I actually dont know if this is the case. However, Ive noticed how picky people can be while dating about such surface level things. The second someone shows any basic "flaw"/ whatever it is that makes them unique or if the "initial spark" dissipates, the surface level appearance is now the forefront again and here comes an ick. I get that we all like what we like. But if youve moved past multiple first dates and decided to like them why not give them a chance? Its just in the dating scene it seems people arent being realistic about what it takes to have the "long term relationship" they say they want.
Eventually you go to enough places to date that you revisit or end up hanging in the same places...we already do that on our own and that standard is dangled over peoples heads like we signed up to be entertainer tour guides who always put on a show. With family and friends the most basic flaws dont speak for their whole being the way it does with dating. And its like people are taking themselves too seriously. And I dont mean red flags I mean simple mannerisms that occur when theyre both attracted to and get along with them well. I just feel like people need to lighten up a bit. I have never seen any form of closeness where both people never eventually annoy each other. Harmful traits should be more prioritized to look out for.
