Dating apps break my heart. A woman said to me, “You are lucky you look young. You are still marketable”…marketable. When will we stop treating each other like commodites? I have since climbed out of the dating pool. I’d rather drift on the sea. That kind of surfing has the wrong kind of energy.
Oh yes, so true! 🙂

Unfortunately. It just doesn’t feel right for me. I just have to go with that.

Reblogged this on Notes and commented:
I am guilty of doing the same (swiping right) to many, many ladies on dating sites and Maria just made me realize with just a few yet powerful words. The same type of ladies might have swiped right my profile too in return. But one of us can definitely do better like Maria pointed out.
I have no clue how it happens on the women side, but for us men, makeup and sometimes a good professional photographer is all it takes for me to swipe a women to the left.
Unfortunately, that (shopping) behavior seems to reflect upon us meeting in person as well. I have hundreds, if not thousands of such first date stories to testify that sad fact.
None of us takes anyone seriously. That is unacceptable, and disrespectful. But sadly, that is a truth we have to live with. Hopefully people like Maria will keep on using her gift of writing to make us realize and become better individuals like herself.

Yes! I love this! I hate that it needs to be said, but you said it greatly and in so few words too.

Energy draws to you the things that you are meant to explore. I don’t want to go “shopping”. I think you know what I mean?
