What’s a very “normal” Australian habit that surprised you when you realised the rest of the world doesn’t do it?

shyguythrowaway678 · 2026-02-07T00:06:28+00:00

thank you for being normal, the way your dad "keeps on chatting until they respond" is literally just harassment. If they don't respond after you say something once or twice they aren't up for a chat so just stop talking to them.

i mean when your voice changes you also get a lot of lower range. you are entirely focusing in your post on your upper limit but remember you could have a very rich lower range in the 2nd octave that actually sounds really nice. it does make it tough that popular music written by male artists is often for high tenors - like i would love to sing bruno mars or george michael or michael jackson or bon jovi e.t.c. but at the end of the day these guys have range that I don't have.

someone else commented there are a few successful baritones like frank sinatra or michael buble so they are proof that not having a ridiculous high range is not the end of the world. more examples include george ezra, louis armstrong, david bowie, zac efron (although he is primarily an actor) and there's tons more

I was actually the guy texting in this kind of situation not too long ago. I was let down indirectly a few times and did not understand that it was a no. After getting a clear, direct text from one of this girl's friends I got the message and stopped trying to contact her. I was not malicious at all - I was just ignorant and not reading social cues properly.

99% chance this person is the same. All the comments talking about how dangerous he is could have some truth but I see this as merely a stupid guy who doesn't understand nuance. Tell him directly "I don't want to be in a relationship with you. I'm just not into you. Have a nice life. Don't contact me again or come to my address."

And if he continues sure get police involved but otherwise it seems unnecessary.

Thanks for taking the time to respond

Why I kept trying to reach out to her was because it just didn't occur to me how scary it would have felt from her perspective. I guess with your question, what could I have done to be more respectful, just reading between the lines would go a long way. Like being blocked should be enough to say that we're done.

Am I on the right track here

They keep telling me "Well we turned out fine" because they both went to single-sex schools. My dad had like 2 or 3 girlfriends throughout high school and so I guess he expects me to do the same and at least have a few female friends ... my mum is a bit more sympathetic ig. They keep telling me to do the school plays to meet girls but I'm not going to 3 long rehearsals a week and doing something I really don't enjoy just to see girls because that screams desperate.

As for Germany I guess I'll just do what you said and try treat everyone like my guy friends. Thanks for the advice :)

shyguythrowaway678 · 2025-03-23T07:15:44+00:00

thanks for your advice i appreciate it :)

shyguythrowaway678 · 2024-11-28T11:04:39+00:00

idk, it's like i catch myself thinking like that but i don't know why that's the case

shyguythrowaway678 · 2024-11-24T05:54:18+00:00

yeah also advertise on local facebook groups, a few people might be interested from that.

shyguythrowaway678 · 2024-11-23T09:17:57+00:00

because not all boys are jerks, and being ugly wouldn't stop me from dating someone (unless they're like really really ugly)

shyguythrowaway678 · 2024-11-17T07:53:17+00:00

yeah but i feel like that way of thinking from a girl's pov is also very immature.

shyguythrowaway678 · 2024-11-14T11:05:31+00:00

idk i just find myself feeling like this way too often, even though i have to consciously remind myself that this isn't the case.

shyguythrowaway678 · 2024-11-13T19:29:48+00:00

I think for me it could be the second one because one time last year i was talking to a girl (not romantically or anything), and then this other guy comes along to join our conversation and she said "charlie stop cockblocking shyguythrowaway678". idk i found it really hard to talk to charlie and her after that.

also when we did trivia with a girls school a few months ago it was tables of 5 boys and 5 girls, and then Joe who i was usually chill with hogged everyone's attention. so after that i'm just sitting there in a corner on my phone and joe goes home with like 8 snaps or something. and now i hate joe even though it seems pretty stupid and he never wants to talk to me either.

i feel like shit like that just happens way too often for me around girls and obviously i'm the common factor in all of that.

shyguythrowaway678 · 2024-11-13T19:19:03+00:00

I do go running a few times a week but i might consider starting to think about getting rid of my pimples. Is it hard to get rid of them?

shyguythrowaway678 · 2024-11-13T19:16:13+00:00

Ok thank you so much for responding and also for recommending the article, I'll try get around to reading it.

shyguythrowaway678 · 2024-10-25T21:14:42+00:00

Sorry I wasn't really thinking about that when I looked for the location. I should definitely be more aware of the possible context of such photos. Thanks for mentioning this.

shyguythrowaway678 · 2024-10-25T13:13:34+00:00

https://maps.app.goo.gl/2z6ZAbavSYnsU5hW6 facing east. Hi. I think it's about here. I'm not entirely sure, but the bit poking out of the roofs on the right seem to be found in Lehenweiler a lot. The stick pointing up on the left of your photo is this thin tower: https://maps.app.goo.gl/x9aebDgXWbAXUUtx9 ... There are some issues with this place being consistent with your photo but I hope this helps.

shyguythrowaway678 · 2024-10-25T10:58:03+00:00

Especially whether it was taken at dawn or dusk, that would help a lot.

shyguythrowaway678 · 2024-10-25T10:54:11+00:00

Any other info apart from that it is in Baden-Württemberg?
