Happy Thursday, TSO30 😁

I’ve noticed that there are differences in the types of people I find attractive in real life vs. Those I match with on online dating apps.

Case in point:

Recently, I am starting to find a guy more and more attractive. The context in which I’ve met this guy does not allow me to pursue him or vice versa (ugh). Physically, he is not my ‘usual type’. And I feel that I would have swiped left on him if I saw his profile.

But in the past two weeks I’ve seen this guy around, there is something about the way he carries himself, how he articulates his thoughts, and his mannerisms that I find oddly attractive. Aspects of himself that cannot be captured by a few photos and words on an app.

On the other hand, the guys I match with in dating apps are likely guys I find (physically) attractive in real life…But I don’t end up finding them attractive beyond that.

Does anyone else notice this too?

r/TorontoSinglesOver30 has reached over 2000 members! And here I was thinking the first 40 OG members who joined were bots when this was started 😂

Thanks, all. I’ve met and continue to meet some really lovely people through this sub. There is some solace knowing that there are other folks like me in the city.
