So the last male Northern White Rhino on Earth is on Tinder and having more luck than all of us. Actual profile quotes include: “The fate of my species literally depends on me. I perform well under pressure. I like to eat grass and chill in the mud. 6 ft tall and 5,000lbs if it matters.”

Now I’ve never done Tinder, Match.com, Plenty of Fish or any of that. The extent of my attempts at online/app dating included two dates using Bumble where I could at least be the one to initiate contact. I should have known better when I got the app and in the first 20ish guys, I knew or had met maybe 5 of them through work and life in general. Here were my rules as I ventured into that madhouse:
Hard swipe left (or pass) for the following:
1. If I have ever met you in my entire life.
2. You have more than one douchebag photo.
3. You have no bio. Just name and age, maybe occupation. If you can’t bother to come up with at least 5 words to describe yourself, you’re obviously not going to go the extra mile… ever.
4. You call yourself an entrepreneur… or work in real estate.
All that said, I deleted it because it just became too stressful. I don’t want to feel obligated to respond to people or be on some sort of time crunch. Also, more than once, I’d swipe left and then get very convenient messages or friend requests on other forms of social media. More power to you if it works for you but at this point in my life, nope. Delete.
