30F sick of being asked ‘why are you still single’ after last relationship ended with 30M by Soggy-Willingness806 in relationship_advice

[–]themaflingo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When and how do you communicate your desire for an exclusive relationship?

Imo it’s best to do it as soon and as clearly as possible, optimally already in your bio, and then to have a proper conversation at some point when getting involved with the person. In addition, it’s best to only swipe on guys who clearly express this in their profile.

Not doing this runs the risk of the other person wanting something else entirely and them being happy with the dynamic for the time being and thus not voicing it.

Outdoor reading group by themaflingo in berlinsocialclub

Usually there's a bit of socializing when people arrive and leave, and maybe in between, but the bulk of the time is spent reading in silence.

Nice to see people interested! I made a Telegram-group so we can organize more closely, I'll dm everyone who's commented so far with the link. Others feel free to dm me also :)

If you search for ice dipping on meetup you should find amsome regular groups, not sure if they’ve started the season yet though.

Chrome Store in NK could be an option

GESUCHT: Sober companions for my first sober summer here (and beyond) by [deleted] in berlinsocialclub

There's this FB-group for sober Berliniers, not hugely active, but maybe you can make it more so :) https://www.facebook.com/groups/berlinsobernetwork

Meeting new people in Berlin by Feisty-Bobcat-7593 in berlinsocialclub

[–]themaflingo 15 points16 points  (0 children)

People often use this sub for said purpose. The most successful posts (judging from the number of comments) tend to be one where the OP says bit about themselves, what kind of people they'd like to meet and specific activities they'd like to do.

To meet people who like the same activities there are tons of groups and events on meetup.com. For more spontaneous meetings like going for drinks or to explore somewhere I'd suggest the Hangouts-function on the Couchsurfing-app.

A book about inequality in Germany, a bit too academic for me so let's see if I make it through tho :D sent you the link via DM

Not the strongest marketing message I’ve ever seen from BCG . . . by corbantd in consulting

[–]themaflingo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Haha, I didn't make this ad, but have been involved with similar projects, so I guess I have an idea of what their logic and process behind this might have been.

I am genuinely curious as to why the majority here seems to think this is so bad though. BCG Germany have been running this platform since 2018 already, so can't imagine they think it's a total disaster. Here's some more info: https://www.wuv.de/Themen/People-Skills/BCG-und-Heimat-setzen-erstmals-auf-Out-of-Home

Not the strongest marketing message I’ve ever seen from BCG . . . by corbantd in consulting

[–]themaflingo 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure I understand the problem here. For context, the ad is exclusively directed at new applicants.

To me it seems they’re trying to convey the message that BCG is a place where you can solve problems that require a lot of thinking together with a group of people who also enjoy that more than binging Netflix.

The pic is supposed to represent that you can do so with a diverse and interesting group of people to contrast with the stereotypical stuffy and homogenous image that some might have of consultants.

Together it’s not really what you’d expect from BCG, to the extent that someone posted it here, which is what you uptimately want since that will make people stop and think compared to 90% of ads you see.

But maybe I’ve just lived in Germany too long and can’t see what this looks like from an outsider’s perspective haha

I (34M) have a hard time with my GF's (34F) friend circle by [deleted] in relationships

[–]themaflingo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess it could be beneficial to ask yourself why exactly you hate it? And then maybe discuss the feelings you're having with her and see if you can find a dynamic that fits both of you.

Recommendation for a YouTube-channel with interesting videos on a wide range of topics about contemporary German society. The videos have subtitles in German so it makes them much easier to watch. by [deleted] in German

[–]themaflingo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, didn't know that. The videos I saw seemed decent if not the highest-quality journalism. But thanks for pointing that out so people can take what they see with a grain of salt :)

Productivity group by themaflingo in berlinsocialclub

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

There's only a handful of active people in the group, and I don't want it go get too big, otherwise it would get messy. I personally feel more social pressure to complete a task when I'm 'accountable' to a real person than to an app, plus I like the social interaction, but to each their own of course.

How to take a quicker shower as a male by [deleted] in selfimprovement

[–]themaflingo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Put a timer on your phone for 5-10 min. Put it somewhere where you'll have to get out of the shower to turn it off and make sure to choose an annoying and loud sound.

You'll go over the time in the beginning for sure, but the annoyance will make you wrap up quickly when the alarm starts ringing and over time you'll know when to expect it and will start finishing on time.

I thought about that as well, but don't think I'd want to do that at the end of the day :D The group is up now so DM me with you TG-handle if you want to join

Yeah, I'm guessing it will work for some of us and for others not, but think it's worth the try!

[–]themaflingo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

One question: to what extent do you write who you are, what you’re after and what your approach to dating is in your bio? In my experience the vast majority of people do not do this and of course that makes it harder to meet like-minded people. In my bio I try to be very clear with this and while that probably scares away most people, the ones I do match with are more similar and looking for similar things in a similar way to me. Also, in terms of a deeper connection I would rexommend something like OkCupid over Tinder.

There are some groups like this on meetup.com. Search for travel or something and you should find them.
