    Font - incredibly sweet. 2 of them didn't work out just for logistical reasons, but things are going amazingly with the 3rd. I never had any luck when I posted my most flattering pictures, most of the guys I talked to ended up being jerks lol. I don't know how well this will work for men, but I'd recommend it for any of the ladies on the apps haha!
