Faith Jenkins explains why small lies and inconsistencies matter in relationships. She argues that minor dishonesty signals how someone will handle bigger things, and that a partner's social media presence reveals their values and whether the relationship is healthy.
When you see those subtle things, you don't understand, well, why didn't this person just be true and honest with me about this? This was a small thing. How do you think they're going to handle the big things? What kind of digital footprint are people leaving online on their social media? Some people may think, wow, you didn't even give him a chance. You didn't even again, I know myself now. I know myself and I know that when I date somebody, even what they put out publicly on their social media, that's a reflection of me.

You may think that joke was small, but to me, it represented a bigger picture of what I thought would be incompatibility.
