Why are all your photos in the same place?” Baxa asked her date who then admitted he’d never been to Mykonos.

“He was just like, ‘Yeah, I just used Chat to update my Hinge since I didn’t have many photos of me that weren’t selfies. Like, they’re still me. It’s still my face,” Baxa recalled him saying. She quickly ended the date.

Wow, if you're going to deceive people at least put in some effort. Prepare photos of 2-3 places, I mean come on man only one is just dumb. And why would you not prepare a story for the pictures? Did he not anticipate that someone would ask about the photos on a first date? Hell, even if he kept just the one location, his excuse could have been that he just doesn't have a lot of photos that aren't selfies. This dude is fucking dumb as rocks...lucky for her I guess.

He expects that his potential dates are as unintelligent and lazy as he is. Actually, if he's looking for someone who shares his "values", filtering out anyone smarter and more energetic might not be a bad strategy . . . 🤔
