Man, dating today is a wild ride. Social media and apps have definitely cranked up the noise—women get bombarded with options, and it skews their expectations big time. Standing out is the real grind, like you said. Once you get their attention, though, it’s often disappointing to find they’re just chasing trends or lack depth for something serious. Keep doing you, though—sounds like you’re sifting through the noise to find someone worth your time. Stay sharp and don’t settle for the normie trap.

You get it. Always disappointing to see how shallow people can be.
It’s funny, I see labels after labels being toss around about the “other” folks. If you were to have an honest discussion with the other persons, do you hear the same thing or will they say something surprising? What’s your guess?
Good question. I think about this a lot and I’m still not sure. I know a lot of stupid people that complain often about how stupid people are. So who is really stupid? Idk. Maybe that’s what Socrates meant when he said “I know nothing.”

I’ve also experienced this. I feel like if it makes me mad, it probably means that I am still resentful of my old views.
