This reminds me of the Mad Men quote, along the lines of “Love is invented by advertisers to sell stockings to women.” Sounds like she is given so many options she will never be happy with anyone, so she rejects everyone for minutiae.

- seiferteric 4y agotoo many sappy "romantic" movies they believe reflect real life. Is it really different than hearing fake news or conspiracy theories and believing them? Some people lack good filters to discern good information from bad. The idea of rejecting someone over going to Starbucks is unbelievable to me. If you are that passionate about "good" coffee and they clearly like coffee also, why not try introducing them to something new? Maybe on a date? You may expand their horizon. Does she believe people "grow up" and stop growing after that? Relationships should be about growing together.
- spadros 4y agoI disagree. She seems entitled and vain. I’m sure many of those 100+ men would have been great matches if she would have only put the effort in, been more tolerant and less judgemental.
