1. I am a 25 year old woman
GiphyI'd like to think I am better than "swiping right" on men...but lets be honest here; I'm not. I just figured that now, I can attempt to meet someone in real life. Maybe at the Y or one night when I'm downtown with the girls. You know, as long as he's not totally drunk. I want to step away from my phone for a bit to really see what's out there.
2. It was killing my battery life
GiphyI am not a fan of being one of those humans who walks around with a cord constantly attached to them because their phone is dying. (My Kim Kardashian game does that enough). It was killing me to have to plug my phone in to see if a dude likes me or not. It was time to save my phone.
3. CREEPY DUDES
GiphyThis kind of says it all...BUT dudes were actually the creepiest on Tinder and Bumble. Like I'm sorry, but if your profile pictures is just of your boy child chest with ZERO muscles and you're basically trying to show me your junk, you are garbage. I have ZERO time for that in my life. I don't want to hang out with you just to end up hooking up and regretting it at the end of the day. I am actually looking for a person to spend time with, kick it with, take to family functions, you name it. NO TIME FOR GAMES.
4. Swiping in public is horrific
GiphyAttempting to be on a dating app in public is a science. You first have to lower your brightness, then you have to turn all forms of volume OFF (Tinder has it's own text tone,) and then you should move to a spot by the wall so no one can see behind you. The worst is when you're friends know what you're doing and then call you out for it IN FRONT OF THE WORLD.
5. I'm ready for a real man
GiphyDon't get me wrong, I am sure there are some super nice and sweet guys on the apps, (I've met a few), but I am ready to have an adult relationship with someone and see where it goes. I don't want to lie about how we met or feel ashamed because I met him on an app. I want to feel proud and know that there is a reason that person is in my life.
