I went on a first date with a guy who lied about what he did and his height, which was ridiculous because I don't care about either. My requirements are: stable-ish, chill and interesting to talk to.

At the time I was writing for a tech company that dabbled in cryptocurrency - and I am not here to debate anything about cryptocurrency. Just... please don't. It was a job.

Point is, I knew quite a bit about it, even used it for a few things. I mentioned blockchain once, as a joke about something, and he launched into a tirade. I mentioned it was part of my work, that I found it interesting... Nope! That began a solid ten minutes of him mansplaining to me about how I was wrong because he knew SO MUCH about it.

The kicker? He didn't know the difference between bitcoin and blockchain.

Oh, but the actual worst one was the guy I never met, thank goodness, because he threatened to kill himelf then me when I said I was too busy to chat.
