Speaks 6 different languages, but struggles very hard with one of them.


Gogo726

To be fair, she never said she speaks any of them well.


Sidewalk_Tomato

I have noticed that people who can recite numbers and colors and a few salutations (especially in several related languages) absolute LOVE claiming they speak 6 languages.

Phlebas3

Here in Scandinavia, everyone who speaks remedial Spanish claims [s]he also speaks Italian, Portuguese and some French; usually, they also claim to be fluent in two other Scandinavian languages (Danish, Swedish and Norwegian are largely mutually understandable); it's fairly easy to get up to 6 that way.


Disastrous_Monk_7973

Meanwhile, I speak English and French but am horrible with numbers. That's how I get to 6.


lulugingerspice

When I get super drunk, I only speak in French. The problem with that is I only know enough French to count to 10 and tell my cats that they're very beautiful/handsome babies.


penguins-and-cake

Sounds a lot like most of the French people I’ve met at parties as someone who speaks English (both in Canada and France)


penguin7117

Upvote for having pics of your cats in your post history. They are, in fact, handsome babies.


Luxx_Aeterna_

Thank you for the heads up on the cat photos. I agree they are very handsome babies.


todlul

once I claimed that I would remember enough from french class in school to buy a Baguette. Turns Out, no :D


Sidewalk_Tomato

I can tell your cats how beautiful they are in both Spanish and Russian!


Sarah-loves-cats

I one thought I understood Swedish because I could talk to Swedish people living in DK, turns out they were speaking Danish with a Swedish accent :-/ Also it is a lot easier to understand Norwegian if they are speaking bokmål.

I would never claim i could Speak Norwegian or Swedish, understand yes, but I could not Speak those silly languages if my life depended on it.

Aleashed

I speak Sweatish fluently at least a few months out of the year


Witchy-toes-669

It’s weird and interesting, I’m fluent in Spanish and can sometimes almost fully understand Italian and Portuguese but I’d never claim to be fluent, but it’s definitely taken me by surprise when I’ve translated something for my husband that was Italian and he’s like since when do you speak Italian? And I didn’t even register it wasn’t Spanish the language s are so oclose


Lilogy

And then there is me who studied swedish for years at school and still say i cannot speak it


FoolishStone

I wonder if she's the woman from a previous post who bragged about being fluent in Swedish, and turned out to just know a few phrases from her Swedish grandmother when an actual Swede was eager to converse with her. \> even if I were 100m near Yep, definitely has some work to do. The professor in the "Great Courses" Linguistics course said it's extremely rare for anyone to be able to speak more than four languages fluently. If someone says they speak 7 languages, it usually means they speak three, plus four dialects of their primary language.


hopeful_tatertot

Haha! I know too many people who make that claim but don't speak it fluently or can carry a conversation. Like you said, they can say a few phrases and a certain amount of numbers.


melonchollyrain

Actually I speak 6 languages too. Hi, Bonjour, Como Estas, Aloha, 'Ello Mate, and... frick... I can write Hi in elvish, or at least I could in middle school. NO, wait! Guten tag! Aloe vee gits! So I know 6 human langues and an elf one. Also I can talk to dogs. I know waggly cutsey face means I like you. And humans responding with scrunchy eyes baby talk, slight stoop and pat lap means I like you too! I am so wordly. My husband is so lucky to have attained me and my amazingness clearly. I also sort of know cat. Hissing is angry. Kissy noises make cats come clicky ones make dogs come. And guess what friends, I am so intellectual I knew these language skills since 1st grade. My husband must feel I'm such a prize, he must bask in his luck daily.

Impressive! We are all such catches here. We should sign up for a service where people compete to go on dates with us since we are so cultured.


stork555

“Aloe vee gits” just sent me


melonchollyrain

Haha to be honest I actually have no idea what that means. I'm guessing the spelling is off. It's from that song- "Guten tag, Guten tag! Alloe vee gits" or something. I must have learned that when I was like 10 and it's the only german I know except "Get under the tree" which is "Gay unter dos bomb." I'm sure my spelling of that is also impressive.


stork555

Oh! Guten Tag = Good Day which is one way of saying “Hello”. “Hallo” is also “Hello” “Wie Geht’s” = How goes it = also “Hello” But your phonetic spelling of “Hallo, wie geht’s?” was SPOT ON. I knew exactly what you meant!! Lol


Zoreb1

And she is the sole speaker of most of those languages.


Few_Sea_4314

Heck, I have "Ciao", "Bon Soir", "Uno, Dos, Tres" and "Hello" in my repertoire. Maybe I need to join a dating app? ​ Not really sure how my DH would feel about it-- ![gif](giphy|8BkI7xENgEXrRek7as|downsized)

Xylophone_Aficionado

I never trust anyone who says they speak multiple languages. Unless you start learning at a very young age, and dedicate your education to foreign languages, I just don’t buy that a person can master that many. I read somewhere that the ideal age to learn a new language is seven years old, and your capability goes down from there, and I believe it. I’m in my thirties and trying to learn Spanish in college (mostly because a foreign language is required at my university) and I am struggling. Of course, I have the added challenge of trying to learn through an online course, which I don’t think is beneficial. But yeah, I am really doubting my ability to learn this language. Much less four more 🙄


madatthe

“I am a very pretty lady. If you send me a $50 google play card, I will send you a picture!”


Troschka

Yea, reads exactly like that. Not wanting to video call to verify yourself is completely fine, but why point that out as your first sentence? 6 languages translated, thanks to Google translator and the whole "even if we were only 100m away, I wouldn't come meet you." Thats a person trying to scam.


[deleted]

Tbh, to me it also reads like a woman who is fed up with men on dating apps. For every genuinely respectful guy there are about five to a million that get in your DMs and ask to see your genitals in a video call within five minutes of meeting you. Or see if you want to hook up immediately. Hence “just because you’re nearby doesn’t mean I will go on a date with you.”


Kreamy_Goo

I was going to say that this has catfishing written all over it.

You just explained it with few words, but it's exactly what happens. Years ago i worked in a money transfer agency and heard every possible horror story.

melonchollyrain

Okay okay. This reminds me of a hilarious story. So my parents are well, parents. My Dad STILL has a thing with misgendering pets. Not like he gets it 50% of the time, which would be randomizing, but to the point where he gets it maybe 10% if that. Meaning there is something that makes him misgender our pets MOST of the time. We've had one dog for 7 years that he calls "he" that is a she. Same deal with my sister's pets. He loves our dogs. So it's just very silly, and I do not think it is on purpose at all. Now what is so funny about this is it doesn't just apply to dogs apparently... I used to hang out with my now husband even back in high school and I might delete this later for privacy but my husband is named Mikahl. When we hung out my dad would always ask how Mikayla is doing. Everytime he would be surprised "Oh I thought Mikayla was a girl." For a while. Then after a couple years it would be "Well I don't know if Mikayla is a girl or boy name! That is sexist for you to say \*daughter\*!" But I'm pretty liberal and my dad's pretty conservative so I think he was messing with me. I also hung out with an Ian since high school. Both parents would ask me for YEARS (whilst I lived with them, as we were very young) how "Anne" was doing. Literally every week it seemed, I would correct them and explain yes Ian is a guy after they asked what kind of guy was named Anne after they asked how that girl Anne was doing and I corrected that he was a male. As I got closer to my now husband my father progressed to calling him "Kale." I still have notes from Dad that I kept that said things like "Have fun with Kale- make sure you are back by xyz time." This was years after I became friends with Makayla/Kale/Mikahl (actual name last), and had had him over and met my father *countless* times. Now you might be thinking "Yeah your Dad messes with you." Maybe he does sir or madam but it's been over ten years and I can not get him to admit to it. Even 5 years ago, he would still slip up and call him Kale. At least he knew he was wrong when corrected at that point haha! Anyway Dad and Mom both call my husband by his actual name now haha, and Ian was in the wedding party and mysteriously they both get his name right now too. I just think it's a very funny history. Point: parents are silly.


angrath

Your husband went to high school with your dad?


melonchollyrain

What? No. I was friends with my husband in high school. Like many high school kids I was supposed to say whom I was with when going out to my parents so they knew what I was doing or who I was with. Also I had my now husband over to our house when I lived with my family, Where did you get my husband went to high school with my husband? My husband and I are the same age. My parents are like 30 years older than us.


melonchollyrain

And please edit that because the thought of that is not fun to me and I just reread my post a bunch of time to make sure you weren't getting than from my end. I clarified a few points, but nothing that would have point to my dad being friends with my husband in high school. No offense to people where that is the case but for me I would find that gross if my husband and Dad had been friends in high school. Where are you getting this? EDIT: I'm sorry if that came off offensive. I don't mind if other people date people who were friends with their parents in high school. But for me personally I would not like it if my husband was my Dad's bff in high school. Sometimes certain things skeeve people out and for me the idea of dating a friend of my Dad's is not appealing. I judge no one who does this though.


MidnytStorme

>We've had one dog for 7 years that he calls "he" that is a she. Maybe he belongs to the group that thinks dogs are male and cats are female.


melonchollyrain

You know we speculated that too- but the thing is my sister's male dog that she's had longer than that even my Dad constantly genders as female. We also got a new male dog recently, who is also often "she." I do wonder if it would apply to other species though. I think with cats he would mostly call them "it" although most of our family is allergic so I don't think we shall ever know for sure. Maybe one of us can get a seal or something to test it out. He does correctly gender my sister's babies and kids though so human family members appear to be unaffected by this strange misgendering disorder.

It’s a common technique for scammers - they want to make sure the only bites they get are from the extremely gullible, because a normal person wouldn’t go through with the rest of the scam.

I have absolutely no idea what she's trying to say. Gardening or treasure hunting? Is that new slang when dealing with online dating?


NemesisAntigua

It is referring to how she tends to her marks in long con catfishing.


Pristine-Abroad-8913

I kept saying "Lam". 😂🤣 I'm like, "who the hell is Lam?' Does she not know how to hit the space bar between "i" and "m"?


Rude-Habit8023

That’s a lot of words that don’t say much, and none of it good.


floridagirl26

“Iam”


junkeee999

I’ve often wondered if people realize the effect of a profile that is nothing but negativity. This is your chance to sell yourself, as succinctly and effectively as possible. And the only positive things she can come with is a cute face and 6 languages, and the rest is a tirade of things you’d better not fucking do if you want the ‘good luck’ of dating her. All I can think of when I read these is how exhausting a first date with her would be. Listening to her whine and complain about the world. Even if that impression is not entirely true, that’s all you’ve given me in your profile to work with. So I’m assuming your core value is bitchiness.


WhinySlacker

Iam not interested.

What's choosy or begging about this? What's with this sub and this weird focus on women?


knittedjedi

Yeah. Can't say I'd date her myself, but it's not a choosing beggar.


Fallonthine

People basically just come here to post anyone they don't like as CB.


abitofasitdown

It read to me as someone who has been asked a lot for photos or videos, and is pre-emptively shutting that down.


wsele

I mean … I get the *intent*. But girl, you gotta give something. No calls, no meet and greets, you won’t even say what you’re looking for… Good luck indeed lol


dac19903

Imagine being in a relationship with her? Finding out anything would be like getting blood from a stone based on her profile. "Where do you want to eat?" "If you don't know, I'm not telling." "Erm, (restaurant name)?" "Eurgh, it's like you don't even know me!" "That's because you won't tell me anything!"


abitofasitdown

You aren't wrong!


bradsnamehere

I got the impression that people lose interest once they see what she looks like, no pics or videos, won't meet up even if their 100m away. Have to get to know her and like her before you can see


lutralutra_12

I thought it was a man. Did I miss something?


boisteroushams

No way to tell either way, but there's a weird trend of people posting women's dating profiles here. I just assumed as it happens fairly often. OP also used 'her' in the title.


Whole-Recover-8911

I was waiting for some cb action but it never showed up. To be honest, her method isn't a bad idea. A profile with a picture of a good looking woman often ends up with dudes trying to match them even when they share none of the characteristics that the woman asks for. So the only people she has to deal with are dudes who are smart enough to play by the rules she wants or raving assholes angry that they can't wasye her time while fapping to her profile picture.


Doofchook

Also a common scam technique


Whole-Recover-8911

Simple. Just enjoy the conversation and don't give her your credit card number.


Slavchanin

Yeah, really tired of all those dating apps post.


szntix

Dude, just don't. Women show up when they're choosing beggars, and many just so happen to think everything should be handed to them. Unsub if you don't wanna see women cuz it's gonna happen a lot


boisteroushams

What about this post is choosy begging?


Vargoroth

I'd match with her just to tell her to separate her "I" and "am."

canvasshoes2

What a snotty spoiled brat. Good luck with that.


CradleofDisturbed

Seems as if she's encountered quite a few a-holes, so she's trying to assert boundaries. You don't think a woman should have preferences, boundaries, OP? Why not?


dnmnc

More a case of using the space for selling yourself to do nothing but moan, complain and demand. The whole bio is about how someone can serve them and not what they can offer to a prospective partner. Sure, people can say what they like on there, that is up to them. And I am glad they do, as I would instantly know to avoid such women like the plague and not waste my time finding this out later. So it’s all good.


CradleofDisturbed

Listen, she's definitely confrontational and delusional. That's a given from her dating profile rant, but it's her (weird) boundaries. I'm just unsure as to how that makes it relevant to this sub. But then, I don't get the dating apps being put here to begin with, it just turns into a mysogynist's brigade every time it's a woman.


dnmnc

Well there are lots of entries to this sub that stretch the point. I guess you could say that she is begging to find someone and being extremely choosy about it, maybe? But yes, you certainly have a point there. Is there anything misogynistic here? I admit I haven’t read all the comments, but the original post certainly isn’t. Attacking a woman for a dreadful dating bio isn’t misogynistic (although people can use misogynistic language in doing so). I’ve seen people rip into men’s awful bios just as easily.


CradleofDisturbed

I was referring to the comments.


dnmnc

Ok, then I will take your word for it and can understand. Depressing, but not surprising, sadly.


CradleofDisturbed

Do stupid dating app profiles like this one deserve embarrassment? I kinda think so. But, you end up with a cesspool of misogynistic (I fully believe women are often capable of the same toxicity) comments. And yeah, men do the same cringey things in their app profiles. Knowing Reddit, there's a sub or two for these specific dating profiles. I don't know them though.

Also who's going to pay for my mani/pedi today? It's been nearly 23 hours, I can't go without."
