    The person I’ve started seeing from Hinge in recent days told me that the biggest reason she rolled with my profile was because I seemed like I was “relatively normal” and not a techbro or finance bro. Apparently this is prevalent enough around here that for someone who’s not into it, a profile that features a dad joke about the members of punk and metal bands standing really far apart because “your band width determines your speed,” offers “Live Without at an abandoned Denny’s in Houston” as an option for a past event to time travel to, and lists “worker ownership of the means of production” as a “simple pleasure” qualifies you as “normal.”

    But hey, that in turn means I’m not attracting the kinds of girls who go for techbros, which I see as an absolute win.

      My dating profiles got a lot of attention. I’ll give you guys a tip:

      Go onto the site as a woman looking for a man and read the other guy’s profiles. MAKE YOURS DIFFERENT.

        Man, what profiles? It’s all ‘I will fill this out later’ or ‘ATVs Hunting Fishing and driving’.
