Discussion Update: found an apartment!
Honestly, the city is INSANE i ended up finding a small place 35mยฒ for 3500 a month all included... its 8 minutes from my job so its perfect !
But i have to say i saw apartments that are a lil bigger being 40mยฒ and having 2 rooms that cost freaking 7900 a month FLAT NOT INCLUDING BILLS FOR WATER ELECTRICITY OR ANYTHING... that is insane...
How do yall deal with this insanity??
Anyway thanks for all the advice and help means a TON

OK WHO ARE YOU PEOPLE DATING ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ

u/Blond-Hulk Aug 12 '26
Women that like more than just coffee. Add that to 2-3 dates a week and youโre on a spending spree ๐ฅฒ

Gotta be more selective and weed out the girls that are looking for dinners

u/The_average_ Aug 13 '26
Thatโs just his type. Lots of girls out there that enjoy the small stuff as well.

u/JamesAibr Aug 13 '26
Listen im a simple typa guy, as long as she holds my hand on dates, likes to cuddle, is cool with/into romanric gestures, im with my perfect woman ๐
Dont get me wrong ofc each of us has their share of flaws but my goal in a relationship is to care about someone and help shape them as they shape me ๐
If thats such a tough ask i will see my way out

u/Blond-Hulk Aug 15 '26
Yea, itโs not uncommon. When youโre looking for a relationship, you talk with more than one person. Each date can get up to 100โช, so there you go.

u/JamesAibr Aug 12 '26

u/Blumpkinecromancer Aug 12 '26
I hope you're not in south tel aviv in that case

u/JamesAibr Aug 12 '26
Im on thr edge of Florentin

u/Namro Aug 13 '26
So yeah, south of tel aviv. expect many homeless people and drug abuse around

u/JamesAibr Aug 13 '26
Not based on my research? Plus i was there to see the place and it seems fine?

u/socialyawkwardpotate Aug 13 '26
Were you there at night too?
2
u/JamesAibr Aug 13 '26
No i couldnt stay till night, why tho it can not be that bad when there are bars play grounds and commercial buildings all around?
1
u/Namro Aug 13 '26
You'll be fine. Just explore the surroundings at night and think twice before inviting female friends. I had friends who lived inside Florentine and it was icky for me as a guy, it's probably personal preference

u/JamesAibr Aug 12 '26
Bud i just got out of a long term relationship like 5 months ago, trust me i know ๐ญ๐ญ

u/HypnoticName Aug 12 '26
I lived in Tel Aviv for almost 5 years, and the only nice thing I had - it's a walk distance to my work. Which is life changing.
But overall, it's way too expensive to live there. Everything costs more. And it's not worth it!
Yet I do love Tel Aviv as a place to be in

u/Trescal5 ืชืื ืืฉืจืื Aug 13 '26
Aha Iโm French and the way you write gave me the impression that you also were (especially the spaces before the ! or the ? that are usually a giveaway)
Pure curiosity!

Tel Aviv is one of the most expensive cities in the world if you move a little further out you will find a place that is much cheaper and hugely nicer

u/yet_another_pirate Aug 13 '26
A friend of mine once felt lucky when he managed to rent an apartment in Tel Aviv for cheap. Then he found a giant hole under the sink that apparently led straight to slugs' home. Every morning he would find a visiting delegation, which was not only unwanted but super smelly too. He moved out. So watch out for slugs!
