Men are not the only ones with pictures of their ex in their profile picture...lol There are a bunch of the women who have that as well. Some of them do not even crop out the ex, or cover the face or anything. Those are the weird vibe ones, almost like they are looking for someone to join their couple but the profile says they are single...lol

The camera on phones are handy for things like fine print, I have seen people do that in stores. They will take a picture of the labels and then zoom in to read it...lol

There are a lot of weirdos out there, but I would not shy away from mentioning that you have a kid right in the beginning...that can help weed out the fly-by-night guys...lol
There are guys out there that like the pre-made family idea. I dated a girl with two kids, moved them all in with me but after 4 years it was only the kids that I miss when she had to go.

I do not get the phones as a show off thing either, to me it is just an electric leash. People think it is weird that I have texting blocked on my phone, but I think it is weird to not use a phone as a phone...lol But I guess it is comparable to guys who need to have a Rolex watch instead of a Timex...lol

Yeah, that is why I thought it was weird, a lot of photos have the phone in the picture...especially the full body shots in a mirror. But I think they meant the closer stuff like just head shots. That is why I thought I would ask here, maybe I was missing something...lol

Phones have had a front and rear camera for a long time now, even my old flip phones years ago (simpler life) had them.

One other think I just thought of was maybe it was just started by someone who was envious of the nicer phones because they really want one to show off like that...lol

I halfway read an article on facebook about phone flexing, showing off your phone in photos. At first I thought it was dumb, but I am not into phones and just scanning through the search section on here there are a lot of profiles that have their phone in the pictures.
So just to get a conversation going, do you really think that phone flexing is a thing or is it more likely that something is wrong with their phone (including user error)?...lol

They make solar cameras, and cameras with a battery back up in case of blackouts. I have even seen people use the hunting cameras, they have their own batteries and will send pictures to your phone (depending on which one you get).

But then there is also people who just put up the camera sign without the cameras to scare off a few...lol

It is like that with facebook and most other apps also. Apps and lite versions of the website because your phone can not handle all these websites at the full version.

Look under Search -> Who's Online
They all have green dots by their name showing that they are online...

In this swipe world, a better main photo will help. I think people ignore profiles with hard to see profile pics (I do at least).

If you are looking for a deeper relationship then I would say you might have better luck with more in the about section, give them something more to read and be interested in.

Good Luck

That was one of the names...lol.
They were to hang the shirt up on a hook so it did not get wrinkled. Some of the t-shirt tags would loop like that for the same reason, to have a hidden loop.

You bringing up the tag sticking out reminded me that people use to have a little rhyming name for that which I guess you can not say any more...so what is it suppose to be called now days?...lol
I usually cut mine out of my shirts anyways...

It is still there. When you click on the Mail, then there is a few lines of buttons near the top. One of them has "Inbox" "Nudge" "Mail Settings" "Blocked Users" "Filters"

The Media on/off button is in the messenger part. When you are messaging someone you can switch it. I think it is to allow people to send you pictures but I am not sure...

Just assuming what google told you was true, do you really think there is a hard line on the year that you were born making you act the way that you do? I would think that there are going to be a lot of cross over in the years that are closer to the start and end of these generational labels. Then there is also going to be people of each generation that do not fit that definition for what ever reason.

The other problem with googling the generational differences is think about who is writing this, do you really thing that there are a lot of baby boomers writing for google? And if there is a baby boomer working at google, I do not think they would fit the typical baby boomer stereotype since they have to work with mostly younger people there.

I just checked, it is still there...

With speaking, I can accept some of the common mistakes in English. Especially in an informal conversation (a speech or lecture is different, that should have been checked for grammar and all beforehand).

It is the writing that I am amazed by, I always considered myself as being on the lower scale with my English knowledge...but online here has shown me that there are a lot of people who are worse than I am...lol

Tokyo seemed like everyone was too busy going places, like New York is here, so I would not say they were overly polite there. Away from the city, I usually had friends around that knew the area so I was not asking for directions to have that happen. But I am not sure I would have noticed it as being weird either because if I have time and it is not too far out of the way then I will do that also. I did that the last time I was at the grocery store, an elderly couple asked me where the noodles were. I told them that they were about 3 aisles down, then I was like "I need to get some also if you want to just follow me." Help others if you can type of thing I guess...lol

I did not notice their English, but I am not the best at English myself so I try not to judge too much...lol But I might have just thought that English was not their first language and let it go at that. There are a lot of people who also speak French in Canada so maybe it is a French thing? Or it may be like the southern US here where the education is so poor that you just get use to no one speaking correctly...lol

I visited Japan a couple of times when I lived in Korea, but of course I did not get to see enough of it...lol i did visit one of the tourist trap villages that were set up like it was old times and it was pretty cool. The thing that impressed me the most though was that they would build a fire under the stone floor buildings to keep warm.

I started watching "99 to Beat", US and UK versions which is a fun show doing silly games to win it.

When I googled it, anime did not come up but a comic book did so that is close...lol I seen the trailer and it looks rather dark for me. But if you get into it then it looks like it is suppose to follow the history of Japan so you might learn a little there, a teaching action drama show...lol

The first season of them looking for crystals were low buck hunters mostly, the people who were walking along and finding them. A few were going in abandoned mines to look. I think just one guy was seriously digging. But that is what lost me with season 2, most of the people were doing serious digging.

I remember the 2003 movie of Last Samurai, but I did not see a series like what you are talking about. Is it one of those amine cartoons?
