What is character development really? Why is it such a common phenomenon? Is it a rite of passage in dating?

Let's just say I'm exploring a different perspective to the topic. Don't get me wrong, I'll always encourage people to choose themselves if they feel unappreciated but why is this a staple in today’s relationships?

I don’t have an answer though 😂...

You thought I would forget to suggest animated series to watch and binge?! Here you go...

Rick & Morty | AdultSwim | Available on Netflix

It is currently 5 seasons long. It is a brilliantly written series with complex characters whose arcs are uniquely thought out (in my perspective).

Archer | Fox | Available on Netflix

It is currently 12 seasons long. There's a disfunction in the family and team dynamic of the main characters and the comedic timing and writing is brilliant.

Family Guy | Fox | Some Seasons on Netflix     The Simpsons | Fox

Family Guy is currently in its 20th season while The Simpsons is in its 34th. Both are family based and carry the same premise but are from different generations. It is interesting to see the evolution of animation through the different seasons of these shows and the writing dynamics change over the years.

Bojack Horseman | Netflix

This series in particular holds a special place in my heart as it touches on very deep and heavy themes like anxiety, depression, PTSD, generational trauma e.t.c and (in my opinion) tastefully tells the story of how they affect the different characters. Each character feels like an important part of the puzzle that is the story.

Big Mouth | Netflix

Puberty but make it creative and interesting.

PS: This list is subject to change. There are new shows coming out everyday...

I joined Tinder and Bumble for a week. God's speed to all who use these apps regularly.

In my very casual and non-scientific social experiment, I used 4 key questions to gauge the quality of the conversations that I was in store for.

Q1: The Icebreaker
When was the last time you cried?
Shows emotional maturityWeeds out those without critical thinking skillsQ2: The Passion
What are your hobbies and what do you like about them?
Gives you a glimpse into the passion of the personQ3: Toxic Person Alert
What do you do for self care?
If he cannot take care of himself/herself ,  that is a RED flag. A WAVING red flag.Q4: The Person's Brand
Look at their bio AFTER talking to them. Is it aligned to the banter?

The amount of effort put into the bio. I think it's the elevator pitch of the individual - the why you should swipe right and match with them.

Did I learn anything? I am not a dating app person. Nairobi has an interesting selection of partners (not my taste but to each their own).

If you DO use dating apps, please stay safe. PROTECT yourself and be smart in your selection. 

Hi There,
