I was looking for some information about forum communities, and how others advertise their selves.
After I found out about FP, I found the posts pretty interesting.. plus, it goes all the way back to 2007, so I felt that the website should be trustworthy.
The community is interesting, I like to read people their posts and comments, just to see other's their perspective on these topics.

What is something that makes you immediately dislike someone?

This is actually a funny story.
I started drinking coffee back in 2016, I never liked coffee before. I used to try the cappuccino of my father (by adding loads of sugar), but I didn't like it that much.
In my city, The Hague, The Netherlands, there were 4 Starbucks Stores and I always passed one. I wanted to try the "hype" of Starbucks. I saw it in movies, commercials, Facebook... everywhere!
Even though I didn't like coffee that much... I wanted to give it a try. So when I entered the Store I told them it is my first time at Starbucks and I wanted to give it a try but I don't know what to order. They told me, if I like sweet stuff, I should try a Vanilla latte, but... this woman said: to make sure you like it, I will add 7 vanilla shots. (There are 2 in one already, so 9 vanilla shots in total).
Now, you can imagine that as a kid that loves sweet stuff, I loved it. Damn sweet, but so good.
So I kept on ordering vanilla lattes with 7 extra vanilla shots... for over 2 years.
Now, then this happened: I used to travel quite a lot to Paris because I really liked the city, shopping and I had some friends there. One day I went with my friends to a Starbucks in Paris, and I asked for 7 shots... (forgetting to tell them VANILLA shots). I paid almost 14 euros for my coffee... which was insane because in Netherlands they never charged me for these extra vanilla shots, but... bon.. The French 👀🇫🇷. After I got my coffee and took my first sip, I realized why this coffee was 14 euros. They added 7 ESPRESSO shots. So 9 espresso shots in total. (I returned the coffee and got a normal vanilla latte instead, without the 7 shots). After that I stopped ordering the Vanilla Latte and its 7 extra vanilla shots.. From that day on I ordered normal Latte's and add a little bit of sugar.
Now as I just had my morning coffee so the caffeine kicked in, makes me talk too much 👀 long story short and to answer your questions.. The reasons behind my username, I just like the hype of Starbucks. Nowadays I only go to Starbucks to meet up with friends, or just work a bit, but since I live in Argentina now and traveled quite a lot, I didn't go that much to Starbucks anymore. Usually I go to other cafeterias. Just at the airports it is my regular coffee-stop ✈️
However, I still like the interior at Starbucks, and its work environment.. full of people with MacBooks 🧑🏼💻
As I used to work at Apple and always arrived with a Starbucks Coffee we always joked around about it, some colleagues even proudly showed me when they bought a Starbucks coffee... or we had some non-confidential meetings at... well, guess what.. Starbucks!
Here's a photo I just screenshot from my Instagram Stories 📸:

What kind of sense of humor do you have?

I like dark and black humor.
As I'm very extrovert, I easily talk to people and also like to joke around a bit. Especially here in Argentina, people talk a lot, and they also like to joke around with me. As I never get offended, they also use dark humor towards me.
Something that happened last weekend actually;
I was at a party of a friend and she introduced me to some of her friends. As I walked around their house I talked to some people, I asked them what they were drinking and mixing, and they made me try different stuff. At one point two of them started bring different drinks and sodas to mix. Then, My friend, that introduced me to some people, passed by and saw that her friends were "serving" me. (In fact, they were just bringing some drinks that I haven't tried before).
She looked and joked.. and I quote:
"Of course, the White European makes sure he get served by the Latinas at the swimming pool, how history repeats itself".

Or jokes about me "colonizing" their things, First-World People Complains and so on. I laugh a lot about it. I've never been offended by a joke, and also make comebacks about their economy, or.. other things. But before making these jokes, I'm first observing who's into that or not, because I don't want to offend anyone. I think it I important you first check-in if that person is actually accepting these types of jokes haha!

What do you consider your greatest quality?

To be honest... I don't own a car and I don't have a driver license. In Netherlands the public transport is extremely well organized, and we use the bike quite often. Now... in Argentina this is much less organized and the traffic is... a little chaotic to me sometimes so I prefer to catch a Taxi. 🚕
The last few months I have been thinking about getting my driver license in Argentina, because I would like to travel around in Argentina by car and visit smaller towns. Getting a driver license here is pretty easy... so I might consider it 👀
Regarding the car... I'm not sure. I love the car designs of BMW, Mini Cooper, Range Rover and some Audi's. I like Tesla a lot as well, but in Argentina that could cause a problem.
I think Range Rover would be the coolest to buy and most efficient to drive with in Argentina. 😁
What about you, which car do you like?

My creativity for sure. I really like to be creative and combine that with business opportunities. I've done plenty of projects, and I really enjoy every single one of them. Currently I am working on a project with the United Nations, which involves also a lot of creativity.
I also think that I am pretty good at finding solutions, as this also requires creativity I guess.

I like KLM (🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱) and Air France (🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷).
I also have good experiences with BritishAirways.
Lately I am using Aerolíneas Argentinas a lot. They are also very comfortable and have a great service.
Edit: I forgot about Norwegian. Their service was also pretty good and their planes had a great interior design. Bigger windows, big touch screens etc.
But from all the airlines I find Emirates the best, however, they usually don't fly to the destinations I need to travel to.
