Too many fish in the sea?

Plenty of fish? Not anymore

I was going to write about body hair, trends and what to expect, but instead I couldn’t resist putting out there the phenomenon that is dating sites, men & fish!

While swiping to find someone to share your sofa, tell about your day, or just get to put the bins out, one spots some trends & similarities between profiles.  Some because of the pre-set criteria you set:

·       Distance

·       Age

·       Height

·       Location

·       Sexuality

·       Height

·       Ethnicity

·       Smoker

·       Have kids

·       Want kids

·       Personality type

·       Communication style

·       Education

·       Sleeping habits

·       Dietary preference

·       Workout

·       Zodiac

·       Covid vaccinated – which is actually a big thing apparently. 

Quite mind blowing really, but all so the algorithm to your preferences kicks in, I guess. It’s important you set these carefully, you can end up with completely mismatched suggestions. However, there is one choice missing, which I feel needs addressing!  The ENDLESS photos of men with dead fish – what future girlfriend or boyfriend wants to see that?  For someone who is passionate about the environment & campaigns for water health & security it’s an abomination!  What is even worse, I’ve seen men with animals they’ve shot!

·       By 2048 fish could be extinct

·       Nearly 80% of the worlds fisheries are already fully exploited, over exploited, depleted or in a state of collapse.

·       90% of large predatory fish such as shark, tuna, marlin & swordfish are already gone.

So I decided to put a sub-note on the bottom of my profile, in the hopes of deterring any wildlife killers:

“Some tips gents.  If you are holding a dead animal or fish, lying in an unmade bed or grabbing your crotch – I swipe left.”

I’ll leave you to mull this over, until next time – happy swiping (it’s hell on earth, can’t wait to delete!)
