Bad analogy. Vinegar and oil make a tasty vinaigrette but I get your point.
Comment on I've heard it clears up again after the first wave of divorces
BruceTwarzen@lemm.ee 4 months agoTrue, in reality everyone in the ghoul. Dating does become harder the older you get. When you’re 18 and you date an 18 year old, both have very little life and dating experience. You basically mix water with water. When you’re 35, you’re vinegar and even if you like your date, she might be oil and you just don’t mix. You have to compromise, which only gets harder and harder.

Especially if you can open that up to a little basil now and then

I know a 30yo woman that I am interested in, and is 40mins away. The problem is she is not interested. She likes guys that are 20yo and live long distance(other countries), and they all end disastrously. I am just her 34yo friend.

It’s not harder, objectively.
It’s just that people’s expectations aren’t realistic. And nobody is more bitter than average folks who think they are the top 1% of the dating pool.

Social media has destroyed dating for both sexes.

some of it is good. some social media has great/good advice… but that social media isn’t popular.

The attitude of assuming all women you meet are inferior to you (and they’re the ones who have too-high standards?) can also make your dating life miserable, just saying

I’m not assuming anything. I’m reporting how people behave. If I meet someone who is a middle class job and they are telling me I’m a POS loser for not driving car that is worth more than their annual salary, the issue isn’t me.

Date leftists? Like, actual leftists. I know, it’s a small pool in America, but you’d be surprised what’s out there if you join the right community.
TubularTittyFrog@lemmy.world 4 months ago
A good chunk of the people I’m talking about identify as leftists.

I think your definition of leftist and mine are quite different.

Amazing that you turned this into a left/right argument. Are you the CIA?
