Edition 05: The makeup haters of Hinge
The Ongoing Refusal to Just Let Us Live and what it means for dating.
I date to collect data. If I should find love in the abysmal place that is colloquially known as dating apps, then that would be a bonus, but I am there for anthropological purposes as a writer and professional meaning-maker. I am also an ethical researcher, as I state my intentions very clearly on the apps. In my ongoing research, many things capture my interest and will be the subject of future works. But, for this moment in time, my most pressing noticing is about straight men proclaiming on Hinge that they do not care to date women who wear makeup.
