A thousand claps for your article, and for your wise and rational take on dating! Toxicity begets toxicity, anger begets more anger, and constant venting keeps those champions of singlehood that you reference mired in perpetual negativity. It's a vicious cycle. I'm all for commiserating, but not when it turns into a circular firing squad.

Bottom line, be careful of what you consume online. Be discerning about who you follow, listen to, and trust. Use your judgment and critical thinking when taking advice. And most importantly, beware of letting yourself get sucked into other people's dating dramas, and letting their bitterness seep into you.

Sometime misery does NOT love company!

Keep up the good work Melissa!
