A request to all guys on dating apps: Can you please stop writing your profession as your description? Are you nothing more than a software engineer? This is not a LinkedIn profile, Jeez! Do you not have interesting things to share? You guys describe yourself as 'software engineer at Google' and then expect women to not swipe you right for money. Weird. Regards, A woman who just started dating in the Bay
Yeah, it's not LinkedIn indeed! Post your TC!
I notice a lot of Indian and Asian minorities do this
I believe you have the option to edit the description always, even if it gets picked up from another socual media by default. If you are in the dating market and you can't make the effort to edit the description, then I am sorry to say that you don't deserve any dates. You mean saying 'software engineer at Google' gets you more dates than saying 'An outgoing guy who loves adventure sports as much as reading books'?
Uptight much? If you can't look beyond a character limited description to find out about a person then you are the source of your own problems.
There are a 100 'software engineers at Google' on dating apps. Don't you want to put some effort to reveal your true self over your profession, to get right-swiped? No wonder engineers always complain about not getting laid enough.
I have a partner. I met him by going out and doing things I like in my spare time. My actions reveal my personality and nature over time and lucky for me, I met someone that took some time to get to know me and me him. . I don't believe in trying to be the best version of myself in 200 words or less to try and impress someone I haven't as much as clapped eyes on. You should read blogs from match.com founder to see how impossible it is for a heterosexual man to appeal to a heterosexual woman on dating apps. It's soul destroying. You feel entitled to know the best bits of someone's life before you swipe them out of existence? No thanks!
I know right.. all I want to see is height, shirtless pic, and dick size LOL
Agreed. People feel the need to build their identity around their title and/or place of employment, instead of building upon their interests outside of the office. I know several people who bank on "Software Engineer" as a panty dropping title because they think it signals intelligence and wealth. Sorry to say, it's not nearly as impressive as you all think it is, especially in a saturated market.
We will agree to your demands assuming you and all women agree to eliminate all duck face selfies and questions about whether or not we can "keep up." Do we have a deal?
Huh, and who are you to request that? Lots of women are looking to be in a family and a guy who makes good money is a plus. Maybe that's what these guys are after.
I have a buddy who's a player. He also subtly shows that he's in tech. Girls like nice dinners, vacations, fancy stuff. He's not after the ones that look for a guy with a good heart.
Right on the money, woman.
