With the incessant airbrushed ads that envisage the unreachable gold standards of so-called naked perfection to the fairly vapid model on which a well known and loved dating application is based - a simple glance at a person’s photo being enough to decide whether to give the right swipe of approval or the dreaded left swipe that is like a sweeping scythe of romantic death, mowing down all those potentials each with a unique complex of hopes, personality and experience to offer aside from their outward appearance.
