What makes someone look like an easy target for random requests in public?

As a 20 yo guy, throughout my life I got approached in public, more than you can think.

Whether a homeless men (mostly scammers) asking for help or money, Jehovah witnesses, usually girls asking me for gym club invitations (and getting my contacts eventually) , strangers asking for directions .... I've seen it all

At least once a week I have an event on this matter, and I want to know why...

I sometimes have rants when walking to clear my head, look in other directions and generally I treat walks like a good hobby, it cleanses my emotions , like being detached from my problems and such — so this could be a cause I guess(??I have no words to describe it)

Maybe people judge by posture to deduct the "one who would fold to their demands"? For the record I'm a very nice guy, I tend to help people with anything, to the point where friends/colleagues treat this as an ick/weakness and take me for a fool...

As for looks I look like an average Joe, 179cm (or 5'10" for my burger people) , so I see no reason why I tend to be approached at random...

Maybe the spotlight effect plays a role in this too, I sincerely don't know.

If you tend to "approach" people in public, just let me know what makes someone trusted or rather more able to listen at least with your proposal.

Any kind of help is deeply appreciated:)!

What is your favorite creative "swear word/phrase" in Romanian?

As an international med student in in the far east side of Romania (Iasi more explicitly), I find the integration process very welcoming, you make friends very quickly if you make the effort to learn to speak the language, as the locals are aware of the effort behind it, especially in funny phrases or swear words :).

I find it funny that a good part of them have little "anecdotes/stories" , usually about "moms" and whatnot (which becomes repetitive tbh) but some of them are really creative , here are some examples of them i received over text (mind you, these were not addressed towards me seriously , but rather on a playful tone):

"să îți bag o vioară în gât și să cânte cancerul la ea" tr.(“I’ll shove a violin down your throat and have cancer play the darn thing") – I find it weird, but this made me chuckle for such an absurd find

"mi se rupe pula de tine/voi" tr.(my dick breaks because of you guys) – found a hard time understanding this, but I guess it shows discontent and indifference

„să-ți fie curul cimitir și pula lumânare.” tr.(may your ass be a cemetery and your dick the candle) – I never understood in which context you use this , but each story has an absurd yet creative outcome, my guess it that it's some kind of curse, but no situation comes in mind where you can use it (lmk if this is too "niche" to be ever used)

Keep it in mind, these are grotesque, and using in your daily life , moreover as a student may seem weird, even malpractice...

I do not intend of doing any harm with these, but now I have to ask if you guys know any kind of these phrases that are more common or "niche" even.

I find these really humorous, due to the fact that every single one has to find an oddly specific and grotesque scenario only to portray a specific variant of an emotion, which is a really cool aspect of the Romanian culture and language.

Let me know what you think of the usage of these kind of phrases, if there are any more of them , I would gladly appreciate to have a chuckle over the "over exaggerated" scenarios one can find.

Any help/opinion is kindly welcomed 🙏.

Cheers from a German national 🇩🇪 :) !

Flori de Mucigai - TwoDoor Kirkghezi - poet canonic

Le-am lărpuit cu unghia pe tencuială

Pe un părete de firidă goală

Pe întuneric, in incelitate

Cu cortizolurile neajutate

Nici chadul, nici chudul, nici foidul

Care au lucrat împrejurul Lui Jeffrey, lui Charlie si lui Floyd

Sunt stihuri fără foid

Stihuri de goon

De "it's over" si doom

De mog si de scrum

Stihurile de acum

Când mi s-a cuckuit unghia chudtopiască

Am lăsat-o să lărpuiască

Si nu mi-a lărpuit

Sau nu o mai am mogguit

Era întuneric. Foidul bătea departe, afară

Și mă durea mâna ca o ghiară

Necuckuită să se stângă

Și m-am silit sa goonăresc cu unghiile de la mâna stângă...

Ăștia de o dați jos, vă sparg gng🥀🥀
