My teachers do the same, if not worse I hate it.
I just got back from a test, so I am supposed to be here :challenging expression:

There are times when you will miss what you never had. I wonder how you will find what you so desperately need.

Yeah, I hate it when people correct me. They can point it out and laugh a little, but they have to move on with the conversation quickly, or else I will think they're nitpicking and interrupting the conversation.

I think that creeper was especially horrible, because he interrupted the conversation to quiz me on these three words in a US oath that originally came from a French oath. I think it was liberty, fertility and something else. I felt like he was trying to teach me as if I was a baby or something, especially since he was 43 years older than me. I don't like it when I feel like the baby getting robbed out of the cradle.

Annoying part: When I didn't know the three words, he told them to me and made me repeat him.
Extra annoying part: When I didn't include his fake French accent, he made me repeat him again with the accent.

A guy here.

Well, I'm bisexual and I've been with both men and women and what I like is very different for different genders.

When it comes to girls I like it when they're kind of touchy, but not too much. Touching my leg or neck is a turn on. Touching my ass or crotch is a big no. Confidence is a must. I don't like when girls are drunk and starts rubbing up on me and stuff. Just no. I'm not gonna do anything with someone who is shitfaced.

For guys; Don't grab my wrist. Some guys have done that when I've turned away while they were trying to get my attention and it's not hot. I'm a small guy and if someone bigger than me is grabbing my wrist or otherwise physically restraining me it feels more like they're trying to scare me than flirt. As a general rule I'd say that guys should not get physical until they're sure the other person wants it. It can easily end up being more scary than hot when someone much bigger than you is suddenly grabbing you and touching you without consent.

OMG... 43 years older than you?! He does sound really horrible; I probably would have gotten fed up with him after repeating those words and told him to stick it .

I'm nowhere near as bad as that guy; I don't start quizzing people in the middle of a conversation; I do correct people, but most of the time only when they make the same type of mistake over and over again, and I just can't take it anymore.

But I have to be honest; I am the kind of person who would have corrected his fake French accent, but that's because this guy was talking like we're all stupid or something; I love giving a guy like that a taste of his own medicine .

By the way, did he say "liberté" and "fertilité", or "liberty" and "fertility" with some sort of attempted French pronunciation?

to hang out the old-man-sign:
the words you're talking about are probably liberté,egalité,fraternité(liberty,equality,br otherhood).....fertilité isn't included.
that's the motto of the french revolution by the way

as you can see I also tend to correct people,though I try to suppress it when possible.the funny part is that even around 2500 years ago the ancient greeks were taught not to correct other peoples grammar(if you want to get on their good side? I guess)

If you often notice when someone you date is making grave mistakes and it really annoys you,maybe you are just not made for each other.there's no point in stressing yourself to put up with someone who's annoying you,since the main point should be to enjoy each others presence.

Yeah, he's even older than my dad. Unfortunately, I was so creeped out by that guy, I froze and actually talked to him for an hour and a half.
Oh okay, you seem like one of those people who aren't that bad. Correcting is only annoying when someone makes the mistake once.


Actually, I think he did say "liberté" and "fertilité," but I assumed it was fake because he seemed so dead set on getting me into his apartment.


Yeah, those are the words! Haha, I accidentally remembered fraternity as fertility, which made my memory a little creepier. Although, the whole experience was pretty damn bad, so switching that one word is actually the least creepy thing out of that ordeal. Man, I need to brush up on my history.
Huh, that guy didn't pronounce the "g" in egalité. He made it sound like the American pronunciation, but with the accent at the end. Either he dumbed it down for me (which is insulting) or he really was faking the French accent.

I have to say this, though. If I ever meet someone who pronounces "cataclysm" like this girl, I'm going to yell at that person. I usually don't correct people, but that video made me want to punch someone in the throat.

Guy here~~ (yes because Im so manly I dont need to act like it at all)
Im pretty good at this... the only problem I have is that once I get the girl to be interested in me I loose interest in the girl haha... I know I fail...

The trick (not really a trick) I use is that I "feel" the flow of the conversation and I try to control it witout her realising it. For example, you have to make it seems like she starts the topics, but its really you who make her speak. Also always talk to her while looking at her in the eyes and sometimes look bored but not too much, itll make her actually try to get your attention.

I know all I said might be a bit weird and all (and sorry for my english im french ) and it might be hard to do at first, but when you understand it it'll come naturally.

@ powie_yowie

I always say that if the guy was sexually mature by the time the girl was born, it's sick (there're plenty of people who don't stick to that rule, but for a really old guy to be with a young girl to make any sort of sense, he better be filthy rich; at least that would rationalise it a bit, it's still sick in my mind, but whatever).

I'm Dutch, so I don't know the first thing about the American oath, and I even though I study English now, I took the science course in high school.
There's a better chance that I'll be able to explain the basics of the dopplereffect to you, than tell when the French revolution took place.

@ jelzin89

In ancient Greece frienship was mainly based on mutual benefit and much less on whether you actually like each other, if the friendship is no longer beneficial to both parties, the one who no longer benefits will simply walk away.

By the way, homosexuality was not a big deal in ancient Greece (our current society can still learn from them); and it shouldn't be such a big deal, homosexuals are just normal people, and it's not like they can help it (if you want to ostracise people, do it pedophiles, those are much worse).

Haha, that quote is hilarious. It reminds when Donald Trump was getting remarried to a woman twenty three years his junior. My favorite comedian joked, "Donald Trump just remarried. In other news, Trump took the chance to announce that his fifth wife was just born." I actually don't mind if older couples have an age gap. I feel that even a fifteen year age gap won't be very noticeable once you reach a certain age. An age gap over twenty years is really pushing it though, and forty three is just plain weird. I personally like guys that are the same age as me, but a couple years older isn't too bad. Also, I found out the hard way that age doesn't not mean refinement. For a sixty two year old, he was really creepy.

I took US history in high school, but I forgot everything already. Personally, I feel like it's a waste forget all that knowledge.

If I remember correctly that was one of aristotles' definitions for friendship,but I'm not really sure.
He had many weird thoughts from today's point of view and it isn't said that your quote was the popular opinion.
