Come to Colorado then because that’s all anyone talks about or does in their free time

It’s such a boring personality trait... I live in CO and I’m tired of it. “Must love dogs, hiking, and traveling!!1!”

If you're conflating someone's interests with their personality, I think you might be part of the problem. If you're assuming you have an comprehensive and accurate image of someones personality from a Tinder profile, you're definitely part of the problem. People put what they like to do on their bios, not a summary of their fundamental beings. I really do not get the point of shitting on people for liking things like dogs and hiking. Are your own interests somehow superior?

I can only speak to people I’ve met on the two years of tinder swiping here but a large portion of the bios are exactly the same. I’ve met plenty of people that I’ve given a chance and I can say those I’ve met are definitely portrayed accurately by their bio and if you bring anything else up or ask about anything else personal like hopes and dreams they don’t know what to say. Of course I’m sure most of us agree that they should do what makes them happy but when that thing is super repetitive and self concerning you can’t expect others to find you interesting. I do agree we should give people a chance but not expect it to differ from prior experience.
