    It’s disturbing how many single women put on their dating profiles how much they hate small talk. Like, how else do you get to know somebody?

      The complaint is about guys who want to text forever and not move forward. Heard that a lot when I was dating hot and heavy. Seems lots of guys are either just lonely and wanting to talk on dating apps or who aren’t bold enough to ask for the date in a timely manner.

      You have to establish, quickly, that there aren’t any screaming red flags, then ask for the first date. If dating isn’t what you’re there for, go find something else to do.

      It’s also a filter for wishy-washy men. Sorry guys, women like men who are decisive. Which a lot of men take to mean “be a controlling jerk”. Not the same, not even close.

        There could be some sort of gray area between the two options of a) whiny wet napkin and b) aggressive asshole?

        We should put some Bro Scientists on exploring this ASAP
