The Way to Win Me Over Is: Why Hinge Prompts Make Me Want to Scream (and Swipe)

Okay, real talk: if I have to answer one more Hinge prompt like "the way to win me over is..." I might actually combust. I know, I know, it’s supposed to be cute and help me find my soulmate or whatever, but why does it feel like a pop quiz for my personality? Like, am I supposed to say something deep ("remember my favorite snack") or just admit I want someone who’ll let me win at Mario Kart? And don’t even get me started on the pressure to be funny but not too funny, sincere but not desperate. Half the time I’m just making up answers because apparently, “I want someone who won’t ghost me after three dates” is too much to ask. I swear, if I see one more guy say “just be yourself,” I’m going to throw my phone into the sea. Is anyone else just tired? #NoFilter #DatingAppBurnout #AdultingFail #RomanticRelationships
