I remember I used to take photos of myself and other things on Facebook. But now I hardly ever and just let other people take photos of me. The only time recently that I took a photo of myself was when I was out with some work colleagues at a pub in the men's room facing a mirror by myself. I feel like I am the only one who seems to be taking less photos especially if I wanted to update a dating profile. I never get round to it and I also lose interest in them because of the costs as well as getting few likes or views from people and seeing the same people on there.

Costs? Do you mean the cost of social activities that give you an opportunity to take interesting photos?

I mean costs of subscribing to dating sites and apps.

I wouldn't even bother with those things.

Have you had a single date out of those dating sites or apps?

No but I did speak to someone from a site once I think during lockdown and she invited me to go on some live chat thing which I was hesitant and quite suspicious to go on because I think I had several virus warnings when trying to get on it.

I'd definitely give that one a miss.

I don't take any photos of myself either. I think that is something that people age out of.
