    The slop algorithm loves the street interview no matter how much I protest against it. There was some woman who said that her partner would need to be making 200k/yr. Clearly a cherry picked example from someone God knows where in her journey in life, but it made me go, "I can't imagine relating to someone with requirements to date them." It seems childish. Their definitions of success include metrics for what their partner has achieved, how they look, and how they behave. I could never. How could you develop together? In whatever way you see fit or it's an argument? What happens when you don't get along? Gotta throw them out and get a new one? Again and again? Seems gross and has gotten grosser the more I date. I used to be curious about why someone wouldn't want to be around me, but anymore it's like "just tell me the spark isn't there and let me move on." It'll save me from investing in someone like this.
