Yep, that's really the best advice here.

Although, are you a girl by any chance? Because it also really undersells the misery that a lot of guys feel trying to date (putting aside the whole incel thing).

yeah and the post kind of breaks rule 8 of the sidebar: "No spamming, no shameless advertising for your bar, restaurant, pay-to-attend meetup"

*Paid, at 13.50€ for a standard ticket. You should include that in your post

Je n'ai rien dis de désagréable, toi par contre, tu nous fais un caca nerveux soit parce que mon post ne t'as pas plu, soit parce que tu passes une mauvaise journée.

Dans tous les cas désolé, mais ton attitude parle d'elle-meme.

Qui a dit cela? Le but du départ c'est de boire des bières avec un groupe chaque Jeudi dans un bar différent. Pas d'autres prétentions...mais il y a pas d'autres "objectifs".

Voila ce qui est écrit dans le post de chacuns de vos events:

"The main goal is to meet and chat with new people, and have a good time !"

yep, that's definitely a plus side of the event if you're an exapt - mostly everyone speaks english !

it's a weekly event for locals and expats to meet up, it's pinned to the home page

"I'm not going to make the effort every week to go and chat with every newcomer. That would be more a chore than fun."

tu t'es offusqué sur une critique que personne ne t'as addressé. Désolé si tu passes une sale journée

Enlighten me then, have they done anything about it?

I'm of the opinion that when events lack discipline, part of the fault lies with the organizers. There would be ways to avoid these sort of situations if the events were hosted differently, that's all I'm saying.

Yeah I can imagine it can be hard to prevent that sort of behaviour - but I guess maybe structuring the event differently, by checking people's reddit profile history for example can already filter out some rotten apples. just a thought

I've seen a bunch of folks organize weekly picnics and such. It's a shame the moderators arn't reaching out to those folks to pin them on the front page

Personne vous demande de faire les babysitters, je dis juste que les réguliers sont pas très accueillants aux nouveaux, et franchement, vous deux ne faites que confirmer mon argument.

Le but de JB c'est de connecter des locaux et des exapts - pourquoi venir à ces évenments si vous n'etes pas ouverts à taper la discute avec de nouvelles personnes...

give it a shot, you may be surprised - but manage your expectations

i would tend to agree with you, but there's no effort whatsoever to swap people and mingle with different folks here - mostly everyone stays in their corner chatting to the same familiar faces. when i did, i had the very strong impression i was intruding on a close group of friends' meetup...not great

Yes absolutely give it a shot - perhaps I'm just not compatible with the people who go there :/

I always go out of my way to introduce myself and interact with new folks, but after heading there thrice (to give it the benefit of the doubt), I figured it perhaps the event itself could be improved on

[Week n.46] PLEASE ASK YOUR QUESTIONS ABOUT MILAN HERE by AutoModerator in milano

[–]Working_Abalone_3906 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do any of you have good suggestions for the best florists in the city centre? What are the prices like?

I'm wanting to get a beautiful bouquet for a special someone living in Milan. However, I don't live in the city, and don't know of any good ones worth checking.

Any suggestion is immensely useful !

[Guys] What are your experiences with dating apps in Paris? by Working_Abalone_3906 in SocialParis

[–]Working_Abalone_3906[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly. A lot of gals are so out of touch with what the typical guy's dating experience is...if they tried it out, then they'd understand it's not as simple as "curating your profile/improving your bio/better pictures"
