Send some here, I would gladly take it 🙂

I was discussing an interesting topic with a childhood friend of mine (the only real friend I have) the other day. He studied Physical Therapy and did a master's degree in the UK for kids with disabilities as he didn't want to become a personal trainer. He didn't actually work on his field whilst in the UK, he worked in retail. When he came back to Greece he tried to work on his field and he did for a while but he didn't like job and the money was sh*t. He was unemployed for quite a bit until there was no other solution than to find a job. He got a job in a warehouse, he got promoted to assistant store manager recently but obviously the money is still not enough. He is pretty good in a structured environment which wasn't the same with the field he studied since you need to be a self-starter and chase it alone if you want to make something out of it. Anyway, he thinks it was very bad that his parents raised him to do whatever he likes. He said his father should have told him what to study that is actually something practical and that allows you to have a decent income. The reality is, doing "what you like" is 95%+ not practical. Yes there is a small percentage of people who can pursue what they like and make money (we are talking about a normal salary not 6 figures+). Most of the people from my high school work in retail or something similar. Many of those studied at good universities but never pursued what they studied. The only person relatively successful from our class was a guy who his mother "beat him up" to study hard to become a doctor. Eventually he became a doctor (like he had an option lol). I see young guys and gals about 20-23 in the dance school and they don't want to pursue what they studied. They want to figure out what they like first. Sometimes I chuckle nowadays. As a person who would have preferred not to study at the university as it wasn't for me and would have liked to do something on my own, I can see both sides. I tried to do my own thing with side hustles and so far nothing. With the exception of my Youtube channel everything else didn't work. I have also changed 7 companies and I have been in the workforce 8 years until I found something I liked and also deserved given my qualifications. Still, I don't do what I like. It's very difficult to do something you like and make a living if this something is not one of the most foolproof choices. Even as an engineer it took me many years to earn a good salary. Imagine something else. Thing is, unless someone shows you the way and you have to figure it out alone, it's extremely difficult. 99% of the cases this someone is your parents. Now the problem is, your parents know only up to the level they have reached themselves. My father is an engineer, my mother was an officer in the Navy so they pushed me each to his/her domain. It was either engineer or the Navy for me and my brother. It was not that we couldn't pick something else but what the heck do you know at 16-17 when you were raised in a protected environment. You know less than nothing. What decisions can you make when you know less than nothing? Every decision would be like spinning the roulette wheel. At 32 I can say I have figured it out to a good extend (this process would never stop obviously) but I have tried and experienced so many different things which came with a price. It's true, it's about working smart not hard. Working smart includes so many intangible skills which is no small feat to reach that level to begin with. My father instilled in me the typical "if you work hard you will get ahead in life". I mean, now, I think if someone says something like this either he wants you to suffer for no reason or he is plain stupid. Sometimes I want to go to the local school, barge in the classroom and tell the kids to never listen to their teachers or parents because they know sh*t most of them. Back to my friend, he was raised to do whatever he likes, it didn't go very well. I was raised with a father who wanted me to become an engineer and work in the corporate world which I hate, it didn't go that well either. Apparently, it also depends on the personalities, I might have done better with his parents and he might have done better with my parents. Hmm, I guess people are never happy either way lol

Well, if you can have 12 relationships a year maybe it's not that bad! Happy life!

Why the heck did they hire her? Jeez...

This! It was so rude, especially since you are training her. Like what the heck......Report it.

Nope!

I believe most men would like to be objectified haha. I would certainly like to be treated like a piece of meat and get paid about it. What's better than twerking your hairy peachy heinie and seeing your bank account balance increase at the same time hahahaha. Ah, one can only dream!

The thing is, why there are no simp damsels to throw money on us haha Life is unfair.

The holy water!!!

Thanks 🙂 No it's my parents house, they hired an architect, designed it and built it from scratch when I was a teenager. It took about 7 years lol It's a beautiful big house but it's an hour outside of Athens, not close to amenities so not for me. I grew up in an apartment, the one I am living right now. Yes tall ceilings are very important. Same square feet, tall ceiling vs short ceiling -> completely different. In the picture it's the basement where the ceiling is 10 foot exactly (good guess 🙂 ). The ceilings in the rest of the floors are about 30cm shorter. Only 30cm and it's a huge difference. Yes I remember, yours have very tall ceilings too. 10 foot or more? Yes I was referring to the photo you have with the island where there is a cabinet behind🙂 I prefer islands myself instead of worktop space around of the walls. It's more stylish. Plus, it's cool when you bring guests and you can drink your cocktails there!!!I love islands! You know you have exquisite taste and a beautiful house! Don't be modest hahahaha 🙂 Now that's new to me. I didn't know someone can be picky with taps lol I don't know any tap brands but if you like them they must be the best!

Yes me neither, I smile and laugh a lot in real life but when I take a picture of myself I never smile. Because I don't see a reason to smile that particular moment and I feel silly smiling for no reason haha.

@mylolita I think you have a similar piece of wooden furniture/cabinet/whatever this is called in your kitchen? I remember from your last photos you posted something similar. I know you like virtual tours of houses, I just made the house a bit too messy for that haha.

What clothing choices say about you? https://www.psychologistworld.com/body-language/psychology-of-clothing-dating-dress "Firstly, let's consider the idea of how we seek to 'impress' potential partners. A study by Joseph Benz at the University of Nebraska surveyed more than 90 men and women with regards to the way in which they deceive potential partners whilst on dates. The researchers found that both genders tend to use deception when dating but for different purposes. Males were found to try to impress their dates by emphasizing the security that they could offer the partner - for example, by exaggerating their financial position or by trying to demonstrate a preparedness to commit. Women, however, were deceptive with regards to their body image, exaggerating physical features in an effort to appear more attractive to their date" Certainly I was not a participant in this survey because I do none of those hahaha. How they draw conclusions on this studies only God knows hahaha. It's an interesting topic. For me I know what works and what does not when it comes to clothes. I know that I look great on suits for instance but it's too much. I remember I used to wear some nice fancy wall street type shirts and trousers when I worked in London and I came across like I was a CEO of a global corporation which was quite the opposite as I made basic salary hahaha. You really need to have some money even if you want to pretend you have money hahaha, I was getting by with noodles those days lol. It's funny because in some big corporations you see people dressed so formally and exquisite whilst they make sh*tty money but when you see them in the street you might think they are rich lol. For me how it works is the more money I make the simpler my clothes get. Nowadays, my best outfit is a pair of jeans and a nice simple shirt. And this is only for dates. 90% of the time is either jeans and T-shirts or joggers and T-shirts. I look good in gym clothes. Well, I exercise a lot so it makes sense I wear gym clothes most of the time. Women who like guys who dress well all the time wouldn't be for me. I am far too plain. There are a few occasions where I encountered acquaintances (both men and women) where I was with joggers at a cafeteria or something and I could see how they looked at me hahahahahahahaha. Or with corporate guys who looked me with contempt (while they didn't know I make more than them hehe). Life is a b*tch though, I have also encountered the same people at the beach, guess who was laughing then hehehehehe. I care about what really matters, how you look without clothes, that's what matters. I always laugh when I meet these people at the beach, especially the guys who have never exercised seriously in their lives and look like hairy pasta. Their expression is money! Men need to look presentable on the first dates otherwise all the chicks would leave lol. It's more about showing that you cared enough to make some effort. Dressing up for a date for men it's work believe me. Although I have never been on a date where the woman was not dolled up I think it wouldn't be a turn off for me (given she didn't look like a homeless of course or smelled bad etc etc). Hygiene is a huge turn off, regarding clothing choices I really don't care. I mean if a woman has nice butt for example, joggers are sexier than jeans in my opinion. I guess bottom line for me is just exercise to look good for real hahaha

Although this is true, just to be clear, it does not reflect MODERN Greek men hahahahaha. People might get the wrong idea.
