@alice I tried, for years, to talk to the "guys holding fish" about if they would take me fishing as a date and it was always: "oh that was one time on my buddy's boat" or "oh, that was from a trip" or "we were on a charter boat"

They NEVER actually FISH!!!!

Similar experience matching and chatting with women who have a picture of themselves river rafting/rock climbing/skydiving/outdoorsy-ing. I now subconsciously caption those photos "here's that one and only time ever I did [activity] that I have no intention of doing again but posted because I want you to think I am adventurous. Also, it was eight years ago."

I am betting that straight men do this constantly. Seems very much like a dude thing.

@Mikal @alice yeah, I learned the hard way that people mostly falsely represent themselves as outdoorsy because that's a way of trying to avoid fat people.

Jokes on them, I'm fat and outdoorsy.

Huh, that had never occurred to me but I guess it kind of makes sense? I always assumed it was because being outdoorsy or adventurous is hip, especially in my two dating geographies (Northern California and southern Arizona).

Ugh. Why are people. I'm starting to see the appeal of robots 😂
