Isnt that effort? Sounds like theyre trying to make you dateable.

This is a thread specifically about people going "hey, I've got this single friend, and I've got this other single friend, maybe they'd be interested in talking or going on a date?"

Lecturing and criticism isn't effort, people do that to little kids and pets all the time, often out of annoyance. That's just a normal part of being someone who knows, or thinks they know, more about a subject than the person they're addressing and take the opportunity to speak as an authority.

If they wanted to actually help they'd do a very normal thing that is not only seen amongst peers, coworkers, friends and movies, but as I mentioned it in my own post, where an inner circle friend since HS set up his sister with a mutual inner circle friend since HS without ever factoring me into the equation, even though back then she apparently was crushing on me (she's 2 years older).

Like I said, I wouldn't want to be with her because honestly her sense of humor rubs me the wrong way and we'd probably fight a lot, but after hearing so many stories of "I set up x with y" it becomes clear they never even considered someone they've been good friends with for like 16 years now. It sucks when they pretend to care because they feel obligated to pretend out of friendship, yet it's pretty clear they don't (at least on this subject, not talking shit about them in general or anything, just this very specific subject).
