This woman has a 30-year-old brother named Bill, who has been online dating for a while. In fact, since joining the dating platforms three years ago, he has had absolutely no success.
Now, she did clarify that both she and Bill live in a rural area– meaning that there are not a ton of single women who are even around her brother’s age.
“And the ones who are available, well, Bill didn’t think they were good enough,” she revealed.
More recently, though, her brother actually approached her and asked for her help. Bill wanted her to edit his online dating profile to be more attractive so he could finally land a partner.
She agreed, too, and wound up looking his profile over. But honestly, she was quickly shocked.
Her brother had apparently included a bunch of paragraphs listing the criteria that he’s looking for in a woman.
For instance, Bill wants a woman who is under 30-years-old, cute, skinny, lives nearby, and has an average to high income.
On top of that, her brother also wrote that whoever he dates must be into gaming and like anime.
And what her brother expected from a woman shocked her for two main reasons. First of all, the only photos he had on his profile were either grainy selfies or pictures with their parents– mostly their mom.
Second, and most importantly, Bill still lives with their parents and has actually been working the same job as a door greeter ever since he was 18-years-old. So, she was honest with her brother about the fact that he either needed to align his expectations with reality or seriously change his own life.
“I told Bill that he doesn’t need to overhaul his page; he needs to overhaul his life,” she revealed.
“No woman meeting his wants would want to date an obese 30-year-old living off of his parents and working a job that Walmart normally gives to old people to stay busy.”
While she may have a point, though, her tough take on her brother’s dating profile caused him to just freak out on her. Then, Bill even went running to their mom and tattled on her.
That’s why her mom is now upset with her and accused her of just tearing her brother down when he genuinely needed some help. On top of that, her mom even wants her to apologize to her brother. But quite frankly, she thinks there is absolutely nothing to be sorry about.
“I just told Bill what was wrong and that he should consider changing his life if he really wants what he wants,” she vented.
Nonetheless, with her mom and Bill still upset with her, she has been left wondering whether essentially telling her brother that he is “undateable” made her a jerk or not.
Why do you think her brother has such high expectations? Do you think they are unrealistic, given his current situation? Was it better that she just ripped the bandaid off and told her brother the harsh truth? Or could she have communicated her point in a nicer way?
