I’m trying to word this in a way that doesn’t make me come off like this is a NiceGuys post or something. Disclaimer: I don’t think I’m perfect or too good for anyone, that would be nonsense. With that being said, as someone in their 20s with little dating experience, I have absorbed a lot of internet dating advice and read a ton of relationship advice as well. I’ve learned a lot about toxic behaviors, what builds a strong relationship, red flags, green flags, dealbreakers, manipulation tactics used by abusers, overbearing standards and shallow mindsets, boundaries when it comes to safe sex and consent, the whole nine yards.
As a result of this, I think that I have a pretty solid mindset in the world of dating.... and when I begin talking to someone my own age whether it be because I’m interested or were simply discussing relationships.... they are way off. I don’t mean in small ways either, like, I have found that pretty much all of my friends display some major toxic traits when it comes to their partners and that many of them are in abusive or simply unhealthy dynamics. I’ve been working on myself for some time now and there are days where it just feels like I’m asking for too much by expecting others to be decent. Does anyone else feel that way?
