I know that both genders go through their own bs, but dating really shouldn't be this difficult. It seems like there are so many unhealed people in the world that don't know what they're looking for or they have unhealed baggage, but they hop into a relationship.

It baffles me as to how there could be this much confusion in dating because it seems like a simple process that has turned into a zero sum game with no clear rules or explanation of how to treat the other person. It seems like a lot of people go onto dating sites just for validation with nothing really to offer. Is it the result of social media going to peoples heads, enflating their egos to believe that they should be validate by everyone so they waste peoples time on dating sites?
