Is it possible to find a genuine connection here?

It’s pretty hard because we’re wired to present an embellished version of ourselves online. When we make connections based on those made up identities and personalities, disappointment is guaranteed. Men feel the need to finesse their way into connections because, let’s be real, there’s a secret wish by female social media users to fall on “Prince Charming” that change their life or at offer a life changing opportunity. Men have learned fake it just to stay in touch. If a normal friendship was not based on “hope it could be more”, people would be more genuine. But no. Especially for people under 55, they choose friends based on hotness and opportunities.
