Love Hard
Living in LA, a young white journalist writes about the trials and tribulations of finding a partner in the age of social media and online dating. Her recent date conveniently failed to mention a relevant extra-curricular activity: he is already married. Now our heroine is s back on her dating app and soon gets connected to a guy far away in Lake Placid, New York. They are hitting it off well, talking endlessly over the phone.
On a whim, she decides to surprise him and travel to his house for the holidays. They have never met in person. As she arrives in Lake Placid, she quickly realizes that her Romeo faked his profile pictures. He is using the headshot of good looking local dude and is popular with the girls and does not need dating apps. Now the fun begins. If you want to get into the holiday spirit, *Love Hard* will do the trick. It played cleverly with the stereotype that on average white men like Asian women a lot more than white women like Asian men.
