DIALOGS FOR EVERYDAY USE 🎧📚

Dialogue for Beginners 🎉📚 (Day # 30)

C’était il y a trois ans. C’était un soir, dans une petite ruelle sombre près d’une des grandes gares. Elle se tenait dans l’encadrement d’une porte, sous un lampadaire qui éclairait à peine. Elle avait un visage jeune, très maquillé. C’est le maquillage qui m’a attiré, sa blancheur, comme un masque, et les lèvres rouge vif. Les femmes du Parti ne se maquillent jamais. Il n’y avait personne d’autre dans la rue, et pas de télécran. Elle a dit : deux dollars. Je. . .

If you're doing online dating in the English-speaking world, you might see people talking about their "icks."

This is a slang word — icks are things that give you "a sudden feeling that you dislike someone" or are no longer attracted to them, according to the Cambridge Dictionary.

Icks are not always really big things. Being rude to an employee at a store, for example, might be an ick for someone, or eating with your mouth open.

People will often say they "got the ick" when they noticed something about a person that made them feel they were no longer attracted to them.

If they get to that point, it may be hard for them to feel attracted again!

If you're looking through dating profiles on an app, the most common ick is people who are negative or bitter.

That's according to a survey for Forbes Health. One thousand Americans who had used a dating app in the last year were asked about their dating habits.

And about 70% said people who are negative or bitter in their bios, perhaps about a previous relationship, give them the ick.

Other common icks include people with edited photos, people who are too interested in their possessions, and people with bad spelling or grammar.

And when using the apps, daters often make their decisions quite quickly.

According to the survey, the average person takes about two-and-a-half minutes to make a decision about whether they like a person or not.

So what makes daters attractive to others? Having a profile that shows a good sense of humor is a good thing, according to 80% of people.

The same number said they like people who have hobbies and interests, while many others like people who are interested in travel — or who show a pet in their photo!
