Is there an app that can spot a filter?

After my breakup, I finally worked up the nerve to dip my toes back into dating. I’ve been on a handful of dates now, and every single person is nothing like their profile pics. Don’t get me wrong, it’s them, but like if I’d put on a fancy pair of beer goggles to look at them. The filters are so crazy, I barely recognize them in person.

I’m totally transparent with my looks and who I am. So why do I feel like I’m getting bamboozled every time I meet someone? Is there actually an app out there that can spot a filter? Because I’m swearing off dating apps for good.

Last week, I met a guy whose pics made his look like he had this glow, turns out, it was just a filter that erased half his freckles and softened his features so much, I did a double take when he walked in. Who else is sick of filters messing up dating? How do you avoid the filter trap?

I hate when people use filters for every picture. I always act like a detective when I meet someone online. I first check their Facebook, Instagram, and/or LinkedIn to double check information and looks. This saves all the trouble of being surprised on a first date.
