You look at the filter options and for the first time your sense of adventure after installing the famous Transformation Tinder app starts wavering a bit, wouldn't this be too much?
You are like many women in their early 20's in this world, someone who likes to have fun and is still young enough to dare and try new things like this, but that has had her share of broken promises and unfulfilled hopes and dreams that are starting to take their toll, among those a couple of relationships that ended in a bad enough way to make you want to look for alternatives. As someone who couldn't live without her phone of course you knew about the app that would allow to to transform or be transformed for dating purposes, but back then you felt those things were below you, something that only had a purpose for people with unrealistic kinks or with intentions to deceive, pretending to be things they weren't. But now you were older and wiser, and experienced what it meant to be deceived in real life by partners that seemed to be a good match, so you no longer thought it was such a crazy idea to try.
You also have heard the stories about it, both the good ones where people could make some wild dreams come true thanks to the magic of the app, and the bad ones where people supposedly disappeared or ended up stuck forever transformed into something else, but in your mind they all had to be exaggerations. It was up there, in the most popular and most downloaded apps of all time in the store, it was also used by some people you knew, acquaintances that either had nice words to say about the experience or called the whole thing a crazy trip worth doing at least once. You didn't really feel that you were in danger.
But what you didn't know was if you wanted to change someone or be changed yourself. You felt like you wanted to try both, but which one first? You could see the appeal in the sense of safety that came with knowing whoever you matched would be transformed into whatever you would put in your profile, but also could see the appeal in being transformed, specially in these times that you felt a bit frustrated with your self image for not being able to maintain a happy long lasting relationship. You sighed admitting you didn't really think this one through and decided that casting a wide net to see what people was looking for would be probably for the best.
You started looking at profiles and swiping left until you saw someone you liked, because regardless of any transformations shenanigans, first impressions were still what mattered. You knew yourself, at some point you would give up, match with someone and finally experience what using this app was really like.
