Oh my god please talk more about yik yak dating this sounds terrifying but I’m intrigued
Idek where to start, but sure.
My college has about 3000+ students, and it’s a college town, so yik yak is like exclusively students. There are two types of yik yak users: the ones who keep there icons, and the ones who change it all the time to stay anonymous. For the anonymous ones, usually it’s just posts about wanting to hook up with some one, and then people reply, and since there are no dms, you get to watch 2 strangers who know nothing about each other plan out their meeting time and place. Now actual dating happens too, but it’s a little different. We have yik yak “celebrities” and those are people who keep their icon and have it shown on every post. The users build parasocial relationships with these people, who we once again have no idea who they are or what they look like. Eventually, some users will make a post asking a yik yak celebrity out, and they’ll talk in the comments, plan a meeting time, and us other users all get updated in real time. I actually have done the whole yik yak dating thing (do I recommend it? no) and my celebrity of choice was Pink Pirate Flag. She posted about our flag means death and so I eventually set together a meet up, having no idea what she looked like (luckily she was hot). Tbh, it was a train wreck, but surprisingly not for the meeting-your-situationship on yik yak thing.
