There are definitely some SW’s who I’ve decided I’ll never see based on their Twitter posts. When an SW seems to have issues/drama over and over again…SOMETIMES the common thread is clear, lol!
I actually do appreciate seeing some complaints/gripes/rants for a few reasons:
- this is a real person with a real life. I find the SW profiles who are solely lingerie pics, ads, and “see how good my life is “ quite sterile and uninspiring to me.
- it’s often a topic that educates me/makes me a better client
- when you see how hard the job can be, how much they have to work, you can appreciate their successes more (which I think is a good thing).
That being said, there’s a line out there, which is hard to define, where it can become a bit much. There are some SW’s who I feel I would be walking on eggshells with, wondering if I’d become the source of a rant later (when I’m truly just trying to be a good human..and humans make mistakes).
There are also people who come across as just negative in general. I’m sure we all know someone like this in other areas of life - everything is half-empty, everything sucks, etc etc. Many of these feelings are definitely valid, but for a short period of time, I’d prefer NOT to spend my time and money with such a person.
Not every Twitter-found date has been a resoundingly awesome time (many of my favourite SW’s aren’t on Twitter at all), but I have had some great dates and I think partially because we got to know each other a bit beforehand via Twitter posts. Getting a sense of their interests, sense of humour, likes/dislikes…allexpressed over time.
