I will be honest, I know quite a few people on dating apps and it's like they have a revolving door of people, never a stable relationship.

Usually, I can tell why they like me based on the context. That could be a good question based on the context, but it could make me sound too elementary too. So, go by context is always best.

Revolving door is a great way to describe the nature of our social dynamics in society today, I think.

Reminds me of that Crazy Town song a little, lol.

" some people say I look like Jason Momoa "
"OK, send more pics please "
"You know what's sexier than a bad boy? A grown-ass man with his stuff together."
"OK send pics, please "
“Has anyone ever told you that you look like [fill in name of obscure actor/actress].”
"OK send me your pics please "
"human biology dictates that there is a picky gender (women) based on how important it is for her to reproduce effectively - men don't "reproduce" in the sense of pregnancy and rearing "
"Ok , send me more pictures she said "

True. However, when I have seen a breakdown of a relationship, it is because there is too much reading of the mind and very little explicit sharing of affection. My married friends, the ones who have been together for 25+ years, rely on the basics. They compliment each other, tell each other how lucky they are to know each other, and tell why they like things about each other. While they married each other because they checked off all the right boxes and "know" they chose the right person, appreciation of day-to-day behavior is not an invisible act. That was the effort I was talking about.

Thank you Mink.

As an update any of you may or may not have wanted to know about this particular d&d guy, I just found out that he is actually moving to his parents' home state. But he is moving because he managed to get a boyfriend in that state and not cause he had to move back to his parents. I'm surprised, but he must've changed his ways or that guy must've known rpgs hard core like him. Oh well.
