On the dating app Bumble, Ms. Bairachna liked the looks of a hipster. But when she scrolled through his photographs, she noticed his amputated leg.

“I looked at his profile for 15 minutes and felt so sorry for him,” Ms. Bairachna, 35, a marketing director for a clothing brand in Kyiv, said in an interview. She wondered if she could handle a relationship with a maimed war veteran.

Then she swiped left, removing him from potential matches. “I feel I’m not ready for that."

They could've done a story on the trials of dating as a maimed war veteran, but instead those chose this whore.

Trying to paint her as a sympathetic victim while mentioning a maimed war veteran who's also on the apps is hilarious and maddening all at once.

She's trying to get you to reveal inner weakness

Nah, there's just a difference between stated preferences and revealed preferences. While they may think they want you to show yourself vulnerable, they are often disgusted by it in practice.

Not everything is a conspiracy...

Seeing a man cry or be depressed and hopeless, no matter how justified or understandable in real terms, will always be seen as weakness by a woman.

And by every other man.

It's no different than if a guy acts like he's totally cool with sluts and whores and never judges a girl's body count, only to be disgusted when she falls for it and reveals she's fucked 178 guys.

Yeah, exactly right. People often don't know what they really like.
