Apparently, the total Super Bowl viewers were at an all-time low since 2008 (not sure what happened 11 years ago?). Most of the excitement came from the aftermath of Adam Levin’s tank top looking like curtains and pillows. I wasn’t too overly excited about the commercials, but Serena…
Did Serena Williams swipe right and meet her husband on Bumble?
Her message in the Bumble commercial is strong.
‘Make the first move. Don’t wait for people to find you, find them in work, in love, and in life. Don’t wait to be given power.’
It’s inspiring, but as I’m swiping it’s exhausting!
I am a pretty confident lady, and I don’t have a problem breaking the ice once matched with someone. Unless I missed something, the hope is to connect with your possible imperfect perfect match?! Most of the time I attempt to come up with a witty introduction. I’ll wait up to 24 hours hoping a good conversation will start, and it’s so disappointing to get a simple ‘hi’ in return. My effort to make a move did not qualify for an engaging come back?! The struggle is real, and it can be so unsatisfying at times. It’s a vicious cycle and I can’t imagine I’m alone on this roller coaster.
There are times you have these conversations that are so fluid and exciting. You can’t wait to meet this person. And then POOF, they Ghost you?! A nice goodbye: I’m not that in to you or I’ve connected with someone else would suffice. What is the point?
Which leads me to “not looking for a pen pal”. I thoroughly enjoy when guys put a disclaimer out there of what they aren’t looking for; dishonesty, no drama, etc. If you have filtered duck face pictures taking over your profile swipe left… It is insane to think that solid qualities seem taboo. What is wrong with us?
I have met some nice guys, but we didn’t have chemistry. I have met some guys with chemistry, but the longevity of a relationship wasn’t there. Yes, I’ve also connected with some real jackasses. I’m no pro in the dating arena. I’ve made poor decisions, failed to communicate, and realize my expectations may be skewed when I can’t measure up to them myself. This is not me ranting that males are horrible, from what I hear the females are just as, if not more unappealing.
How hard is it for people to be true with their intentions? I’m not getting any younger, and I have little tolerance to nonsense. In our 30-40s put in a little effort and be respectful. I have no problem initiating, but to my perfect match you are going to have to meet me in the middle.
I’m swiping on a free app yet I have so many sentiments. Maybe my next course of action should be to pay?! “Jess” tell me what you think? Do you think that maybe if there is some monetary investment toward the process the quality would improve?
Still single and swiping ~ ‘The ball is still in my court’
Oh, Serena did not meet her husband on Bumble, they met in randomly in Rome.
