Six weeks ago, I changed my Grindr status to “Instead of ‘hey’, feel free to start by telling me something interesting about yourself!”

I got, shall we say, a variety of responses.

Some of them shared a little

Some of them shared a lot

Some of them were educational

Some of them wanted to get the icebreaker out of the way

Some of them diversified their portfolio

Some of them seem like we would be friends

Some of them went to Oberlin

Some of them could write a great blog

Some of them got meta

Some of them were having a stroke

Some of them taught me about my own shortcomings

Some of them have busy Christmases

Some of them needed a hug and hot cocoa

Some of them spoke in intriguing metaphors

Some of them had MBAs

Some of them sent dick pics

Some of them did better on their second attempt

Some of them required follow-ups

Some of them misunderstood the assignment

Some of them would have made fascinating conversation partners

Some of them humblebragged

Some of them gave good backstory

Some of them confirmed negative stereotypes

Some of them read their horoscope every morning

One of them, at least, was husband material
