Comment on Dan Ariely on why online dating is so unsatisfyingparent

It's posts like this that make think "forget women". I mean seriously. I would want a relationship where I can be myself, and don't have to craft every bit of what I say according to some stupid protocol when it annoys the fuck out of me to see other people following when I can tell they're not being who they want but just following the rules. Yes I'm single, yes I have been for a long time, yes I will be for a long time further, most likely.

The "protocol" isn't really for the sake of being someone other than yourself - it's for letting your personality be displayed through the limitations of the medium.

This is a very good way to describe the 'problem' or rather 'situation', very refreshing.
