Thanks everyone for the OLD feedback. I will keep it in my backpocket until I take the plunge. I definitely have a lot to learn in this area. Few things:

I don't understand that. What does that mean? Is it something like 'hey, ask me about how I managed to eat the behemoth cheeseburger at the county fair' - i know I'm sounding ridiculous here but scarfing down giant cheeseburgers might be someone's unique thing lol.

yeah I try to be on point with grammar and spelling for sure. I'm cavalier on this site as I don't proofread my posts, but point well taken.

In terms of scary just mean profiles that may be real but I wouldn't touch with a ten foot poll.
Also a lot more "hook up with me while my husband watches" or "married ethically non-monogamous" than I'd ever imagine.
yeah i've heard tinder has bot accts and some fake accts. I'll definitely watch out for that. Don't plan on getting on Tinder first but will check it out at some point. also at least I'm glad ppl are saying that they want their husbands to watch, so you can screen those accts out - unless that's your thing. I know the ethically non-monogamous stuff and polyamory stuff is also quite prevalent now. Heard enough about how brutal that is and so gonna steer away from that. Good for folks who can manage it.
