Why you shouldn't listen to


Have you ever gotten paranoid so looked up a quiz to see if your bf/gf loves you or how much they love you or if they're cheating on you or anything else of the like?


The fact you're reading this tells me you probably have at some point or the next. Maybe you thought your relationship was going well so looked up the quiz just for confirmation and then it told you that your partner doesn't love you. Or you have trust issues so looked up a quiz to reassure yourself they're not cheating and it told you they were when in fact they weren't, or vice versa where it told you they weren't, only to find out they were.


Now here is the thing: These quizzes aren't accurate.


I remember taking one which told me my current boyfriend doesn't care about me, which I thought was weird considering he's always seemed to have shown genuine care towards me even back when we were just friends - He speaks to me (even if just on social media) every day, comforts me when I'm down, tries to help me when I need it, respects my religious views, knows when something is bothering me and tries to find out what, hugs me, asks me questions and continuously asks if I still love him. He shows a lot of care towards me yet this quiz was telling me he didn't care at all.


I restarted the quiz and answered it accordingly to how I would've back when I was dating my ex. It told me he wasn't cheating at all and that he loved me, which was weird because my ex actually did cheat on me and showed little care towards me when I was with him - He once more a less told me he was thinking about cheating on me and was going to call the whole thing off and then changed his mind and went to bed feeling sorry for himself knowing that I was still upset, he would try and rush me into going out with him even though we were already pretty much dating and I was loyal to him (The only reason it wasn't official was due to an age gap and me wanting to get to know him more), when I asked if we could sit down after eating because I knew I would get a stomatch ache, he completly ignored me, and then he started seeing a girl behind my back and wasn't even going to tell me about it. Yet according the quiz, he loved me!


This just goes to show unreliable these online quizzes can be, I'm sure sometimes they get things right but they are not the most reliable source of information.


I also have a pretty good idea as to why these quizzes are so inaccurate: They don't have enough options.


All people and all relationships are different


So maybe a quiz has asked you how often your partner kisses you but they haven't yet because you've only just started going out and haven't yet had the chance too, but the only options on the quiz are "All the time", "Often", "Sometimes", "Not often" and "Never" so you have to pick "Never" which makes it sound like your partner is being unaffectionate even when that's really not the case.


Or maybe the quiz asks you how often you have sex with them but you don't because of your religious views or you just want to wait longer but again, the quiz doesn't have an option for that so when you answer "Never" it makes it sound like your partner is disinterested in you when again, that is not actually the case.


Sometimes the answer to a question is a "No, because.." or a "Yes, but..." but those options are rarely considered in these quizzes which is why they give inaccurate answers.


Thank you for reading, sorry if it was long and apologies for any grammar mistakes I made.
