Second Date Update.

I saw a TikTok recently that said if you're on the dating apps right now, it's like the last chopper out of Vietnam.

Oh no.

Where a couple years ago, it was actually working.

You could find quality matches on there that weren't Russian bots.

But now it's like waiting through the wet

Like, I just want somebody that I get along with, that I share things with.

Okay.

Well, slow down with your long list of demands for the perfect woman.

I mean, I feel like I've been doing things right.
