Soooooo how do you feel about about a 37 year old woman based in NYC who's very reasonable looking, is a passionate chocoholic and thinks that sort of post is right up her alley. Asking for a friend! Oh who am I kidding....asking for me lol!
Great post!! And I hope Substack is treating you well!!
Haha hello Kah! I'm in Orlando, so NYC is a bit far but I'm always down to chat and see if we got chemistry. Ya just never know, so I don't rule anything out.
I'm on IG @therickmc. Also, I've never heard anyone describe themselves as "reasonable looking" so props for the original take there!
LOVE IT! Girls are dumb dumbs if they don't jump at the chance to go on a date with you! Questions:
Will we hear the catfish story?
Very smart to have that "back row in photos" proof
My friend once told me there shouldn't/couldn't be two funny people in a relationship. (I was dating a really unfunny guy at the time.) Is that the stupidest advice you ever heard?
There actually isn't a catfish story, it's just supposed to be a joke about the trope that every man posts a picture holding a fish. Though I may have low key picked up a stalker...
This wasn't a question but yes, I also like the back row picture. I will say someone I'm talking to now said I "had her at 'allergic to many things but not to love'"
I think it's awful advice for me. My best relationships have been when the other person can roast a bit and hold her own. Friends would usually remark something like, "you two bicker like an old married couple," which is now my benchmark for if something's real or not.
This was so funny and sweet. It's actually a great beginning to a TV show about a single comic. Hint hint.
I wrote about what my dating profile would look like as an aging person; not pretty. Ie: Let's go for a romantic walk-- down the driveway-- to get the mail...
I figure I'll have more of a Larry David approach where I wait till it's sold and then totally freak out about having to actually write it. Need a more outgoing Sein-like figure to help write and sell it.
The Bible will just be figured out along the way...
It truly isn't. The part that gets frustrating is a lot of folks love it initially but then the back and forth reverts to standard dating app problems with ghosting and what not. But it's at least an improvement on a standard profile (in my experience).
Also, Bumble wouldn't let me upload it at all cause they have some AI scanning that disallows any pictures that include text. Which is annoying.
Also, regarding the opening bit about returning to the market for a limited time....how long do you guys think limited is? Cause I've kinda been back out there for almost a year now and I'm just not sure what the cut-off is here. I don't want to expire like a jug of milk....
My favorite line from a genius post: "That’s why it’s integral we get the word out about my profile." The use of WE :) :) :)
Something something network effects.
(btw, it appears people have been slacking cause I haven’t gone viral…)

Ah Florida is a bit too far. I am not too sure this would work out :(
Haha thanks- it feels a bit presumptuous to say I think I look good lol! That's for someone else to say, not me. Lovely meeting you on here!

Hah doing it from that perspective is definitely a good twist! If you posted it I'd love to read it.
As for the show, I am eagerly awaiting a call from NBC...
You have the pilot and Bible?

I've been saying for years that men should submit pitch decks — the information architecture of Hinge is not good enough!!

Nailed it!
Thank you Daphne!
