Unbelievable. This "dying in sand is just like dying in water" meme is a bad analogy and people should use their brains for a second before parroting it in the dating context. Just because it sounds like an ancient wisdom proverb doesn't mean it fits in this context.
Having an oversupply of (even mediocre) potential partners is way better than a chronic shortage of potential partners.
Would you also tell the chronically unemployed person that you being flooded with job offers all day you can't keep track of, means you're dying just like him, but in water instead of sand?
No, you're not dying, you're just overwhelmed with supply, which is still better than having zero supply.
