online dating

In your industry you can work anywhere and they don’t need you to be in the office in a particular place. It’s not easier for the rest of us, so I continue to disagree on the mindset part 😃

If I didn’t have a child and could work from home, I’d be gone in a second. It wouldn’t be for some guy though tbf it would be for myself.

You’re the only person I’ve ever met who has had recruiters from another country not looking for remote workers head hunting. I get head hunted all the time, but never from different countries. I don’t think it’s common in every industry, only some. Clearly it depends on demand. For the rest of us, finding a job in another country would not be so simple. I mean I still plan on doing it once my son has finished college - but with the realisation it could take years, unless I’m willing so go more junior and dip down in salary. I wouldn’t spend years chatting to somebody in the hope I might own day get a job in their country. And I wouldn’t go backwards in career for any man.

I don’t think anyone said that people don’t do that. I don’t think so anyway, it doesn’t sound like something I would say :)

I just said I wouldn’t. And I said it would be difficult for a lot of people who don’t work remotely or haven’t built up their career.

I stand corrected that there isn’t high demand from other countries - clearly myself and everybody I know are just out liers in not being approached for those non remote opportunities, so perhaps a lot of people are and I just haven’t heard of it. What I will say is that there are a cohort (because myself and everybody I know are in it) or people for who it would not be easy to just get a similar level job in tiger country of choosing. But fair that there are plenty who can.

I don’t believe it yet again another one who seemed perfectly normal has started going on about great resets 😂 most ladies complain about the lads looking for the ride but I seem to be attracting the conspiracy theorists. I dye my hair bright colors maybe that’s it 😂

Yes and I still think that is the case. It doesn’t follow that I mean it would not be possible for those who have :)

And very true that are not, though I do know a wide range of people. I have no issue with those who move abroad to a relationship - I think once you love somebody who cares where you live. All those I know who have done that met while both living in the same country but of course there are plenty who meet online and then move - it would never be for me because I don’t consider chatting virtually a relationship- for me. I understand for others it’s different and they do consider it just as real when it’s not in person and I fully accept and support that.

I’ve gotten smarter before they would ease there way in with a few random comments. This one literally came out of no where just chit chatting about online shopping I said I’m not big into online shopping then bang a flipping essay with caps and exclamation marks the whole worksv😂 I’ve had an education from some of them I used to be happy in ignorance not knowing much about joe Rogan and 15 minute cities 😂. A word of warning if they state on thete profile unvaccinated it means they have views on it and love to talk about those views

But you've said two conflicting things there: 1. that it's easier for junior people and 2. that it's harder for those who haven't built up their careers. Regardless, that's not really my point at all.

I think you're thinking of it as a virtual relationship where they haven't met? I wouldn't move for someone I hadn't met. In the instances I know of, they had a relationship for 1 year and 3 years beforehand, with visits throughout.

I mean, you obviously can't know as wide a range of people as you think, which also applies to me given the conversation we're having. It's all relative.

It was just one guy I told lol. And it was only because he mentioned blue hair colour specifically in relation to something, can’t remember what but I told him to go for it 😅

I didn’t realize that at the start I thought it was just a thing to put dish but I have learned unfortunately

I have a guy friend who is obsessed with blue hair... he's 48 and currently in a sort of situationship but I don't see that working out tbh. Man I'd love to set this up.😅

Do it!!! 😃

I get head hunted for rules in other countries, but I have worked in several countries and have some languages listed in the skill set.

I was recently contacted about a “fantastic” customer service role, as well as for one in the public school sector. I can’t decide which one was more bizarre. It’s clearly low quality and commission based recruiters just filtering for languages and mass sending crappy job specs.

I have relocated to different countries and never found it challenging but I tend to go for cities anyway and I have no brats or family to tie me down.

At the risk of sounding like a boomer, what’s situationship?

An actual pensioner just stopped me in the street to try chat me up - DEAD 😂. Ye lads have no excuse now.

It'd be a good idea instead of using dating apps as @[Deleted User] mentioned some people might misinterpret it for something else, plus it clogs up what dating apps are meant to be used for. I'm sick of seeing people using it to improve their "English" for instance.
