white text on yellow background, that's infuriating

[–] Knightfall@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 years ago

I had to zoom in on my phone just to be able to read that!

[–] kn33@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (3 children)

When you're actually using the app instead of having the compression artifacts of being screenshot several times, it's not as bad.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

I don't care if you're watching it in 32k on Odin's personal account, white on yellow is NEVER acceptable for ANYTHING.

[–] Marxine@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

It doesn't make it less of a crime against good design. Low contrast for reading is bad practice.

[–] Redditiscancer789@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

It assails the eyes.

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's kind of nice when people reveal themselves to be insufferable douchebags at the outset rather than wasting your time.

[–] thekernel@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

her persistence indicates he is physically attractive

[–] GustavoM@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (2 children)

If someone does not take the least amount of effort to answer a simple question like that one .... then he doesn't care about you in the slightest.

"But its a generic question!"

Two words: common courtesy.

[–] CarbonatedPastaSauce@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (6 children)

People (guys usually) also answer like this when they are trying to tell you exactly what you want to hear so that you'll sleep with them. They feel like if they give any wrong answer early on, they've lost their chance. It's a very manipulative mindset. He was like a deer in the headlights, not knowing if any answer he gave would be the right answer since he doesn't know her at all yet. So he stalls, hoping she'll drop it.

Or he might just be an idiot.

Either way, drop them and move on to somebody who will be real with you.

[–] GustavoM@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

In other words, playing games, i.e trying to "tick her funne bone" so he gets someone else to play instead of himself. But what most of those guys fail to acknowledge is that "tickling her funne bone" takes time -- it's not a "free pussy pass" of any sort that you "say it", and she goes "WHOOAAA fuck me mister! Fuck me right NOW!". That is not "acting tough" or smart, but acting like a douche.

[–] AFKBRBChocolate@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Yeah, that was my thought as well. This is the type of person who is only going to say something of they think it will impress you. The second possibility is that they will share nothing of themselves, period. In either case, they don't seem like good relationship material.

Id say she got to know just about eveything she needed to know about this person.

[–] eochaid@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Someone's insecure about his Shakira collection.

Seriously though, I'm guessing this guy either doesn't like music at all (I've known a few and they act like this) or got made fun of a lot for his music tastes in high school. It's a shame this guy is probably a walking insecurity.

Which is a great reason to unmatch him and move on.

[–] voidhearts@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago (3 children)

I didn’t even know it was humanly possible to not like music at all. What were they like? Like their personalities? Did they seem sociopathic or were they generally “normal”?

[–] chandz05@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I used to not like music at all and 15 year old me would have probably responded just like this guy. But for me it was more that I didn't know what I liked until I heard it. Everyone around me exclusively listened to top 40 and RnB, or techno/house. I seriously thought there was something wrong with me cos I hated everything I heard. And then I heard metal for the first time, and everything changed.

[–] Im_old@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Nobody's normal, we are all weird in our own way.

[–] eochaid@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

There's a lot of good examples in the comments, but the few Ive ran into were more indifferent thsn anything - like, they never heard anything that appealed to them. One guy I knew actively avoided music because it'd get stuck in his head and drive him nuts.

They seemed normal otherwise, for the most part. But they knew that disliking music was weird and were a little insecute about it.

[–] stevedidWHAT@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (3 children)

"It's something you've never heard of"

"How do you know?"

"...because I'm never going to tell you about it"

[–] jscummy@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

Maybe it's just a super closely guarded musical secret he has to keep. The cabal of music keepers does not take blabbermouths lightly

[–] LaVacaMariposa@mander.xyz 1 points 2 years ago

"Why do girls keep ghosting me? I'm such a nice guy! Bohooohoooo"

[–] Jesuslovesme@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Time to move to the next chat.

[–] mrfriki@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

But you got to know what kind of person she is, right? The app did its job.

[–] Code@programming.dev 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Bro doing "being mysterious" the wrong way

[–] anakaine@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Bro is being long term single if this is his game.

[–] Knightfall@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago

You know... It's seeing this type of stuff I'm so happy I found my wife the old fashioned way before dating apps existed.

[–] hardcoreufo@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

This is a red flag. It means he listens exclusively to Nickelback and Creed.

[–] arin@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Basically why they are single, you must be desperate lmfao

[–] bquintb@midwest.social 1 points 2 years ago

You don't want to date that guy, let the process work.

[–] scarabic@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

He's thinking "what does music have to do with me getting sex as quickly s possible?"

If it is any consolation for them, they definitely learned everything they needed to know.

[–] rob_t_firefly@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Something I was dearly hoping wouldn't find its way over here from Reddit: screenshots of posts which erase the posters' identity for no good reason.

Giving proper credit for content is cool, kids.

[–] ZombieZookeeper@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

How do you read light yellow text on darker yellow background?
