David Cline is one of a growing number of singles trying creative ways to meet people offline: “You have to find a way to express yourself the best you can.”
Forget the hair, imagine what hobbies he considers normal.
My “normal” hobbies are home automation, smoking food, and reading about tech. I might let my kid talk me into getting into costume for a horror convention. Ladies: right this way!
His Instagram is hilarious.
Their pay wall covers the image on mobile. Can someone extract it?
If Dave thought that this picture of himself (clearly unshowered) was something to throw up on a billboard, I already know why he was struggling with dating apps.
I understand how much dating apps suck. But if you reject the reality that your pictures shouldn't demonstrate a lack of basic hygiene, you're not even really participating. It's like insisting on going to bat with a pool noodle; I admire your dedication but nobody can consider it a genuine attempt.
I've done a triple take to try to see what you're referring to but all I can conclude is that he has great hair. If I showered and let my hair dry it would look exactly like that.
Maybe I'm too old to be a good judge of what good hair looks like. That hair, especially with the large chunks (instead of just frizz) of flyaways looks dirty to me. Maybe it's an artifact of the photoshopping?
If people are into it, awesome.
If people aren't, and he loves it, still awesome.
My gut reaction to seeing it is "dirty" (rightly or wrongly), and on a dating app where left swipes are based on gut decisions in a fraction of a second.
I don't think there is anything wrong with the guy, and I think switching the format is good, because you can't dismiss a billboard as quickly as a tinder profile.
On the other hand, if that's Dave on a daily basis, good that he's upfront. WYSIWYG?
Holy shit, the 4chan take immediately attacking someone's physical looks.
It's "Paid by Dave's friends", so I don't know if this is from pity for his situation, or if he asked for help to do it. The saving grace is the cat picture, he might have a chance.
