Build A Stranger's Dating App Profile To See If They'll Actually Fall In Love

Dating is hard. Let's see if you can make it work.

Hey, everyone! I'm Spencer, and I hate dating apps. I just don't get them, but I'm still very new to the whole online dating scene, so I need your help.

That's where you come in! You're going to build my dating app profile for me. Below are a bunch of polls where you can vote on which photos I should use, what my bio says, and everything else. Think of this as a fun little game, and the grand prize is a potential invite to my future wedding.

Here's a little bit about me, in case it's helpful: I'm 30, bi (I guess? I usually just say that because it's an easy blanket statement without getting into specific definitions, but "open" is probably more accurate), and ideally looking for a long-term relationship. I'm an identical twin (I'm older by two hours), super competitive in sports, and I love board games and trivia. When we're not in a pandemic, most of my free time is spent at the gym or at the movies (I'm big into Old Hollywood and the Oscars). Also, don't hate me, but I've never had mac 'n' cheese before.

Let's get started!

  1. I'm 30. What should the age range of my dating pool look like?

Now it's profile picture time. I don't have any photos of me holding a fish, but here are two that I genuinely like...

I need another pic on my profile. Here are two similar photos of me, somehow taken a few months apart, even though I'm wearing the exact same thing in them...

  1. Okay, last photo. Should it be a shirtless pic, like every other guy apparently has on their profile, or no?

  1. I've seen a lot of people include their height in their bios. Should I do it too (I'm 5'11")?

  1. Should I include any "passions" from the app's preset list, which is super random and kind of unhinged?
