What is it with men and conspiracy theories 🙄

Online dating and it seems the only men I seem to be attracted to seem to have so many issues that come up after a few chats!

Latest one, and not uncommon by a long shot, has told me that he doesn't pay his water bill because water is free from the sky and the water companies are poisoning us (but doesn't have a distiller so drinks out of plastic bottles and that can cause cancer if all your drinks are from plastic), doesn't pay council tax, doesn't work because he's awake and it's part of the matrix, 5g is going to fuck us all up and our cows are now being injected by another Bill Gates vaccine. I asked him what he did with his day if he doesn't work and he spends his days researching on what is going wrong in the world in the fight against good and evil.. oh and the huge American pedophile rings and social workers trafficking kids. I am a bloody SW, no we don't want your kids, caseloads are overwhelmed enough as it is thanks.

I just think it's sad that his life has become this. I told him we aren't compatible as we don't believe in the same stuff. I feel bad for him and did like the look of him but these conspiracy theories are mental illness. It's almost like they are the new religion with the fevered zelous that the newly converts preach.. even when you tell them you're not interested in conspiracy theories they still bang them down your throat!

I have male acquaintances I now actively avoid because conspiracies are the only thing they talk about. Its relentless, and boring. People trawl You Tube and Google, go down the rabbit hole of someone else's opinion, and then aggressively believe they know it all. Its also an easy outlet for a life unfulfilled. They're all over social media spouting nonsense too. Too much skunk weed I suspect

It's cannabis addiction and social media rabbit holes.

Worse than the CT crap is the vile smell they leave everywhere from their filthy drugs.
