    But I can't even manage to introduce myself without fucking up and stumbling over my words. :side-eye-1:

    EDIT: Idk, seems like an okay video for when you're not neurodiverse or not disabled. Otherwise, it kind of erases those struggles tbh. "your profile just sucks" is a slap in the face. Especially when you have put a lot of care in your profile because you know you're disadvantaged on dating apps. Not to mention that those apps literally work on incel logic, giving people scores and ranking them to "looksmatch" and try to extract as much money from you as they can while attractive people used as good marketing and make you keep swiping.

      stupid take that works for me: dating is like shitposting. don't think about it and have fun. you are not you, you're an account on an app talking to other accounts on an app. if something doesnt work whatever, move onto the next shitpost / match.

      I hate making a profile. It's a waste of time unless you're a normie who doesn't need this shit anyway.

      Your profile barely matters on dating apps fwiw. Most people struggle because they treat it like Serious Business instead of yet another game on your phone to idly pass time.

        I don't think that's really true at all tbh.

          Pics of you smiling / doing cool stuff. Not overthinking the profile writing matters too I guess.

          my opinion, but whatevs.

            ah, i was reading "profile" to mean the whole package -- pics & bio. i certainly agree that high quality pictures, depicting cool stuff, are the most important thing.

            (i'd also agree that not having an overthought/overwrought bio is important, but my sense is that guys who are within normal distribution ranges of conventional attractiveness and who don't really put any quality thought into their bios at all (or at least fail to comport to the general genre conventions of bio writing) end up suffering for it.)

          Pictures matter more than anything you write, and even then it's arbitrary. I know that I've swiped left on hot, cool people by accident or just let conservations die because I forgot about them. It's not as serious as people try to make it out, and the amount of "gaming" the system is pretty limited.
