| I think discussing potential gender differences when it comes to dating should be avoided because on WP it always leads to sexist posts that dismiss the struggles of other people who are experiencing the same thing. It just doesn’t need to be about gender. People can talk about their problems while... |

| I've been asked about statistics and I've been warned I will be thrown off this forum. The world's largest survey of men and women evert undertaken was by Pew Research who in 2020 surveyed single American men and women https://www.pewresearch.org/social-trends/2020/08/20/a-profile-of-single-america... |

| It's somewhat telling, the way that MEN hormones are just supposed to be tolerated and give a pass, but WOMEN hormones are to be chastised, lamented, ridiculed, criticized, taken personally, and something should be done about it cos it's all their fault. It's also revealing the way the room is stil... |

| Men aren't from Mars; women aren't from Venus. We are people who aren't really that different from each other. Being lonely is difficult - I know something about that, but we can't blame other people for it. We can rant and complain about our loneliness in The Haven. However, it crosses a line when... |

| I don't understand the situation. If someone or anyone is being attacked, wouldn't the post be deleted if the post is reported? That's what I should've done from the beginning, is what I know now that I look back to it. But I'm not good with technology and back then I didn't know what the report bu... |

| Haven't posted in years, despite being tempted a few times. I feel like it's just not a safe thing to do for a woman. The L&D -section just isn't safe. I've taken the option of not using it at all because it was the easiest, but really, telling people not to use L&D if they don't like being... |

Turns out motorically clumsy me can eat with chopsticks, but my usually talented older sister can't.
...Yeah, I'm beig petty, but it's nice to be better at something for once. |

| Oh yeah. I was bullied a lot in elementary school, but back then I didn't bully others, not knowingly at least. Some might've seen my blunt speech as bullying, but back then I never meant any harm with it. Junior high, on the other hand... I still got bullied, but not as much. And I bullied this one... |

| - And finally, not exactly a tip question, but how do taxes on prices work there? I mean, I heard that sometimes the tax is included in the price and sometimes not, so how does one tell the difference? Is it clearly written somewhere, or is there so specific symbol that tells if the price includes ... |

| I don't really understand all this stuff about 'service'. All I'm interested in is paying for my food & drink and then being left in peace to eat it. I don't want any interaction with the staff in the restaurant or bar beyond that. Thank goodness I only eat at McDonald's these days. Hope they n... |

| If you stop at a food stall/food truck (counter service)-Usually just a couple dollars - no matter the amount of the food bill. I thought those wouldn't need to be tipped at all, or that I could just leave the change if it was a few pennies or something. Well, good to know. I have had servers at hi... |

| So, I'm going for a vacation to NYC next Sunday, and since we don't really have a tipping culture where I'm from, some things about it confuse me: - How many percents of the bill does a tip have to be? I used to think that 10-15 % would be a good tip, it certainly has been passable in some other cou... |
