Yes, the meme is referring to something else.

For some reason, cishet american men on dating apps love to put a picture of themselves holding up a fish they caught while fishing as one of their dating profile pics.

Nobody really knows why that’s supposed to attract a potential dating partner, but it’s really common.

Ah

I'd guess it should send a "see how I can provide for food even without using money" kind of way?

But yeah it's stupid

To be fair if fishing is your passion it s normal to want to show it.

Honestly, is it so hard to believe that some people genuinely like fishing?
