Uh... Right now? Yeah. I think I just changed it, actually. So it says, up in Tahoe for the month of February, need ski buds. And then I say, start with a face pic. Big desserts guy. Prefer thick guys and connection, but inquire within. Okay. This is so, like... I'm like, I feel like you're carving into my soul right now. I don't even show my friends this.

Filtering. Yeah. It's a time crunch. On Grindr, how it works is that you are given a grid, and you can see everybody who's around you. And that has really a lot of positives, but a lot of cons as well, because everyone can reach out to you, talk to you if you want.

Because I'm pretty sure heaven is missing an angel or maybe it's just the Mandalorian without his helmet. Hey, it's pretty good. Depends on how cringe you would find that. Um, or you could go with, I know you're not really my daddy, but wannabe.

I'm pretty picky. And I know some people are like, let's just grab a drink and see if the vibe is there. But I think there needs to be a good foundation. Texting and chatting before the date is like... The predate, right?

I think if I were able to spend less time filtering and it can give me recommendations on people that they think I'd be a good match with, that would be really cool.

Introductions work on a first date. I think introductions typically, I'm a hugger, so I start with a hug. Some people go for the handshake, and I'm like, no, we've already been chatting. Let's not make this weird, right?
