Your TV habits — Acceptable or not?
More often than not you’re going to meet people who LOVE bingeing a good show or movie, because, well…that’s what humans do!
But some are more obsessed with cinema than the rest (not judging, of course!), but how problematic is that in a future partner?
– The parasocial TV fanatics.
These are the people who live in delusions that their favorite shows and actors exist in the real world. Think Disney Adults, but on steroids.
They’re the ones who rewatch their favorite shows multiple times in a year, and finish them concerningly fast.
Bumble matches would most likely steer clear in this case as they’d think you wouldn’t prioritize reality and the thought of a possible relationship.
– The dabblers.
Dabblers are people who enjoy occasionally indulging in shows, but they don’t let that dictate their lives; they like letting episodes marinate while going about their day.
They fulfill their duties: self-care, work, and social life instead of pouring everything they’ve got into TV.
Bumble matches find this sort of behavior acceptable because dabblers balance the concrete and abstract, showcasing the ability to make excellent romantic partners!
🎥
Be it obsessive or rational, people bond over how they spend their free time, and cinema is the most common topic amongst couples in the making.
How you answer this Bumble opening move will determine which matches you pull—the RizzBio prompt generator is here to suggest answers that attract ONLY the most compatible people.
We have ideas for everyone: the dabblers and hard-core fans, so don’t worry about honesty.
And cut!
