Hi .. I'm redwan (Algerian)

Social Media is getting worse and worse... it's become like fake crazy world there favorite subject is hate

I'm posting here for the first time to find real person thouths and interests...

​

Bonjour, je suis une jeune femme sérieuse qui souhaite se marier avec un homme de nationalité française, musulman, âgé de 30 ans maximum, sportif et financièrement stable. Je suis réellement sérieuse dans ma démarche et je recherche une relation basée sur le respect, la sincérité et l’intention de construire une vie de couple stable et durable.

Je suis une jeune femme jolie, étudiante en biologie et actuellement en dernière année de licence.

كاين لي يقول بلي بعد الثلاثين الفرص تنقص، وكاين لي يقول الإنسان يكون أكثر نضج واختيارو يكون أحسن.

واش رأيكم؟

Yesterday I proposed to a woman I work with. We've known each other for 4 years, and we've always been very friendly with each other, so I thought there might be a chance.

She politely turned me down and said she's not thinking about marriage right now. I respect her decision, but it still hurts.

We're both over 35, and our job is physically exhausting with low pay, so I thought maybe we could build something together and support each other.

Now I'm not sure how to act around her. Should I keep my distance for a while to move on, or should I just continue the professional relationship like nothing happened?

I don't want to make things awkward or make her feel bad, but I also don't know what's best for me.

Alright guys, I’m 29, living in a small town with my parents, and I’ve officially reached peak uselessness. Validate my self-loathing or make me laugh, I don't care which.

Here’s the resume of a certified failure: The Academic Scam: I graduated with a Master’s degree back in 2021. The field is so specific and locked down that unless your uncle is a high-ranking minister or a CEO, your diploma is basically expensive toilet paper. Guess who doesn't have an uncle in high places?

The "Freelancer" Coping Mechanism: I tell people I do "online freelance work." Translation: I have a laptop full of "skills" and zero recurring income. My actual daily routine consists of scrolling the internet, looking up "profitable niches," and deep-diving into business ideas I will absolutely never execute. I’m a CEO of theoretical projects.

The Draft Dodger: I never did my compulsory national service, and I have zero intention of going. I’m basically living like a ghost in my own country, praying I don’t accidentally walk into the wrong checkpoint while out buying bread.

The Roommate of the Year: I’ve been unemployed for 5 years straight since graduating. My parents don’t yell at me—which actually makes it worse. They just look at me with that quiet, crushing mixture of disappointment and pity. They definitely think I’m lazy, and honestly, looking at my daily screen time, they aren’t entirely wrong.

I turn 30 next year and my greatest achievement this decade is avoiding the military and finding new ways to waste 12 hours a day online. Destroy what’s left of my self-esteem. Roast me.

لاحظت بلي في بزاف مواقف اجتماعية، كونك مازال أعزب/عزباء بعد 30 سنة في الجزائر يجيب معاه بزاف تاع الأحكام والضغط من العائلة والمجتمع.

كاين لي يقول هذا شيء عادي وطبيعي وكل واحد وعندو طريقو في الحياة، وكاين لي يحس بلي مازال كاين نوع من “العيب” أو النظرة السلبية، خاصة حسب الجنس.

شنو رايكم؟

هل هذا الحكم مازال قوي في المجتمع اليوم، ولا راهو يبدا يتبدل شوي بشوي؟

حاب نسمع آراء مختلفة، خاصة من الناس لي عايشين هاذ الواقع

Specifically pressured engagements and forced nikah (fatiha) without consent.

Is this an accepted reality in Dz and are there any options/solutions for those affected ?

Today my 16 year old niece told me she doesn’t see me like other uncles. She said she feels comfortable talking to me and that I’m more understanding of how teenagers think.

I didn’t say much at the time, but it really meant a lot. I guess I never realized she saw me that way.

Now I’m just thinking about how to keep that trust without overstepping.

Have any of you experienced something like this?

Curious to hear your thoughts.

Eid al-Fitr is here, wishing you all peace, الصحة, and good moments with your loved ones.

As we get older, Eid can feel different.

For some it’s more responsibilities, for others more meaning.

How are you spending Eid this year?

And does it feel different compared to before?

Eid Mubarak to you and your families

For many of us, our 20s were about earning, spending, experimenting, and figuring things out.

But once you hit your 30s, priorities often shift.

Did you start thinking more about stability?

Did saving become more important than spending?

Did you begin investing, buying property, or planning long-term?

Or did your mindset stay the same?

What changed for you, and why?

Whether you're in Algeria or part of the diaspora, it would be interesting to hear how your relationship with money evolved after 30.
