I get that, and sure, we do like to show our best self. But what I don't like is when a guy makes it look like he's this fun, adventurous person that loves going on road trips and being outdoors but then when we're actually dating it's Netflix, board games, takeout, and video games (again, not counting during a pandemic). And when I say, let's go places and do things, I'm "not chill" and "high maintenance." This has happened at least twice.

And no. I'm not "high maintenance" in the usual sense of the term, but I am pretty high energy and hate being lazy. If you're a couch potato. Stop pretending to be anything other than a couch potato.[/quote]

But isn't that the point of dating?  Can't you figure this out after a few dates and then move on to someone else if it's not what you're looking for?  I'm a big fan of writing in your profile what you are looking for, so that it's clear and to the point, and then screening for guys that want the same thing.[/quote]

Some people will do and say whatever it takes to get laid.

Others will think they want something out of a partner but they really don't. If the example is the guy who pretends to be outdoorsy but prefers video games, it could be that he is attracted to athletic women and wants to be seen as something an athletic woman would like, but then doesn't want to share the lifestyle they live. There are plenty of other examples.

Just be yourself, because it's going to come out sooner or later. [/quote]
