> Its pretty much all that matters when we reduced dating to a profile pic and a swipe

You can also list your job, that matters a lot more than your profile picture if you are a man, doctors easily get dates etc.

Sadly, listing "game developer" or "programmer" tends to have the opposite effect. We aren't "prestigous" enough to be carried by our jobs (despite making decent money), and we still get a lot of that old school "nerd" persona to boot.

I'd have better luck pretending to be an artist, despite my modeling skills being barely above "Hello World".
