En el episodio de hoy hablo de cultura española, y de algo que puede causar un choque cultural cuando visites España si en tu país no es algo común. Hablo de las palabras afectivas en el día a día, donde las puedes escuchar y quien las suele utilizar. Y el límite con el acoso callejero que no es lo mismo y está penado.

Como siempre, espero que disfrutes este episodio, si es así, ¡no te olvides de dejar una valoración! Y, dime, ¿qué piensas de esto? ¿En tu país también se usan este tipo de palabras para ser amable?

百岁老人的人生建议 Centenarians’ Life Advice

If you're looking to make a good first impression on a dating app, from your POV, you might think it would be a good idea to send a text using lots of abbreviations to make it seem like you're BFFs with the person you're texting.

But FWIW, according to a recent study from Stanford University and the University of Toronto, nobody likes receiving text abbreviations — not even young people.

Don't know those abbreviations? "POV" means "point of view," "BFF" means "best friend forever," and "FWIW" is "for what it's worth"!

Researchers studying the use of such abbreviations did a number of studies with several thousand people, and they found that texts using abbreviations were less likely to get replies. And writers using abbreviations were more likely to be seen as insincere.

Of course, we all use abbreviations — in one survey, it was found that 99% of people said they used them. But the researchers found that people don't like receiving texts with abbreviations, because rather than making them feel closer to the other person, it felt like the other person wasn't putting much effort into the conversation.

And while young people are even more likely to use abbreviations, they still felt that people who used them were insincere. Young people were also less likely to reply to such messages.

Lead researcher David Fang said we often put different amounts of effort into our conversations to show how important the other person is to us.

So it might be fine to put little effort into, say, a quick message to a delivery driver. But Fang said his team's results are especially important for people who really want to make a good impression — like at the beginning of a relationship!
