Nice pleasant morning for some reflections (away from the Monday blues haha). Just curious about how folks would describe changes in themselves or their dating patterns from a third person perspective.

I have heard about people (past their 20s) becoming more jaded, OLD being exhausting etc. but also about how one becomes more sure of themselves and who they are and what they want. Personally, I became what instinctively feels like less kind to me but in reality is probably just feeling less bad about enforcing boundaries.

So, what changed about you and your dating criteria through the years? Do you think it was for the better or worse?
