I found this on their site:

How much does it cost?

applies an 8% commission to the amounts paid out, and that's it.

I personally hate to stay in a normal hotel. I like to have a kitchen to cook my own meals with fresh produce. Now, in some countries, I do often eat out because they have delicious food, like Spain, France, Italy, Greece… I also don’t like in the hotels that it is loud! Either from people talking loud on the corridor, cleaning ladies or gentlemen shouting at each other at 7 am, or the damn air conditioning systems they have. You can also can’t make the room completely dark, as I like it. We sometimes find an aparthotel, which is fine.

I do agree that AirBnb sucks because they make cities more expensive for the locals, but we generally do not go to the big cities, we rather stay in the countryside and make a day trip if we want to see a big city. I think a good option is how they do it in France with their small gîtes, where they rent a mini apartment in their courtyard. I stayed in several like these and it was lovely. And the owner did not bother us. They make it a bit private. I this is a good option that would not affect the housing market, since they would probably not rent it long term, having it so close to their home.

Whatever I find on Radio Garden app.

Although I love Chinese food and would love to visit some of their fabulous nature spots, this is the reason I never would: their regime. And I am sure they have lovely people, I even have some lovely Chinese colleagues. It’s a shame they have to live under authoritarian regime that is fooling them with a capitalist face.

The same goes to US. I will never visit the country while it is under an authoritarian regime, as they currently are.

I know that in some cultures, life is not valued as much as it is in mine, and they can turn a blind eye to inhuman conditions some are forced into, but I choose to boycott those regimes as much as I possibly can. Hopefully more will do so with time.

Sounds very menacing

Can you cover it with makeup? Heavy makeup.

I am glad it is not the smell :) As I said, maybe you are too intense for the general public. That is a matter of the society you are living in. Every society has different personal space areas. For example there is a huge difference between the personal space of a German and a Spaniard. One has to observe these things and try to adapt to them if acceptance is the priority. Try analysing how the people around you interact and compare it with how you do. You can also try to let new people come to you and just be smiling( but not looking intensely to them) and show you are open to conversation.

Regarding the dating apps, that is a different monster. I would not put so much thought into it. I am a very social person and easily make friends, but on dating apps I mostly found creeps and the dynamic was always strange and a lot of ghosting happened. I don’t know how it is nowadays, but I am sure it did not improve.

Try to find a club based on your hobbies. Maybe you like to hike, find a hiking club or group. Or maybe you are a gamer, go to gamer shops and have some interaction there. You will eventually find your tribe. Sometimes we are just too different from the ones in our immediate circle, and people don’t want different. Good luck and much happiness! You will figure it out and you will find your people.

A few times in winter. Love to sit outside when it is cold in warm bubbly water. And then some wet sauna and then a cold shower and repeat.

I don’t know you, so I don’t know why people might avoid you, but I was thinking of something slightly related while on the train yesterday. I have a very strong sense of smell, so bad odours are very off putting for me, even mine when I sweat, or fry something…stuff like that. So yesterday I was sitting in the train, and someone came in at some point and sat right behind me. I did not see that person, but I smelled him!!! It was stinking of cigarettes as if he was an ashtray. I had to move, because it was making me want to throw up. I al not exaggerating.

But I do know, not everyone has this sense of smell, some might be oblivious of their own smell. I had a colleague in high school that was extremely stinky. He was not a bad guy I guess, but I did not talk too often with him because I was avoiding coming too close because of the smell.

So I was thinking yesterday, wouldn’t it be helpful to have some sort of independent person give an honest and not mean opinion, on what is “wrong” with us in terms of what is off putting to the others. Some people are I am sire genuinely good people, but maybe they have an odour problem that they don’t know about, and maybe can be fixed. Or maybe they are trying to much and too fast to be a friend for someone and the others feel like their space is invaded too quickly. Not everyone has skills to read non verbal messages.

But how do you give feedback to the people that are off putting for you if they don’t ask for that feedback? It would be rude and probably poorly received. I am a quite direct person, and even I would not tell people they literally stink, because it might me it is just an I problem.

Do you have close friends or family that you could ask for kind advice? Or maybe try a neutral person, like a psychologist. Although that one would not see you in your interactions. Maybe you could analyse and record in your memory details of the interactions and have someone review those details. As I said, could even be something like you are too fast in getting close or person to the others, and they have another pace.

Yeah, people are ignorant, that’s what it is. And they like to lie to themselves. I don’t like war, I don’t like conflict, even in my personal life, I rather live in peace and quiet. But step over my boundaries and you will be sorry. And second time you will probably avoid that.

I lean more to the left, generally, but I think nowadays, the left takes things to the extreme. It is one thing to purposely attack someone, it is another to not be able to defend yourself against attacks of any kind. When those people are against spending on defence and arms, they are just ignorant. Why do you think police exist? Because some people just don’t have the morality to abide by the rules we all set.

Do your work as a politician to ensure domestic safety and that there is no corruption in government to use those weapons for personal gains. Then the far right will not be so effective with their propaganda. They feed on fear and discontent. Make your citizens feel safe and have decent lives, and they will vote you.
