Keeping Cynicism At Bay

Welcome to our Podcast, Swipeless in Seattle , our last resort before committing dating-related self-flagellation.

Dating is weird enough without a f@cking pandemic going on. Given that the world will soon be ending, we needed to find a way to continue to be disappointed by others. But unfortunately, as elder millennials, we know just enough about current trends to know that we are missing out on most of them. And, since necessity is the mother of invention, we found no other choice but to dive into the thirst-trap that is online dating. 

Not only is it hard to date, it's sometimes hard to know what is going through people's minds, and in order to ascertain whether or not you are going crazy it's good to ask friends of the opposite sex for advice, encouragement, or the best way to tie a noose to the high beams in your ceiling. So instead of trying to go on google translate, we decided to actually check out this social community thing you hear about sometimes and ask friends for help. 
We hope you find it useful, entertaining, perhaps even cathartic or allergen-free. 

Apparently you date using apps now or something? We tried to go to meetonlinefarmersingles.com/chatroom but it was taken down, so we had to research which apps the cool kids are using so we could avoid them at all costs. 

This is the story of our tragedy. We hope you find it amusing.
