even for normal people they're not really designed with human joy in mind....but GOD it's miserable trying to start a real thing just from cold texting

I had minimal matches for 2-3 years taking my own photos, like between 1-3 I think. I asked my buddy's GF to take some pictures of me playing with their dogs, and asked her to choose which ones went up from a woman's perspective. Not my first choices but it was a complete 180 for me. Had matches within the week, and I'm currently dating my last match from 4 years ago.

It is difficult, but it's workable.
