Dating is hard, especially if you're trying your hand at online dating. You spend forever picking the perfect photos and writing something witty that reveals all the best things about you (maybe over-exaggerating) and pray that it catches someone worthwhile's attention.
But imagine if you told the whole truth and nothing but the truth (so help you god)? You revealed the bad with the good, and actually told people what you're really like, and what you really want.
Sure, maybe you'd scare some people away, but if everyone did this, maybe it would make things easier. Everyone would be open and honest upfront, and you won't have to date for months to discover that a person is narcissistic or incredibly insecure.
But that'll never happen. We all just want to look good and appealing, and what if you scare a decent person away? But in a brutally honest world, people's dating profiles would be like “I'm a POS and I want someone with big tits.” So, in a open and honest dating profile, what would you say?
