So a few months ago, 4 months ago to be precise. I downloaded a little gem of an app called Tinder. For those of you who aren't interested in the dating/hook-up/casual sex version of "HOT or NOT.com" you may not know about this technological invention of smart phone genius.
Tinder, my friends, is a great place for one to browse the locals in your area, it allows you to view pictures of singles (or cheaters, or non-single browsers,) looking for love on the internet. Ok I take that back, Tinder is a great place to judge whether or not you'd want to bang other humans based on their appearance/facebook photos. If you "swipe right" and the other person has seen your photo and done the same, you gain the ability to make actual digital contact with them.
I personally joined because while recently single, this is a great way to scope out dudes from the privacy of my own home, without the actual desire of ACTUALLY meeting another human. Yes, it's cowardly, but I, like many of my female compatriots, probably won't ever meet up with someone via this app. This was further confirmed by.... the fish pictures.
THIS, my good people of Tumblr, is why I created this blog. While swiping along, I managed to come across a man, holding up a dead fish as his profile picture and I thought, hmmm, this is how you choose to represent yourself to a mate?
I have no problem with fishing, in fact, I love fishing. Its hard to beat salt water, a sea breeze and a good ole brewski while waiting for a nibble (IN MORE WAYS THAN ONE!! ha ha.. ha...) I don't have a problem with other people fishing, even the men with fish pictures fishing. Yet I have yet to meet a lady who's like. "OH HELLS YES! THAT MAN IS HOLDING A FISH, he's the ONE!!!" Maybe I'm not hanging out with the right crowd, but in my limited research so far, everyone is a little baffled by the fish photos.
hence the creation of TINDER FISHES!
