Dating: “his idea of ‘fun’ is doing taxes.”

Are we having fun yet?

When Beth joined a dating app to find love, she knew one thing for sure: she wants to have fun. Consequently, she listed “fun” as one of her desires in the list of desires that the app provides in users’ profiles. “Who wants drudgery? Am I right?”, she asks, laughing.

Beth saw a lot of profiles from folks who did not list fun in their desires. “It’s been a bit of a challenge to find someone who also wants fun,” Beth explains. “A lot of people want ‘friendship’ or ‘threesomes’ but when have these ever been fun? Friendship just sounds like hard work to me.”

Enter Jim. When Beth saw his profile, she knew she had found the man of her dreams. He also listed “fun” in his desires, in addition to “nice ass”. Thus began a whirlwind romance. “I agree with Beth,” Jim says, “I also don’t want drudgery in my life, and I adore her ass.”

However, the honeymoon phase ended quickly. “Beth wanted to go to concert after concert,” says Jim, “but I’m sensitive to loud noises, and couldn’t handle it. It was drudgery for me, despite Beth’s adorable ass.”

“Jim’s notion of ‘fun’ is to do taxes,” Beth countered. “I probably should have seen this coming, seeing as he has a serious case of accountant face. Not even my ass could save this relationship from his face.”

    This amuses me because I literally used "fun" as an example when I taught sociology of how you have to be precise when asking questions on surveys to get meaningful results.

    That said, the dating apps are just awful to begin with; they emphasize a lot of the social norms that puts us at a disadvantage to begin with. I look at it as dodging bullets, though.
