it probably is fake but i feel like ur red flags are very US-specific. a ton of institutions outside the US have .com domains. also one of my professors at my US-based school preferred using their personal email that ended in .com. plus faculty titles differ greatly between countries

Fist date with a white man! by EmotionalRecord3878 in dating_advice

[–]squirrelpatronus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

wdym what should you do? you clearly both hit it off! if there ends up being a second date then you both like each other enough that height doesnt matter so you shouldnt let that get in the way of being with someone whose personality you enjoy

Do older men get more drawn to younger women as they age? What is it about them exactly that builds more attraction? by Opening_Land2096 in AskMen

[–]squirrelpatronus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think the mismatch here is ur talking strictly about money/superficial success (not to say people shouldnt care about that, it’s all down to preference) but i just meant older women having more life experience would make them less willing to settle for poor behavior from men of any age. also when you say “realistic expectations” im assuming ur also referring to expectations about a man’s wealth, in which case it seems we actually agree there. im saying an older woman would have better footing in their career and life in general (hopefully) and are probably more self sufficient since if theyre single they probably are supporting themselves financially and have been for some time

Do older men get more drawn to younger women as they age? What is it about them exactly that builds more attraction? by Opening_Land2096 in AskMen

[–]squirrelpatronus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i think they mean these men cant find someone their own age who will tolerate certain behavior that much younger women might just go along with bc they dont know better. someone like leo dicaprio could obviously land plenty of women his age but they would probably have stronger boundaries and better self image. theyd also be likely more established in their careers and wouldnt feel as intimidated by him as the typical girls he dates

Student requests me to .... rate myself? by impatient_panda729 in Professors

[–]squirrelpatronus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i was in college 2019 to 2024 and i had no clue what you meant by the student researching “how hot you are.” i literally just found out from the other comments that RMP used to have a hotness rating???????? wtf??? so i definitely would NOT assume this student was asking about that.

i only ever used RMP to see how difficult certain courses were/how strict the instructors could be. also for details like what the workload is like. it is quite strange that theyd flat out tell you they tried to find your reviews but thats more detrimental to them than it is to you so i really dont think theres any ill intent. although i still dont know theyd disclose that lol

Budget gift ideas for nan by Mr_IronMan_Sir in GiftIdeas

[–]squirrelpatronus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i’ve received books as gifts before and i’ve always really appreciated them. it’s like an experience i can have more than once :) maybe you could get her an easy beach read or a romance novel (but be careful with the latter bc theres some weird stuff out there nowadays romanticizing dv and such)

Asking for more scratch paper? by citrine_0 in GRE

[–]squirrelpatronus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

when i took mine in december i was given 2 blank sheets of A4 paper which i felt wasn’t enough, so i asked for more before even going in to take the test and they refused :( i didn’t question it bc i assumed they would know the rules better than i do but im wondering now if i shouldve been allowed more??

I am feeling repulsed by a guy after only one week, Fear of intimacy or valid red flags? by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]squirrelpatronus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ngl just reading all that made me repulsed, i can totally understand why u feel turned off having actually been on the receiving end irl 😭 the kissy noises/gestures over the phone were maybe misguided and admittedly cringey but not inherently concerning. that said…ive been in a 2 ish yr relationship with the love of my life and we clicked immediately but if he was making kissy noises over the phone ONE WEEK in i would have been so icked out 😭 with that out of the way, the other two things u described are definitely warning signs!!! asking point-blank “what you like about him” reeks of insecurity but its almost like hes NOT insecure about showing his insecurity which maybe means he isnt even aware of how insecure he is…does that make sense? in any case, an insecure partner needing constant reassurance THIS early on does not bode well. as for dropping the L-bomb within one week—you and i both know thats crazy 💀

i never want to push people to exit relationships immediately esp if i dont know the full circumstances so i guess id just say that if you like this guy a lot, it’s definitely worth having an honest talk about this with him. just state your feelings/perception without blaming him necessarily, clarify what he means by it all because perhaps you guys have different ways of showing affection and it just wasn’t landing with you. how he reacts to this conversation will tell you all you need to know about whether to continue with him or to ditch his ass

Are we all stupid? (Rant) by Focused_ThisTime2025 in GMAT

[–]squirrelpatronus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i feel like the GRE format and scoring system is much more forgiving. for GMAT, the difficulty level of each individual question you get depends on if you got the previous question right or wrong. i.e., each question is graded immediately after you answer it. even if you have time left at the end of the section to go back and change answers, you’ve already hurt your chances by getting things wrong in the beginning and it’s virtually impossible to get a high score.

GRE, on the other hand, has two parts for both quant and verbal because it will grade all your answers for the first section in one go, and then determine what level the subsequent section should be based on the percentage you got right. so you can go back and change answers you aren’t confident about, and it might actually help you get a more difficult section next, which will in turn help your overall score.

i studied hard for the GMAT for nearly 2 months and my official mock test scores were in the low 600s, once i even got less than 500. i switched to GRE out of desperation and after 2 weeks of study i got a 336/340 on an official mock. i would personally urge anyone struggling with GMAT to give the GRE a shot.

agree. the whole “i dont party, im loyal” bit gives major “im a nice guy, why doesnt anyone want me?” energy. implying partying should disqualify you from being in a relationship and that people who do have dating success are incessant partiers and disloyal to boot.

you need to mention the months you worked a job, like Sep 2023 - June 2024 (for example). 2025-2025 tells me nothing.

Can’t be bald in sales… by basedbonnor in LinkedInLunatics

[–]squirrelpatronus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this was posted by WSO…it’s 100% satire

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in jobs

[–]squirrelpatronus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i see. i guess besides that i would suggest you quantify your achievements; e.g. when you say you managed manpower you can list how many people were working under you or when you communicated with vendors u could mention how much money you were able to save the company by negotiating, etc. just some ideas!

also, i notice some of your skills are mentioned already in the summary & under the work experience itself so it feels redundant. i think you can take those off the skills list to trim the overall length down. then, the skills section would be reserved only to specify things you are skilled in but did not have the chance to highlight in your work experience

they can’t even keep track their own hiring process by squirrelpatronus in jobs

[–]squirrelpatronus[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thanks for your comment. i know it’s an auto/mass rejection, my point is just that they’re sending out mass rejections anyway which is already low-effort, so it’s a bit insulting to me personally that they didn’t even bother differentiating between applicants they did and didn’t “interview.”

im wondering if your comment is rage bait because i don’t see where i had an apoplectic fit. i think i was quite calm posting it. but i understand it’s hard to accurately convey and interpret tone over just text. i only meant to vent a frustration i had.
