Yeah, Stronger from 2007 is a legendary song.

Yes, it is. It is better than Tinder but still hard. After weeks of using it, I have only ever got three matches from women, Two did not respond. I switched it to BFF (i.e friendship) and matches with guys are more common. It seems like online is so easy for women.

We are meant to go to these things without much expectation. As long as you are civil and don't have bad intention, I don't see an issue. Women reject men all the time.

I tried Bumble recently and went on a date. I found out the lady was married and had a kid before but went just to up my social muscle without any intention. The lady said she was interested but felt I was not putting in as much effort. My psychological attitude may have had an effect but I am...

I went on a date with a lady from OKC a few years ago. It was one of the few that progressed to the second date. In the end, it turned out she was interested in going on dates because she was getting new experiences and I was paying for everything. Fortuntely I realized it early and cut her off...

The apps are very difficult to navigate for men these days unless you are extremely good looking. I have to go through hundreds of matches just to get one and even then, it hardly ever leads to good convos.

I decided to take a job as an English Teacher but am in a rural area where few speak English and I don't speak Japanese either. I've been trying to get back onto the scene (not much experience and it's been a whole more than three years now) since I even went on a coffee date. Basically I've...

Moved to Japan now. Tried Tinder and the only girls I match with are hookers and it is likely their VA's responding. The fact that I'm a brown guy does not work either, haha. It seems like it only works if you are white here when it comes to locals. I probably have to try and meet people in...

How is the camera?

Got these. Definitely good investments. Helped me twice to type out two documents quickly on short deadline when my laptop behaved oddly.

Not sure how others feel but personally I gave up on making life plans years ago. We change all the time and are different people to what we were a year ago. I've learnt that simply some things will work out better than expected and others worse so we should just try to better ourselves in the...

I have seen many tech recruiters on LinkedIn so you can try contacting them. I literally cannot count the amount of them that there are. In my field, it's extremely rare.

Ok, After finally getting an interview for a job abroad, I get feedback and get told I'm on standby should someone pull out. I really thought I stood a good chance with this one, especially as the interview panel seemed to like me. I'm not sure but a rejection may have been better as it...

I'm not a big fan of Hamilton either and found him annoying in his younger days but he's matured a lot and dealt with defeat in a classy way after losing out to Verstappen. I highly doubt prime Schumacher would have dealt with it the same way if history is to go by. I don't need to be a fan to...

He's at best a very passionate F1 fan. He gets away with it because he's in SA where there are very few people connected to F1 insiders (those that are are likely not involved in media work). They are probably the staff of Ferrari, Mercedes etc. He just throws in some technical jargon which on...
