The dating app for settling

“You’ve searched for the best! Now try the rest!”

When you’re ready to settle down, you have to settle. Because all the best ones are already taken already.

It’s finally time to accept a date with that guy who is shirtless in his profile photo, standing by the weight set at a gym, smoking a cigar, pointing at his bros, and holding a fish he caught.

Don’t be discouraged by the algorithm’s estimate of there being only a 5% relevant match between you and New Beau — the bare minimum based on the fact that you’re both human. Over time you’ll learn to accept each other’s flaws. 

His profile may say things like, “I don’t date no fat chicks,” or “what’s your bank account number?” You may get the impression that he cares more about hanging out at a sports bar with his bros than spending quality time with a significant other. You may find his casual wardrobe lacking. You may feel like smacking that smug, carefree half grin off his face. 

But look at the bright side — you’ll have a date to your cousin’s wedding. Someone to open jars for you and smash house spiders into oblivion. New Beau can hold your hair back while you vomit into the toilet after binge drinking. (Oh, who are we kidding — you’ll be holding his hair back while he’s vomiting.)

We stand behind our guarantee that someone is better than no one. So, give us a try! You may be pleasantly surprised. At the very least, it’ll give your fingers something to do as you swipe left when you don’t have anything better going on.

I’m Angie

Residing in the New York metropolitan area, I spend much of my free time writing. I graduated from Seattle University and regularly return to Gotham Writers Workshop to keep my skills sharp.

Typically writing at the intersection of memoir and humor, I am currently refining several manuscripts that fall into the graphic novel, crime, and science fiction categories.

My goal with this blog is to offer readers a five-minute break from the monotony and stress of everyday life. Success for me is making you smile or laugh.

If you enjoy my work, please consider buying me a cup of coffee to fuel my next piece.
