aye...rents doubling in less than 10 years will do that to a place.

you live here or have lived here? in my recent move i needed to keep to less than €10 per sqm warm...the only places that were ok were coming from Marzahn, Spandau and Köpenick, even then it took a full year of solid searching 'til i bagged one.

Another example: i moved into a Gesundbrunnen flat in 2013 which was about bang-on €10 (€695 for 70qm). When i moved out this spring i was told because of its price-class it's now become a 'sozial Wohnung' (bit like a council flat). I was told it's too cheap for the normal market. In 2008 the same flat cost less than €500 warm (normal open market price).

The market values have sped up at unhealthy rates while wages remain stagnant. The odd bargain rent in a central Bezirk will get up to a hundred viewings (with most applying).

Don't live there but know people that do (some of whom can't speak German!). I live near Frankfurt. A quick check on wohnungsboerse.net shows that Berlin is still cheaper than other major German cities on average, though it looks like it will catch up with the likes of Hamburg and Koeln soon. Still some way to go before it hits Frankfurt/Munich levels though.

i think we've derailed the thread a little bit lol
 
how much is your flat warm and how big in sqm? (if you don't mind like).

aye, berlin's famous cheapness seems a long time ago now. personally i like it being a busier place and most people are chill with it too: but the swift increase in rents has caused real problems for low-income earners. at least the city has somehow avoided any ghettoing, largely thanks to those three cheap bezirks i mentioned earlier (which are also huge).

Hahaha, some brutally honest parenting here. Well in lid. He'll grow out of it.

The country has failed this generation and despite it all I like them, they're articulate, witty and self depreciating. It's just more fun to goad them.

Is right chico. We had it better in my opinion and they make the most of the [Poor language removed] hand that fate dealt them
 

Met my bird on a night out the way it is supposed to be done. Tinder came out about a year after and all of a sudden lads I knew were finding birds for a quickie and felt I'd missed out on something. But on the other hand I didn't need an app to pull a girl and would never use one if I split with the missus now. Those meaningless conversations you have when trying to pull are much better when you're bevvied and can sneak a peek down her top.

Seems like a nice girl.

I met a girl a couple of weekends ago and we had a one night stand. I got on quite well with her and we text for about a week, had a good laugh and arranged to meet her again last Friday for a few drinks.

It was a but arkward and we haven't spoken since.

Still a better love story than twilight.

If you have a one night stand the first time you meet it sort of sets the tone and proper "dating" doesn't tend to follow.

Yeah I've been there before but I got on so well with this one I thought maybe we could perhaps have a nice 'friendship'. Ah well. On to the next.
 
Odd not having a clue about Tinder, been with my gf for nearly 8 years so this kinda thing has completely passed me by. Not against it at all, was it MySpace in my days as an alt indie stallion.

I remember the last girl I was with/slept with before my gf just came up to me in a bar and said 'we should have sex sometime'. Was pretty hard to play it cool there, just wanted to say 'yeah, sure' without my voice breaking. Wasn't really a one night stand though as met a few days later and sober.

I've never really had a proper one night stand. The only time I had a chance, I couldn't get it up. We just cuddled.

Not always true.

I had my jollys first night with my missus , after going on a massive Euro 2000 bender. We've been together ever since.
I had no idea who she was when I woke up, just a lot better than the usual munters that I'd been waking up to.
