    Are women more open to dating you than you think?

    No it's not. Sure, approaching and communicating properly help, but those are the only requirements that women have.

    President Trump confronted South African president about murders and persecution of white people

    Apparently it's Frisian, which is spoken in the Netherlands, although its Old English and Old Frisian which resemble each other, so they've turned into completely different languages. It is Dutch when it comes to major languages, but you'd have to go even further back to find a common ancestor.

    President Trump confronted South African president about murders and persecution of white people

    France also contributed significantly. Huguenots were early settlers in South Africa, and many Afrikaans people have names of French origin (first names and surnames). And they usually do speak English. Not as a first language (and therefore not necessarily particularly well), but they're...

    President Trump confronted South African president about murders and persecution of white people

    And South Africa isn't the only country with such legislation. Plenty of other countries have similar laws, including the US (eminent domain).

    President Trump confronted South African president about murders and persecution of white people

    It was taken to court, and the defence was that the lyrics weren't meant to be taken literally. The court ruled that there was no reason not to believe that. https://mg.co.za/top-six/2022-08-25-malema-economic-freedom-front-singing-kill-the-boer-ruled-not-hate-speech/ That comes across as some...

    President Trump confronted South African president about murders and persecution of white people

    The disagreement isn't because Trump said it. The "white genocide" narrative was being pushed long before Trump got hold of it. It was incorrect then, and it's still incorrect now. If Biden had criticised the South African government in the same way and offered white South Africans refugee when...

    President Trump confronted South African president about murders and persecution of white people

    That's why I said it was controversial. I haven't read the court ruling, so I don't know why they made their decision, but it may have something to do with the historical significance of the song. It dates from the apartheid era, where the words had a lot more meaning, but is possibly now one...

    President Trump confronted South African president about murders and persecution of white people

    In a controversial decision, the Supreme Court of Appeal ruled that it wasn't hate speech. So unless you're suggesting that the government ignore court rulings, there's not a lot they can do about it. It should be, but there have been mixed results when taking it to court. People in stadiums...

    President Trump confronted South African president about murders and persecution of white people

    If you're referring to the "Kill the Boer song, a majority of people surveyed are opposed to it. https://inside-politics.org/2025/04/23/public-perceptions-on-kill-the-boer/ "Significantly, 57% of EFF supporters identified the song as “clearly hate speech”. A further 26% said singing the song...

    President Trump confronted South African president about murders and persecution of white people

    A picture of a man standing at a podium is hardly the slam dunk you think it is. And why shouldn't people who are deliberately spreading misinformation be criticised, even punished?

    President Trump confronted South African president about murders and persecution of white people

    Black farmers are being murdered too. The majority of farmers are white, so people have ended up focusing on the white part to push their own narrative.

    Struggle with making friends

    I think it all depends on who you encounter. None of the core group I mentioned in my previous post are Christian (although I think they all went to church as kids), but it hasn't been an issue. In practical terms, my faith is treating like an interest that they don't share, just like they all...

    Struggle with making friends

    I've found that the only way I can make friends is though having a way in which I can encounter them regularly, which allows the friendship to develop. Meeting someone, exchanging numbers, and trying to make something happens just doesn't work for me, no matter how well we may have hit it off at...
