My cousin doesn't understand what I mean when I tell him I'm really not a "catch" anymore than an old boot or used tire is a "catch."
He says I'm "attractive" which is nice to know as I never really thought I was, but there's way more than just that which is what you "bring to a relationship."
Video games, gardening, and general science/space nerd isn't exactly bringing much to a relationship lol add on my lack of education, dead end factory job, general distaste for concerts, the beach, and dogs and I might as well be Hitler lol
Its about how you frame the information. Your framing sounds negative when there is actually quite a lot of positive traits there. Just leave out the dislike of dogs or you'll get cooked.
The only girl to ever reach out to me on a dating site (that wasn't a bot) without me starting the conversation only did so to suggest I removed the bit about not wanting to own a dog lol
I just noticed that like 99.999999999999999% of women's profiles mention dogs, some even start with something about dogs, so I figured I'd just be upfront about it and let them filter me out if it's that important to them. It really is a "dealbreaker" for me, so I've just kind of accepted that I'm going to stay single lol
