Nooooooo, I was very deliberately and explicitly talking about men and women with fantasy/fantastic expectations.I cant' believe you have sympathy for the woman for the unrealistic standards. This is why we'll never see eye-to-eye, you will always circle back to putting the woman in a good light.
I don't lie. It was awhile ago. Not likely 10 years, but not in the last 3 for sure. Though not just once/not just on one platform. And I'm not in the 20s age-band.You must have been paying, no app allows you to filter by those anymore for free, or else you're lying. Or it was 10 years ago or so.
Only point of my comment was - I saw a lot of nice-looking, at least somewhat sentient women, once filtered for a basic level of education and reasonably stable seeming income, and their profiles seemed more or less fine (not flaky, not insane, not angry).
I didn't offer this as "proof" of anything, merely that when I did some minor, curious looking, I saw a lot of decent-seeming women, at least on the face of it. Nothing more than that.
Absolutely, and that applies across the board. I am not engaged in online dating now, but I was, on and off, for a long time. I've been on a billion dates, mostly fine-to-good, some hilariously awful. I've also had dating and more serious relationships that developed out of meeting online (also ranging from fine to horrible). There is absolutely a lot of false advertising out there. I know that is true for men and have no reason to think women don't do it, too.Also, appearances can be deceiving.
I'm going to be gentle here. But I think I have said or alluded to elsewhere that although I believe that bad people are 100% accountable for the bs and damage they do, if we (any of us) repeatedly get involved with bad people, it may be useful to reflect 360. I can speak about that in more detail, but understand I am not "blaming the victim."I have never been with a mentally sound woman in my life. Every single one of them ended up being trainwreck or a sociopath.
I literally know none of those types, so that's probably not the right answer.Either that, or you're very comfortable with your average woke, socialist woman, who is more the norm today than not.
And yet I am a woman. And you have personalized your comments and challenges to "me" multiple times.You don't, but most women do. We aren't arguing about you.
Dude, I'm a grown woman of a certain age, not an out-of-touch relic. And I'm certainly no noob online or otherwise, culturally.Have you kept up on the modern culture? A laaaaarge number of women call themselves "witches" now.
I have no answer for you on why it's a current fad among women of your age, or older. I do know quite a few young (very late teens/early 20s) women, and none of them are deep into that. A few like it more than others, but none super-deep. Of the ones I know who have been into mystical stuff, from what I've seen, a) they tend to use it as a mode to feel a connection with the larger world, or to find peace internally, and b) they tend to outgrow it as a major life-element when they find or require more practical focus elsewhere. I am not being dismissive of those who do find lasting value in it, just relaying observations of the popular phenomenon.
And it's OK you don't like women who are into those things. Exclude them from your pool. I'm a little puzzled why they irritate you so much. If they're not for you, keep moving.
Tragique.I've already banged my head on a wall called "womankind"
There's not a bone in my body that believes a healthy and real relationship with a woman where both sides give evenly is possible. I couldn't even picture it in my head.
