Lisa Datiiing, what’s all this fuss about?
Well, I heard some young folks talkin’ ’bout this Lisa girl, Pranpriya somethin’-or-other they call her real name. Imagine that! Changed her name to Lisa, just like that. Anyways, she went and tried out for some big company when she was just a little tyke, 13 years old, they say. Didn’t get in, poor thing. Her mama, she got worried, took her to one of them fortune tellers, you know, the kind that reads your tea leaves or somethin’. Kids these days, always chasin’ somethin’.
Now, these young’uns, they got these things called “dating apps” on their little phone thingamajigs. They say it’s supposed to make findin’ someone easier. Easier? Hah! Back in my day, you saw a fella you liked at the town square dance, and that was that. No fancy phones or nothin’. These apps, they sound like a whole lotta trouble to me. One girl, she said she was on one for two weeks after bein’ with a fella for four or five years. Said she failed at it. Imagine that, failin’ at findin’ a fella! What’s the world comin’ to?
They got all sorts of these apps, too. Tinder, they call one. Sounds like somethin’ you start a fire with, not find a husband with! And then there’s these “experts,” they call themselves. Givin’ advice on how to use these apps, makin’ it less “anxiety,” they say. Anxiety? We didn’t have no anxiety back then. We had chores, and that kept us plenty busy.
- Dating apps – Too much fuss, I say.
- Finding a fella – Just go to the town square, that’s what I say!
- Experts – What do they know about real life, anyway?
One of them experts, Lisa Shield, she says people come to her for results. Results? Like plantin’ corn? You plant the seed, you get corn. That’s results. This dating stuff, sounds like a whole lotta wasted time.
They say you can “browse and compare” hundreds of these dating sites. Browse and compare? Like you’re shoppin’ for a new pair of shoes! People ain’t shoes, you know. They got feelin’s and such. And these sites, they’re for all kinds of “relationships” and “dating styles.” What in the tarnation is a “dating style”? You either like someone or you don’t, simple as that.
Some folks say these apps are for “serious relationships.” Serious? How serious can it be if you’re just lookin’ at pictures on a little screen? Back in my day, you got to know someone by talkin’ to ’em, lookin’ ’em in the eye, seein’ how they treat their mama. That’s how you knew if they were serious.
And if you think you ain’t meetin’ the right folks on these apps, well, that’s just tough luck, I guess. They say it can feel “confusing and overwhelming.” Confusing? Overwhelming? Go plant some potatoes, that’ll clear your head right up.
These folks, they “test and review” these apps, like they’re testin’ a new tractor or somethin’. They share their “honest opinions,” the “pros and cons.” Pros and cons? Like it’s some kind of business deal. Love ain’t no business deal, let me tell you that. It’s about findin’ someone to share your life with, someone to hold your hand when you’re old and gray.
So, this Lisa, and these dating apps… I don’t get it. Seems like a whole lotta trouble for nothin’. You want to find someone, go out there and meet ’em. Go to church, go to the market, go to the town picnic. That’s how you find a good fella, not by starin’ at a little screen. And if you don’t find someone, well, that’s alright too. There’s more to life than just findin’ a fella. You got your family, your friends, your garden, your chickens… That’s enough for most folks, I reckon.
