someone actually asked for an info dump
I'm always surprised when it happens. 99% of the time I'm just tolerated, but every once in a while someone asks. Happened last night. I was sooooooooo happy.

I gotta find a way to signal to people that I love hearing their infodumps
I just gotta find a better phrase that won't make me look like a coprophile
I go with "I love listening to people talk passionately about their special interests".
Yeah, same. I used infodump because that's the jargon around here.
Hey I think ive seen your hinge profile
what an incredibly weird and uncomfy thing of you to say. i've never installed that dating app before...
haha, sorry if it made you uncomfortable! It's a really common cue on a lot of profiles 😅 So many people use the apps now you just get used to the idea that everyone knows
Oh, okay, that makes more sense.
I mean, I think a lot of the dating app culture stuff stays way more local. I'm in Australia so the stuff you commonly see is gonna be different.
I find that asking specific, pointed, open-ended questions over time usually gets people to open up. "You said, blah-blah, can you explain that more? I'm not familiar." and just listen.
