Summary

Every time I meet someone new, I feel scared that they will find me hideous and think I catfished them. Rationally, I know men probably won’t mind, because my previous partner – who had perfect skin! I wanted to meet men who weren’t primarily interested in looks. One last tip: Data from Pew Research Center shows only one in five partnered adults under 30 first connected with their current partner online. Some of the above suggestions double as great ways to meet potential partners in real life – no anxiety-inducing online avatar necessary.
