As a single man in todays world I feel something similar from the opposite side of the spectrum. I have a job, I’m responsible, I cook, I clean, I budget, I care for myself as well as a dog.

Most early relationships feel like I’m either someone’s easy out from a bad situation, or they just tell me what they think I want to hear while having no follow through. This makes it nearly impossible to truly get a feel for who someone is.

I personally feel we’re all desperate for connection, but online dating has become shopping at Amazon versus browsing through a random store and finding what you need. We’re provided an algorithm of options and I think compatibility is more complicated than that.

I agree with a majority of this though and to be honest it also makes me feel like I should prepare to die alone.
