I wonder how many of the people who complain here (and it´s not like I dont understnad them) exaggerate or have simply not tried to change district or environment within the city. I mean OK my perception might be skewed since I havent left the city for about a year now due to monetarian reasons (yes, I feel you there) but... I can smile. I smile a lot. Also, I dont think that Berlin women are ugly. Or even german women. Also, I swear sometimes. I tell people to f* off. Pretty much every day actually. One time I left a bar, like this: I was joking and suddenly my interlocutor went dead-serious and didnt say a word. And I was like "Did something happen? What´s the matter with you" -"Oh no it´s just I prefer to listen to the song playing right now rather than to listen to stupid jokes" -"You know what ? F* you. Just f* you, classless rude idiot" - this is how I live here. And I confront people. It´s hard to think that you cant get by here without just telling them "Hey. Youre a rude idiot". - Do it. Just do it and things might change ;)

It's simply too exhausting and emotionally draining to continually call people out on their rudeness. Sadly a friendly nod or generally pleasant interaction is beyond the grasp of most Berliners.

And here's what happens when you stay in Berlin for more than 6 months. You become broke and believe telling people to f*ck off is acceptable.

Well, dear Anonymous - yes, being broke might have something to do with Berlin. But confronting people who are rude with their own rudeness but telling them to simply f* off (I dont do that usually you know) is something I would do in any other environment. And yes that´s okay. It is also okay to call a Nazi a Nazi. It is ok to call a rude illegitimate child a rude bastard. And just by the same logic it is ok to tell somebody who rudely told you to f* off for no reason, well: to f* off. If you have a problem with that, then that´s not Berlin´s fault. Thanks.

If anything I've omitted disgusting details. And that comes from someone who's already left the city. Because when I lived there I got used to mild disrespectful actions.

I cannot convey my sharp wit and intelligence in German spontaneously though. And the average Berliner is not really receptive to wit and intelligence anyway

I wish I could suggest a good one. All that I found were more intent on supporting the German of the couple than impartial advice and support. Can try the embassies. They usually have a list of helpful people.

Left Berlin a year ago - still plagued by memories of how horrific that city is...would rather be in jail than return...it gets worse and worse and there are no jobs or opportunities and the ppl are rubbish. Only happy people are international drunk students. My tip: AVOID.

And I forgot to mention they have the crappiest airport in the world (what the fornicate is this Tegel shit???) with german employees who can barely speak english... They have so many foreigners in that pooping city who can speak several languages, why don't they hire them?

Three years ago i left Tegel for what I thought was the last time. My return ticket said Berlin Brandenburg International airport for a few weeks later. I returned to Tegel... lol. I have visited BBI, very nice looking ghost town. Embarrassment of Germany... noone even talks about it anymore

I hate Berlin from the bottom of my heart and the Berliners as well.
The city is simply ugly, charmless, not cosy, nor pretty, the only positive thing is the public transport running all night during the weekend... but then you need to have somewhere to go.
As for the people, omg, I visited several capital or main cities of different countries, but i've never met by far worse than Berliners (i wrote Berliners, but I could also have refered to people living in Leipzig, Dresden, ...). They are so rude, agressive, narrow minded, rigid, cold, arrogant AND racist/xenophobic. Jeez, those people make sick. A friend sent me the link to this page, when I told him how much i dislike this place, he told me I wasn't alone, because until now I thought i was...

So true, they don't smile! Even children waiting together for the bus after school don't smile... Berliners are like zombies!
I hope you can leave soon!!

I've been wondering for over a decade. I guess it's a combination of inbreeding, bad diet, bad climate, and an excess of testosterone and Neanderthal genetics.

I always get a bit jaded in the late spring because the women start wearing less clothes and body wise, they can be nice to look at at times... it is mostly the hard emotionless and ugly faces that make me cringe... this is all we see in the 9 month winter unfortunately.

Merry Christmas berlin haters! I'm at my girlfriends parents for Christmas this year, and have the horror of a toilet with a little ledge to catch the poop to contend with for the next few days! Its quite horrid!

I find this invention senseful. For example, if you have to check your poop for medical reasons, or if you just want to look at the consistence. What if people do not know that they have parasites just because they never get to see their excrements?

But it smells, and very very rarely do I feel the need to inspect my poop. And just cuz its sitting on a shelf, I'm no more likely to inspect it for parasites than when its submerged by water (which blocks the smell considerably)

My strength to all non germans having to spend the winter this year in berlin, its a long one and the german women if you have a neighbour for one will fouking complain about anything at any time of the day. Any noise that rises above a whisper for the next 5 months.

Pretty much any small city in Russia or ex-URSS and Saint Petersburg & Moscow. Moscow specially it's worse than Berlin for sure, I had to spend there 7 months due to work. The city's expensive af and it has the feel that you will get murdered if you get lost. It has the worst drivers ever and junkies are everywhere, I calculate that there are around 10X-20X the amount of junkies in Berlin (and those will mug you). I also dislike Warsaw but there are some who think it's the best because it's so cheap but whatever, not more me either. Also many cities by the black sea that used to be the to-go summer party destination like Odessa but now they are crap due to the Ukranian - Russian war I wouldn't risk to go there.
