Swiping left

Today, while perusing potential Tinder matches, I came across an uber-lady. She’s into beach volleyball , snowboarding, hiking, water skiing, and she’s been to 70 countries! She caps off her profile with this old chestnut: I’m looking for someone who can keep up.
*swipes left.*
It’s not the first time I’ve read this line – it’s hardly original – but each time I see it it inspires a new wave of antipathy.
That’s her criteria? Not intelligence, warmth, humor, introspection, but somebody who can keep pace with her daily round of incessant activities.
I’ll pass.

They like to use “work hard, play hard” quite often on those dating sites. To me that means you’re a miserable workaholic who gets really drunk on the weekends.

Exactly. Corporate Amerika strikes again.

Sorry, I’ll see myself out.
