Hi everyone,

​I'm posting here because I have strong doubts about a recent interaction and would like your feedback or experiences.

​I met a woman on Personality Database (PDB), but the whole setup has been very strange from the start:

​The setup: She claims she's on PDB to help a friend find a guy (so she's not the person directly on the profile).

​The background: She says she's of Asian descent, lives in Rotterdam, and comes across as quite superficial.

​The contact info: We moved to WhatsApp, but she's using a WhatsApp Business account with a +44 (UK) number, despite claiming to live in the Netherlands.

​The behavior: She's fairly distant in her messages, yet constantly brings up her business and investments. At the same time, she keeps repeating that she wants a "serious relationship."

​The video call: Unusually for this kind of interaction, she's insisting on doing a video call.

​I'm really suspicious and worried this might be a trap (blackmail or a crypto/financial scam). As a precaution, I gave her a fake number.

​Does this pattern sound familiar to anyone? Have you ever run into a profile like this?

​Thanks for your help!

​Bonjour à tous,

​Je me permets de poster ici car j'ai un très gros doute sur une rencontre récente et j'aimerais avoir vos retours d'expérience ou vos avis.

​J'ai matché avec une femme sur une application de rencontre, mais dès le début, la dynamique est très étrange :

​Le profil : Elle prétend qu'elle est sur l'application pour aider une amie à trouver un homme (ce n'est donc pas la personne des photos directement).

​Le profil type : Elle dit être d'origine asiatique, vivre à Rotterdam, et a un côté très superficiel.

​Le contact : On est passés sur WhatsApp, mais elle a un numéro professionnel en +44 (Royaume-Uni) alors qu'elle dit vivre aux Pays-Bas.

​Le comportement : Elle est assez distante dans ses messages, mais amène très rapidement le sujet de ses business / investissements. En parallèle, elle affirme chercher une « relation sérieuse ».

​La visio : De manière assez inhabituelle pour ce genre de prise de contact, elle insiste pour faire un appel vidéo.

​J'ai des doutes énormes et peur d'un piège (chantage, arnaque financière/cryptomonnaies). Par précaution, je lui ai donné un faux numéro.

​Est-ce que ce schéma vous parle ? Avez-vous déjà croisé ce genre de profil ?

​Merci pour vos lumières !

Hi guys, I’d like to ask for your help. I’m looking to buy a tablet mainly for watching movies and having a smooth experience overall. I’d really like a beautiful screen and to be impressed by the image quality.

I’ve done some research and found these models:

- Xiaomi Pad 7 / Pad 8

- Lenovo IdeaPad Plus

- Honor MagicPad 2

- Samsung Tab S10 FE

Which ones would you recommend?

My budget is €300 maximum, and I’ve found them around these prices on Vinted or locally.

Thanks!

Bonjour à toutes et à tous chers lyonnais.

Je viens vous solliciter pour vous demander si quelqu'un connaîtrait un endroit où ils disposent d'un impédancemètre en libre service pour avoir certaines métriques comme le taux de masse grasse etc.

Je sais qu'à l'appart fitness à la tête d'or ils en proposent mais il faut payer un abonnement à +15€/mois en plus.

Si vous connaîtriez par hasard des pharmacies, des salles de sport qui pourrait en proposer gratuitement.

Merci d'avance !

Hello,

I'm opening up today. I used to think this wasn't a problem, but now I think it is.

I think I spend a lot of time on my phone, anonymously browsing several websites (I have two phones), and talking to women to try and pique their curiosity, as if it's vital for me to have their attention and feel loved, to receive compliments, and the ultimate goal is to get pictures of them. I don't know if other people are in the same situation as me.

Also, I used to watch a lot of porn, but I've stopped. I can abstain for a few months. I'm also attracted to short videos on Twitter. I need to be constantly stimulated, a bit like FOMO, and it's eating up my time and a lot of energy.

So I'm reaching out to you for help, to find out if other people are in the same situation.

I think life is short and there are too many wonderful things to do outdoors.

Thank you.
