The One with Tinder: Swiping to Your Soulmate

Tinder. A blessing and a curse. This is an app in which people find other people to talk to, date, sleep with, or other various activities. Sounds easy, right? This app makes you sign in through your Facebook in order to prove you’re “real”. You download the app. Throw some words on there. Pick some pictures you like and start swiping!

How it works: The location services on your phone find people within a certain mile radius of you. Their photos show up on your phone. You like them, you swipe right. You don’t like them you swipe left. The only information you are given is there first name (from Facebook) their age, a few photos, and whatever words they have chosen to write at the bottom of their little “profile”. Once both people “swipe right” to each other, they are able to message each other within the app itself. Simple right? Oh it is. Some people can spend HOURS swiping looking for someone they want to talk to. This app is also SHALLOW. I mean, I’m not going to lie. I pick the good looking dudes. Why? Because they are good looking, duh. I’m not going to swipe right to a guy I don’t find attractive because I’m sure he has a stellar personality.

Some of these profiles are hilarious. You have the classic dude with his shirt off. Dude with a puppy. Dude with a kitten. Dude petting a tiger. Dude showing you a picture of a fish. What is it with men taking pictures holding up fish?! I just don’t get it. Cool fish bro.

Sometimes, guys only put up group pictures. And then ONE picture of themselves at the very end. My girlfriends and I have gotten so good at picking out which guy he actually is. Odds are, he’s the most unattractive one. Why would you put up pictures of you and your friends when you know they are better looking?! You’re bringing it on yourself. Also, if he has all selfies DO NOT swipe right. It is a trap and he is a psychopath.

There will be many other blogs following this one that have to do with men I’ve (and friends) met off tinder. I just felt the need to explain it all to you so you know how shallow both parties are when the story is being told. Maybe not shallow, but forgiving? It’s a gamble. Again, Tinder is a blessing and a curse.

I’ve been single for almost 2 years now. A girl starts to think, “Is it me? Is there something wrong with me that my friends aren’t telling me? Am I really that crazy? Is is the way I look? Something I said? Am I shooting out of my league?”. A girl has to wonder, what is so wrong with me that men just don’t want to date me? Well, after discussing it with my mother, my sister and some girlfriends… I have come to the conclusion that it’s not me. It’s men.

Dating is hard. Once you are out of college, how do you meet people? The bar. The grocery store. Online dating. It all sucks. Men at the bar aren’t looking for a relationship. No man is going to have the courage to ask you out after you both reach for the same apple in the produce department. Online dating is a gamble. I’ve tried it all. Tinder is always good to meet men, however, the majority of them are just looking for a “good time”. Lately I’ve been trying my luck on Match.com. It’s been going no where. I meet a man I like, and then 3 dates later he disappears and gives me the silent treatment. I’ve come to have no expectations.

Let’s be real, the majority of men in their early 20’s just want to get laid. And that’s ok. Women want to get laid too. However, we come across a double standard. Men get high-fived for sleeping around, women get shunned. It’s sad to admit that our generation has changed the way we perceive intimacy. What ever happened to a man picking up a girl at her house, taking her to dinner and then walking her to her door at the end of the night? Now it’s just, Netflix and chill. Which really means, I just want to get in your pants. Of course, not every man (or woman) acts like this. But my experiences say otherwise. The second you tell them no sex, they are gone.

Don’t get me wrong. This isn’t going to be a blog about me bashing men. Women have their roll in dating too. I’m just going to share my dating stories, and maybe some random life stories, and I’ll let you be the judge.

Happy reading my friends!
