actually i like to talk about my dates' past dates and what she is looking for during first date, rather than subsequent dates. if not compatible at the very onset, dont waste time.

imagine only know her expectation on the 6th date, what a waste of 5 dates 😅

so yup i'm glad she revealed all these on first meet, dont waste time.

She was exactly doing what you wanted her to do, telling you her experiences of her dates.

So yesterday met up with this girl
during the date she shared her past dates:

she kept criticising her past first dates e.g.
- one of the dates dressed very plainly
- one of the dates hairstyle turned her off
- brought her to a restaurant where there's nothing much in the menu
- saying guys who stays home are boring

- guys should look presentable and make effort to plan for dates

why can't first dates be simple dates and get to know each other on a deeper level?
and girls always preach gender equality but expects guys to do the heavy lifting in dates and chasing? :spin::spin:

hear liao damn turn off. not intending to ask her out again :)
no loss from my end, probably no loss from her end too.

I din see any of the "preach gender equality" in your post above though.

I have never once, talked about other dates with other guys on my 1st date with the guy.

Is there nothing to talk about during her date with you, that she had to talk about her other dates in order to have a conversation with you? 🤔
I don't like to talk about any past dates too, but most guys that I have gone on a date with are curious to know what happened, why never continue, etc. Usually, nothing positive comes out from the sharing of these experiences. There are many reasons why we are all still seeing one person after another.

But since they asked, no choice, have to give some answers. Else keep quiet or ask them "What is the point of your question?" meh :ROFLMAO:

Tbh, I feel that what she complained about are minor issues. If only both parties are able to give themselves a chance, improve or work together and give-and-take on these issues mentioned.

Unfortunately, it seems like people these days don't want to waste time; they rather take the easy way out to look for someone else who doesn't need much 'changing'.

Curiosity kills the cat.. ;)

Why would u want to get together with someone with the idea of changing him/her? This is like looking for an experienced hire. U find someone who is the best fit for the role. Not hoping that he/she will learn on the job.

Never once did my dates asked me about my previous dates too.

Nobody will change unless its for their own good. Even if that person changes for you, most likely, he/she will revert to her old self soon.

So, I guess the girl must be not chio enough for him to accept her for who she is.

minor issues? probably to you bah. i guess whether issues are "minor" or "major" is subjective.

i'm not keen to change myself to be someone "presentable, takes effort in planning dates, have a good and clean proper hairstyle, dress like a hunk while going for dates, make sure restaurant locations have a good selection of items and good ambience".

too stressful.
i've met before girls who are super chill and am okay with simple dates, i guess i'm into those..

Sometimes it is because that a "hirer" feels there is no lack of applicants, and that the position can be quickly filled if he/she wishes so. In short, always waiting for the next better candidate. ;)
