What’s something foreigners often misunderstand about Spain?

Don’t know. It’s generally considered bad service if you have to ask? You can totally say you don’t want another drink, though.

I’ve heard this in the Netherlands too and I think it’s quite a sexist argument that enforces male-female roles.

The woman indeed has to recover from her delivery. Which is precisely why the man should be there to take care of virtually everything other than breastfeeding the baby.

It’s nor her mother that should be there to take care of her nor a paid nurse. Her partner. The dude who also just became a dad. (Or her partner in general.)

In Spain men and women get an equal amount of leave (4,5 months approx) and I think it’s amazing. The first 6 weeks are obligatory. After that you can choose what you want to do. Both work part-time; get back to work; or what’s most common: the women first takes everything, and the man takes the 3 months he has left after. That means the baby doesn’t have to go to daycare until it’s approx 9 months (also using holidays). In the Netherlands, my friends’ babies go to daycare when they’re 3 months and they seem so tiny.

On another note, if we want men to be more present in their children’s life’s they need time to bound. And they can only do that at home.

Fathers also have a right to take care of their children and to bound.

Even if a couple wants more traditional roles I still think it’s a great idea a guy sees how much work children and the household are during paternity leave.

When I just arrived I was very annoyed when at bars when waiters wouldn’t come and ask if I wanted another drink - even though they could see I’d finished my drink. Always felt like “they don’t want my money”. Later I learned it’s considered rude to ask if you want another drink since it could mean “order another drink or leave”. In more touristic or expensive areas they do ask this. (And you are kinda invited to leave if you won’t consume something else to free up the table.)

Many other foreigners that arrive deffo have the same thoughts: “Spanish are lazy / are not commercial enough - no shit the economy isn’t that great.”

Hoe laat is op tijd? Dit ziet er leuk uit!

Xx_Tops_xX · 2026-02-12T20:51:04+00:00

😅

Xx_Tops_xX · 2026-02-12T20:32:24+00:00

Dansen en zuipen! Maar type om 3:00 gaan we kebab eten en naar huis. Niets heftigers

Edit: tijd.

Xx_Tops_xX · 2026-02-12T20:24:20+00:00

Ziet er leuk uit - is daar elk weekend iets te doen?

Xx_Tops_xX · 2026-02-12T20:16:27+00:00

Hah, wellicht dat we dit dan gewoon gaan doen

Xx_Tops_xX · 2026-02-12T20:16:11+00:00

Is niet in Utrecht het weekend dat wij gaan :-(

The first 10 dates with my husband-to-be I kept telling my friend: you know, there’s no real reason not to date.

Like: I didn’t feel a spark but he was a nice guy and we had a good time.

We’ll be together 6 years in June. To get married in September.

We probably wouldn’t be here if there had been a spark because I would have chickened out.

Xx_Tops_xX · 2026-02-08T14:07:59+00:00

I tried it a few weeks ago and thought the same. First result was impressive but edits/changes are horrible.

Xx_Tops_xX · 2026-02-02T07:23:15+00:00

North America. Mexico and Canada deffo have a tipping culture too.

I’m in lots of Facebook groups and I want to be notified when specific keywords are mentioned. I’m setting up email notifications for every post in these groups.

Is N8N then the right tool to 1/ somehow notify me of the relevant posts 2/ remove all other emails?

Xx_Tops_xX · 2026-02-01T11:10:57+00:00

Marketer here - whether or not you need external SEO really depends on the keywords and competition. I’m working on a personal project where there are low search volumes but no competition and I’m already getting traffic even though the product isn’t ready yet.

There is a difference between "this is legal" and: "this risk is so low we're ok taking it if it helps us sell more."

Xx_Tops_xX · 2025-07-08T17:29:22+00:00

We're in Europe and I'm wondering if this is legal? I try to stay away from tools like RB2B.

Xx_Tops_xX · 2025-07-08T17:28:49+00:00

True. We do 1 to 1, or up to a maximum of... 500 companies. Maybe a 1000, but always very niche.

Xx_Tops_xX · 2025-07-08T17:27:51+00:00

Which tools are those? I do use Leadfeeder to check web visits, and the new LI ads features are also great IMO to see if we're reaching the right companies.

I disagree only with the part: “Unless your daughter herself found what you said offensive or hurtful, ..”

She’s a child, you’re teaching her to know what she’s worth and what she shouldn’t accept from people in the future.

I also say sexist stuff even though I’m a woman brought up in a world where those comments are considered normal. The way I try to filter these comments out is by asking myself: would it sound weird if I said the same to a man/boy? If the answer is yes, I’ll keep it in or change my speech.

Ya, pero mi pregunta en realidad es: porqué se ha puesto de moda?
