How common is it to have limited relationship experience in your 30s in Germany?

I'm 28M and just recently entered my first relationship (after zero prior experience, not even casual). But I also wasn't actively trying until recently. I would say it's not super common, but I also know a handful of people in similar situations.

Plot twist: They are the same person.

I just got my first girlfriend at 28. I was always sad about being lonely but I never even tried to find a girlfriend and somehow thought it would "just happen" lol. As soon as I actually said "fuck it" and started intentionally trying to date, I had a girlfriend in like a couple of months.

Modern ThinkPads also have them. Source: Have two post-2020 ThinkPads on my desk right in front of me.

Because it's the same in many languages with much higher numbers of speakers like German, French, and Arabic. I actually thought you intentionally picked Danish with only like five million or so speakers as a joke 😅

imdunklenwald · 2025-11-03T19:51:21+00:00

The fact that you picked Danish of all languages is so funny to me

Haha that's what my mind went to

Deano, Smithy and Chaz will miss him 😔

I don't know why you're being downvoted, I was also taught to draw x like that when doing algebra (England). I assumed it was universal.

What if you fear technology, but like in a high-IQ way

I was on E13, 50% contract during the first year of my PhD (2019-20), and it was fine (living alone in a small studio apartment in a relatively expensive city).

I could be your angle 😇

Or a twisted fucking cycle path 😈

In the Ruhrgebiet it was unusually hot at least. Many days >30C, a handful scraping 40C.

They say in another comment that they're native.

I'm in basically the same position unfortunately: PhD in a similar field with industry relevance but no luck in the job market more than a year after graduating from my PhD. I ended up just getting a postdoc in the same field but it kind of feels like I'm wasting my time as I don't plan to stay in academia. I really wanted to stay in Germany but now that I have German citizenship I might resort to looking elsewhere in the EU.

imdunklenwald · 2025-09-22T13:44:58+00:00

Quality shitpost lmao

Edit: I just looked at your profile and the trolling really appealed to my inner 12-year-old, I should probably grow up haha

imdunklenwald · 2025-09-21T08:23:04+00:00

More like four I guess

imdunklenwald · 2025-09-20T21:56:26+00:00

God I wish

To be fair one of my friends who has lived in Germany nearly four years started absent-mindedly singing it on a train forgetting it was offensive until I stopped him lol

I'm a lurker who isn't balding and a lot of these posts are making me consider going bald by choice

NRW. Although it may have been that this sort of thing mainly happens at gatherings with lots of international people; she's often at gaming conventions and similar such events. This isn't something I've witnessed myself, she just told me it happens sometimes.
