And if you’re about to come for me about my name choice, you are forgetting that I am drunk, and clearly unaware of the fact that Redge is the name of my hair salon.īut let’s get to the reason why we’re all here: the daddies. Please meet Redge, who is probably some aspirational model of daddydom I have buried deep inside of me. The first thing you have to do is build your avatar - or your dadsona - because in order to find your dream daddy, you must first become one. If your dream in life is to feast at a buffet of virtual daddies, Dream Daddy was made for you. The social-media app of choice here is called “Dadbook,” and unlike Grindr, all of the dads are very responsive. Dream Daddy is a dating game simulator where you play a Dad who moves to Maple Bay, a small town that happens to be filled with lots of hot, eligible dads who all happen to live in the same cul-de-sac with you. Instead of the crushing indifference of app-mediated reality, I could live in a world of wish fulfillment.
