Find yourself a good chiropractor

If you want to try online dating, my first word of advice would be "find a good chiropractor."

Why tho?

Because you'll find that if you have basic communication skills, the majority of people of the apps do not (this goes for both men and women).

You'll develop some intense back pain from having to carry the conversation all the time.

When I've used apps, I quickly lost interest in someone who could not hold a conversation. Come on people, you know how this works. It's literally a job interview. We are selling ourselves to find a compatible partner. Part of that is being engaging and that means holding a conversation. Whether it's via text, phone calls or video calls, if you can't hold a conversation with someone, chances are it's not going anywhere.

And for me this trickles down into dating as well. Let's face it...I have the gift of gab. I like to talk. Sometimes I talk too much. It's easy to shut me up. Just take over the conversation. I WANT to be able to have discussions with someone.

I identify as a sapiosexual. If you are new to online dating apps, you may see this term occasionally. Basically it means, I need to be attracted to your brain and what else is going on inside, looks are just not enough for me. I want deep conversations. I value intelligence. And creativity. And uniqueness. I mean, dang, if a guy isn't into music / Star Wars / Kevin Smith (ok maybe not all three but DEF music is a driving factor), it's just not gonna happen. And this starts off with engaging conversation and getting to know someone.

Not saying everyone has to be sapiosexual. But nowadays if you are gonna go down that dreaded rabbit hole of online dating, be able to say more than wassup or how was your day. And def skip the eggplant pics.
