Haha I could write a book on the horrible dating profiles Ive seen. " not into games" " not into drama" " hate liars" " my kids come first " most of the profiles just cause eye rolls because they all are from the same script. And most often scream red flags. I think the biggest problem is often the profiles come across as defensive and nagging right out of the gate. Just combative. Plus there's usually the issue of them having the attention span of a gnat. And nowadays women primarily use Instagram as a dating app. I call " dating app for those in denial about online dating " so if she has Facebook, Instagram and dating apps rest assured she's getting countless messages. She in theory doesn't even have to write a profile. Just post a few pics and the " good morning beautiful " messages will start hitting her inbox. The problem is that too many choices and options are not good for mental health in my opinion because it causes indecisiveness long term.

@nietzschesmuse exactly. Whenever someone says they " hate drama" or whatever, rest assured its usually because they hate competition. If they hate liars, expect some lies. People in general are hypocritical however realizing that prevents a self aware person from saying " I hate x,y,z" when someone says they hate games, its because they're starting to lose at them. But when they were winning, better believe they played them.

@nietzschesmuse I understand. You have to ask yourself a question though. What drew you to him? Oftentimes we'll complain about an ex, and the question arises " if they're horrible why aren't you relieved they're no longer in your life?" The answer usually lies in our self perception. 99 people can tell us we're terrific and beautiful, yet the mind will fixate on the one person that decided we weren't all that. Even if we broke it off. Sometimes when a person breaks things off its an attempt to get the other person to pursue, or to see the error of their ways. It can become an obsession proving the other person wrong. Sadly most relationships aren't about love but power.
