I’ve been a relationship writer and coach for over 15 years and the precursor to my career was being an absolute and utter dating disaster. Dating is tough and if you don’t properly tend to the relationship you have with yourself, you will get pummeled and feel hopeless, and frustrated. You may even adopt the faulty belief that you are flawed and unlovable.

Are You Dating a Narcissist? Watch for these 3 Warning Signs

So-called “toxic” women aren’t always actually toxic. While some certainly are, let’s reevaluate the label a little in the context of the patriarchal society we live in. A woman is actually toxic when she lacks empathy, is cruel, is exploitative, manipulative, and deliberately demeaning — that is a narcissistic woman, but she is not the true subject of this article. We certainly don’t want to embody true toxicity or encourage those traits or behaviors. But some of the women men usually label as “toxic” and fall in love with may not be any of these things. Some of these women are labeled “toxic” and “difficult” for all the wrong reasons by low quality men — like standing up for themselves or having basic boundaries, not being submissive enough for a controlling man, or fighting back and defending oneself against mistreatment. Here are the real reasons why men fall in love with so-called “toxic” and “difficult” women, and how you can integrate this knowledge to improve your dating life and protect yourself.

If we looked 60 years into the past, there are a lot of things that were accepted as “normal” that today most people find abhorrent. For example, people used to smoke cigarettes everywhere. They’d light up in hospitals, schools and even churches.People also used to litter like crazy. It’s socially unacceptable now, but if you lived in the ’70s and finished your meal at McDonald’s, you’d chuck your empty styrofoam container (remember those?) and soda cup right out of the window of your car and onto the street.

Size matters to super-selective singletons swiping left or right in the search for love. 

So, rather than coming up short, some mini-men have begun misleading ladies online, falsifying their underwhelming heights to appear taller. 

But now, thanks to artificial intelligence, once-gullible gals are wising up.

A new Forbes Health survey polled 1,000 U.S. adults who have used a dating app within the last year to uncover the biggest “icks” (defined as, “a sudden feeling of disgust or dislike, often in response to the actions of another person”) associated with dating profiles—and what makes someone more inclined to match.

First impressions are key. The survey found that the average amount of time it takes to decide whether to swipe right or left on a match is nearly two and a half minutes.  

Almost a quarter of individuals state they spend just 31-to-60 seconds assessing another user’s profile, 21% felt one-to-two...

Dating apps encourage users to focus primarily on facial beauty. True happiness in relationships comes from shared values, kindness, and honesty, not from physical beauty. Beauty is relative, and guarenteed to fade, unlike character, which grows enriched over time. I saw an old friend last weekend (name and info changed)....
