If you love using dating apps, this is not the service for you

I love being on dating apps for all my coworkers and creepsters to see my profile
— Said NO ONE, Like EVER
I prefer endless chats and making more penpals over building chemistry in real life.
— All the fake profiles
Swiping is my favorite way to spend free time. Algorithms really know my type.
