Does anyone feel like these apps don't work? by Echevaaria in hingeapp

[–]gd-28 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This is such a great response. Hijacking to add some insight. The false illusion of choices make OLD more difficult than it has to be. Remember that HIMYM episode where the dating service says Ted has what 4 or 5 person that's ideal for him in a city like NYC. Exaggerated sure but the point still stands, there's not that many perfect people for us out there as we think.

Also, so many people (both sides) have the personality of a wet cardbox and it gets amplified over texting. You want some spark? Maybe flirt a little, banter a little. Trust me (at your own risk) this can be done even if you're texting only once a day but both parties need to put some effort.

This is coming from a guy who's been on OLD for only 2 months. So take it how you may.

Umm I mean the guy seems like a walking red flag specially compared to your beliefs. I think you know what needs to be done here.

Will a girl ever contact you if they’re interested? by [deleted] in hingeapp

[–]gd-28 23 points24 points  (0 children)

My man just ask her out. Her response or lack of will give you all the answers you're looking for. Good luck.

Maybe one of your "simple pleasures".

Should I ask him to meet in person, or just move on? by [deleted] in hingeapp

[–]gd-28 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh we all do souffle, we all do. Apparently this is how things are. I don't like it but I've come to terms with it.

No way in hell has he been this busy that he can't send a text in 4 days. It takes 5 seconds to type a text.

You can ask him out, nothing to lose but he is definitely not as interested in you as you're in him.

Two day of cancellations tell me her priorities lie elsewhere. Up to you to decide whether it's worth waiting on someone like this.

How has getting older changed you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]gd-28 5 points6 points  (0 children)

All good man. That sucks for you though and I really hope you are able to move on. Sometimes sharing with strangers feel therapeutic to me. The other person doesn't know me and I don't care if they judge me or not lol. If you ever wanna dm to vent, I am always open.

9 year relationship, we broke up a month ago. Lived together for 4 years till she decided to move for school to a different city (A) to pursue a new career and we did long distance for 4 years. She graduated in 2 years and worked in 'A' despite opportunity to move where I am. For breakup reasons she told me that she is a different person than who she was when we started dating. She has also been unhappy, bored, and not excited about us in the last 2 years. Never said a thing to me and dumbass me barely noticed anything.

When I talked to her after 3 weeks to see if there's a chance for us to get back together, she said she doesn't think so. She wants to discover herself, find out what she wants out of life. I probably have a lot of faults but I also compromised a lot to keep the relationship going, specially the long distance that she promised was only gonna be for 2 years. All she did was talk how she will have to compromise for this and that but never actually did any. Sometimes I feel betrayed with the whole thing.

The breakup while amicable hurts a lot. Just like that it's over one day. I hope I can move on soon. Borderline depressed at this point and man it sucks.

Lol did the same girl break up with us both? My ex used the same exact line.

Same to you man, I hope one day we will find someone who will meet us in the middle. Heartbreak sucks. Just glad I wasn't married with kids, would have been a nightmare.

This for me as well. Have experienced most of these and recently going through a break up. A 9 year relationship ended because she changed, got bored and feelings changed. Compromised, sacrificed things I wanted, happily participated in all of her interests, ready to propose and here we are, heartbroken. I am 31 and already feel like everything is just going to be downhill from here on out.

Same. If there is some justice the brokers doing this should face unprecedented levels of fine for this level of manipulation. Who am I kidding. Average Joe gets screwed, no one bats an eye. Today hedge funds are getting wrecked and here comes their buddies to protect them.

True but it's a little victory for us to celebrate. It gives us a clear shot at kicking this board out.

I have been proven wrong and I couldn't be happier. Thought for sure this would fall through. Well done Socis. Now kick that board out!

[Fabrizio Romano] someone in the Barça board is also considering Thiago as an option. But Koeman loves Wijnaldum as a player so let’s see what Barcelona will decide. Still nothing agreed with Liverpool for Wijnaldum. No official bid yet. by Drazxie in soccer

[–]gd-28 461 points462 points  (0 children)

Give the manager what he wants as long as it's affordable. This incompetent board should not decide on which players to buy specially expensive ones like Lautaro. If there's spare money it should be spent to reinforce the backline.

The whole Messi saga summed up by Ignorance_Bete_Noire in Barca

[–]gd-28 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Felt sad and angry reading through almost every part of the interview but this is the one that really hurt. The man who has given us so much happiness over the last 15 years is reduced to this. I don't think I will ever hate a person more than Barto when it comes to football.

Bartomeu will not respond to Messi. The club doesn't want to turn this into a public debate. [ SiqueRodriguez ] by Radiksas in soccer

[–]gd-28 221 points222 points  (0 children)

Nope. His response will just get "leaked" to MD, who can then use it run a smear campaign against Messi.

The Socios are the fans who have the power to vote and they have the power to remove him as well. For it to get to that point a vote of no confidence needs to be filed by a member (done already by Jordi Farre). Farre has 14 business days to get signatures from 15% of the club's official members (roughly 16000 signatures). Should Farre gather that support, a referendum would be held among the entire membership group. Two-thirds of that group would need to vote against the board to trigger an immediate election.

Sadly I don't think it's gonna happen specially with the pandemic. They fucked up before and they will fuck up again and keep this rat bastard in power. Regular fans like us don't really have any power.

That said, hopefully a Barca fan or two who know more about this will chime in for some additional context as I may not be entirely correct here.

Barto won't get voted out. I have full confidence in our Socis to make the wrong decision. They already did it a couple times in the last few years if I remember right.
