Just to be clear, I'm 32M, and I just hate how much people value the other person making them laugh. Life is not a game, it's not a laughing matter, it's serious. We need to treat it more seriously than we have been.
Also, confidence. We treat everyone around us like idiots, it's no wonder barely anyone has any confidence besides narcissists. Confidence is incredibly rare and it's unreasonable to expect anyone to have any, especially in dating when everyone is treated like trash.
