So many people are superficial these days. I am not saying that I am not guilty of it as well, but it seems more prevalent as of late with the new acquaintances that I happen to meet. The worst culprit: online dating. I know that everyone says that you can't judge a book by its cover, well, I guess that old proverb doesn't ring true when it comes to profiles. Needless to say, I have been skeptical since the beginning but it is the people who make it worse. No one is truthful these days. I know that it is just meant to be a sort of advertisement to get people to take interest in you and meet off line. But, really, would it be too much to ask to put up a recent picture or two? Hell, even a better description with a little more depth would be appreciated. The other thing I hate is when the facade starts to break down and you see the real person is not who you expected from the get-go. You can usually tell what a person will be like after a couple weeks and most times they scamper off after that brief time. It's definitely discouraging. For once, I would like to meet someone who is going to stick around. That goes for friends too, not just dating. I am starting to lose my faith in people and I am longing, more than ever, for home and those I know well.
