"Oh no! Young people have higher standards and might end up waiting until they're more mature to start dating! Whatever shall we do?"
Read the first few paragraphs. Everything in there is fairly reasonable. Many of the things on the "ick list" are big red flags that any reasonable person should avoid.
So very reasonable...
Did we even read the same opening paragraph?
Not sure we read the same paragraph cause pretty much all of these are reasonable.
Most of these seem like something someone they'd met previously did which led to greater issues down the road. They don't want to deal with it again so they've identified some early warning signs to help them navigate in an analytical fashion. Besides, at least this case is operating on a "3 strike basis" so if you have a steady job and just moonlight as a failed DJ you still have a chance.
You are reaching so hard there with those excuses.
Neither of us know the background that led to any of these being added to their ick list. I provided reasons why those might be on the list.
When you are seeking a partner it's completely natural to find someone with shared interests, cleanliness expectations, and socioeconomic and religious backgrounds. That's all the list is.
And yeah, religion is a personal choice, but if that doesn't mesh with your partner there's gonna be trouble and "saving yourself for marriage" is a conservative religious take. Maybe they just wanted to have sex before marriage and the other person was incompatible, or maybe they didn't want to be in a hierarchical relationship with the expectation that they be submissive to their partners whims and recognized that their partner's "saving themselves for marriage" was an early indicator of that regressive behavior. Either way it's an incompatibility that was recognized and added to the list.
I can't believe being a failed DJ made your list of unreasonable red lines.
It's not? Those are examples listed in the article.
That you are highlighting as unreasonable right? That's the whole point of that comment. Clearly.
