My dating profile

Thank you so much to Bumble for sponsoring today's episode, and for also being an active presence in my own dating life. I've been swiping for a few years now, and I have definitely noticed some trends. Dude, so many guys on Bumble have tigers! And with a heavy heart, I acknowledge that the domestication of tigers in the United States continues to be a pronounced yet overlooked problem. You know he doesn't actually have a tiger, right? But there's a photo of them, right here. Yeah, but it's probably, like, from a sanctuary. But they're together in the photo. No, but he doesn't- See, like, I swiped right. I'm gonna meet a tiger. Tiger's gonna be my friend. And I will also liberate him from the confines of his urban prison, because tigers belong in the wild. 40% of US couples now first meet online. That means that there's a solid chance that if you're on dating apps, social media, or even in chat rooms, you will meet your next partner there. So it is incredibly frustrating when the person's profile and the person don't line up. Hello. I was hanging out with some girlfriends the other day, and we somehow got onto the topic of our profiles, and whether or not they accurately represented who we are, and the roast on me began. Oh my god, Anna, your profile is all bikini photos. Yeah, unless you live in Santa Monica, nobody believes you're at the beach that much. Well, isn't that what they want? I mean, isn't that what the people want? No, it doesn't matter what they want. We have to make this profile you, so that you attract who's best for you. Absolutely. We should get, like, a smiling photo of you in their stat. Ooh, and a jokey one. I mean, your personality is basically the physical manifestation of a rodeo clown, so I feel like you should be upfront about that. But you know what? The qualities of my dates have gone up since my own personal episode of Queer Eye for the Queer Girl. Having my friends help me showcase the essence of me, instead of what I just thought people wanted, has led to matches that are more suited to my personality, which has led to better connection, which has led to less false promises of exotic animals being present in the lives of potential love interests. And we didn't just tackle my profile. We also ended up discussing some of our weaknesses in dating, and really pushing each other to go outside of our comfort zones. Whether that's being bold and making the first move, or dating outside of our normal types and preferences.
