Stopping all fediverse activities. Good bye. Absolutely stupid indisriminate bans by mods on various instances make it clear to me lemmy and fediverse does not want content.
if I ever get back to fediverse It would be on my own instance as its clear to me nothing short of that is going to work.

Also people who say "don't just write hey!" and then have absolutely no hooks in their profile.

Put a hook. Not a cliché or pickup line. Something you want them to talk to you about. You set the starting conditions. Use that advantage.

"I have an 11 inch penis. Around. Think about it."

I would definitely be intrigued, but maybe not enough to keep the communication going with this woman

"don't worry about the length, that's not important, definitely has nothing to do with the fact that my nickname in college was The Ultimate Frisbee"

How met my wife on OkCuipd. She had a detailed profile and saw we liked the same shows, so I used that to start a conversation. And then went from there. Been together 13 years now!

Okcupid used to be so much better. You could search by interests. Like last year I was sitting here going "can't I just find another nerd who likes Elden Ring?", and I remembered you used to be able to.

Match Group has blood on their hands and if there was justice they would not be living rich lives.

Oh yeah I remember that. Had filters to. Like I smoked cigarettes back then. So it asked if you did allowed people who didn't like smokers filter out. Vis versa I could find like minded people. Like my wife who didn't smoke but didn't have issues with me smoking. At least at the time. Thanks to her been smoke free 10 years now.

Mine was my hatred of mayo, pretty much every non hey I got in bumble was about Mayo.
