To those who are not extraordinary

Ok, this is kind of a lengthy post, more toward an idea not too different from dating apps, but with a twist. If you are swiping on those apps to meet someone, do keep reading. This is for both boys and gals!


There exists people whom have grown into the person however their genes shaped them, be it their stature, weight, hairline, complexion, jawline, and any other physical (dis)proportion.

There exists people whom have never exercised, be it a day in their lives, or years ago, or way less than they should.

There exists people whom have a plain, basic wardrobe, without ever receiving any insights if any of their clothes even fitted their body types.

There exists people whom have only accessorised themselves to feel good, and not for attraction, nor status.

There exists people whom lead an ordinary, unexciting, repetitive lifestyle that might appear boring, but are so deep in the comfort zone they wouldn’t give it up for anything.

There exists people, whom despite being unconfident, unable to impress, or even think they have a chance, still on dating apps, in hopes to connect with someone real.

They – We, are still passengers of desires, impulses, whom will never stop craving for affection, even if it was fleeting. So, what if, I define some terms we abide by, a few conditions we stick to, and a couple of hard rules to change that?

Submit a time-stamped photo of yourself, adhering to the following guidelines.

  1. No face(s) to be shown – You may block it with your phone, or mosaic it (lots of apps out there to do that).
  2. No nudity – Don’t be naked, or intrusive. It’s for everyone here to see. You are looking for a match, not to impress. So be real.
  3. No filters – No美颜, no beauty-filter, no skin-smoothing, no mole-removing, no colour-adjustments of any sorts. Just make sure your photo is bright enough to see you (and make out your body shape) clearly.
  4. That’s all!
  5. Oh right! Be single, or divorced. Don’t complicate things. That said, I think single-parents have their own appeal too, so you’re welcome here!

I am fully aware that using ‘photos’ to find and match with a member of the opposite sex might seem very superficial, and even counter-productive in building an emotional connection. But!

I also believe that not everyone of us wants to find a perfect ‘other half’. I personally know that I don’t care (if my match has) abs, or flawless skin, or a skinny waist. Some of us might be seeking someone of a similar size, with similar symptoms, or in similar lifestyle.

The right word to use here is to simply be ‘real’. To see people in their original, unflattering self in a realistic, everyday manner. Cheers to you if you do find someone attractive here, and he/ she is into you!

So who’s with me? I will be the first to upload something, though I hope I won’t get doxed cause it will be of my own doing.

To reach me with your photos or any inputs, you can find my Telegram handle below! Submit your photo/s with the same information as I have indicated below. For now, I won’t make ‘weight’ a compulsory declaration unless you want me to list it. Men and women of all shapes and sizes, join me!
