‘Mid’ Activity: The current state of online dating

In the ever-evolving world of modern romance, the new buzzword on the streets is “mid” – a term used by the savvy Gen Z crowd to describe anything from ill-advised fashion choices to downright cringe-worthy behavior. And when it comes to the wild world of online dating, let’s just say there’s no shortage of “mid activity” happening.

From the thirsty DMs sliding into your inbox to the Tinder matches who can’t seem to string together a coherent sentence, the digital dating landscape is rife with foolish antics that have us all shaking our heads. But fear not, my fellow swipers – help is on the way in the form of swaggerscan, the world’s first premier dating and gaming platform designed to weed out the “mid” and elevate the socially responsible.

Launching in early 2025 by a team of visionaries who understand the unique challenges of today’s singles, swaggerscan is more than just another dating app. It’s a revolutionary dating platform that combines the thrill of gaming with the pursuit of genuine human connection. By incorporating elements of location-based augmented reality, swaggerscan aims to attract a discerning crowd of users who value authenticity, wit, and a healthy dose of swaGGer.

“The traditional online dating experience has become a cesspool of mid activity,” says Chelsea Penner, Chief Marketing Officer of swaGGerscan and expert dating coach. “We wanted to create a space where people could discuss the most important things first. swaGGerscan is about finding your people – those who share your interests, values, and that certain je ne sais quoi that certifies your big drip.”

At the heart of swaggerscan’s innovative approach is the integration of gaming mechanics. Users must demonstrate their prowess in a variety of skill-based challenges in order to unlock the ability to connect with potential matches. This weeds out the “mid” and helps create a variety of ways singles can meet more like-minded matches.

Upgrading your online dating approach: 4 hilarious ways to upgrade your online dating game (without scaring them off)

1. Ditch the generic “Hey, how’s it going?” opener and try something more unique, like “If you were a kitchen appliance, which one would you be and why?” (Hint: Blender = “I’m a bit of a wild card, but I’ll blend you up something delicious!”)

2. Instead of the usual boring profile, spice things up with emojis, GIFs, and memes. Nothing says “I’m fun and quirky” like a well-placed dancing taco emoji. 🌮💃

3. Forget the standard “I love to travel, laugh, and spend time with friends” bio. Go for something that really showcases your personality, like “I can recite the entire script of The Office from memory. Try me.”

4. When it comes to photos, ditch the generic headshots and get creative. Why not try a candid shot of you doing something you love, like posing with your pet iguana or perfecting your Olympic-level couch potato skills? 🦎🛋️

The key to online dating success is to be your true, unapologetically weird self. After all, who doesn’t love a person with a sense of humor and a willingness to embrace their inner quirkiness? Get out there and start swiping!

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the social media landscape has seen 1) a surge in online dating activity as in-person meetups became limited, 2) a shift towards more intentional and deeper connections, and 3) an overall concern around safety and trust in the digital dating environment.

“We’re not interested in the basic baddies who don’t believe in knowing their own health status, let alone engage in health-infused banter,” Penner declares. “swaGGerscan is for the health conscious community, the connoisseurs of healthy cool, the individuals who know their worth and won’t settle for anything less than personal health.”

So, if you’re tired of wading through the sea of mid activity on traditional dating platforms, it might be time to level up and join the swaggerscan revolution. Who knows – you might just find your perfect health-conscious baddie, someone who can keep up with your healthy swag and turn your mid moments into major boss moves. Upgrade..your approach.
