Dating Apps

Think I am onto something. Namely, the idea that dating apps are not built for me. It would explain, like how no matter what place, I never have, anyone, remotely be interested in me. I'm not joking, like I spent a few years on OKCupid, NEVER got messages. I sent some, but rarely did a conversation pop up, and then it ended after two or three parts of a back and forth. And went to Bumble... no luck either. Only once have I ever had someone who I kept talking to, via text message. And then she ghosted me after a week or so. I'm wondering, because it's like, I notice everyone on Bumble seems to be looking like almost-supermodels. And then there's me, who has a picture of me meeting Ken Penders and Elliot S! Maggin at a festival, which is an interesting thing because I spent like two hours standing there waiting for Larry Houston, who directed most of the 90s animated X-Men, but he didn't show up. You should have seen the people gushing at meeting Penders since he did the Sonic the Hedgehog comics and such. Anyway, maybe I''m a weird guy, I like to dream that we'll have space travel to the stars in my lifetime, apple pie with cheddar cheese, and more, quit before I make this into a profile. I mean, the central irony is that I'm socially awkward and frightened in person, so I use the electronic comms networks we use in tis time period. Maybe I'm just, not meant for any of it. (Meanwhile the almost-Marxist in me is wondering if it's the problem of a society where meeting people for whatever purpose is commodified into some sort of "market". He generally doesn't get out much.)
