Was gonna post this in story time, but realized that was technically for talking about actually getting dates.

So I haven't had an IRL relationship for about 4 years, but I've had pretty moderate success at talking to girls online and getting to "we could totally date if we lived closer/weren't so busy" type shit. Most of those connections were made via Facebook mutuals or meme pages, which is probably a terrible start to begin with here.

But anyway, I don't think I'm a terrible looking dude and I'm not entirely brainless when it comes to talking to human females.

After stumbling upon this reddit, I get inspired to make a tinder just for the "confidence boost" of getting some right swipes from people who live in my area and having laidback conversation I guess. Maybe even arrange to hang out but the intention definitely wasn't for hookups and was mostly for the purpose of a self esteem boost/share memes on the reddit.

So I made my profile, drafted a funny bio because I take pride in my sense of humor, and attached some funny pictures that indicate my personality.

I started using the app and swiping around in the early afternoon. I pretty much only swiped right on girls I thought were cute/had a bio I could comment on/shared hobbies. Swiped left on every empty bio because I can't imagine that would lead to any fun conversation.

By the end of day 1, my only match was fuckin Pop-Tarts. Was getting kinda annoyed and surprised how I hadn't gotten at least one single match within a 12 hour or so period, but per this reddit's advice I decided to change up the profile a bit. The first pic I had been using didn't have a smile, so at the end of my day at work I took a smiling picture in my mirror and rolled with the first one I took. In hindsight, that was probably a horrible idea since the whole concept is to have the most flattering images as possible, but whatever. Added a group picture to prove I have friends/aren't a serial killer, and added a pic of my cat because he's cute and I don't have a dog.

Day 2 comes and goes, I run entirely out of likes and after work I still only slid into Pop-Tarts DMs. I was almost doubting if the app was even functioning because I had thought I could get at least one like on my end from one person within that period of time. Maybe I was super impatient, but by the end of day 3 I just uninstalled the app and deleted my profile because it was becoming a problem how much time I was taking to curate my profile and advertise myself when the whole thing was supposed to remind me that there are women who find me cute/funny. If you tell me that the meme profile was just way too much, I guess I'll understand.

I'm posting this in the profile help section, but I kinda give up on this stuff for now and am gonna try to live my life without concerning myself what women I don't know think about my appearance. Be satisfied with my own self-confidence I guess. Anyway, hope the photos make you laugh.
