Swipe Left on Hospital Beds and Funerals, Ladies!

Ladies, we get it. You’re the embodiment of compassion. You’d nurse a wounded pigeon back to health if it looked at you with those big, pleading eyes. But let’s talk about your online dating profile – specifically, the photos. We’ve seen the family album shots: Grandma in her hospital gown looking like she’s about to drop the hottest mixtape of 2024, or you at Uncle Bob’s funeral, solemnly posing with tissues in hand like you’re auditioning for a role in a soap opera.

Now, we’re not saying your heart isn’t in the right place. You’re just showing your potential suitors that you’re capable of love, care, and emotional depth. But let’s face it: the guy swiping through profiles isn’t exactly looking for a bedside nurse (unless it’s a roleplay thing, but that’s a whole other topic). He’s looking for someone to laugh with, to adventure with, and yes, maybe even someone to have the occasional pillow fight with.

So, when you’re curating your profile, think less Grey’s Anatomy, more Golden Girls. Show off your inner Blanche, not your inner Meredith. Let your photos reflect the vibrant, lively spirit that makes you irresistible. Save the hospital drama for when you’re binge-watching medical dramas together on a rainy Sunday afternoon. And as for the funeral pics? Well, let’s just say there are better ways to show you’ve got depth than posing next to Great Aunt Mildred’s urn.

Remember, your profile isn’t just a window into your life; it’s your opening line, your first impression, your chance to make him laugh so hard he snorts coffee out his nose. So, ditch the sad scenes and embrace the joy. After all, you’re not just looking for a partner – you’re looking for someone who’ll laugh with you through life’s ups and downs, without needing a tissue every time they swipe right. Happy swiping, and may your matches be as lively as your profile pictures!
