'I am a' memes show what people are really seeking on dating apps

From stressed students looking for mental break to people looking for nice weather, this is what people are actually seeking.

Online dating can be a frustrating experience. Despite the amount of niche apps out there, not everyone's looking for love.

A Twitter meme shows what people are really looking for on these apps. It's been around since last summer, but the meme has been gaining popularity in the past week.

The meme follows the registration format for most dating apps, where a user identifies themselves and then notes who they're interested in.

Take this Marvel fan looking for restitution after getting their heart broken by the latest movie.

Or an exhausted student looking for a break.

Like all memes, this one was occasionally used to open up a discussion for deeper issues. Seriously, where can we find an unproblematic fave?

And sometimes it was used for less serious discussions, like this hot take on lemonade.

Does anyone know cute, single consistent weather patterns for this fed up New Yorker?

Someone help these Twitter singles find what they're seeking.
