Name: Pogo Bal
Age: 52
Work: Bouncer
Bio: Just a fun-loving friend who appreciates life with all its ups and downs. Not to date myself, but my heyday was in the ’80s, and I often feel like the only one without a screen attached to me! I might have a slightly inflated ego, but I’m just hoping to meet someone who still likes playing outside until the streetlights come on. Must love Van Halen.

Work: Linguistics Tutor
Bio: Hello, and thank you for taking a moment to read my biography. I am a spelling teacher with over forty years of experience, and very dedicated to my work.

I like all sorts of games, like spelling games, word games, and games with letters. I also enjoy music, and have a personal working relationship with Depeche Mode, and various newer electronic artists you probably haven't even heard of.

Age: 56
Work: Mathematical Engineer, interested in finance.
Bio: Life with me is never boring! With over 22 pieces, there’s a lot here to unpack, but that’s just because I’m DELUXE!!! But seriously, if we match you should be into art, interested in crypto, and be able to hold a conversation with someone who only knows how to go around in circles. Hey, want me to explain Ethereum to you? Don’t worry if you don’t understand, it gets pretty technical.
