Single Female Duck Seeks Breadwinner

With a dating history riddled with one disappointment after another, local single duck, Misty Pebbles, went where no duck has gone before, placing a classified ad in the local Sunday paper:

“Single Female Duck Seeking Breadwinner: Tired of swiping. Tired of games. Looking for someone to take me under their wing. Enjoys fishing, taking baths, strolling a Farmer’s Market on a lazy Sunday, and Agatha Christie novels. Willing to migrate.” 

Misty spent her early years in the dating pool never wanting to ruffle any feathers, but after years of downloading, deleting, and redownloading apps like OurNest, FlockFinder, and Ponder, Misty decided it was time to shake things up. And if her direct approach scares you, then she says you were probably never right to begin with.

“I’ve tried everything,” said Misty, preening herself in front of the reflecting pool, “Name an app, I’ve been on it, and where has it gotten me? Most drakes on these apps act like they’re in it for the long term, but you let them fly in your V-formation once and the next thing you know they’re ducking your calls. It’s like, the second a swan bats a smokey eye at them, they’re gone. I’m ready for the real thing. No more decoys.”

Through it all, Misty remains optimistic that she’ll find a man who fits the bill, and when she does, that’ll be one lucky duck.
