Tall attractive lesbians?
FinishingDutch@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
I have one of those at work 😀 6’2” / 190 cm. Black hair, skinny, looks like a tall forest elf.
Poor girl is on her third girlfriend in as many months. No doubt she’s just a tad intimidating to other lesbians. It’d be like climbing a tree.
I’ve had success finding nice matches for some of my LGBTQ friends, but there most certainly is a challenge in finding ‘tall attractive lesbians’ as a category 😂

I mean the thing that’s stopping us most at this point is the fear of getting accused of sexual harassment for wanting to put women (assuming OP is a woman) into relationships.
blarghly@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
???
Suggesting potential matches for people is extremely common. Especially among people who are already friendly. If you are afraid of being accused of sexual harassment for trying to set up two friends… you need to touch grass

So you know our creepy uncle who runs a corner store? Has he met a customer for you!

I am headcanoning this upon my reality.
merc@sh.itjust.works 4 weeks ago
So, your best friend in the world. Do you ever see him outside his corner store?
ToiletFlushShowerScream@piefed.world 4 weeks ago
I don’t know why, but when I read this in my head, he has an accent.
Fmstrat@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
It was the quick shift to “very handsome” without a pronoun modifier.
Linguistics ftw!
QuantumSparkles@sh.itjust.works 4 weeks ago
We’re used to a lot of owners and managers of convenience stores (I think this includes corner stores?) and gas stations being naturalized citizens and foreign nationals. Idk how that got started or how widespread it is, how much of it is a true demographic vs confirmation bias of what we see portrayed in entertainment and media—but either way there is a clear concept of people in that line of work, true or not.

Do Americans say “corner shop”? Corner shops are usually UK thing because they are shops that are on the corners of residential streets, hence the name. When the houses were built it was thought that people would need access to convenient shops so they built the street with a shop on it.

Part of this is because for someone in the process of obtaining citizenship in the US it’s actually much easier to legally start a business than it is to legally get a job. And with the decade or so that it can take to become a fully naturalized citizen in the US, folks have to make ends meet somehow so they’ll naturally start a business since that’s the one way they can legally make money until they get a work permit.
This is part of why there’s such a thriving restaurant scene for foreign foods across the entire US, a family will come and pool their time and money to open a small restaurant, and that will be how they survive until everyone gets work permits and eventually naturalized. There’s even a sub-industry of immigrants teaching other immigrants how to start a successful restaurant and what recipes work well for the American pallete. This is where some of the staples of Americanized Mexican and Chinese menus come from for example.
Danquebec@sh.itjust.works 4 weeks ago
In my city, the overwhelming majority of convenience store owners are Chinese.
I should ask the ones near my house how they started.
clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works 4 weeks ago
I imagine him Persian or Arab, because in my limited experience they have been the most charismatic shopkeepers.
blarghly@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
I def thought the same
FishFace@piefed.social 4 weeks ago
Everyone has an accent!
blimthepixie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 weeks ago
Yeah, are they just trying to say foreign?
fenrasulfr@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
The shop owner in the village has this awful accent. Something about baguettes and croissants. Indiciferable as a someone from the Netherlands.
TrickDacy@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
Haha same
PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 4 weeks ago

phx@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
Not sure about these days - other than 7-11 the typical “corner store” seems to be getting increasingly rare - but when I was younger most were generally run by people that I assume were immigrants due to having some accent or other.
helpImTrappedOnline@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
Same here… But in my defense the guy that runs the corner store near me has one, and Apu from Simpsons comes to mind too (the two have completely different accect btw
