California passes law allowing women to sue man who sends her nude pictures

Yes people lie, but if they were really all there for hookups "type of relationship" wouldn't be a major thing they want on a profile, it would be a waste of time and space. They could pretend to hope and strive for a relationship even more easily without that information. I wonder what proportion of women still write "no hookups" on their profiles? Is it 0%? Does it secretly mean they want a hookup? LOL.. You know why they do it? Because they get too many messages, and writing no hookups deters people from wasting both of their time.

Triggering? lol.. No, but interesting enough to talk about.

 

I didn't say they were all there for hookups I said that that was predominant.

When you misrepresent what I said you are fabricating a straw man you can attack.

but that's only the people that are honest with themselves.

It seems like you're taking what I say about online dating is a personal attack hence the straw man fallacies. You really want me to be wrong because it's personal for you.

Even though I had good experiences on online dating I'm not biased towards it. It wasn't really online dating that afforded me that it was my choice to use it.

 

No I don't think so. I didn't feel personally attacked, I just strongly disagreed. What I recall is you said it was "only for" hookups. I did not mean to misrepresent you, but I do see that's not quite the same as saying every single person on there is only there for hookups. Though if it was even most, I doubt the 2nd most important thing would be type of relationship looking for.

Here is your relevant post:

It seems like you're getting dramatic because you realize evidence is not on your side.

 

based on nostalgia not reality.

are you explained enough times that you should be capable of understanding that this is a generalization.

If you want to mince words that's your business I don't do that.

that's exactly what you did I've corrected you more than once on this. I shouldn't have to keep explaining you should have gotten it by now you're playing a game.

again just because people say something doesn't mean it's accurate.

Again actions speak louder than words

Evidence? I don't recall seeing the slightest shred of evidence.

I accepted and agreed with the evidence you presented that people say something but again when actions and words don't line up I can presume that those things being said are not true.

 

I don't even agree with the generalization based upon what I've seen. It's more often for relationships than hookups, overall. If you're talking tinder, then it's more for hookups, but it catered to that specific group since its inception.

Okay... what actions are you referring to? How did you or somebody else measure them? Something like 12-17% of marriages started online, so historically they're not "only for" hookups, but you have some kind of new information that things have changed. I haven't seen it. You've referred to some "consensus," but I'm not sure where from.

 

but you really haven't seen much. You have your single anecdote. In a few surveys suggesting people say something.

Just so you know I don't disagree with any of this I do believe people say they want a relationship if they might even think they do but their actions don't follow their words.

Based on what? What people say?

I don't practice brand loyalty

Hooking up. I haven't measured it I don't need to.

I remember years ago when I was online I found lots of couples that wanted to hook up with a third.

Well I haven't seen your Antarctica but that doesn't mean I don't think it exists.
