Time for me to post a completely unhelpful rant about the current state of dating and women. Humour me for a minute, then we can all get on with our lives again.
I've got a bug up my a$$ about two things.
Firstly, the profiles, Jesus Christ. I mean I get it, it stands to reason that the vast majority are going to be dull, humourless, and unimaginative because that's all the average person is capable of. Nothing new there. But where are the exceptional female profiles? They should exist, but I'll be damned if I can find any. I've read thousands of profiles over the last decade, and the best ones will have one or two things going for them: a little glimmer of self-awareness or an original joke to get your hopes up... and then BAM, it's straight back into the same Eat Pray Love inspired bullsh!t you've heard a thousand times before. The "good" ones only stand out because the rest are so damn bad.
I'm not saying I'm exceptional, or that that I deserve an exceptional woman - I'm saying there are no exceptional female profiles - and that's weird. (Actually, I can think of some pretty reasonable explanations, but why spoil the fun).
Secondly, the rampant "career" hopping has been irritating me more than usual of late. You know what I'm talking about here. She had a perfectly decent/productive/boring job, but now she's studying Psych to pursue a more fulfilling (and lower paid) career as a social worker. Not the slightest bit of shame about it - and I think it's because women never consider that men might evaluate them as liabilities or burdens - that's a huge failing on their part.
