If you’ve ever dated someone who you thought was your man, but then realized he eats 10% of his weight a day in plant matter, he shot a man in Reno just to watch him die, and is also choking on your alibis while opening up his eager eyes, he’s not your man: He’s somewhere between manatee, Johny Cash, and Mr. Brightside.
If that made no sense to you, and if you believe dating in general to be a confusing matter, don’t despair. Twitter might be able to help.
A new meme launched by Twitter user @KylePlant Emoji on November 22nd, 2018, frames tidbits of pseudo-dating advice into an easily-digestible format of 280 characters or less.
