As someone who comes from a small town and moved to a city - this is all 100% accurate. I wasn't 2 years out of high school and started noticing people my age had already both had kids and were starting to get divorces. Good ol' fashioned home-town morals.

I mean, unironically, kudos for being realistic and also not havin the same 'my personality is I like dog/cat and outdoor activity/athletic activity and want to travel' profile.
And yet many women prefer that. Tinder is shit anyway, it's rarely for serious relationships. I heard only 10% of matches on Tinder end up seriously. My friend's experience corroborates that.
I've been out of the dating game for a while. Isn't Tinder aimed mostly at one-night stands? Doesn't one filter solely by appearance, by swiping people?
I haven't used Tinder in a while, and never got any dates from it, but the app is really superficial. It seems to be only for the ridiculously good looking people, so yeah, the app is more popular for one night stands. Swiping on people is the norm for any dating apps, but the algorithm on Tinder seems to be more discriminatory, I understand.
That was before. The cishet monogs showed up and made everything a bummer.
What small town is this from? ... asking for a friend .... who also has all their teeth.
No clue, but it very easily could have come from the one I grew up in.
The_Picard_Maneuver is MIA, so I dove into my ~2014 era meme folder and am posting some golden oldies
2014? She might have a divorce and a meth addiction going on by now.

... that's kinda concerning ... and if they are in the US, disappearing people is starting to become the norm in that country. Hopefully everything is OK. Thanks for the info.
He could just be on vacation? Someone just pointed out earlier today he hasn't posted in 2 weeks.
We call those 'weekends' here in the US, and we are lucky to have them! /s
Plenty of Americans get vacations! Engineers, doctors, lawyers, cops who murdered someone, congresspeople…
I can stop doing meth anytime I want
Just a small town girl....
midnight train going anywhere cancelled due to 50 years of 0 investment in infrastructure
Does she have all teeth in her mouth or just still keeps them somewhere?
"multiple baby daddies"
Can someone explain what that is to my non 'murican ass?
She has more than one child with more than one man. There are multiple people her babies call daddy.
Calling them baby daddies feels awfully sexual.
the baby daddies are the daddies of the babies.
If a 31 year old would call me a "daddy" I wouldn't directly think of "father".

My baby daddies = my children's fathers
"I have multiple baby daddies" = "My children are by different fathers"
Ah, see what you mean. Yeah, the term is never used like a nick or pet name, it's a state, like Dead or Pregnant. "He's my baby daddy" isn't a term of endearment, it's literally "To [this] baby, [he] is daddy"
In Newcastle we call cats pussies without a single crease in our faces, you're just gooner brained, words do mean other things in the offline world...
Wait till you hear about baby mommas
“Yeah, this one goes out to all the baby’s mamas’ mamas..”
That’s an excellent song, though my experience is different luckily
I actually get along ok with my baby mama’s mama. She has essentially disowned her daughter though.
and baby momma drama
Oh yeah. Don’t even get me started. Mine keeps me so up to date with the drama, I even know how her new boyfriend threatens her, but I also know she can’t leave him because she won’t have a car to drive to work which is like 40 km away because she’s an idiot and got a job in a place where there were no apartments available.
I find it morbidly funny because she used to assault me all the time and was extremely mentally abusive as well. Now she’s crying to me that her new bf, who she was warned about, is mentally abusive and pushed her against the wall.
Both of them are the kinda people that humanity would be better off without them. Them getting together was a major victory for me because I knew at least one if not both of them would get hurt eventually.
Anyway, if I sue her for child support like I’m entitled to and she won’t make the payments, the debt won’t be erased until 2052. She won’t be able to get any credit until she’s in her 50s. It still won’t be comparable to what she did to me, but this is the limit of what I can do legally to gain back a fraction of what I’ve lost (6 figure sum spent on her whims in 2 years is just the start of it, she legitimately messed up my physical health too. I didn’t sleep properly for 2 years and may have lost about a decade of actual life expectancy over the shit she put me into)
From Urban Dictionary's top definition:
Short for "Baby's Daddy". The father of your child, whom you did not marry, and with whom you are not currently involved.
I hadn't heard it was unmarried specifically, like if they did get married and divorced they're still fathers of the babies
The young lady's paramours are not the strongest with their pullout game.
I feel like there's the workings of a madlibs style remix of this post if you swap the right bits around, but I can't quite crack it
I have an hypothesis on "small town hot", with no basis but my observations.
People tend to be hotter and fitter in small towns because the competition for a mate is so stiff. Also, the attractiveness is out of scale with the lower incomes. Also, there seems to be less of a middle ground. You're either hot or a fat slob.
I assumed it meant the opposite: ‘hot relative to the limited choices in the local dating pool but average if compared to like models etc’
Small town hot would be a normie in a large city.
Small town would be homeless in a large city, that's why they are in the town.
Never been around small towns? The selection pressure is immense.
My camp is outside a town of 900 souls. Observe the people going in and out the local grocery/convenience store vs. the people at a Circle K in the city. Night and day.
In a large population, you can be fat, plain, unstylish, whatever, still find a mate. Of course that doesn't account for "the best of the best", but seems to me "average" is quite a bit higher in rural areas, even given the lower income.
People in walkable cities tend to be hottest. Daily exercise does a lot of good for bodies.
You have no idea how correct you are. I moved from a small town to a massive city and after a while I noticed there was a lot less overweight people and people were just generally in better shape.
Move somewhere where you don't need a car and can walk and take public transit. Humans are not built to drive around everywhere and only walk in parking lots.
So does redneck business. Ever met a young man who works a ranch or farm? LOL, walking doesn't get you that body. And the women have to compete for such men.
My take isn't rural vs. city, good or bad. I'm simply stating what I've seen IRL.
That's not really small town though, in my mind. I was thinking of like suburbs where people drive everywhere.
Suburbs usually aren't "small town" as far as I have heard. Small town is usually surrounded by rural, yet has a decent population. Though I will agree most small towns still involve driving. The properties are often bigger. To get to walkable you need tiny town... in which you also wouldn't need the app, cause you already know everyone.
