I tried Tinder for the first time and it's genuinely awful.

Found the best looking person on Lemmy.
I'm not best looking, I'm just decent looking.
I just don't have shitty photos and I have an actual personality in my text.
I don't know what you look like or how your personality is, but as a woman who's used dating apps many times before, I can confirm that this alone puts you ahead of the game.
When I see a guy's profile and it says nothing but "ask me," it's an instant skip. Your profile is the space to advertise yourself; if a person's not going to put in the one-time effort to fill in a profile, how can I expect them to put in the sustained effort necessary for an on-going relationship?
Sure sure Mr Ryan Reynolds, I believe you.
if I was that attractive i'd be getting 100s of matches per month.
I get like 5 a week.
but I'm sure if you were on it for 9 months and got 0 matches... you'd think it wasn't possible to get any.
I know guys more attractive than me, who get way more matches than me. it's all about how physically and emotionally appealing you are. it's just that... most men are not either. and if you start telling them why, they lose their minds because they take pride in their unappealing characteristics, like their passion for Linux.
