During this past year, as I was helping guys with their online dating efforts, I noticed how many of them are turned off by the same words that they see in women’s dating profiles over and over, especially here in the San Francisco area. All of these red flags in women’s dating profiles seem to …
The other day I glanced at a friend’s Bumble inbox. Every girl messaged him the same thing – “Are you originally from the bay area?” At first, this looked really lame and unoriginal to me, but then I thought – how can I blame the girls for sending these types of message, and how can …
We humans are far from perfect and far from being perfectly logical. Our perception, rather than objective facts, determine our responses to what we hear and see.
