There is NOTHING wrong with lying and manipulation as long as you're good at it. CMV.
Main Post:
Being honest for the sake of being is some kindergarten level shit. there's no absolute inherent moral value to things like that.
Just a few things lying has gotten me:
Better grades throughout school
Jobs
Money
Sex
Every relationship I've ever had has been completely founded on lies and a false persona that I've made to suit the girl I was trying to attract
shitloads of free time that I'm able to use to pursue my hobbies
etc. etc.
We all deceive and lie in our own little ways to get ahead in life. That's just pragmatism. We all change who we are depending upon our setting and who we're around. No one was hurt in any of these interactions. No one ever found out. In fact, it actually increased the sum of happiness from everyone who was involved in the lie, including and especially me. So why is it so wrong? How can acts that benefit and not hurt be considered so evil and bad?
Top Comment: You seem to be a utilitarian (striving for the greater good, ends justify means, etc.) I'm more of a Kantian (respect for people, universal moral imperatives, etc.) The major thing a Kantian considers is "Would it be okay if everyone did this, all of the time?" If the answer is no, a Kantian (ideally) wouldn't do it. But you're more of a utilitarian (I think), which is a valid moral code. But a true utilitarian would be okay in these situations: A doctor lies to you (he's not a doctor, all he wants is your money) and you die from a prescribed drug. But don't worry, because the money he made from manipulating you helped feed his starving family, saved the rainforest, and made world peace. You are invited to a party with all your friends, who, without your knowledge, are in dire need of organ transplants. It turns out, all of your friends need exactly enough organs that a human body has (kidney, heart, liver, etc.) and so after the party is over, they kill you and take your organs so they can live. But don't worry, by manipulating you, they have saved several lives. Alright, how about a realistic scenario without death. You meet a beautiful woman who seems to love you. After a year or two, she divorces you. She also manipulates the judge so that 80% of everything you own goes to her. She does this for a living. It was her plan all along. She never cared about you. But hey, you got sex for a year, so it's okay. Right? If you're okay with all of the above, great! If not, maybe you should remember the golden rule of morality: If it's not okay for someone to do to you, you shouldn't do it to others.
Why does Reddit lie to mid and ugly men with dating profile critiques?
Main Post:
Oh it’s because you didn’t put a period there, you put a comma. Your photo gives me the vibe that you’re this. You should be funnier, etc.
No, the real reason you’re not getting matches is you’re ugly to painfully mid as a man. Meaning. Nothing you do in your profile is going to make a difference.
Hot people don’t even put a single thing on their profile and go out of their way to be as unappealing as possible on the apps and get tons of matches. No one gives a shit about your grammar, and how you present yourself on the apps is all fake anyway, no one buys anything on there even if it’s true.
Top Comment: Bruh, I will never forget a handicapped dude posting his Hinge account looking for pointers and seeing all those mouth-breathers in the comments proceed to dance around the painfully obvious reason he wasn't getting any matches. Dude was in a wheelchair. Naturally that is going to be detrimental when it comes to romance. That's not being an asshole, that's just the facts. Dating apps aren't meritocracies, they're skill-based matchmaking. And the skill is being hot. Anyways, almost no one who commented was willing to be straight up with the poor guy and say "yeah, the wheels might be a problem." The few that did got downvoted into the netherrealms. "Maybe it's your smile? Try whitening toothpaste" "Be more thorough in what you're looking for" "New haircut, buddy! Sideburns are a little long" Like if the average male can only match with Asian crypto scammers, non-passing trans women, and OF accounts ran by a ring of dudes somewhere in Mumbai making three rupees an hour, the guy who's dead below the waist doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell, and you're not doing him any favors by pretending otherwise.
