Pretending to Have REAL Hobbies for LOVE!
76If there's one thing that you all need to know about relationships is that lies are not a good foundation of it.
"Simply pretending to have hobbies has dramatically increased my success in dating apps."
Yeah, that's your first very big mistake there. Do not use dating apps. They are filled with people who are terminally online. There are many people out there who haven't even posted a single thing in social media or even know anything about the internet discourse. Those people tend to be the least psychotic, and you can only get them by actually going out and talking to people.
The second mistake is that you are pretending to have hobbies. Even if the women in dating apps are really good catches that are mentally stable in mind and soul, pretending to have hobbies is building that relationship foundation based on lies. Then again, people lie on their resume all the time, and some of them actually got the jobs that they got. So, what do I know, right?
It's even worse when the hobby is something that you don't like. I haven't been to a climbing gym before, but it does look really fun, and my brother has been into one. He thinks it's absolutely fantastic. It's a shame that you don't enjoy that because that is a pretty good hobby to have. Working out is never a bad thing to anyone.
The next hobby is walking about 5 minutes down the trail in a nearby nature preserve. That actually sounds fantastic as a once-in-a-while activity. You don't even have to pretend to like it. It's a genuinely relaxing experience.
But yeah, the person took pictures of him climbing the gym and walking down nature, and that's when the girls find out about that hobby. Those are the only things that women are commenting on. Honestly, there are three takeaways from this post. One is that online dating is a load of BS. Two, you shouldn't built relationships based on lies. And three, if you have to lie to enjoy going to a climbing gym or walking 5 minutes down the trail, I think you fail as a human being.
