@neil @girlonthenet the old classic of men having no clue what women actually want and managing to be a total turn off in the process. I must admit it took far longer than I care to admit to realise that the reason I’ve had to turn down people while dating others, and often struggled to find someone when single, is that it’s obvious to others when you’re being a totally cringeworthy try hard and just being yourself is often the most attractive thing.

@neil thank you pal <3 I agree it is an absolute travesty. Thank you for supporting the very specific cause of 'getting me a boyfriend' =)

@neil @girlonthenet my wife told me that the picture of me wearing a feather boa is what made her think I might be different, that was on the OG OkCupid.

I should add I was wearing regular clothes too, not _just_ the boa.

@neil @girlonthenet I still don’t know what swipe left and swipe right mean, and at this point I’m scared to ask.
