Tinder Memes

The dating cycle of a biologist: meet, talk, drop the most overused biology fact in existence, watch date vanish. Every biology student knows this pain. We spent years memorizing complex cellular respiration pathways, but the only thing that stuck was this single phrase hammered into our brains since 7th grade. It's like having a PhD in quantum physics and only being able to say "E=mc²" at parties. Dating tip: save the ATP synthase discussion for at least the third date.

Imagine expecting basic biochemistry literacy on a second date. The look of pure disbelief when your Tinder match can't recite alanine, arginine, asparagine, aspartic acid, cysteine, glutamine, glutamic acid, glycine, histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, proline, serine, threonine, tryptophan, tyrosine, and valine in alphabetical order. Red flag. Next they'll tell me they don't know the Krebs cycle by heart either. Unmatched.
