Touch some grass dude, humans flirting with each other in public has been happening literally forever. “Oh let’s give control one of the most basic core human activities over entirely to a handful of dating app corporations” my man, go outside

    I've started to make a profile for tinder half a dozen times and as soon as I come the profile picture part I just close it and give up. I'm even "conventionally attractive" I guess you could say or so I'm told I just get really self conscious and don't know what I'm doing.

    Also fucking holy shit at the "we're sorry you had your life threatened by someone on our app here's a free subscription for life"

      you have no idea how many dudes just look like absolute dogshit in pictures but are hot irl. im pretty sure a lot of women are aware that dudes cant play themselves up at this point

      like my bf is hot as hell and really buff but he took a picture that made him look like a completely different person with a forehead 9x the size of a normal person. idk how he managed such a terrible pic, like :charlie-kirk: energy

          if anything it gives you the benefit of the doubt so youll get a first date. at least thats how it was with me. i was just like 'theres no way his forehead is actually that big time to go check'

              it was really absurd. he is a blessed himbo for thinking it was a good picture for a profile lmao

              he also had a facial expression that made it look like he was taking a huge dump. truly hilarious pic

                I'm now just picturing him as the gym bro I met at a party a couple weeks ago who I gave a huge long explanation of communism and how modern medicine isn't bad it's the profit motive that corrupts it and that COVID vaccines are good and their privatization is the real conspiracy.

                He asked me if I had a youtube channel he could subscribe to.

                    I mean this guy may not have been knowledgeable but he was smart enough to understand a solid argument and didn't just turn off his brain when I started explaining dictatorship of the proletariat

        Now I'm thinking that the only reason women I met online ever went on a date with me is because they want to see if I REALLY look like Charlie Kirk...
