My profile

About me

By day I'm a regular guy and by night a superhero … How tiring is that?!

Just joking! I'm a regular guy all the time, good job, close to my family, just bought my own flat with a cat. Actually, my cat thinks I'm a hero because I saved her from the street. I'm a talkative person and I believe communication is the most important thing in a relationship.

Likes and dislikes

I love pizza if it's Italian, wine if it's white, and football if it's the World Cup. I read a lot, especially true life stories, but most of my books live on my phone.

Hobbies

I love to travel and I'm always planning my next trip. I prefer an active holiday like hiking, skiing or watersports and I get bored lying on the beach. I post lots of photos on Instagram as I'm a good photographer but I'd really love to share the holiday with someone. Maybe you'll take the photos on the next trip. wink

Tips

1. Write about your good points, not your bad points.

2. Don’t include every single thing. Choose a few points and focus on them.

3. Don’t add your contact details (e.g. address, phone number). You could get unwanted messages.

4. Check your spelling and punctuation before you post.

5. You can use punctuation and emojis when you’re joking, e.g. ?! and wink.

PERSONAL PROFILE

Hey there! I'm Massy, I'm italian, I'm turning 28 this year and I work as a teacher in a primary school while I study at University. I would define myself as an introverted person, even though I like meeting new people, especially during concerts. I LOVE going to concerts, it's an activity I happily spend money on. I've been to many concerts during the last few years, both in Italy and abroad.

Another of my favourite activities is baking, I do it about three or four times a month. May sound strange, but the more difficult the recipe is, the more I enjoy it. It helps me relax and concentrate and it's definitely satisfying when people like what I baked

I have a big dog, she's five but still acts and play like a five month old puppy, so it's quite challenging to walk her 

I'm also a big football fan, that's a passion my mother passed down on me, so I'm often watching matches at weekends, both on TV and in my favourite team's stadium.

 

 

DISCUSSION - Are dating apps a good way to meet people?

That's not an easy question... I believe it's not the same for everybody: some people may prefer dating apps if they don't have much free time to spend in socializing activities, or maybe it can be easier to get to know someone online before meeting them in person, so you can have a general idea of who you're talking to BEFORE actually seeing them: saves time and can help avoiding awkward silences.

There are people using dating apps to "meet their soulmate" before a certain time in life so they can marry and start a family within a certain age, so they probably use it to do a kind of sorting of people and directly look for someone with their same goals in life.

On the other hand, one must always consider that reading a profile and seeing pictures of people online could be deceiving: there are people creating fake profiles for different reasons, or pretend to be what they're not, and you never know who you're actually talking to.

Also, one negative aspect of dating apps is that it's quite a challenge to really express how you feel, unless you have a real talent in writing, so the other person may not understand your intentions: you don't have facial expressions or the tone of your voice to help express yourself better.

In conclusion, I guess it depends on the use you make of dating apps, what you're looking for and how good of a detective you are to eventually spot fake profiles out there.

I'm not sure about dating apps are a good way to meet people. I think they are only good for looking a date. To find good peoples in every form of relationships like friends, social media apps are better.

My Profile

About me

Hi! I'm Andrea. I think I consider myself an introvert and extrovert person. I mean, Sometimes I talk with someone and suddenly I'm just looking at the corner of the room and re-thinking about my entire existence in the world. Don't worry I'm okey, this rarely happens :D

Likes and dislikes

These days, I'm doing pilates at home. I'm still a begginer but I really enjoy it. I recommed it! 

By the other hand, I don't like playing basketball. I got bad memories trying to played it at high-school. 

Hobbies

I love drawing a lot since my childhood. I remember that I used to carried my sketchbooks with me everywhere and drawing everyday. Actually, I'm still drawing twice a week at home or at parks and post some pictures on my social media.
