You have probably seen a person change their mind about disliking something the second they hear their friend, for instance, say that they love it. Or witnessed someone push through what looks like torture to them, all the while trying to squeeze out a sincere (-looking) smile.

For one reason or another, some people choose to pretend to like something when they actually don’t. And similarly to said reasons, the things they pretend to like tend to differ from person to person. Members of the ‘Ask Reddit’ community recently discussed what things they believe others lie about liking, and there were quite a few things they pointed their fingers at. Scroll down to find them on the list below and feel free to upvote the ones you agree with the most.

For real. The forced positivity and "we're so happy to be part of the *random brand* family. The endless, pointless presentations and HR talk." Celebrating company values" while underpaying your employees and laying off people without replacing them. But please remind us how we can do more to fill your pockets faster in the future, boss.

I never saw the need for that. You HAVE to work with them because it's part of your job but as soon as a lot of ppl clock out, they run, not walk away from their jobs. Ppl are there for work. It's not like you spend all the time with these ppl. Most of them you just tolerate because you get paid to tolerate.

Many of those "team builders' that I attended ended up in an argument and hurt feelings because some self-appointed team leader wouldn't take input from the other participants and then got mad when they called him/her out for it. I know one department that went on a team builder weekend and three people quit when they got back.

    We lived out on a ranch, 75 miles from town so birthdays were split. We had a special family dinner on the day of their birthday. The birthday person chose the meal and type of cake and we just ate a good meal together. The next time we went to town both sides of the family would have a party for whichever kids BD it was. They would get Happy Birthday sung to them, and then they told us they preferred the 'at home' ones because the food was better and there was no singing at them.

BUT - when it is a group of staff/strangers I don't know at some restaurant wearing cowbells with sparklers stuck in their ears clapping along to that restaurant's own version of the HB song that nobody else knows - CRINGE.

    Street level cars (as opposed to a dragster) do not need to be loud to be powerful. Especially at idle / low speeds. I find it cringe when a POS car makes a lot of noise coming out of a stoplight because they stuck glass packs on it, but the Dodge Dart Sport (all stock) I had in HS could beat it off the line. With modern tech small cars can be powerful these days but they don't have to be super loud / annoying. I do kind of miss the sound of old school big block power at idle. That throaty "gung-gung-gung.." I don't know how to type it. If you know you know. My best friend's older brother had GTO with twin carbs that wasn't super loud but would pull a wheelie.

    In the future, universities will use KUWK as a sociological study in the destructive nature of fame. At the beginning of the show, the Kardashians were all a loving family and productive members of society--maybe a little shallow, but otherwise actually fairly decent people heavily involved in charity and philanthropy. After 15 years in front of the camera, they have become back-stabbing, selfish, malignant narcissists who are wholly unlikeable. I suspect the same could probably be said about many of the "Real Housewives" as well.

    I fully understand the financial and glorifying aspects of shows like The Duggars, Duck Dynasty and the Kardashians. It is the viewers and purchasers of the items these groups promote that I just don't get. The word, "Addiction" pops up when I hear about how large of an audience these families obtain and how near to "Perfection" these families are viewed as by the hooked viewers. "There's a sucker born every minute" seems to be the true motivation of these TV families as well as the current internet influencers.

    On YT, a lot of women has videos, "pack my Stanley with me". The cup has a snacktray around the cup, a little purse for rings, name tags, in case you do not remember your name. And sometimes a little backpack. All on the Stanley cup.And then they are sitting in their car , being stupid/dumb doing nothing. Or going on a hike. You don't need a ring purse when u go on a hike

    Are all these people living in a desert? Who on earth drags around 1 kg of fluid or more all day long. Aren't there any water taps around where they work and live? 2l of water is more than enough if one eats healthy, that is one normal sized cup every two hours.

    I am 4'10". I have worn heels from the time I was old enough to do so until I was in my late 30s, woke up and could no longer put ANY weight on my feet. Had to buy all new shoes and relearn how to walk. High heels are terrible for your feet! I knew this but kept wearing them anyway. Now I live in my Brooks tennis shoes.

That was the only time in my life I have ever warn high heels. If I see a woman walking in spike heels and thick soles, I wonder how the hell she does that without falling on her face!

    I’d say I have awkwardly shaped flat feet, so most heels with their tiny pointed toes wouldn’t work for me. Needless to say, if I want to gain an extra inch (or five, let’s go nuts), I’ll go for platform shoes!

    Seems dangerous to wear shoes you can't sprint in - like to run away from a mugger, bear, snake, demented bully, rabid bat, etc. Also, constant wear will shorten the tendons.

    I HATE freestyle jazz. I respect it is a thing some people like - but it's not my thing. One time at a local theater I had season tickets. One show was famous jazz players. I don't recall their names but I gather they were folks that people in that circle would know. I could tell they were very talented musicians and good at what they did - but I hated what they did. They also played a couple of pieces with actual tunes and you could see the skill. But the "everybody is tuning their instrument" sound is cringe to me.

    It's not an actual fear of the character (unless they are intending to be a scary clown), it's the fake and forced happiness that the costume represents. It's disturbing to many people, so they hate clowns. The IT movies are an example of a purposefully scary clown, taken from a real life serial killer.

    (my opinion...but) I think a lot of folks don't like clowns because it puts them in the position of either being rude or politely pretending to like 'humor' that is old and boring. In the 1800s, a loud colorful costume might have been amusing. Now we can just go to Walmart and see it walking the aisles. The water squirting flower was likely new and amusing when it was being sold in 1888. Basically, a clown may have seemed interesting when the daily excitement for kids was probably guessing which horse was going to poop the biggest pile. But in a world of computer games and netflix and huge theme parks and the ability (with money) to travel all over the world..... some dude in loud clothing and oversized shoes squirting water in your face isn't entertaining. I've been to one or two 'real' circuses as a young boy. The clowns were basically a distraction while they changed stuff around for the next act.

    It's because the hip-strap parts of the thong is pulled up over the curve of the hip, making the entire pelvic area appear square and elongated. I mean, wear what you want, more power to you, but I think it's very unflattering on almost anyone. Same with the bottoms for women that show part of where your upper leg attaches to your lower body (I forgot the word, is that the groin?).

    This reminds me of my confusion when watching the Olympic volleyball matches. The women basically had thong underwear on and tiny bras. The men wore what people usually wear playing volleyball - t-shirts and shorts. So why did the women have to wear exceptionally revealing, and what looked like uncomfortable, outfits? It obviously has nothing to do with playing the game efficiently or the men would have been wearing similar outfits (just speedos).

    It also bothers me the way some people pose for photos. Of course the ladies have their duck lips and other stereotypical poses, but some guys are just as bad. I have an acquaintance who is actually a very nice dude, but also sees himself as a bit of a tough guy, and he always poses with a stern expression while making a fist, as a professional boxer might. Like anything that shows him relaxed and smiling would somehow make him appear to be less macho.

    Not for me. It's not just about summer break. I'm out of high school, and I STILL look forward to summer. You can go to the pool, and the beach. You can have picnics and go for long walks. There's ice cream, smoothies, and vacations. There's fireworks and barbecues. The grass is green. There are leaves on the trees. All the animals are out and about. There are flowers everywhere. The sunsets just seem more beautiful during summer. And when the wind blows, it's refreshing instead of just plain cold. In my opinion, summer is the season of the year.

    I'm happy that most years we only get ~3 hot days in a row, "hot" meaning 30+C. We're on the second today, for tomorrow rain is scheduled. For the most part this summer has been bearable, but I lose any drive to leave the house from 25 C onwards anyway.

    Having to deal with her as a customer, she's an horrible person. Cold, entitled, making unreasonnable demands as if she is some kind of Queen. Making the shop closing for two hours, making us searching items in the back that were upfront because she didn't want the ones exposed in the store to finally spend only 40€ in a pack of tea wich were our top sale with nothing particular. Only spoke to the sale manager who was with her the whole time, not even saying hello to us nor looking at us or speaking directly to us. I don't mind the ''she broke the Beatles ''' controversy, just making my opinion on her as a person

    Not discounting your experience, but I have an opposite story. Before he died John Lennon bought a large property in upstate NY, on the outskirts of the town my uncle is from. My uncle was part of county fire/rescue squad (this was a fairly rural area), and they were going door to door trying to get donations to buy a new ambulance. When they got to Lennon's place (this was years after his death, btw), Yoko Ono answered the door and wrote them a check for the entire cost of the ambulance--about $80,000 US. I haven't had anything bad to say about her since then.

    50 People Share Things They Don’t Believe Anyone Genuinely Likes Poly relationships.

    thrilliam_19:

    I have several friends who all tried poly relationships at some point in their life and every single one ended in disaster, and whenever they were all together in the same room at least one person looked like they were miserable and pretending to be ok with what was going on.
    Someone always got jealous or someone cheated. Or it was an excuse for 3-4 people to fuck each other for a few months until someone got bored and the people that were actually into it got hurt.
    I’m not saying it can’t work, but I have seen zero evidence that it does. I also feel like long-term monogamous relationships are hard, why would adding another person into that relationship make things better or easier?

    I hung out with red hot pie people back when that was a thing in 2007-10 - I wasn’t a swinger my bff was their poster girl and she wanted me there to look out for her etc, I went to party and look after her. NONE of the swingers or poly people are together now, none of them and I’m pretty sure the red hot pie owners are divorced AF, which what do you expect and how do you think a 17 girl was going to make your married relationship stronger? They are deluded at the time and will validate as much as they can, but fast forward a decade or so and it’s evident

    William Moulton Marston, the creator of Wonder Woman and the polygraph test, was in a very successful poly relationship with his wife Elizabeth Holloway and Olive Byrne. They all lived together and raised their children together, and when Marston died the two women kept living together as a couple until they eventually died too. I am not saying poly relationships are easy for everyone, but they can and do work for some people.

    Going to echo a few people here and chime in with "it doesn't work for everyone". Ethical non-monogamy IS a thing and it can work provided everyone is committed and there's full disclosure and open communication - that's the 'ethical' part. I get that people choose not to do it but it frustrates me when people say it never works. It never works for you, OK. It never works for anyone? No. Less judgement please.

    I have seen the other side of this. I am part of a casual throuple. I have been very close friends with the couple for several years and they have been married for 12 years. We usually get together 3 or so times a week and occasionally we will get together individually either me and her or me and him but usually we meet as a threesome. They do also meet with other people occasionally, and we have several mutual fwb. I am single and very happy to stay that way but I do have several casual partners and always enjoy meeting new people too. The couple have been together for over 20 years now and while their lifestyle is not for everyone, it can work.

    Some have it better than others. Went through it 4 times, always really enjoyed the middle trimester. Morning sickness is a b*tch, and in the last month or so, you mostly wish it was over already.

    Yes!!! my pregnancy was horrible. I had "morning sickness" all day everyday that didn't end until I gave birth. I was miserable and I hated the whole thing. Love, love, love my kid. I am so happy to have her but she is an only child because of how bad pregnancy was!!!!

    The maternal death rate in the US was 817 in 2022. For reference, Norway and Sweden both had 0.00 maternal deaths for the same year.

    While the maternal death rate is abysmally high (not just in the US, but worldwide, in particular for black women), your numbers are off, and the statement really should be qualified a bit better. Norway and Sweden only had 0 maternal deaths in 2022, that doesn't follow the same for each year (both typically run 2-3+ per every 100,000 live births), but they also have a LOT Less births in general than other countries. Those maternal death rates include any and all deaths that occur within 42 days of the termination of any pregnancy (birth or not)-this includes all complications that cause death, abortions that have complications, miscarriages, stillbirths, infections, improper after care, underling and unknown medical conditions, etc.., many of which have nothing to do with childbirth but are lumped in with it because they have no other qualifying category to put them in (aside from just, death). Also, the numbers ARE trending downward again, which is a good thing.

    Everybody has the right to hate that but I enjoyed every moment, even when I couldn't even drink liquids without throwing up for 4 months. It was my 4th pregnancy but my only living child. It was pure bliss, even if there were issues and we were closely monitored. I could walk, bike, swim... I felt so good at the second trimester. Always smiling.

But at a certain point you stop tasting 90% of what you're eating and are just trying to withstand the ridiculous ghost reaper of death evil wing sauce that you put on your wings to look manlier I guess.

    As someone who loves spicy food, my perspective on this is that I find it surprising that people aren't willing to tolerate a small amount of discomfort (which you quickly acclimatise to) in order to discover a whole new world of dishes and flavours.

    I agree. Spice is good, so is spicy, it adds another element to the dish that's exciting and tasty. BUT, spicy so hot that you can't even enjoy the symphony of flavors? No. Just, no point. Though, what may be too hot for me can still be flavorful to others, so it truly is a sliding scale on where "too hot" is for people

Each brings its own qualities to the table but, hey, not everyone appreciates them and that's OK. I don't understand the whole ghost pepper/Carolina Reaper thing. That $hit's too hot for color TV. But again, you do you, but I wouldn't want my little bootyhole in flames the next day.

    Spicy food produces endorphins and dopamine....meaning it's quite literally a high. Yes, if the spiciest thing you've ever eaten is a banana pepper (500 SHU) then you're gonna have a rough time if you move directly to a habanero (150,000-325,000 SHU) let alone anything hotter....because you have to build up to it. Think of the first shot of alcohol or toke of weed you ever had, it burned like hell/you hacked up a lung....but your body acclimates. Once you build up a tolerance for spicy things, the heat is still there....but it's no longer overpowering, it's not smothering everything....and you realize that these peppers, and sauces actually do have unique and amazing flavors. Carolina reapers are a bitter like dark chocolate, with undertones of cinnamon. While ghost peppers are citrusy and almost sweet (i put ghost pepper flakes on pizza for a hit of heat) and i have a few dozen Reapers growing in the garden right now.

    Weirdly, the fact that there is a bit of a script, simple rules to follow and somewhat clear lines not to cross with simple chitchat make it easier to me than trying to have an honest conversation. When someone tells me about their summer, I only lean a little more into being interested,compassionate or sympathetic than I actually feel. But when they tell me about their honest passions or their parents cancer treatment, I'm completely out of my depth. I don't have a script, and my natural responses are considered lacking. So, let's talk about your summer. I don't really care, but I like people talking about what makes them happy. Makes me happy, too.

    Small talk tends to be cultural. In the UK, complaining about the weather is normal. But other countries have different versions of this. We do this in Brazil too, but the weather is usually nice. Brazilians tend to be very personal in small talk, which would likely make many Europeans uncomfortable.

    Part of the problem is how readily available cigarettes are. You can get them almost everywhere and you can still smoke them in a lot of public places. Smoking is seen as distasteful by a lot of people but there isn't the same stigma as there is around hard d***s. And I agree, quitting smoking is harder to quit.

    Nicotine is an interesting d**g. It can make you feel "up" when you're down, and can calm you "down" when you're up. That's what makes it so hard to quit. Tried and failed to quit for years. Had to retrain my brain to quit. 10 years smoke-free now and couldn't be happier. And if you are trying to quit, don't give up. It can be done.

    I agree that anyone who uses the word passion at a corporate job should be sent for a mental evaluation / asked if they are OK, but there's enjoyment to be had in doing any job well. As for sales, if you beat your annual targets, the money will often fund benefits and pay rises for colleagues, which is satisfying. Yes, most of it goes to the shareholders / evil overlords, but at a well run company, excess profits can benefit everyone. And some companies products and services actually benefit wider society too.

    That you don't understand it, doesn't negate that it's real. Like....i don't understand anyone that enjoys a job where they're forced to interact with strangers day in and day out. Like i don't understand people that enjoy going to bars to meet strangers, or people who enjoy getting drunk, or people who enjoy reality TV, or watching sports, country music or the spice the girls. All are different flavors of my personal hell....but lots of people enjoy those things. Just like some people enjoy numbers, money and goal oriented tasks. Doesn't matter what the task is, it matters that they've set a goal, and met or exceeded it....because those goals, are sales numbers, and those sales numbers translate to commission, bonuses...and career advancement....which brings higher salaries and bigger bonuses. So....ya know, what's difficult to grasp there?

    This probably depends on if you are introvert / extrovert. Or if you have a career that demands it, such as being an actor. To me (introvert) a lot of social stuff is cringe. once in a while is plenty. But some people thrive on it. To them, me being happy to sit at home in the quiet may seem cringe instead.

    That´s a personal problem of time management in many cases. Sometimes you don´t have a choice, that´s true. Some of my friends just try to put too much in a day, or have no clue how to be efficient. And it´s not that they always achieve more than me in the same time. often ending with five tasks not properly done and hanging over the fence with their tongues out. Being "lazy" is no character-failure, you just have this one life. Try to make a difference between really important stuff and things that matter less or can be done later. We are all just on our way through this worl, being busier or faster sometimes leads to exhaustion not only of your body, but your soul as well. Take your time to not overlook the beautiful things that cross your way by flying by.

I just believe if you are used to inhaling, you will probably inhale cigar smoke (I'm a non-smoker and can totally be wrong about this) ... I call cigars his gateway back to cigarette smoking (again non-smoker but I would think you could get caught up in the feeling).

    When our kids were in high school marching band we gladly sat in our chairs and watched all the marchers, gladly.. This was in Ballard, a suburb of Seattle (traditionally a Scandinavian suburb), so there were people dressed in traditional dress from Norway and Sweden and Finland. Our kids' high school band were usually the best, marching in precise order with students doing flag drill in front, then the bagpipers (the school's mascot is the Highlander), then the rest of the students. It was always a treat and delight. There were other marching bands including other high schools, but our kids' band always won the the best of award!

    The last wedding I attended was in a public park (which had really nice scenery for wedding photos). The bride and groom wore nice clothes they already owned and had spent a couple hundred dollars on rings. Instead of bringing gifts, the guests brought food for a pitch-in lunch. After the ceremony and lunch, we all played fun games. It was the only wedding I really enjoyed attending - and the only one where I noticed that children were obviously having a good time.

    Weddings.....are terrible. The narcissism involved in demanding that people indulge your little fantasy while you spend obscene amounts of money so she can "feel like a princess" and he can "feel like he's getting a princess" all in service of collecting gifts from those in attendance...is just the worst. My wife and i went to the courthouse, had a couple court employees as witnesses, and didn't even tell anyone we got married. Like her mom didn't find out until she happened to see a piece of mail for my wife with her new last name 2 years later. It's a personal thing, and no one else needs to be involved.

    A few years ago I was curious how long mine would get, since apparently some (maybe most) men have a terminal length, where their beard just stops growing at a certain point. I let it go until it was in the middle of my chest, and couldn't stand it any more. I wasn't a fan of it blowing up into my face when it was windy.

    Whether you like beards or not, every man has the right to grow hair on his face if he wants to. The only beards I don't like are the ones that look like he hasn't shaved in a couple of days. That's not even a beard.

    I do actually enjoy working out, I regularly use the gym equipment at work and I have my own gym room at home. I just stick my headphones on and for an hour I think and concentrate on nothing else apart from the set that I am doing, concentrating on form and technique. I genuinely find it a great way to relieve stress and at (almost) 45 years old, I am at least as fit and strong as I was in my late 20's.

    Back in the mid 1990s I was running 10k races regularly (for cardio; didn't really like it, but wanted better conditioning for martial arts). Boston Marathon held several lotteries for the 1996 race. I got a spot - fortunately in the first lottery; I had almost a year to go from 10k (6.2 miles) to 21.2 miles. I'm a slow back-of-the-pack runner; all my races my goal was to finish and not be last. Except for one race up Mt. Washington I did finish. Was next-to-last once. Anyway, I ran Boston Marathon; it was mind boggling - almost never took a step without people cheering you on. I ran a second marathon - Cape Cod Marathon - just to prove to myself I could do it. That was the opposite experience. Except for my wife and kidlets and my sister-in-law leapfrogging every other mile to cheer me on I didn't see anybody. Scenery was pretty, especially the last mile or so running by the ocean - except that gave a *cold* breeze. I did like the half-marathons I did during training, too.

    I have a beard but it doesn't get as thick as I would like. To look really decent, I havevto keep it thin. I have couple of friends who have thick beards. I am envious of them.

    Well, it's like everything else that's worth something: a lot of hard work, a lot of doubts and permanent fear. There are moments of exhaustion, even despair. But there's also fun, laughter, awe, pride and a lot of love. Raised four of them never regretted it. And now I get to enjoy my grandkids.

    We have to start normalizing that it's okay to not want children. Some people do not want them and that's entirely okay. It's better to not have kids at all, if that's what you want, then to be forced by societal pressure into having them and then being miserable (which makes the offspring miserable in turn).

    Thank you for this. I knew at 24 I didn't want children. Partly because I was afraid to turn out like my Mom and partly because I didn't want that 'soccer mom' lifestyle. When I turned 40, an elderly woman asked me if I ever regretted not having children. I said NO. She looked at me, smiled and said "good".

    Being there for someone else unconditionally is beautiful. Does everything now have to be enjoyable every minute you do it? Does everything have to be entertaining? Being a parent can be both and it's hard, scary and more. It's worth it though.

    I thought that I had loved, like immense true love. My husband is so important to me. But when we had our child, the Tsunami I felt was indescriptible. Like if I had only experienced less than 10% of that love before. Such love, that the fear to lose it hurts to your bone. And then this little sh1t plays with your nerves again, but even if it's really, really hard, it's something that I would never regret.

It's gotta be a genetic thing like how cilantro tastes terrible to some people. For the record, I like cilantro.

    Children's birthday parties are the best because they are into it. One at my house is still talked about as "best birthday party ever!". Which is not me flexing. I mostly just provided the yard. Pirate themed. the games were pirate themed. Like 'walk the plank' was a long 2x12 on some tires. After each game they got a piece of their pirate costume. (eye patch, hook hand, scarf, rope belt and so on). At the end of that - a treasure map and dug up a treasure box in my woods. Foreign coins and stamps and misc. They got so excited when they uncovered the bones. (some real cow bones that kind of look like human leg bones and a fake plastic human skull). It was simple stuff mostly but to them it was magical and watching their excitement is what made it fun. Also there was cake at some point. BD boy was literal. I put a note in the treasure chest from (pirate) about how he was coming for whoever took his treasure. He was honestly concerned about that.

    My youngest had an Indiana Jones party that I ran like an escape room. They had mysteries to solve, obstacles to overcome, and treasure to find. I got some of the other parents involved as characters like "competing evil archeologist" or "helpful jungle guide". As far as I know, everyone had a blast. But I put a lot of effort into the party as opposed to a "show up a chuck e cheese and enjoy chaos" type party.

    LOL Suffering through these is just part of being a parent / grandparent. Or any of those - whether or not it is christmas themed. You are not going because the live recording it going to become a platinum album. You go because your kid is in it and (usually) enjoying it and you support them. It is also a social thing - learning how to be on stage / in front of other people.

Bill burr called him a massive sell out to his face on his podcast once, bill was pissed cuz Kevin screwed some sitcom they were working on like 20 years ago over because he has a terrible work ethic, Kevin didn't even defend himself just basically agreed with him.

It surely is not for everyone, you have to dive a bit into the subtle but clear social criticism, humor and feminism (not forgetting when they were written).

    I used to do it at the restaurant I worked in (it was the 80s/90s). I never offered, but did when asked. I even had one of the cooks ask me to do it because he thought I was groping - I gave him one and he admitted I knew what I was doing. I once gave a customer a hand massage and she put $50 in my shirt pocket! (Long, weird story: I grew up in a recording studio and one person used to bring his yogi with him. While they were in a session, my siblings and I were learning about meditation and energy channels. We were taught how energy blockages in muscles caused discomfort. Might sound like hokum, but it worked.)

    Sure, some/most might drink to get drunk, but that too gets boring after a certain age and after a while it comes at the cost of a hangover.

There is always this people saying "you hadn't the right one then" but your stunt know what they tried. I sipped on nearly anything to know what it tastes like because I'm curious but from cheap to expensive to Selfmade they are all disgusting to me. The smell, the taste, the feeling in mouth and throat. I don't even like the baking aroma or alcohol cooked for hours in food (no, studies showed it never completely vanish, there will always be a really small percentage left). Alkohol ist so holy to humans, that it seems like it's unbearable if someone don't like it. I have encountered so many situations where people tried to make me drink. Disgusting. Sorry for the rant.

    This is a genetic and skill based issue. My family dislikes the taste and feel of alcohol, and most of us only drink to get a bit drunk, but hate the taste and smell. But I have friends who describe it as a refreshing burst of air, and a warm glow, and don't even taste the bitter/gross taste I get.

    I don't drink to oblivion, but I like to drink. I have a wine cellar, a booze collection, and order beer from Europe that I can't get in the U.S. I also can make my own beer, wine, and (hypothetically) pretty decent whiskey. As a matter of fact, while we were cooking together last night, my wife and I split a bottle I made in 2020.

    I enjoy the taste of all the alcoholic drinks that I generally drink. It's also nice to get tipsy now and then, but being drunk is really not exciting when you're over 30 and start feeling the consequences more.

    Sounds like OP is talking about alcoholic beverages, not strictly alcohol itself. Amazingly, some people like them and some don't. Just as with brussels sprouts. Some people, like me, enjoy some alcoholic beverages but not all. There is nothing wrong with likes and dislikes, but I don't care for some peoples' absolutist views; the notion that their opinions are Truth.

    Not a hard liquor drinker unless it has an umbrella. My favorite cider is Angry Orchard Crisp Apple. I actually admire someone who has never drank alcohol. I dated 2 men that don't and never drank alcohol. It was kinda refreshing.

    I've never been a big drinker. It always makes me sleepy. How am I supposed to socialize and have fun when all I want to do is curl up on the corner of the couch and doze off? Lol

    I enjoy a good bourbon or stout (other than Guinness), but the cost per drink is higher than I usually willing to pay.

    Learning languages. It’s fun when it pays off but forgetting a language you invested a lot of time in learning is an awful feeling.

    I love learning languages! It's like exploring new maps in a video game, one tiny puzzle piece at a time. Once you get to the point where you can derive new words from context it becomes a straight up detective game!

    And once you get to your 4th lor 5th anguage you can see how they are interconnected. I speak native Polish, English very well, German and Russian little less well and Italian I am learning now. It is quite fun to discover many Italian words are so similiar to polish words but totally different to English/German words of the same meaning. Also - learning languages is a great workout for your brain.

    What?! This is literally the most relaxing and rewarding activity out there. The joy of putting the pieces together and deciphering a language that prior to that was only an incomprehensible string of sounds is indiscribable. Plus you get to uncover a treasure trove of culture behind it. Loving it to bits ❤️

    Based on recommendations, I just started a new program for Spanish and I love it. I'm having fun and learning to much. I'm blown away and wonder why it isn't taught this way in schools.

    Oooo — wrong! Some of us really do love opera. It helps if you’re educated in that medium.

    I really love it, especially Puccini's and Gounod's! And there was no one in my youth who introduced me to it. I heard it the first time and I just love the massive orchestra, the drama, the voices that just go beyond everything I knew before.

    Wow, can't believe that opera is on the list. That said when I have been it seems to me that most of the people were there to be seen. One time I wore a Pink Floyd T shirt.. I have long hair and my GF was wearing jeans and FC Barcelona top. We got some looks. Same happens at jazz events. To many pretentious pricks.

    I always dress casual at the opera, glad i am not the only one. I am there for the music and the stories, not to flaunt money i don't have to people i don't know.

    I read once that opera was found to activate more regions of the brain simultaneously than any other genre of music. Not sure what that means, if anything, but it does seem to do something that other music doesn't.

    Won tickets one time to "Aida" at the Portland Opera. Hubby begrudgingly came with me and ended up LOVING it. Said he is so grateful he got the experience because it opened him up to a whole new world of music and performance. I won't say we love every opera, but we both appreciate the amazing voice talents of opera singers.

    I think seeing an opera performed live makes a huge differenc. Which opera did you see, if I may ask?

    I don't "hate" opera but I don't enjoy music (as much) when it is sung in a language I can't understand. Opera is difficult to understand both due to its style and (in most cases) being sung in what for me is a foreign language.
