Sure it's easy to think that you basically anonymous when 300 million others are doing it, but when a potential date looks you up and sees a lot of vids of you picking your nose, maybe you're not so attractive anymore.
- elliotec 10y agoWhy would that matter if there are lots of vids of the potential date picking their nose too, along with 300 million other people?
- amag 10y agoBecause however looks you up online, does not look at the other 300 million people doing the same thing. (S)he looks at you.
- TeMPOraL 10y agoThat they don't consider 300 million other people (themselves quite likely included) doing the same thing before passing a moral judgement only show how immature they are. You're better off without that person.
- TeMPOraL 10y ago> but when a potential date looks you up and sees a lot of vids of you picking your nose, maybe you're not so attractive anymore. Congratulations. An unreasonable person that you wouldn't like anyway has self-selected themselves out of your dating pool. I'd personally call it a win. Outrage is mostly a sign of immature character. People get away with it today because it's not easy to call them out on their hypocrisy.
- amag 10y agoThat's just the thing, maybe nose-picking isn't a big issue after you get to know each other. Many people are very risk-averse when it comes to romantic relationships and the tiniest thing may cause someone to pass on you if they haven't had the time to see your other qualities. IMHO this doesn't necessarily make a person unreasonable, just cautious or someone with other options.
