He had a skin color and the dating app had decided that less women were interested in him So it started showing him women who had children, because they were “less desirable" and because HE was "less desirable”. But oh, no, no, no, no, no - He was NOT less desirable, because he had a beautiful smile with a brilliance as radiant as the Sun on a cloudless day. And SHE was not less desirable, because she had a heart as warm as a freshly baked chocolate chip cookie, with melted gooey parts; and if you have had one that is just superb then you know how good they are. So no, they were NOT less desirable, they were just less sought after,- because that is not the same thing. If you take a diamond and you put it in the ground and you cover it up so that nobody sees it and nobody knows it is there, then it is not less desirable, it is just less sought after. And that is what the dating app was getting wrong, it was showing people what it thought they wanted, what they could already see, instead of showing them the hearty, full-meal, desirable-on-the-inside, able-to-kiss-with-fireworks- -in-their-mouths individuals who were the most desirable. But there is a happy ending to this story, because the app marked them both as "less desirable" So they found each other, and they kissed with the type of kiss That nobody had seen because it was so rare that only one couple got that kind of kiss in fifty years. And they got what they were looking for. They each got what they sought after. |

After seeing lots of single mother profiles on Bumble. I have often been treated differently by apps due to my ethnicity (they try to match us with people based on ethnicity). The break before "And SHE" and the break before "They each got" are actually supposed to be "half" stanza breaks (meaning, not the same gap size as other stanzas).
