I think ‘that guy’ is phenomenally successful due to the weird and wildly superficial dating world tech has created.

I’m quite fortunate as I met my wife before the apps had taken over. Other than being reasonably tall and having a pulse, I am far from being that handsome dude.

But I did ok as I was brought up around women and have always used humour as a crutch since I was a kid, which I found women were responsive to when I grew up.

I doubt I’d have attracted any attention in the online dating world with my beer belly and average face.
