Fish. Swipe.

Fish. Swipe.

Big fish. Swipe.

..why even post that fish. Swipe.

Half naked. Swipe.

Shut-in. Swipe.

Hmmm, likes hiking and camping. Decent picture. Ah! There it is: the half cut off picture of your ex. Swipe.

And on and on it goes. Nearly mindless attention on swiping dating apps. It’s more entertainment that actual engagement with anyone. Making quick judgements. Looking for “the one”. I feel like it’s all kind of a big joke online. You can’t meet anyone face to face, so it’s hard to know anyone. And if you don’t really know them, how can you trust them enough to meet them in person. It’s kind of a loop of distance I’ve put myself through as a fear of getting close to anyone.

But I enjoy the entertainment. Seriously, why are there so many fish photos. Do men really think women are into fishing that much?

Well what about this one. No immediate photos, just the opener question, and they seem to match mine! No…they exactly match mine. What? Word for word…they are the same. Tap-tap. Who is this person? What’s their profile picture?

…it’s a picture of me?
