Lately, I’ve noticed a weird parallel between fishing and dating both seem to involve a lot of throwing things back. The whole “swipe, match, ghost” cycle feels like catch-and-release with fancier tech. But here’s what’s got me curious: do people actually want to keep what they hook, or is the thrill just in the chase?
I spend most of my time with spiders (way less drama), but even in volunteering and robotics, I see people putting in effort to build something lasting. So why does dating feel so disposable? Is it a mindset thing, or are we just conditioned to think there’s always a bigger fish? Would love to hear your take especially from folks who’ve made it work.
