Ok, so with the exception of the commitment type, everybody else is totally screwed up. I am not disagreeing (Of course, I put myself in the commitment type, mostly), but it sure seems like a bleak portrayal. I presume this reflects a skewed sample (those on dating apps), but maybe not. I have encountered some of the same rampant dysfunction in the female side of the dating scene. Well, not the female equivalent of “Fuck boy” (darn it!), but a lot of the others. I am operating with an older group and naively expected more maturity and wisdom. Unfortunately just a lot of the same issues in older bodies. I am approaching this as a grand experiment. Gathering information while waiting to connect with that special someone. And trying to do so with empathy. We are all doing the best that we know.
