[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a younger friend I volunteer with who would date the bank teller.  She's shorter than him and very kind, friendly, and smart.  She has a cool (but not highly paid) job and no kids.

She's overweight and not conventionally beautiful, though.  She has a hard time dating for these reasons (and no, she's not chasing the 6-6-6s).  Seems like a lot of Average Joes don't want to pair up with Average Janes - it's not "settling" to pair up with somebody of a similar attractiveness level.[/quote]

The Average types have a near impossible time on dating apps. It’s all about advertising your looks and your stats without actually knowing the persons personality. [/quote]

I'm the PP and that's why this friend stopped bothering with the apps and is trying to get more involved in volunteer work, church community, hiking group, etc. where she might meet people organically.  I once tried to play matchmaker with an Average Joe in our group she'd expressed some interest in but he was like "nah, Katie's cool but I'm not into her in that way.  But could you put in a word with Jessica?"

Jessica being a tall, gorgeous former high-level swimmer who last I heard was dating a pro athlete.  SMH![/quote]
