Brian, An Average Guy Struggling To Find A Date

Brian was facing another lonely night at home, alternating between watching TV and playing on his PS5. He would have preferred to have a girlfriend to be hanging out with, but had never been much of a ladies' man. It wasn't that he was ugly, just average looking, which didn't seem to be what the kind of women he was attracted to wanted. He had tried all the major dating apps and the response had been tumbleweed, which had lowered his confidence to below where it had been when he had signed up to them - which already wasn't high. As he started up the next episode of The Pitt, at least taking some consolation in being able to ogle Dr. Javadi whenever she was on screen, he temporarily put to the back of his mind the tragic state of his dating life.

Then, he heard an unexpected twinkling sound behind him and turned to see a blonde woman in a tutu standing in his front room. His initial instinct to call the police was countered by the fact she was actually pretty hot.

"Excuse me? Who are you, and how did you get into my apartment?" he enquired calmly, at least not deeming the intruder an immediate physical threat, even if there was a strong chance they may have been unhinged from the looks of it.

"My name is Priscilla Appleblossom, and I'm your Fairy Godmother. I'm here to make up for lost time by granting some of your wishes that had previously gone unanswered!"

"What wishes?"

"Well, you don't have a lot of luck on the dating apps, do you?"

"Nah, I'm off 'em now though. Those things are a fucking scam anyway!"

"Or perhaps you just didn't have the right kind of profile? Now, let's revisit one of your wishes shall we? On 21st October 2022 you said 'I really wish I was the kind of person who was popular on dating apps, it would make my life so much easier'"

"Huh? I guess I might have said that? But who cares now. I've pretty much given up on having any kind of sex life anyway. My porn collection will have to do"

"No, I simply won't have that, not on my watch!" Priscilla declared as she waved her wand "You are about to become a Tinder phenomenon!"

There was a puff of smoke and, once it had cleared, in Brian's place stood an extremely beautiful but also extremely bemused young woman.

"What have you done to me?" he asked in a thoroughly feminine tone.

"Isn't it obvious, you adorable goofball? I've turned you into a conventionally attractive girl! Statistically they are the most popular people on dating apps by an absolute mile!"

"Wha...."

Brian didn't even know what to say as he caught a look at himself in the mirror opposite him. He was now in the body of exactly the kind of girl he would normally lust over but never even get to touch. It was very confusing for him, to put it mildly.

"Look, your Tinder account is already blowing up"

"What? I have an account?"

"I took the liberty of setting one up, with a few snaps of you in your new body. All tasteful, of course. I barely wrote anything for your bio, that won't matter. And I changed your name to Brianna just to, you know, avoid any confusion. I'm telling you, the guys are already going crazy for you. So many pictures of their naughty bits!"

"But this isn't what I wanted! I'd like to date someone who looks like this" Brian gestured down at his current form "But as me!"

"Well then perhaps you should have wished for that, you silly sausage!" the fairy teased him "Anyway, I'd best be off. I have so many more dreams to make real. But don't worry, I'll be back. Try not to enjoy yourself too much while I'm away!"
