Okay hear me out
This is just a weird unrealized thought that isn't all that special I just want to hear some discourse on it. Do you remember that scene from Moneyball, where Jonah Hill's character is talking about how people are judged on a variety of factors? That was relating to baseball and prejudice, but I want to expand on that line of thinking. Prejudice is pretty jacked up, it's unfair to make judgements on someone without knowing but that's entirely what online dating is, no? You have limited space to practically sell yourself to others and they to you. The question I have is, is it in anyway wrong to have certain preferences or tastes? I'm not saying this expecting anyone to change, in all honesty I don't care how anyone feels either way but it's a fun way to analyze.

Yea sadly there is all sorts of unreasonable prejudice out there. But also bias, judgement, prejudice, a part of it is ingrained in our unconscious defence mechanism against predators. For example, the whole stranger danger thing. But to Ur question, no, preferences and tastes is part of who u are. But also if u think it's wrong to have certain preferences and tastes but it depends on what those things are.

Iโm always surprised when I hear people talking about using dating apps, they mention any period theyโre on it and being disappointed it takes so long to find a match they actually like Iโm not surprised by their disappointment but Iโm always surprised by them being in some kind of hurry like they...

how you view someone is always based on the first meet, wether or not it changes in the future is based on how you behave.

Trauma based responses to life can be changed by study and practice of epigenetics. Healing is absolutely possible on all levels once we start to remember our earliest traumatic experiences and choose to forgive, let go and forget. It's not an easy task, but when one wants, one will find a way.โ๏ธ ๐

Criticism
How well do you handle criticism especially from strangers? Does it depend on the mistake or perhaps another factor? I used to correct spelling and grammar until I started to realize how pointless that is so long as I can understand the ideas being conveyed. Language is alive and the rules do... read more

Anyone else read/listen to this?
It's similar to some other works I've read, but much more linear. Also a lot funnier . If you haven't checked it out give it a try.

Isn't it sad that we are dependent on others to be happy? How can one ever be free if our happiness depends on someone else?
