Added “swipe right for a free report on why your dating profile sucks” and yeah surprisingly boys only want to talk about how rude that is and not how basic their profiles are

also bumble won’t let you send pdfs
“This is a bit of a throwback but remember: your goal is for me to choose you over the bear. That’s not what I see here.”
@gintoxicating I had a coworker who had a side-gig helping people with their cover letters and resumes. She always said that men were the worst; they take every correction personally and want to fight you on every suggestion.
@CowboyWho oh god I tried to help a guy with his first big boy resume and despite my 20 years of experience in the industry including tons as a hiring manager it was a struggle even getting him to accept my advice like “this is a typo” or “half your resume shouldn’t be a single image of a logo”

Even at work providing like doc review comments i gotta start with some fluffy deferential sentence to not cause people[1] to get defensive like “im sure you thought of this and its very nitpicky but someone like me less familiar than you with this subject area might benefit from a definition of what a gorgdormalfn is :)”

I kinda miss just being able to say “define” lol

[1] I say people, but it has only been men

@CowboyWho
In my current job, the only time we had a cishet man work under me, we had to let him go because of the very first code review… he fought every single comment and refused to update his code. He always was there on a temporary basis as he wanted to go back to university the next year so I would have had to maintain the code afterward but he wouldn't listen.
I was still in the egg at the time so it wasn't even because of misogyny 🤦 (and I hope he either changed a lot or dropped out as a student because he was going into medicine…)

@gintoxicating

@gintoxicating that's honestly feels like a general problem with dating apps though

random people's about me: "haha i never know what to write here. dm me, i can't see likes."

and if you actually put stuff in your about me you get showered with likes (unfortunately because everyone thinks you will be their top because you showed basic self confidence)

@gintoxicating People don't want help, they want to be angry that they aren't recognized for the tiniest effort they have already put in.
