& now, a selection of genuine dating app profiles I've come across:
"Don't have to worry about meeting my parents, I don't have any." (O-oh!)
"Gender equality and that, you message me first"

Adam, 23: "Just broke up with Eve over a Granny Smith." (Ok, this guy wins 'most creative'
"As you can tell, just like Flappy bird, my game is dead."
(This truly terrifying trauma dump, and that's coming from me!) "My sister had a baby and I took it over after she passed away and the baby lost all its legs and arms and now its just a stump but I take care of it with my wife and... and its growing and its fairly happy... and its difficult because I'm working a second shift at the factory to put food on the table but all the love that I see in that little guy's face it makes it worth it in the end." (Like what's a gal meant to do with this?)
"A quick rant about: (in an angry Irish accent) MY HOUSEMATES KEEP LEAVING BANANA PEELS ON THE FLOOR IT'S REALLY *makes a steretypical, 1940s cartoon, falling on a banna peel noise*" (to be fair, it was a very good impression)

A man with a physique carved out of marble (I wish!) and a heart that beats for the thrill of the game. *David Attenborough voice falters* A-and his love for the ocean that knows no bounds.

"That is a horrible question to try and answer"
"Don't start this the infinite loop of overthinking"
"This question has been troubling me for all existence" (I didn't mean to trouble you for all existence Kyle)
"Great question, depends on if it was now or at the height of their times. At the height, pirate. Now, cowboy without a doubt."
"Some combo of all? A cowmurate? Perhaps?"
"All of the above, don't make me choose."
"Bruh, I'd be Captain Billy the kid san"
"Why not all three?"
"I would rather be a wizard., but if I must choose, I'd be a pirate. I don't fancy pilaging or thievery but F*** I love maps."
