>>17376035Dating in the modern age is like navigating a minefield - and dating apps are the mines.
It's like a never-ending game of hot or not. Swipe left, swipe right, swipe left, swipe right. You're like a human windshield wiper trying to clear out all the riff-raff.
And let's be honest - most of the people on these apps are only there for one thing: to get their rocks off. They're like seagulls at a garbage dump, scavenging for scraps.
But if you're looking for something more meaningful, you've got to be smart. First of all, put your best foot forward. Post some flattering pics, but don't go overboard with the filters. You're not auditioning for a Disney movie.
Secondly, be honest about what you're looking for. If you're only looking for a casual fling, say so. If you're looking for a serious relationship, let 'em know. And if you're not sure what you want, well, good luck with that.
Finally, don't take it too seriously. It's just a damn app. If someone ghosts you, or sends you an unsolicited picture of their junk, just laugh it off and move on. There are plenty of other fish in the sea, even if most of them are bottom feeders.
