I (straight 26M) think they're meant to be encouraging? Like the people posting it mean to show that the bar is so super low that even the slightest effort should get you great results.
But when I then actually put effort into my profiles, trying to get good varied pictures, getting feedback from others, adding good text in the description and so on. Really just trying my best to follow the general guidelines for a good profile. I still get the same results as with previous profiles that were much much worse.
So I've put in effort trying to show off who I am as a person, I try to make the profile just overall as good as I can. And still, nothing. And then I go online and see posts from women showing the dry conversations or shitty profiles as I guess an encouraging gesture to encourage effort. And I just can't help but come to the conclusion that if my best efforts still amount to nothing, then I must just be such a horrible person. Not in a moral sense or anything, just fundamentally not worth it.
So I guess my question is just, what's the intention behind posting that kind of stuff online?
