More fake profile indicators on dating sites

@zonavar68 I’ve dated some really cute guys of varying body shapes, sizes & heights. They’ve been a lot younger than me, but they have been attractive.

@marsbar I don't know what makes a guy attractive to a woman. I can only present the genuine/honest portrayal of myself and if that isn't good enough then it's not my problem. It does bother me though that people I know are in succussful long-term relationships even in my field of work and everything I try just crashes and burns. I always feel like I'm doing something wrong, so it gives a really dark overtone to anything about dating. it's a kind of FOMO I guess but nothing to do with technology.

@zonavar68 I agree.

@smileylovesgaming Couples promote themselves as couples if they are genuine and not all dating sites permit couples profiles. Women are not marketing their family when listing on a dating site.

@HoochieTheClown that is a possibility too I suppose

@ExperienceDLT can't talk about the 'wrong' shit as it's politically incorrect to call out what's 'wrong' in the world these days. ;-)

@zonavar68 🤨

@MARTAisback A lot is a gross understatement. I'm at the point where I'm sick of being genuine/honest because it gets a person nowhere when it comes to dating (either via sites or in real life).

@HoochieTheClown I haven't done that sort of thing but my last date was a disaster because I was there on time, the other person was 20 minutes late, thought nothing of it, and basically wasn't interested from the outset. Only lasted half an hr and she called up her 'uber' (ie daughter) to come pick her up.

@zonavar68 the last person I tried to date wanted to basically rearrange my entire life all the way down to how I identify, anyways long story short we had a pretty nasty breakup and I have not even thought about wanting to date since then. If you sit down and think about it though, dating is just more hassle than what it's worth. It's like there's that 10% of fun you get to have but then the other 90% of it is just bullshit to deal with

@HoochieTheClown I guess in late teens and 20's it's only about sex and nothing else, then in 30's and 40's it's about families, and in 50's it's about 'i will deny all my baggage and pretend i have no life experience' bullshit.

@DropTopDig No more or less that trying to date people in real life, sadly.
