Search Results: am i too short

I am trying to collect data on what kinds of people this happens to. I'd really appreciate you sharing any short or long details about your demographic/ personality/how you were brought up/dating experiences.

I don't know if I am just hyper aware of how people are, but I feel like often people already know very early on if a man or woman is full of crap or not, and I don't ignore red flags like some people do. Maybe not in 5 minutes but after a full 12 hours of conversation, I think it is about as clear as day, at least for me. I know some people actually "try" to believe lies are the truth, and then it becomes truth in their minds. Sometimes it is because of loneliness. Sometimes it is because the words sound so sweet. Sometimes the person is just so physically attractive. I am wondering in how many scenarios there are where adults genuinely had no clue until way later.

I feel like this might happen more for introverts, maybe only children, people who lack dating experience, and basically people who do not interact as much. Then again, I could be wrong. Maybe some extroverts are too friendly and see the best in too many people.

Just looking for honest stories/experiences. No judgment here.

Trump was just asked about the ‘TACO trade’ for the first time. He called it the ‘nastiest question’

By Elisabeth Buchwald, CNN

Wall Street has been riding a historic roller coaster the past few months due to President Donald Trump’s on-again, off-again tariff threats. Now, investors are learning to take his words with a grain of salt — and a bit of salsa, too.

That’s because there’s a new type of trade taking hold: TACO, short for Trump Always Chickens Out. In other words, don’t fret too much about Trump’s latest tariff threat and go on a selling spree, because eventually he’ll back down and a relief rally will ensue.

Trump said he first learned of the term, coined by Financial Times commentator Robert Armstrong, on Wednesday when a reporter sought his reaction to it.

“I chicken out? Oh, I’ve never heard that. You mean because I reduced China from 145% that I set down to 100 and then to another number?” Trump said Wednesday, referring to tariff rates he imposed on imported Chinese goods. (The rate is now 30%, after Trump raised it as high as 145% last month, much to investors’ dismay, only to reduce it a few weeks later.)

Last week, Trump threatened to impose 50% tariffs on goods from the European Union come June 1. Stocks turned lower after his threat, which he doubled down on later in the day, claiming there was no room to negotiate. Two days later, he said he’d wait until July 9 to levy a 50% tariff on EU goods following promising talks.

“You call that chickening out?” Trump responded to a reporter at an Oval Office event Wednesday, referring to his recent announcements on EU and Chinese tariff rates.

“It’s called negotiation,” Trump added, saying that part of his tactic can include setting “a ridiculous high number” for tariff rates and going down if he gets other nations to give in to his demands.

“Don’t ever say what you said,” Trump told the reporter, calling it “the nastiest question.”
