      This is why it is harder now. There are too many options for people to be serious and focus on qualities that make a good partner. Instead they focus on qualities that make for an entertaining date.

      👀not all guys are 6 feet as for having abs if u post their pics online women call u douche. If u are standup comedian they call u joke. When u have money women want ur money not u. And the women that we get are complacent. Gender ratio online is fked up by the way.
