    You know, as reasonable as it is, the last paragraph does sound totally corny. I’d be fine dating someone who’s not as much of a nerd as me, or is a nerd in a different way like movies.

    Especially the bookshelf part, since in my experience, a lot of people with piles of books don’t read them (I gave the worse ones away), and making a dating app pic in a library isn’t the first thing that comes to mind.

      Yeah, and most of the ladies leaning on the hoods of expensive sports cars don’t own those cars.

      I haven’t read most of the books on my shelves because I’m very ambitious about reading. I read a lot, but I buy about twice as many books as I finish because I’m interested in so many topics. I’m just describing how a person portrays themselves, not whether they’ve read every book, mastered an instrument, or hiked all the best trails.

      Oh, and here’s one that I forgot. I never engaged anyone who took a pic in a mirror in a public bathroom. I don’t know why people do that. Set your phone on a timer pretty much anywhere else and take a full body pic with a background that’s anything else.
