After five lovely coupled-up years, I now find myself back in the twisted world of online dating in Hong Kong (can I get a \u2018yes-y\u2019all\u2019 from all my other homies whose relationships fell victim to the Rona?) The thing is, as with everything in the digital world, in just a few short years, the game \u2013 and that\u2019s quite literally how people are referring to it, has changed so much, that I\u2019m already considering investing in a mail-order groom. Here\u2019s why.<\/p>\n

Online dating in Hong Kong in 2021 is tough<\/h3>\n

Sometimes it\u2019s just easier to write lists, so here\u2019s why I\u2019m having so many problems as I lurk on dating apps trying to find someone even to just have a drink with. Okay. Just to set the scene, I am a woman looking for a man, so the only knowledge I have on what it\u2019s like for those of other genders and sexualities are from first-hand accounts from friends. For this reason, these are all my own observations. Also, I have only been on these apps for like 48-hours, so let\u2019s see how these insights change over time. Or not.<\/p>\n

1. People don\u2019t fill out their profiles<\/h3>\n

Look. I get that loads of these apps are designed to make the visuals the most important part of meeting someone, but that\u2019s just a design decision based on popular culture. We all know, deep down inside, that if you and your potential SO stand on different sides of the fence on topics like racism, sustainability, politics, and even Netflix genres, it don\u2019t matter if they look like the hottest piece of meat at the market (I didn\u2019t want to drop it, but I will: Kim and Kanye.)<\/p>\n

I personally implore you to write something on your profile, even if it\u2019s just a few sentences. Set the scene. Make me laugh. Tell me what\u2019s grinding your gears right now. Then I will actually have an idea about you as a human, behind the 2D images. Plus it just makes getting a conversation started so much easier.<\/p>\n

\"Tinder<\/p>\n

2. Let\u2019s talk more about those visuals…<\/h3>\n

I\u2019m an equal opportunist when it comes to dating. Whether you\u2019re from Kazakhstan, Senegal, Argentina, or Japan doesn\u2019t matter to me, it\u2019s your inner being and how you see the world that\u2019s important. Like I said before, the visuals are not my highest priority, but I do need to be able to see your face.<\/p>\n

Current trends I\u2019m seeing include, random legs in bed shots, extreme skin-correcting filters (I\u2019m looking at you South Korean and Chinese men…), pics of pets, and my all-time favourite: photos of vehicles. Cool that you got a sweet Ferrari, bro, but how will I recognise you when we meet in the MTR?<\/p>\n

Also, can I just say… what is it with guys who ask for more photos (I have like 3-4 on my profiles) when they only have one really bad grainy one up. LOL!? I think I will pass, mate.<\/p>\n

3. I don\u2019t care about your Myers Briggs results!<\/h3>\n

It\u2019s 2021, people. We don\u2019t even use Myers Briggs in the workplace anymore (we\u2019re all on REACH<\/a> now) let alone for dating.\u00a0But seriously, the fact that you\u2019re prefacing your profile with an ENTP or an IMFP makes my eyes roll so far back in my head and concurrently speaks to the inherent difference between men and women, though I\u2019m sure there are ladies out there who do it too.<\/p>\n

Side note: this test was created to help women entering the work force during WWII to see where they would be best suited. But if you want to open with results from a test almost a century old, I guess it does kind of help me get to know you… [thinking emoji].<\/p>\n

4. The lost art of conversation<\/h3>\n

\u201cHi\u201d<\/p>\n

Could there be a more depressing message from a prospective partner? I do fill out my profile, so there\u2019s a myriad of points for you to choose from when messaging me. I just don\u2019t get it when you only get a: Hi?<\/p>\n

I can\u2019t speak for every woman or person, but I\u2019m pretty sure that we all like it when someone takes an interest in what we like. Part of meeting someone is getting to know them and the only way that happens is with lots of deep probing questions about their past. You don\u2019t need to launch off with a pick-up line or a lame joke, even a simple: How\u2019s your day going? portrays genuine enthusiasm.<\/p>\n

\"Tinder<\/p>\n

5. The old like-and-wait<\/h3>\n

Cool! You like me. So why aren\u2019t you saying anything? I know that on Bumble the lady has to speak first, but this isn\u2019t true on other platforms. Get in there and woo me with your sweet banter, for the love of Dog! A friend of mine actually said she thought maybe Bumble had done us single ladies a disservice with it\u2019s process; and I\u2019m inclined to agree.<\/p>\n

Yes. Most of us gals are happy to message first, but it\u2019s also super charming to receive a nice message from a suitor. How\u2019s about bringing back some chivalry<\/a> and brightening up the day of your current Tinder crush? I guarantee that at the very least, you will put on a smile on her face. Just don\u2019t be creepy.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know. Maybe it\u2019s time to bring back dating in real life. Would you attend a Honeycombers singles mixer?
