How do you know I had no misfortunes? I had a lot of really bad things happen to me. You can't possibly know my life. Where is your knowledge coming from?

I am speaking about myself not always blaming others when **** happens to me. Speaking from experience

As about online dating, I was a victim of romance scam. Because I was desperate. That's how we get in trouble. I don't blame websites.

That's why I am saying it's pointless to blame place where we meet jerks for the fact that we meet them! I lived with alcoholic for many years. I do not see why it's even matter where I met him?

It certainly isn't place's fault.

It's fine to vent but when people ask about online dating and others say "you will only meet jerks", then it negatively effects people and it's unfair. I don't think it is fair to stereotype our own bad experience this way.
Thanks for this!
