Yes. There is nothing bad about having some more information up front, but in my experience some people will describe themselves as they think others want to see them and not always who they are. In which case it can take a few hours, days or even months before you really start to see who they are.

The last really serious relationship started by meeting at a bar.

It was great because there was no expectations when we first started talking so the conversation was just natural, just two people talking. We exchanged numbers and soon started dating. I really think that it worked was because it was just an accidental meeting and we were both relaxed and had no ulterior motive.

I also think because dating in the wild there are fewer filters and few options, so you go with what you got. They may not be perfect but it’s better than sitting around swiping for the perfect person that may not exist.

But I still don’t understand it

BTW use Piped for this link - just getting ahead of the Piped bot

It’s a video of a guy that falls off the edge of the world. You can hear him saying “see I was right!” as he bounces off the shell of the turtle.

I really feel that nothing is changing because the people that have been in power for many decades set up a system the works really really well for them. Not you, not me but them.

So why would they change that?

I think any successful, level headed host, actor, media personality has a character they play in public. Actually to expand on that most people that are successful and want to keep sane have a public character.
