If you leave the house with simply long hair and minimal makeup (taking 5 seconds) it’s like every man tries to invade your space or stares on the train. Is this why german women look like crap? Or do men do this because german women look like crap?
Happened to me yesterday in the Ubahn. A guy was staring intensely and that’s about it.
It’s uncomfortable as fuck. At least if you seem me noticing you at least show a smile, say hello or anything. I don’t expect full conversations, but just staring is creepy. What is going on in their minds when they do it?
Ive noticed that Germans stare right into your eyes without making any expression. Its like a kind of dominance thing, like are you confident enough to cold-stare back at me or are you intimidated by my harsh glare. Smiling and making small talk with strangers isnt a thing here and if anyone does it you immediately think they are some kind of psycho who wants something from you. I think this whole staring people down without revealing anything of your own interior mindset must come from the stasi and nazi eras where it was important not to reveal what side you were on. Its a self-protective mechanism that no longer has any use.
I am the one with the Ubahn experience. I do get your point, all valid for sure.
I must also say that we all sometimes catch ourselves looking at people, no doubt. But what I usually do when I do get spontaneous eye contact with someone randomly, I smile, even half a smile to avoid looking like a psycho.
I think it’s a simple gesture, friendly and comforting. Luckily, I guess I stare at nice people as even in Berlin that works, and most of the people smile back.
They should try it, I swear.
Managers are totally weird here. They don't give clear work instructions nor a vision/plan what they want you to achieve. They give you some vague hints and I guess your job is to simply guess what they want. And if the whole thing doesn't work out they can blame you.
Same experiences at my workplace. We discuss a topic during a meeting but everything stays so foggy and unfocused that I never know exactly what to work on. Whenever I just take over and make my own decisions based on common sense and what move us forward I usually receive some angry looks and my work is disregarded. If I decide not to do anything specific and just go with the vagueness I once again receive negative reactions as I am “not doing my work.” I am at a point where I don’t know what to do anymore.
I think at least %70 of Germans have some sort of autism. Otherwise, It can’t be possible to have lack of social skills this much. Nation of autistics.
Any Aussie here?

And please pass it on
Just shouted at a random old German hag when she tried to correct me on the street. shouted at the top of my lungs "GO fornicate YOURSELF, SHUT THE fornicate UP" needless to say she went her way. Piece of shit. Should dump these assholes in Naples or Sicily for a day see how they survive their without a bullet in their head.
Lol, you sound like me when dealing with Berliners. My patience has run out with these clowns. In return, my temper is short and I don’t tolerate poop from them. I want to get on that flight and leave today but I can’t. But until I can get the money to leave for another country then I want take poop from their hypothetical shit! This place ruined my life and my career! fornicate Germans!
" This place ruined my life and my career!"
Same and fuuuuccck every German who tries to correct me. Funny how they'll explode when you throw a bottle away on a Sunday but won't say anything to someone shooting up in front of a school or pissing into a doorway.
The rules, such as their opinions, are arbitrary. They aren’t facts. They also don’t exist in the rest of the world. We don’t need to be policed and micromanaged by strangers. Just because they had to deal with it their entire lives and were brainwashed into thinking they have the best system and government. I’m surprised they LOVE their country so much instead of questioning anything . I’m surprised they can’t mind their own business
I am screwed. Please tell me how dumb I am. For real.
I have a crush on a German guy, and he is as awkward and as German as it gets. You can see the flags from a mile, but somehow I still have it...
How do I cure from it? Why are women like this? The Messiah syondrome is real.
I need saving and therapy
He’s already giving me a headache with his ideas/views on life, and has a defensive attitude when told differently.
Still, there is something about this raw, very bubbled up thing about it.
I feel it’s like a wounded little lost thing that needs saving and I might be able to give it :)))))
Joking! I know they are irreparable. I appreciate everyone boosting me up to stay the f*** away. I see it too, clearly
you absolutely need to get yourself a back up fling to the back up fling or you will be the depp
It's been five years since I left Berlin and I still my initial reaction to any conflict is to lash out and shout at people instead of dialogue. In just two years Berlin turned me into a savage and I still haven't fully recovered.
Get out of there before it's too late or you might never be a normal person again.
A 20 year old is a 20 year old, you don’t take them serious that much.
It’s that phase where people are in the discovery phase, don’t know much, change their opinions like the wind and so on.
I have no big expectations of youngsters. The problem comes when they pass that phase but still are stuck there later in life.
20 is OK to be dumb with dumb ideas, they’ll cringe later by themselves when they are woke.
But a full grown cop beating a 20 year old is just... degenerate. At 20 they’re not even of legal age on all planet corners.
That’s retarded
Someone peeing and pooping on the U8. Conductor warned other passengers not to slip.
Can someone explain to me property taxes in Berlin? Considering saving and buying property in prenzlauerberg or Schöneberg but making my money in another country. That way most of what pisses me off about Berlin (taxes and low wages, relying on germans for income) will be eliminated. But are there crazy property taxes? I haven’t owned a flat before. Please explain
Property taxes are low right bow due to a miscalculation in how property values are assessed. Germany has ruled that the current way they are calculated is in violation of the German constitution but has not said how it will be changed moving forward. I am sure they will do everything possible to avoid any real estate market shocks, but I would expect prices to change a lot within 5 - 10 years. That said, German politicians are trying hard to pop the Berlin real estate bubble (with rent caps and regulations on rentals, etc.) so who knows? I also thought there would be a big coronavirus exodus of non-Germans but it doesn't seem to be happening.
Berlin is great if you don’t anmeldung and have savings / make money in another country / are a digital nomad. Really.
Sure but if you don’t rely on the German system and are not bound to the place / don’t have to deal with officials and companies because you’re on a sublet , you can just laugh at the rules and the stupid people’s behaviour, since you are not technically living under them.
I just wanna curse everyone who didn't appreciate me. I think I was apologizing and it didn't get acknowledged and overall I feel I been done wrong, you know it's just a feel. Shouldn't do anything if I'm wrong. We all need love and generally people don't want to appreciate me and you can give this way too, that simple. You just really pissed me off. So yeah, cursed you bitc.hes.
i do hate berlin but how good is skinny dipping though?!
Good if you're a degenerate. I wouldn't touch the lake water in Berlin with my enemy's dick. Blue algae, pollution, piss and shit, just gross. And I wouldn't visit a nude swimming place (Liquidrom has freaking video cameras in the dressing rooms wtf, Vabali full of creepkrauts).
They’re the biggest hypocrites on the planet and the rules don’t make sense. Just look at how the gender changes based on tense for words. The only way I could learn german was to not question if things made sense and instead blindly accepted it. This could be said for most things about the society.
On vacation outside of Berlin. Still in Europe but haven't seen anyone pissing in the street. No drugged out zombies. No aggressive locals. Everyone I have dealt with was respectful. No sarcastic comments at my expense, no passive aggressive sighs. No staring on the trains. No nudists at the beach. No dirty glasses at the restaurants. No dog poop on the sidewalk. No gays rubbing each other off in the parks. GTFO out of northern Europe, it's a darn zoo up there.
Oh and almost forgot: free public bathrooms, free drinking fountains and air conditioning in most restaurants, museums, bars, etc. Tons of families out enjoying the weather.
For Americans it's easy to feel like Europe is a giant pit of crap, but that's mostly Northern Europe.
I remember once I was in Amsterdam and saw they seriously set up outdoor urinals in the middle of the streets (no privacy walls, nothing - just guys with their d1cks out in the open). That would be unthinkable here. And in most of the civilized world. But in Northern Europe it's normal. It's about one step above designated pooping streets in India. And Germans try to lecture me.
