Why Does Everyone Here Seem To Hate Buenos Aires So Much?

[lamarque]

The problem with people who are all the time complaining about things is that it is contagious, in a short period if you read them you will be complaining as well and more time you pass with them more bitter of a person you will become, Even When it maybe not Affecting you or is Affecting positively and you should be happy, that's because people have the ability of empathy that help us putting in the position of the other but when you get to involve in a forum that is all the time complaining then this same ability play you in a negative way and make you feel as if that would be happening to you in other words more miserable, example blue dollars ,there is people that is getting benefited with it but when i talk to that people about it they get stressed, if you are one of the person That Get influenced in a negative way of course is Normal that you complain but try to not let it Affect you personally, Because just complaining and bitching is not going to Improve Your situation in the opposite it will just make you more miserable. (i know is maybe not the best example but don't let you be distracted with the example just try to understand the content of the msg), Probably all of you before the wave of complains where not so bitters about everything but i'm sure that now you complain about stuff that you would never complain before

That why i suggest some time to not read this forum so much (unless it get more positive and less temperamental) just extract the useful info you need and get away from here if you are new specially, as if you read this forum long enough you could finish thinking that you are in Irak in the middle of the war, in other words it going to make your day darker than it was : (


Try to be more positive (don't become so porteños ) about thing if you cannot then you have learn nothing of your life trip chill out and try to enjoy, don't complain about everything unless that is the thing that make you enjoy life and that is quite sad lol

That is nor what I read from robwerve original statement and if I do it correctly then your irate/childish reply only serves to prove his point.

He clearly typed "argentinean", referring to people permeability to unfavorable-unpleasant observations and criticism in general.
He did not say the country or other conceptual entities were not open to negative comments but that the folk reacted to it badly on a personal level, even when its not called for.

You might want to read slowly and take your time before formulating such passionate replies.

May I ask how old are you?

Hahaha...see above for a choice example of selective editing ! The girl actively goes on to illustrate how people from Argentina actively accept criticism and share in the complaining. This is my experience.

I can't, and wouldn't, speak for anyone else.

If you start a thread revolving around the world "Hate", you shouldn't expect people that show up to wear flowers, hold hands and sing Kumbaya.
Then complain that they're too pesimistic or that they lack basic understanding or missing the point of what their life here is all about.

Just sayin'

Dublin2BuenosAires, the message you quoted had robwerwe's approval.

I think she gets her self in a confusing muddle with this post.

Either way it comes across as she doesn't like criticism.

To you, not to me. It comes across that she is trying to explain that locals will defend football, beef and wine as they have had it drummed into them, but that they are quick to agree with criticisms (possibly too quick, i think she said..) about lots of other stuff.

Anyway, this is really quite childish and I pretty disappointed in myself for getting sucked in. I'm out. Bicker on !

This love hate relationship with BA leads nowhere, a waste of time and energy , the old adagio applies
Love it or Leave it...!!

I really like Buenos Aires. I can't say I love it as I've lived other places that really stand out as being great cities to live in. That being said, BsAs has a lot to offer in spite of the economic and political idiocy - and rude people, dog sh*t on the broken sidewalks, random crime, lunatic drivers, unreliable infrastructure, and overall mediocre-to-bad service.

The pizza does needs some help and I wish there were more options for food. Today, the team in my office couldn't decide on where to get lunch. We fretted for a bit and then realized that there are really three options - empenadas, pizza, and steak. Our office is right in the middle of Recoleta. Some of the Argentines who had been to the US were talking about the food options there - Japanese, Chinese, Middle-eastern, Indian, East European, Mexican, etc, all within walking distance.

Haters are gonna hate.

 

[robwerwe]

there are really two options - empenadas, pizza, and steak.

Isn't that 3?
