I'd dump you for not knowing the difference between then and than.

SpaceNoodle is the real killer here

On a serious note, Aziz Ansari (Tom Haverford from Parks and Rec) has a pretty good book called Modern Romance that's worth a read. When he does standup, he'll have a volunteer from the audience swipe though their Tinder (or Bumble or whatever) matches. The amount of trivial stuff that people dismiss potential partners for is absolutely amazing. People will be like "they're a Bears fan, swipe left."

So people could be compatible on 999/1000 different levels, but our methods of online dating almost allow too much choice, because people feel like they should hold out to find someone who matches 1000/1000.

Joke's on you, that's basically my only criterion.

I thought you meant that hating the Chicago Bears was the only thing you were looking for in a partner, so I assumed you were a Green Bay Packers fan.

Oh. No, quite the opposite. That makes me realize I have two criteria: good grammar, and a loathing of sports.

I'm sorry, that's actually a mistake, fixed it

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

It's too late, I already dumped you

No coaching, I expect you to already be trained.
