Love Me Tinder


The world wide web has turned into an actual, web. It has twisted the once innocent ways of love, into a twisted match making matrix, or even a web of lies. Have you ever wondered what your lover, partner, or husband is doing on their Smart Phones? What apps they have and who they are talking to? Or if you will be Catfished on your fifth attempt of a date with yet a new candidate? Sometimes, these apps and these sites for love can make you feel like you have Bats in the Belfry...





The number one reason that I have seen it being used for lately is for love. Browsing apps late at night, soul music jamming in the background, your lying in bed feeling absolutely alone or horny, no other soul around, or there could be many around you and you just feel like your in a pit of doom all on your own, with no one to open up to, and so you think, perhaps I can find someone to tell my troubles to who might actually care about it. Perhaps I can reveal my soul through a white screen and gigabytes, and expect them to completely get me within a weeks time and know it will turn into something meaningful. 



Not only this, but then you have apps that cater to those seeking for someone, just anyone, whether a soul mate, or be it casual sex meet ups, and exciting flings, heck it doesn't matter anymore, you could want your toes licked and I know you could find an app for that even, I know you can on Craigslist, ha ha, no joke.


Social media, the web, whatever you want to call it, has turned love, into a game.

My favorite as of right now, is the app called, Tinder. Swipe right if you're interested and left if you aren't interested. A game based solely on pictures and age, unless you decide to tap and see what lies behind these pictures, but how many actually tap to see? Then, it is an array of chatting and finally the next step, giving out your number, and the meet up if it ever goes that far...? How many of you, us, I include myself in this, have desperately searched through a collage of photos on the web hoping this is the one, or maybe they are great at fucking? Maybe it is sexual, maybe you really do want a relationship? Who knows, only the one they call God, and yourself really know what you are looking for.


Then, it is the presentation...yes, I said the presentation. The same is for guys as it is for girls, the way you look in a picture, perhaps what you are wearing, doing, or even have in the picture also depends on how the person who is looking at that picture will take you. If you have breasts hanging out and cleavage then the guy says, "hey look, this will be fun to play with!", oh but maybe you have glasses and you are well dressed and the guys says, "hmmm this could be wife material?!", nope. The presentation does matter, but in all actuality, it doesn't. Sure you see a girl and think this, but when you meet her, then what? For men, my favorite saying is, "Pussy, don't have a face!", and it is true. Sorry if I offend anyone, but it is so true.


What happened to courting? Or dating in other words? What happened to those silly stories parent tell their kids of how they met and who introduced them, or maybe it was a silly incident that brought them together like the movie When Harry Met Sally, but then the reminder that life is not a movie comes flashing forward, and yet again I am left wondering if a Smart Phone is the only way I am able to find someone, and even then, make it actually work or last?
