Is it from Japan? They love weird packaging. Anyway the box looks simple enough, just stab it with an awl punch. A screwdriver would probably work fine too, or probably just a sharp knife.

Rivalarrival ,

The last four songs I’ve listened to on YouTube are three pirate shanties and “We Know The Way” from the Moana soundtrack. I’m not answering this question either. :)

Smart move. Wouldn’t want to intimidate anyone with your superior taste in music

OhTheMoose ,

Honestly though that’s the exact kind of thing I would want to know- the real you, not the you that tell me you are.

Poob ,

Fuck that, “We know the way” slaps

If you want foxes, grow clover.

Clover means lots of bunnies, and bunnies mean foxes show up.

Every other spring I have 2-3 kits running around my side yard.

music compatibility is a big thing, despitewhat anyone says. it carries over to so many other things about a person and how they perceive their world and others. I would have thanked them for showing that they have no intention of participating in a relationship and blocked them.

Tumblr taught me a fun word for this. What we have here is the cat version of Moon Moon the Werewolf.

Wrong community, that is way more than mildly interesting

Bautznersenf , to mildlyinfuriating in Online dating

Ah, so people are still trying online dating. Curious.

iAmTheTot ,
@iAmTheTot@kbin.social avatar

Met my wife online, though not on a dating app. It's not all hopeless!

SomeoneElse ,

Good for you! I wish you both happiness.

SomeoneElse ,

Online dating is very much the norm. I have no idea how I’d meet a new partner without it (if I was in the market for one).

Bautznersenf ,

I’d rather stay single than go into that online game again. It’s become too stupid for me. 10 years ago was probably the sweet spot.

SomeoneElse ,

As I sit here happy and secure in my own relationship, I’m inclined to say I’d rather be single than online date. But if I actually found myself single before I’m even 40 I suspect I’d change my mind eventually - that’s a lot of life left to go through alone. And the only way I’d be likely to meet someone would be online, so needs must.

Bautznersenf ,

I am single before 40 and I’m done. If someone falls in my lap I’m not going to complain, but other than that it’s just gonna be me, myself, and I fighting the good fight of life to the death.

Granted this was 6 years ago, but I met my now fiancée on bumble. It might be worse now, not sure

SomeoneElse ,

Congratulations on your engagement!

bighi ,

It’s the best way to find a partner.

And it’s basically the norm, like someone said. Been like that for many years.

terminhell , to mildlyinfuriating in Online dating

To play the devils advocate here, maybe music man has gotten ridiculed before with this question on his music preference. When I’m driving by myself, I’ll fire up youtube and listen to all sorts of random stuff. But I’d never subject my wife to it as I know we don’t share interest in some things.

corm ,
@corm@kbin.social avatar

But I bet she shares hers. Speaking from current experience

Fiivemacs ,

But how did you find out you have different tastes without first ever sharing your music tastes

terminhell ,

For sure, dude could have just been more blunt right away about not wanting to share that info (still strange, or maybe just embarrased?). I’ve never used a dating app, so IDK.

HikingVet ,

Well, as a metalhead, I’ve gotten a lot of negative feedback about my music choices.

When I was using dating apps I would make it clear what type of music I listened to in my profile (metal, punk, classical, folk are my mains).

Honestly it solved a lot of issues.

CarbonatedPastaSauce ,

She probably said to him, “your music sucks, can I put mine on?”.

TheEighthDoctor ,

Just lie then, what’s the point of acting like this

terminhell ,

I don’t have an answer for that. I’m not saying he handled it right, just trying to come up with some sort of mindset he may have had to respond like this at all.

sachasage ,

I think he was just trying to be coy

Cr4yfish ,
@Cr4yfish@lemmy.world avatar

I’d think it would feel bad having to lie about the music you listen to. Maybe music man is already past denial and in acceptance, just not telling anyone.

But perhaps they’re just a douche.

DreamerofDays ,

Just lie then

Not an ideal in forming relationships. Honestly, as much of a train wreck as his response was, at least it gave some useful information to the person he would potentially be dating.

DarkKnight_ ,

Even if that’s the reason, still, come on

driving_crooner ,
@driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br avatar

People don’t respect the Colgate Comedy Hour anymore, this is why we don’t have genius like Paul Bufano or Roy Donkins anymore. Her music collection must be all meat and potatoes.

DreamerofDays ,

You’ve presumably had conversations with your wife, though, where you shared, and she wasn’t into it. I dunno, at the least you were, perhaps, honest about not wanting to (or not being comfortable with) sharing.

Furthermore, it’s a song and she asked. No one is being subjected to anything. No one has to listen to the song named, or, if they do, even finish the song.

TheEternalBambzip ,
@TheEternalBambzip@lemmy.zip avatar

So, if your wife asked as to whatever song your listening to is, you would react this way?

567PrimeMover ,
@567PrimeMover@kbin.social avatar

I've had a girl straight up say to me in my car, "your music sucks, can I put mine on?" And I still wouldn't act this way

ivanafterall ,
@ivanafterall@kbin.social avatar

I'm not saying it's right, but I'd contemplate pushing someone out of the car at that point. Shots fired, Jesus.

567PrimeMover ,
@567PrimeMover@kbin.social avatar

Unfortunately I was young, dumb and unlucky in love, so I put up with that BS for way too long. My advice to anyone in that position is definitely don't put up with it because you're worth more than the love these kinds of people give. A healthy relationship is built on mutual love and respect. You need to give it, but you also deserve it in return.

BigPapaE ,

What were you listening to?

bighi ,

That’s the perfect moment to know if someone will ridicule you for your music choices. If it happens, you stop the conversation right there and save yourself the trouble of a awful first date.

Well, even saying that you can’t remember the song because you snorted cocaine out of your adult diaper is better than being a jerk.

Cannacheques ,

I would share my music taste more openly if the opportunity arose, but more often than not, I’m either out of data or the song on YouTube has gone (!)

Marxine ,
@Marxine@lemmy.world avatar

My musical taste is cringe and my spouse has known it since we started dating years ago. Never felt the need to hide it from them. Good partners can respect each other’s preferences, so there’s zero need to hide what you enjoy.

@GustavoM@lemmy.world avatar

If someone does not take the least amount of effort to answer a simple question like that one … then he doesn’t care about you in the slightest.

“But its a generic question!”

Two words: common courtesy.

CarbonatedPastaSauce ,

People (guys usually) also answer like this when they are trying to tell you exactly what you want to hear so that you’ll sleep with them. They feel like if they give any wrong answer early on, they’ve lost their chance. It’s a very manipulative mindset. He was like a deer in the headlights, not knowing if any answer he gave would be the right answer since he doesn’t know her at all yet. So he stalls, hoping she’ll drop it.

Or he might just be an idiot.

Either way, drop them and move on to somebody who will be real with you.

GustavoM ,
@GustavoM@lemmy.world avatar

In other words, playing games, i.e trying to “tick her funne bone” so he gets someone else to play instead of himself. But what most of those guys fail to acknowledge is that “tickling her funne bone” takes time – it’s not a “free pussy pass” of any sort that you “say it”, and she goes “WHOOAAA fuck me mister! Fuck me right NOW!”. That is not “acting tough” or smart, but acting like a douche.

Aesthesiaphilia ,

They feel like if they give any wrong answer early on, they’ve lost their chance.

To be fair, that's usually correct. Women have their pick of men, generally. If a guy answers a band she doesn't like, most likely she'll move on.

So guys lie and tell her everything she wants to hear. And then once they get their foot in the door, they can start telling the truth.

This guy handled it very badly but I can see why he didn't want to answer.

FlihpFlorp ,

Yeah I may not be a relationship expert but if I have to lie for an ice breaker not even a deep question just an ice breaker I don’t think that relation will work

AFKBRBChocolate ,

Yeah, that was my thought as well. This is the type of person who is only going to say something of they think it will impress you. The second possibility is that they will share nothing of themselves, period. In either case, they don’t seem like good relationship material.

7ColorKaleidoscope ,

What he gave was the wrong answer IMO.

Cannacheques ,

Nah it’s one of those things where some guys just prefer to talk about what they think matters to everyone, their job or financial conditions, music or other personal stuff might just be an extra on their minds

Poob ,

So an idiot.

If someone asks you about your taste in music, then clearly music matters to them.
