Some of the Best Things I Have Read on Tinder Profiles.

Here is a list of some of the best things I have read on Tinder profiles:



"I am a human male."

"Gods child"

"My dog will come first (let me explain) she's my best friend and she won't live another 50 years like we might so while she's with me she'll be number # 1."

"I know the answer to life, the universe, everything."

"I honestly hate saying that I own a business because it sounds so pretentious."

"I miss my old friends that I have not seen for years, you know who you are..."

"The only thing that surpasses my respect for America... Is my respect for women."

"I believe that logic and rhetoric are not interchangeable"

"I eat muffins and ponder about the paradoxical conflicts in nature."

"I'm into horses. And rivers. I listen to music all the time, unless I'm on a river or a horse."

"If you hate cops and guns, swipe left."

"I'm basically the combination of James Dean and Steve Jobs."

"I am enigmatically ineffable...."

"Get to know me. You'll like me.... maybe... I don't know."

"I am a humanist hell bent on creating heaven on earth."

"Thriving in the present tense."

"I can't trust anyone who doesn't love pie."

"I am a hiker, a singer, a unique individual."

"I am the uncle that I always want to have!!!"

"Self expression is beautiful. The sense of flow is what I pursue."

"I'm not in any way normal."

"I can't get enough of penguins and dinosaurs."

"I'm actually pretty famous but not that many people know about it."

"Mostly looking for someone to enable my dream of Corgi ownership."

"I'm very dyslexic!"

"I like to pick things up and put them down again."

"Wherever I go, there I am."

"Age isn't accurate, nor is work hist."

"A dollar bill isn't worth that much in England, but it's worth a lot in Mexico. We all mean different things to different people. Finding true love is about finding your Mexico, where you go somewhere and you say, 'I get how many tacos for $3? Holy ****! I wanna stay here forever!' And you just hope that that feeling is mutual, and that's love."

A Kernel of Meaningfulness.

I'm always thinking existentially--where does meaning come from in this absurd world? Does life have meaning by itself? Do we create our own meaning?

I think it's probably some of both, but what I've been thinking lately is that life is inherently worthwhile.

It must be. Because being outside and looking up through the trees feels meaningful. And listening to music while you drive around angry and eat an ice cream cone feels meaningful. Feeling the hot sun on your skin feels meaningful.

Like, if you peeled back the physics and psychology and physiology of eating an ice cream cone, inside, left there, would be a kernel of meaningfulness.

In the moments of quiet when you peel back the layers, there is something comforting about knowing that life need not be happy because it is already meaningful.
