    It’s been a minute, but it was an automatic “no” when someone would answer “what are 5 things you can’t live without” were stuff like food, water, and air. Yes, I know that. Tell me about yourself!

    It was almost always men that answered that way.

    I know I’m incredibly dull. I’m average looking. I was a single parent. A decent picture and a little about myself and I did alright though, even with the ladies.

      I have bad news: lots of non-men also post useless stuff like “I can’t live without water lol” or “what are you looking for: my keys lmfao”

      Having a good profile is a skill, probably related to marketing, and some people have neither natural aptitude nor training in it.

        Sure, people of every gender do it. I was, at the time, not filtering by gender. I noticed that the useless answers were usually from men.

        It doesn’t mean that men are inherently bad at it (some men had great profiles), but as a whole they presented themselves poorly compared to everyone else.
