Dear Tulsa Bae,
Is it not a curious paradox that so many people complain about online dating while simultaneously failing to fill out their profiles, contributing to the very cycle of frustration they claim to dislike?
Yours,

Dear Burnt Reynolds,
I’m not sure I’d call that a paradox. People who complain about dating apps aren’t necessarily the same ones with empty profiles. (Unless you’re talking about dating profiles that only say, “Dating apps suck. Give me a reason to delete this thing.” That’s boring; give us more!) But you point out a common frustration many have with online dating. Hell, I’ve had it too.
