"Today I’m bringing you a special Arubian edition of #whatifwednesday featuring…a very New England fall cocktail that doesn’t fit with the vibe down here 😂 But I’m looking forward to making myself another one of these when I get home. Swipe for the full recipe (including a spin on the @deathandcompany Vanilla-lactic acid simple syrup from Cocktail Codex).

One of the questions I’ve asked people about their online dating experiences is if they think people should be able to rate their dates after meeting them in real life. This was partially inspired by the “Nosedive” episode of Black Mirror, which I think is worth a watch if you haven’t seen it yet. Out of the 10 people I’ve formally interviewed, seven said no and three said yes.
✨
All three yeses came from women; two of them said they think it could be beneficial for safety reasons for women, and my friend ‘Roxy’ said she would just be curious to see if her reactions were in line with others. “It would be validating to see if other people thought the guy was weird, so it’s not just me!” Do you think people who go on dates should be able to rate each other? Let me know in the comments.
✨
Drink rating: 4/4, all the stars
Tinder’s response to addressing unsafe behavior by users: 1/4
