Their pay wall covers the image on mobile. Can someone extract it?
Forget the hair, imagine what hobbies he considers normal.
My “normal” hobbies are home automation, smoking food, and reading about tech. I might let my kid talk me into getting into costume for a horror convention. Ladies: right this way!
If Dave thought that this picture of himself (clearly unshowered) was something to throw up on a billboard, I already know why he was struggling with dating apps.
I understand how much dating apps suck. But if you reject the reality that your pictures shouldn’t demonstrate a lack of basic hygiene, you’re not even really participating. It’s like insisting on going to bat with a pool noodle; I admire your dedication but nobody can consider it a genuine attempt.
I’ve done a triple take to try to see what you’re referring to but all I can conclude is that he has great hair. If I showered and let my hair dry it would look exactly like that.
Maybe I’m too old to be a good judge of what good hair looks like. That hair, especially with the large chunks (instead of just frizz) of flyaways looks dirty to me. Maybe it’s an artifact of the photoshopping?
If people are into it, awesome.
If people aren’t, and he loves it, still awesome.
My gut reaction to seeing it is “dirty” (rightly or wrongly), and on a dating app where left swipes are based on gut decisions in a fraction of a second.
I don’t think there is anything wrong with the guy, and I think switching the format is good, because you can’t dismiss a billboard as quickly as a tinder profile.
I think he maybe just has long hair and likes not tying it down. That’s a perfectly fine style these days - might not be to your taste, but many are down with it. It looks completely fine. I’ve worked with male engineers with shorter and less well-kept hair than that.
See I would rather date Dave in his normal state than pretending to be something he’s not.
