ONLINE DATING ADVICE


ATTENTION 🫵 BACHELORS!!! 🫵

I am not on “the apps” right now. Wanna know why? Too bad!

MAYBE it is because MEN have such STUPID PROFILES. (Women might, too, but I have not attempted to date them. Perhaps I should.)

BE ADVISED about the following preferences and their implications for any sensible woman (such as myself) wanting to date you:

🚨 offensively boring 🚨

Are any of these on your profile? Are you feeling called out? Good.

  • Tacos
  • Pizza
  • Sushi
  • Brunch
  • Marijuana
  • Coffee (SO ORIGINAL)
  • “Music” (ARE WE TALKING BACH? ROSSINI? WAGNER???)
  • “Coffee and a good book” (BET YOU THINK YOU’RE REAL SMART)
  • “Having fun”
  • “Laughing”
  • “Chilling”
  • “Self improvement” (WEAPONIZED THERAPY-SPEAK IN 3…2…1…)

🤮 revolting 🤮

Delete your profile and 🛑 STOP DATING IMMEDIATELY 🛑 if you list any of these interests:

  • Fishing
  • Hunting
  • Steak
  • Hamburgers
  • Cheese
  • Milk
  • Guns
  • Cryptocurrency
  • Wagner

👍 infinitely and immediately interesting 👍

  • Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
  • Factorio
  • …I’ll have to come back to this

🤔 intriguing 🤔

  • References from ex-lovers available upon request
  • Highly specific special interests (careful with this one)
  • Doing psychedelics alone in the wilderness and writing fiction based on your experiences
  • Opinions about opera Fächer, composers, performers, eras, styles, etc. Is coloratura for basic bitches?
  • Play the bassoon (nobody plays the bassoon)

🤷 boring but redeemable 🤷

Look, I like these too, but you’re gonna have to be more specific:

  • Hiking
  • “Getting outside”
  • Skiing
  • Beer/Cocktails (YAWN)
  • Video games (ARE WE TALKING ESPORTS OR FUCKIN MARIO OR SOME SHIT)
  • Your dog (BET THEY STICK THEIR TONGUE IN YOUR MOUTH)
  • If you call yourself an “animal lover” and are not vegan then we have 🖐️ nothing to discuss 🖐️ (BET THEY STICK THEIR TONGUE IN YOUR MOUTH)

Thank you for your attention to this matter!
