Get the Date Stickmug. Pathosphere of Simulacra Dating
(noun)
A dating reality where nobody meets real people anymore — just filtered versions, curated profiles, AI-polished bios, trauma-fueled expectations, and algorithm-approved illusions.
You're not dating a human. You're dating their simulacrum — a copy of a copy of who they think they should be.
Everyone shows up with:
• emotional baggage (the pathosphere)
• digital masks and highlight-reel personalities (the simulacra)
The result?
Two illusions flirting, trauma bonding, ghosting, love-bombing, and blocking each other — all before anyone meets in person.
Example:
“Bro, she wasn’t crazy. You were just trapped in the Pathosphere of Simulacra Dating. That wasn’t her — that was her Instagram ghost with trauma issues.”

Get the Pathosphere of Simulacra Datingmug. Just as products have sell-by dates for when the contents are deemed to be inedible, people who fancy themselves as charmers, should have flirt-by dates for when their flirtatious behaviour is deemed to be more than a little off putting. This is most likely the result of old age.
"Did you hear Jane caught John flirting with some young chick again and this time divorce is on the cards"
"Well I guess his flirt-by date is up!"
"Well I guess his flirt-by date is up!"

Get the Date Buddymug. When you date someone in every which way different to the last person you dated, In a bid to find someone completely different. This is a vicious cycle that continues much like a game of "pinball" until they realise this strategy very rarely works...
Ryan - I was dating Toni. She was thin, 5ft7, blonde, really quite and girly. But it didn't work out so now I'm dating Liv, a curvy, crazy, brunette packed full of attitude. But If things don't go well, I'm gonna try with Elle. A cheeky, laidback, redhead whos on the university rowing team.
Matt- It sounds like you're "pinball dating" again.

Get the Pinball Datingmug. Here are a few ways to make yourself popular on big-name dating apps like Tinder, especially in big cities. Here are a few (unwritten!) rules in exact ascending (beginning) order:
Photofeeler
Use Photofeeler. If you don't know what that website is, search it up on your bar. Photofeeler is THE ONLY reliable website to measure your looks. Aim for 20 to 40 votes, which is the standard factor.
EMPATHY-associated pictures are always encouraged. A picture of you next to a gentle pet - a dog, a cat, a rabbit, a guinea pig, a goldfish, or such similar beings - will increase your matches by a vast percentage.
DON'T EVER use any pictures where you are posing near or inside a car or truck, regardless of how nice it looks. JUST DON'T. Unless gold diggers are what you're aiming for, please avoid the car pictures. And ESPECIALLY stay away from a car your parent or boss owns.
For reuse on dating apps
In addition to the entire Photofeeler section written above, make sure that when you are finished, prioritize the one with the highest total score (all photos should have attractiveness scores of no less than 5.0 out of 10, with an absolute minimum "confidence interval" rating of 4.0 out of 10). Contrary to popular belief, attractiveness alone will NOT get you dates. But smartness and trustworthiness combined with attractiveness will earn you multiple dates and even a whole relationship.
DO NOT mention politics or religion especially if your attractiveness score is less than 7.0.
