Allow me to vent about lifestyle "catfishing"

So what you are saying is it would be wrong of me to use the photo of myself from a field trip where we were collecting Lava Samples in Hawaii. Because, um, 1) it is something I have done once in my life, and 2) it was 27 years ago....

27 years ago does seem to qualify as a recent photo for some of you idiots.

Stop showing pictures of yourself climbing mountains or doing other outdoor activities when that does not accurately represent your lifestyle.

How often do I have to go mountain climbing before I’m allowed to post a photo of me doing it?

Enough times that you would want to do it again with the person you are dating.

If it was a once in a lifetime thing, and you never want to do it again, then don’t post.

Tomorrow, after performing my weekly cleaning chores, e.g., changing the bed, cleaning the floors, swapping towels and regular daily acts, unloading the DW, etc, I will mow the yard trim the weeds.

You unload your wife of all the wood she's carrying on her back? Or you unload her onto the county dump because you're tired of her?

1. Talked about how ambitious he is and how he owns a boat. Turns out he's a UPS driver

2. Bragged how he's an executive for a collection of small businesses, he's expanding his business ventures, he's busy but can handle it all because of his team of awesome people. Find out he has zero income, can't find a job, and the "collection" consists of 2 brand-new businesses that have tanked.

I don't need someone with a high-powered career - I'm happy making my own money - but I can't stand dishonesty.

Hey, don't slam the UPS driver. Who is making your deliveries nowadays? They make decent pay and good benefits. There is a reason some women are still single in their 40's.

PP here. I forgot to mention, nothing wrong with owning a boat. If he owns a boat, he is probably good with motors and can also fix things.

Boats are like being married to women--your happiest days are when you buy it and when you get rid of it.
