Sounds like a real minefield out there.  |
Dating in today's society is much like porn auditions if it is to be done correctly.

I'll agree to this. Should we start Isle Bimmer Post?

Guess we'd all better get used to it because it's not going anywhere anytime soon....sadly. |
I honestly found that internet dating sites lowered my self esteem. You are putting yourself out there in hopes that someone will bite, when no one does you begin to wonder what is wrong with me. Once I shut down all my dating sites/apps I felt better about myself. To be honest, in this area of the rural south it's nothing but a bunch of overweight government assistance advantage taking, low income, uneducated, entitled women who think they should be worshiped along with supporting their 5 kids whose 3 separated daddy's are in jail for manufacturing methamphetamine or not paying child support. Not even worth the time....and to think, these are the people that allowing you to feel bad about yourself. Nah....personally I'm better than that.
I learned to adapt and become in control of my emotions. I learned to not want what I thought I wanted and redirect my focus elsewhere. Kind of like shooting the hostage type mentality. |
There's also a reason a lot of these women are on dating sites.
For some, they truly have a hard time meeting people due to work schedule, location, being shy, etc. Those are few and far between though. Many of them just have mental issues or want the gratification for their egos.
I remember taking a college sociology class that studied dating sites and the percentages of what people actually were looking for. Surveys were distributed, and the results indicated that small percentages of women actually swiped right on anyone, and an even smaller percentage wanted relationships or hookups. Most wanted the attention, which makes sense considering the nature of social media. Guys had a higher percentage of hookups, but had a similar amount of attention seeking/ego building.
