I don't consider myself particularly interesting, but I would say my interests are vastly different from the average guy on dating apps

I don't know how to say this without sounding pretentious, but I prefer intellectual conversation over nights at the bar or whatever. I just want to be able to share the thoughts I have floating around my head with someone, ya know? When I'm not on hexbear.net, I play guitar, draw, write and enjoy analyzing different types of media and digging into the meaning of stuff

Stream of consciousness slop, I know, but I'm super high and my thoughts are firing off. Can anyone relate or see where I'm coming from?

      I really don't like this take. You're judging a person on max 500 characters and a few photos. You can't adequately show off your personality on a tinder profile. It's straight up just a meat market. "it must be your shit personality" is just offensive.

      Nowhere did I say I my "personslity is great", so I'm curious how you came to the conclusion.

      That's part of the reason why I thought I'd ask this q in the ND com, because I recognize that what I find interesting doesn't appeal to most people with a neurotypical brain structure

      You want to make a good impression, so you make yourself look good. You don’t open with “hey I’m a communist” but with something more smooth, like “Should Stalin have stopped at Berlin?” People look down on dating apps for making you present yourself in a certain way, and though dating apps can be more awful for it, that’s just dating in general.

      I kind of hate this advice. I don't particularly see the improved dialogue as better than the first. It seems like rather common advice and not to seem like a hater, but most people aren't that funny. Dating apps seem to encourage the Joss Whedoning of all dialogue.
