I saw this on a (scammy) dating app and thought it was hilarious.

I almost get this,...

Who cares what my labels are, if I'm interested in you, that's that. Whatever you are, whatever I am, we're done. If we're having a good time we are winning.

On the other hand I acknowledge reality dictates that others want to pair with people they understand, and labels are labels because they are effective at helping people convey more complex ideas in efficient packages.

But then it comes full circle, if I label myself "no label" that's still a label that coveys more ideas in an efficient package.

Easier to just have a "N/A" or similar option
