Counter-suggestion (and this applies to everyone with an Android regardless of gender dating anyone else regardless of gender), do use your Android phone in front of your date because that weeds out psychos who would reject you over not owning their preferred product.

I'm 36, and a disabled veteran. I put that in my tinder profile, cause I know most women are going to hate that I'm not maximizing the selling of my life to capitalism.

I've had two chicks match with me just to tell me my profile is shit for including that - Whatevs if you're gonna swerve me for chillin on a pension let's get it out of the way instead of wasting my time until work comes up. ๐Ÿคท

I just now replied to another comment remaking I had never heard of "curve" being used like this. And there are already variants of it? How long has this been a thing?

Idk man I'm ancient in internet years haha. As for "variants" I'd say it's probably regional, but again hell if I know ๐Ÿ˜‚

Yeah, adopting behaviour to keep something like that in my life doesn't seem like doing myself a favour.
