Yep. Look at all this garbage taking up half the post.

Edit: Since people think I posted this because I take it super personally. I really don't. I was telling a friend about dating, and mentioned it in passing. I was surprised to hear that he had a different opinion, and was curious about what the split was. I'm not asking for advice and I'm not venting. Obviously people are allowed to respond to rejection however they want. I always try to treat others the way I would want to be treated and that includes thanking people for taking the time to communicate with me even when it's something I don't want to hear.

Edit 2: Please note, I never said I was entitled to a response from someone, I said I preferred it. Yes, I do think a bit poorly of them, but the general response is that these people no longer care what I think, so I'm not sure why that matters. I'm also not out here 1) preemptively rejecting people 2) chasing people down when they don't respond, I very much respect their choice to not engage further 3) trying to feed my ego 4) looking for absolution. It's just a social nicety that I'm now realizing not everyone cares about. Thank you to everyone who shared their opinion without attacking mine (even if it was different), that's really all I was going for. I genuinely did not realize there was this much of a spread on how people felt on this topic.
