Slogan: The way to find people like you.
Lovoo's slogan is inherently narcissistic and so I braced myself for a tour de force of man buns and fedoras, and got...well, have a look.
But before you do, allow me to make just a few other pointless comments and observations.

BLOW BY BLOW DATE SUMMARY: dating reviews, Lovoo
In his profile pics, Donald looked kinda like Walter White, but in person, he was more like a fat, balding Harry Potter.
I agreed to meet him at his house because of what my therapist refers to as "low grade suicidal ideation," but when I arrived, there was no answer.
I called, I texted, no answer still, and if you read my column, you'd know this is not the first time it's happened to me.
Also, if you read my column, I am so sorry you don't have better things to do with your time and apologize for all the stupid stupidity.
I was about to go home and cut, when a wild boar, who was later revealed to be an obese chocolate lab, appeared and led me to the back of the house, where a light was on.
"Follow the wild boar to the light," I told myself, as I have so many times before.
I arrived at the source of the light: a lamp perched on an end table just past the bed, where, Donald lay still, facing away from me.
"I found your dog, I think..." I tentatively began. At which point Donald dramatically turned toward me and lifted the blanket, so as to invite me in.
Only Donald....was wearing a bra and underwear! And not tidy whities but girls' underwear. (I will use so many unnecessary words simply to avoid using the word "panties," because it just bugs me.)
So I followed the wild boar back to my car.
SUMMARY | dating reviews, Lovoo
This is not safe and I think I need back up.
Any takers?
And so my quest for love continues.....
