February 27: I’d swipe right on this.

Tonight I’m hosting a mixer and dance party for about 200 people.

And I am so ready.

We actually had to postpone from early February (only the second time in four years of running Mingler events) and let me tell you… I’ve been needing this.

A room full of sexy, interesting, well-socialized humans who know how to flirt and have fun?

Yes, please.

There’s just something about being in a room where the vibe is alive.

Music up.

Eyes meeting.

Bodies moving.

Actual laughter.

No frowns in sight.

Just people being… people.

And in that spirit, I want to share a dating app bio I saw recently.

It doesn’t follow all the features I normally recommend. It’s not optimized. It’s not strategically layered. It’s not rhetorically tight.

And yet?

If I saw this profile and the photo were someone I found attractive, I would absolutely swipe right.

Here it is:

“Golden Retriever boyfriend. Generally happy, well behaved, housetrained. Knows commands like open jar, take out trash, kill spider. Trustworthy off-leash, not trustworthy around rotisserie chickens.”

“Golden Retriever boyfriend. Generally happy, well behaved, housetrained. Knows commands like open jar, take out trash, kill spider. Trustworthy off-leash, not trustworthy around rotisserie chickens.”

Tell me that’s not delightful.

As silly as it sounds, this bio gives you a lot of information in a very compact, very human package:

– Generally happy
– Willing to contribute
– Wants to be seen as trustworthy
– Has a sense of humor
– Doesn’t take himself too seriously

It makes me curious.

What would it be like to spend time with him? Would he be playful? Grounded? Secretly chaotic around poultry?

And even if we weren’t a match? I suspect it would be a pleasant date.

No chest-puffery. No disclaimerism. No “you must be this tall to ride.”

Just warmth, competence, and rotisserie vulnerability. (Honestly, SAME.)

That’s what I love about real-life spaces, too.

When people stop performing, stop trying to engineer desire, and just show up as their particular flavor of human.

That’s when things spark.

Anyway.

Happy Friday.

If you’re out tonight, may your vibe be golden-retriever-level joyful, and may you avoid rotisserie-level temptations.

P.S. What’s the best (or worst) dating app bio you’ve seen lately?

Hit reply and tell me. I collect them like artifacts.
