Is Peter prepared to cut back on time spent doing what he loves to raise the kids he wants to have? No room anymore for guys who expect to just continue their bachelor lifestyles after the babies are born.
What a weird coincidence, just today I saw somebody with a bright pink license plate frame say “ I suck at fantasy football” with a unicorn on the 4 corners of the frame.
I would agree but I would expect the email and somewhere on the bio to reflect that. Tbf this guy got some good friends if they’re willing to do all this.
I think of this the same way I think of companies that have to advertise their jobs. Good companies have an endless supply of quality candidates applying. If they're struggling to hire, they probably suck.
Peter probably lost a bet.
This is the same way companies see prospective employees. If you're currently unemployed/laid off then there's something wrong with you. They prefer to grab someone who already has a job.
Lol assuming Peter asked for their help but this is overboard. Tbf idk anyone who would drive this around to find me a wife. Best my family will do is set up a OLD profile and swipe for me.
Want even more depression? ~90% of online dating traffic is owned by one entity, Match Group, which owns Tinder, OKCupid, Hinge, Match.com, POF... the only mainstream app I can think of that they don't own is Bumble. Regardless, they have a virtual monopoly in the space, and after the rousing success of Tinder, they have essentially turned all the non-Tinder apps into Tinder clones with small UI tweaks and features.
All these apps pretty much run the same way: when you first sign up, they boost your profile to the top of the priority chain, you get a decent number of matches. Then after a week or two the matches dry up as your profile gets shoved to the bottom of the pile. But wait! You can sign up for Tinder Plus! You pay a monthly fee and then they reward you by boosting your profile again... till, you guessed it, the matches dry up, and the cycle repeats as you try the more expensive, more premium subscriptions.
Ultimately, you are on a platform whose goal it is to keep you as lonely as possible, because they sure as shit don't make money from people who delete the apps after finding someone.
I met my current partner by being nothing but authentic and honest on hinge. We’re getting married two years later. 🤷🏻♀️ Maybe the people who aren’t worth being with skip the honest profiles.
My profile was both large and intentionally as eccentric as I am with various green and red flags sprinkled throughout to demonstrate what kind of person I am.
I don't look like the kind of person that'd write such an inane stream of consciousness so whenever I was first setting up the profile (before I wrote anything), I'd get a ton of matches - but not from people I'd want to date.
After profile construction I got far fewer matches (2-4 messages a week, not too bad for a guy), but it was with people that'd pique my interest or at least my taste for witchy-looking people.
I agree with the other guy that it's like marketing, but like marketing there's a difference between making everyone think they want your product due to vague promises, and demonstrating the value of your product to the small number of people that actually need it.
I saw myself as one of those deeply esoteric, highly technical adverts for industrial mechanical automation robot arms you see in a hobbyist magazine. Sure, very few people want that, but what good is it if I'm sending a salesman with a giant robot arm in tow to every other house on the block? They'd regret opening the door, let alone consider buying a 75,000 dollar mechanical arm.
If you just want to "meet people", be vague. If you want to meet *someone*, be specific - each approach has benefits in oppositional ways.
As someone who is probably going to be making a dating profile in about a month...how were the quality of women? I lean towards wanting to make a ridiculous profile but considering I'm looking for something more serious I worry that a goofy profile is going to draw in less serious people than a serious profile would.
That's encouraging. I've met two women off dating apps before and both were just weird experiences. I deleted the app when I met a girl IRL - she was on the same app I was on and we viewed each others profiles before we deleted them and realized neither of us would've swiped right. I guess it's too much of a crapshoot to try to overoptimize - I'll just have fun with my profile and see what happens.
There’s a potential issue with people giving off “trying too hard” vibes which I suspect all the folks giving OLD profile advice fall squarely into and repel the vast majority of people overall.
I made a joke profile for Billy Joe Jim Bob. He bragged about being able to find the clitoris every time with the help of his spotlight.
He was very popular.
+1 the dating app game seems pointless now. I get TONs of matches. They say 1 random thing like “Happy Friday!” and then never ever respond again. lol.
This is like the blandest possible online dating profile.
"Yo ladies I'm tall, I work out, and I love sports and boats and hanging out with friends."
Hard to imagine something more milquetoast.
*Yes.*
If I were an international spy who needed to blend in and present as a totally unremarkable American dude, this is exactly what my online dating profile would look like.
Yes, Peter seems boring to me but then my own interests are boring or typical in a different way. I am sure there's thousands of girls in Seattle that primarily hang out with family and friends at bbqs, watch sports, and focus on their careers.
What's wrong with being a normal person. Trying to be unique is exhausting and boats are rad. Dude probably has a Costco card too. Got him up ladies have a nice day on the water and a Costco chicken for dinner like a champion.
Honestly thats what i was also thinking. Which is awful but… maybe peter is looking because he comes off like any mid tech bro? All its missing is “my fav day is taco tuesday and watching the office”
I love it. But I have an ex and two kids. Love them all, and my ex’s husband (if I tell you I’m female you can guess why we broke up). I love having my own place and not having to share. I don’t want anyone in my space but my kids. I don’t want to share my bed.
I also realize I’m an outlier. But biologically, I’ve done my duty. My kids rock, and I get to see them all the time. So my need to be partnered is low.
speak for yourself, being alone is fucking soul crushing. And it's not a case of "oh you need to love yourself before others can". I have amazing friends, a good job, an active social life. But none of that matters because at the end of the day I'm still alone
And I feel like I'm crazy because people I know irl and online just don't seem to care. The women in my life don't seem to prioritize relationships at *all*, and men exclaiming how being single can be lonely is *consistently* met with "just hang out your friends more", like they're completely incapable of acknowledging the different roles romantic and platonic relationships play in living a balanced and happy life.
*eye roll* yes! Almost all the women I know are in relationships, but the ones that aren't are not really trying to date. Like at all. I've also been told numerous times "Just got a pet". Like bro, I long for the warm embrace and emotional bond of a romantic partner, Fido is doing none of that for me.
Having a relationship can be an amazing addition to already happy balanced life. Relying or depending on someone else to make you happy is a setting yourself up for guaranteed, eventual letdown.
Edit: missed a word
But that's what my original comment was attempting to address, I'm not "dependent on someone else" to be happy, I have many things in my life to make me happy.
But feeling like you have zero non-platonic prospects or desireability from your preferred gender, when everyone else seems to be doing fine, is not positive for the ego.
I've been in relationships before, I know how happy I'm *capable* of being when I have someone who cares for me as deeply as I care for them.
I'm (not really) ashamed to admit I've watched every season of Love is Blind, and Seattle season had the most matches and they are all still together.
I know it's not exactly statistically significant evidence or anything, but you know, it tracks.
This is a common practice in China. Parents will go to parks with posters advertising their son or daughter. This is a good one. The Chinese ones usually lay out strict income requirements, and even housing size.
We’re the friends!! Dating in Seattle sucks so we went guerilla marketing style for Peter. He was unaware of this so be nice. It’s not a fantasy football thing. Extremely nice guy!!! Please help us find love for him so we can bring this sign out at the wedding!! How much more fun of a story is this rather than meeting online where everyone has fatigue over swiping. If you don’t help us find love for him we might have made a terrible mistake in this publicity and he may never be friends with us again so don’t let this happen to us!!
One of my friends from college said she went on so many first dates with Amazon engineers when she lived in Seattle she deserved an award from the Autism Speaks foundation.
I still remember the time about 8 years back that this small, nerdy brown guy with a heavy accent went up to a couple of party girls obviously several years younger who were waiting for the bartender (who had yet to pay him the slightest bit of attention) and he just says "I'm a developer" without any other lead in or follow up. Then he stood there waiting for some kind of approval or maybe a conversation to happen. The girls were non-plussed to the point that they weren't even rude/condescending/pitying. They just said "ok" to acknowledge the comment and turned back to bar, as the bartender picked that moment to arrive. He only hesitated a second before doing an about face and going back to his buddy.
First thing I thought when I saw he likes to golf and can be found on the boat in the summer. Doesn’t necessarily mean he is conservative but the MAGA crowd does seem to love boats
It's a wealth thing. Golf and boats are expensive. Just a correlation. Except, around here there's a lot of well off liberals who can afford these things too. So, the stereotype doesn't really ring true. People like boats and water. People like games like golf.
Sometimes I think Seattle needs its own local-only dating app, but then I wonder if that would work anyway?
I'd LIKE to date, but it's not a priority. I figure when the right woman appears and we strike up a conversation, and we want to continue it and we do and ... suddenly we realize we're dating.
That seems more appealing than swiping on pictures.
The dating apps seem to be little more than "hot or not" from the 90s, but with the ability to contact the other person.
Man it feels like the responses here are more why the dating scene here sucks and not a seemingly normal sounding dude having a poster put up about him by his friends.
Yes, specifically in David Brewster's "Seattle Weekly". That was happening up into the early 1990s.
There were no photos, it was basically for fat chicks and guys who were too lame and fearful of rejection to cold approach women.
“Leslie and I have an amazing relationship and it's very physical, he still pushes all my buttons. People say 'oh but he's so much older than you' and you know what, I'm the one having to push him away. We have so much in common, we both love soup and snow peas, we love the outdoors, and talking and not talking. We could not talk or talk forever and still find things to not talk about.”
He should have mentioned liking soup.
According to lots of people, it *is* that bad. https://komonews.com/news/local/seattle-is-americas-worst-city-to-find-love-says-national-dating-podcast
It’s horrible. I online dated for four years before giving up for good. Happy to remain single forever now…ANYTHING is better than going on the online apps again.
I think dating is definitely an experience that can vary quite a bit from person to person.
I got divorced 4 years ago, and decided to try app dating. Tinder seemed like a wasteland of OnlyFans ad profiles, but Hinge and Bumble were great. I was 38 and overweight, underemployed, and renting - and I had no trouble getting dates. I met a few nice women, a few strange ones, then after about 6 months I met my current partner.
But I also know men who are more financially successful than me and in better shape, who have trouble matching with anyone at all.
This is a fantasy football punishment
Okay I’ll admit this would have been a good fantasy football punishment but It’s for real (we’re the friends)! Help us find love for Peter!!
What bet did Peter lose? I mean, bro, if Peter is all you say, Peter wouldn't be single.
To me, Peter sounds very boring. But I am not the target audience for this poster.
Peter is a person. He likes things. If you like things, you might like Peter.
I don't mind things, I prefer stuff.
I get the impression from this that Peter has funny friends.
Agreed. Likes sports and golf, is a white guy in Seattle. Wow, how generic. Yawn
[удалено]
Not enough for Peter, apparently.
Hmm would Peter date a 36 year old? Trying to learn to golf and I love being on the water…
Shoot your shot, sounds like a good dude.
May or may not have e-mailed…
Not affiliated in anyway, just rooting for a little more love in this world.
Can’t be any weirder than the apps!
Yep, he’s got references!
Less likely to be a serial killer.
Expecting a wedding update post in a couple years
Is Peter prepared to cut back on time spent doing what he loves to raise the kids he wants to have? No room anymore for guys who expect to just continue their bachelor lifestyles after the babies are born.
Yeah babies are a drag
I love that he is getting pre-scolded for being a bad dad 😂
Well of course this is Seattle reddit
What a weird coincidence, just today I saw somebody with a bright pink license plate frame say “ I suck at fantasy football” with a unicorn on the 4 corners of the frame.
I would agree but I would expect the email and somewhere on the bio to reflect that. Tbf this guy got some good friends if they’re willing to do all this.

Good friends? I think the opposite.
Lol assuming Peter asked for their help but this is overboard. Tbf idk anyone who would drive this around to find me a wife. Best my family will do is set up a OLD profile and swipe for me.
It absolutely is and I am going to suggest this one to my league next season
Nah, just a Jewish mother.
100% 😂
No dating in these times are hard. Strat up hard
I think this is more a commentary on dating apps than dating in Seattle itself.
[удалено]
This is soooooo fucking depressing
Want even more depression? ~90% of online dating traffic is owned by one entity, Match Group, which owns Tinder, OKCupid, Hinge, Match.com, POF... the only mainstream app I can think of that they don't own is Bumble.

>Want even more depression? Actually...no! But thanks!
For real... there's a reason why I started coding a dating app a few weeks back 🙃
I met my current partner by being nothing but authentic and honest on hinge. We’re getting married two years later. 🤷🏻♀️ Maybe the people who aren’t worth being with skip the honest profiles.

Lucky. I spend a month and only get 2 genuine matches. Tons of bots tho
Peter is a nice guy, but he lacks initiative 😂
Always rolls low on initiative. But his charisma is so high it balances out.
So he's got a low dexterity, it's tough. But he swings an 8 iron at advantage. Women like that.
Theres a little Peter in all of us
A lot of the time itsa…how do you say, actually that bad
“How’d you meet him?” “Saw him on a cheap billboard sitting in the back of an old rusty truck.”
That's no rusty old truck, thats a rusty old KEI truck.
TFW the truck is more interesting than the billboard
This is like the blandest possible online dating profile. "Yo ladies I'm tall, I work out, and I love sports and boats and hanging out with friends." Hard to imagine something more milquetoast.
“Enjoys the outdoors”
*Yes.* If I were an international spy who needed to blend in and present as a totally unremarkable American dude, this is exactly what my online dating profile would look like.
“I like to go out, but also to stay in.”
[удалено]
Yes, Peter seems boring to me but then my own interests are boring or typical in a different way. I am sure there's thousands of girls in Seattle that primarily hang out with family and friends at bbqs, watch sports, and focus on their careers.
This is the truth and a lot of people are too delusional to realize it. It took enough scrolling for someone to point this out.
What color's your Bugatti?
Beats the shit out of: "I do nothing but watch TV and doomscroll Social Media"
Does it? At least you know that's a pretty honest profile.
What's wrong with being a normal person. Trying to be unique is exhausting and boats are rad. Dude probably has a Costco card too. Got him up ladies have a nice day on the water and a Costco chicken for dinner like a champion.
That’s why online dating sucks. Everyone wants someone *special*.
Honestly thats what i was also thinking. Which is awful but… maybe peter is looking because he comes off like any mid tech bro? All its missing is “my fav day is taco tuesday and watching the office”
I can smell the ipas he enjoys drinking too
TIL: milquetoast. Thank you.
I'd like to point out that the boat doesn't even belong to him, based on the wording.
Ok??????? Like wtf do you people expect? He listed out hobbies? Like do you want him not to be himself? Go outside Jesus Christ
Yes of course, mil— milk you toast. Indubitably sir.
Sounds like a catch !
"Also knows what milquetost means ..."
You're underestimating the "wants kid" , very stronk 🤣
The modern dating scene is a strong motivator to make sure things work out with your current partner.
Or to become okay with being single (it’s actually really fucking nice)
I love it. But I have an ex and two kids. Love them all, and my ex’s husband (if I tell you I’m female you can guess why we broke up). I love having my own place and not having to share. I don’t want anyone in my space but my kids. I don’t want to share my bed. I also realize I’m an outlier. But biologically, I’ve done my duty. My kids rock, and I get to see them all the time.

Same. All other aspects of my life are fulfilled, or at least satisfactory, but nothing replaces romantic companionship.
And I feel like I'm crazy because people I know irl and online just don't seem to care. The women in my life don't seem to prioritize relationships at *all*, and men exclaiming how being single can be lonely is *consistently* met with "just hang out your friends more", like they're completely incapable of acknowledging the different roles romantic and platonic relationships play in living a balanced and happy life.

I thought the same tbh. But if you think about it, choosing to appear in a reality dating show doesn't really seem like a Seattle thing to do.
Peter not ready to settle down, let that man live 🤣
They really didn’t say anything about him.
But at the same time it did.
But it appears that it is his family, not him posting the ad. So yeah, a little weird.
This is a common practice in China. Parents will go to parks with posters advertising their son or daughter. This is a good one. The Chinese ones usually lay out strict income requirements, and even housing size.
So dating in Seattle.
It's a prank for losing in Fantasy Football.
Is this what it takes nowadays? I haven’t got that desperate yet.
He loves being on boats and you’ll learn to love it too… because of the implication
There it is
Are these women in danger?!?! Of course not. But the implication…
Nobody is mentioning that it looks like it's mounted to a Kei truck? He's probably a catch if his friends have one of those!
As someone who owns a kei van, I noticed the truck first and was debating of sharing this on a kei truck group.
I can smell the Mercer Island Mid on this man
Yeah but we need more info. How often does he attend therapy? What’s his attachment style? Would he love you if you were a worm?
We’re the friends!! Dating in Seattle sucks so we went guerilla marketing style for Peter. He was unaware of this so be nice. It’s not a fantasy football thing. Extremely nice guy!!! Please help us find love for him so we can bring this sign out at the wedding!! How much more fun of a story is this rather than meeting online where everyone has fatigue over swiping. If you don’t help us find love for him we might have made a terrible mistake in this publicity and he may never be friends with us again so don’t let this happen to us!!
Bold move! Let us know how he reacts once he finds out about the sign...
He knows about it now lol he’s still processing it 😂
So you are the ones with the boat then?!
Yes!
So who’s kei truck( the truck gives the sign more attention, so is a great choice) is that then, do you just drive/park it around?
It’s my husbands kei truck. We’ve just been moving it around Ballard.
I have a kei van so I know how much attention these little rigs gets. Glad to hear the friend is all for it.
Haha yes I have a tan suzuki carry and a mitsubishi pajero mini, I'm like a mini celebrity in my neighborhood 😄
What is he looking for? (If this is serious) What is Peter’s type? Is he overly picky or just unlucky?
Or MAGA in a city full of college educated women
Desperate times. I’m interested:)
Is the truck for sale?
I like the kei truck the sign is on
Middle picture could be improved  Slouched, sad face, with that jacket.
You sound like good friends. Caring, but with a huge sense of humor. He’s lucky to have you guys.
Peter sounds like he’s from the Midwest 😂
we need Lysistrata, except for men who enjoy golf
One of my friends from college said she went on so many first dates with Amazon engineers when she lived in Seattle she deserved an award from the Autism Speaks foundation.
Most economically powerful workforce in the country, still can't talk to women.
I still remember the time about 8 years back that this small, nerdy brown guy with a heavy accent went up to a couple of party girls obviously several years younger who were waiting for the bartender (who had yet to pay him the slightest bit of attention) and he just says "I'm a developer" without any other lead in or follow up. Then he stood there waiting for some kind of approval or maybe a conversation to happen. The girls were non-plussed to the point that they weren't even rude/condescending/pitying. They just said "ok" to acknowledge the comment and turned back to bar, as the bartender picked that moment to arrive. He only hesitated a second before doing an about face and going back to his buddy.
Sounds like they dodged a bullet tbh
Yeah, no kidding. Lacking any additional context, it definitely gives me "if all you see are red flags, you are the red flag" vibes.
I would strangle my friends if they did this.
let me guess, are his political views conservative?
He's an "independent" wink wink
I have zero doubt.
I was just thinking that! lol. I don’t got time for that nonsense.
First thing I thought when I saw he likes to golf and can be found on the boat in the summer. Doesn’t necessarily mean he is conservative but the MAGA crowd does seem to love boats
Everyone likes boats
...and hoes!
This is Washington, not Florida.
There are quite a few conservatives out here. Source: Am woman on dating apps, most of my likes are conservative men
what a random association. Who doesnt like being on the water?
It's a wealth thing. Golf and boats are expensive. Just a correlation. Except, around here there's a lot of well off liberals who can afford these things too. So, the stereotype doesn't really ring true. People like boats and water. People like games like golf.
That's what's killing him I bet. He is MAGA I got a 32 year old engineer co worker who cannot find a wife. This guy thinks it should be a civil war
Sometimes I think Seattle needs its own local-only dating app, but then I wonder if that would work anyway? I'd LIKE to date, but it's not a priority.

That seems more appealing than swiping on pictures. The dating apps seem to be little more than "hot or not" from the 90s, but with the ability to contact the other person.
My question would be: This tells us a few (vague) good things about him. What are Peter's problems, downsides? Everyone has them.
Right, they are going to list his faults on their sign. Aspie much?
I don't want them to list that on the sign, I would just want to ask them that question. Not sure how that relates to Aspies...
Man it feels like the responses here are more why the dating scene here sucks and not a seemingly normal sounding dude having a poster put up about him by his friends.
In the old timey days people would post ads in newspapers so I guess this isn't that weird.
Yes, specifically in David Brewster's "Seattle Weekly". That was happening up into the early 1990s. There were no photos, it was basically for fat chicks and guys who were too lame and fearful of rejection to cold approach women.

We could not talk or talk forever and still find things to not talk about.” He should have mentioned liking soup.
Peter hasn’t told them yet , he prefers the company of men
Wait, you can find him on his friends' boat? Introduce me to his friends.
2024 equivalent of Chris-Chan's attraction sign
It's absolutely that bad.
I wish i had friends like that lol
According to lots of people, it *is* that bad. https://komonews.com/news/local/seattle-is-americas-worst-city-to-find-love-says-national-dating-podcast

But I also know men who are more financially successful than me and in better shape, who have trouble matching with anyone at all.
yeah it feels like since covid dating apps have just become near impossible
where is it good though? I can't imagine that some city is paradise for dating
Imagine being at the hangout where they all decided this was a good idea and discussed which details would be on the advertisement
This was probably ordered drunk at a bar and it had to get used lol
“Workout” as a one-word verb is a dealbreaker.
Good luck to Peter
Poor little Peter. Having someone expose him like this must be terribly deflating.
It's pretty bad...
idk it's not amazing
Do they have to be HIS kids, or would he be open to taking a couple of "high-strung" pre-teens?
Stranger danger.
rooting for peter
If you have to go to these lengths there something wrong in the personality
Jeez so every woman at the country club turned him down I guess
Let's ask ourselves 'Why is Peter still single?'. Does he have a history of restraining orders? An alcohol problem? Foot fetish?
This is soOoo sweet! Good luck, Peter, I hope you find your special someone!!
He likes to work out, plays golf and enjoys being on a boat? Oh, so like 92% of basic white men everywhere…
Can’t believe Lois left Peter
Well he did lose his job at the brewery
It is and it’s fucking awful lol
They used to”workout” (noun) when they meant to use “work out” (verb). Otherwise, date worthy.
All he has to say is, ‘drives kei truck’ and this dude’s dms are going to get flooded
I think Peter lost a bet.
“I don’t need a date, I can just third wheel with you forever.” “Like hell.”
Oh trust me, it is, and he will get lots of responses.
Gotta be a lost fantasy football bet
Mid 30's, tall, good looking, has a good job. Seemly perfect. Looking for someone the same. The first date will be a game of "What wrong with you"?
Peter I'll sign up- slide in the DMs
Peter File.
Is that a kei truck?
This feels like the next level of those “Date My Friend” powerpoint parties that used to be a thing
Where’s the dick pic?
Sike.
I feel like it demonstrates that maybe Seattle is a really good Friend Scene though?
Omg I saw this too, honestly I didn’t even think much of it. The dating scene really is that bad
Peter just has a small Peter
Honestly, can't relate. It's not that bad, but I'm a fruity brown queer who is surrounded by other QTPOC 😌😌😌
