I don’t have a general disdain for men. I do have a general disdain for toxic masculinity. There’s a huge difference between the two.

Look, you wanna put your fish pic in your dating profile? Go ahead. but it’s not impressive. Plenty of other men have bigger fish pics on their profile, and they’re equally unimpressive to anyone who isn’t into fishing.

I’ve never met another woman who had anything positive to say about a man on a dating site with fish pictures. Met plenty of other women who are equally as confused as i am about fish pics. Never even anyone saying “look how cute he is being proud of catching some fish of some size, isn’t he cute?”.

fishing isn’t a substitute for a personality.

You think that you get any authentic picture of someone doing an unusual but awesome hobby? Also how do you expect to get "a personality" presented in a picture?

Finally, if someone has a passion and is truly making an effort to be exceptional at it, expect to get yourself in line. You don't get a sports champion or concert instrumentalist, who'll put you before your passion. Thats not how you get exceptional at these things.
