15 Guys I Won't Swipe Right

According to a recent article published by the Pew Research Center, online dating doesn’t have the stigma that it used to have. In fact, 59 percent of Americans claim that online dating is a good way to meet new people.

While ⅓ of the people who use these sites have never actually been on a date with someone they met online, 41 percent of college graduates know someone who met their spouse on a dating website or app.

It wasn’t until I got to college that “dating” apps were constantly talked about, but “dating” was always a very loose term, and I never felt the need to sign up for any of them, especially Tinder.

However, apparently I was a minority. In 2014, over 50 million people used Tinder regularly, and by August 2015, over 8 billion Tinder matches had been made. When I joined in early 2016, it was for experimental purposes. My friends and I were all jetting off to different parts of the United States for spring break and we wanted to see what we could find.

How did the guys all across America compare? Our conclusion was simple. There are some guys we will never swipe right.


1. The guy holding a fish in one of his pictures

I should start a tally of how many Nebraska and Iowa guys are holding some sort of dead animal in one of their pictures. I hate it.

2. The guy who is going to jail in June

I'm actually very grateful you mentioned that in your bio.

3. The guy who is friends with my brother

4. The guy who plays a D1 sport at my school

I’ve heard stories. We’ve all heard stories.

5. The guy who doesn’t know how to hold a baby

You might be trying to impress girls and draw them in with an adorable tiny child, but when you hold a newborn like a football, I’m more concerned about the baby than I am with swiping right.

6. The guy who worships his car

I have a car, too, but no, I didn’t do a photoshoot with it.

7. The guy who only posts group photos

Which one are you?

8. The guy who isn’t wearing a shirt

“Even if he looks good, I know you’re conceited.”

9. The guy whose bio says “looking for a threesome”

Like, wait. What?

10. The guy I know

If you’re in one of my classes or we’ve had a conversation, your fate is to the left.

11. The guy who corrects his age in his bio

I don’t like 16-year-olds trying to trick me into thinking they are 22. Trust me, you don’t look 22.

12. The guy who posts a picture of him smoking.

It’s not cool. It’s gross.

13. The guy who is 23 and still using his senior pictures

High school was a long time ago, friend. I think it’s time to tuck away the yearbook photos

14. The guy looking for his "Tinderella"

I give you props for a creative bio, but I'm sorry, no.

15. The guy I went to grade school with

We haven't seen each other since 8th grade and I suggest we keep it that way.


However, there is always an exception to every rule.

8 Things I Realized After My First Semester In College

Actually, Kylie Jenner, 2018 is the year of realizing things.

The first semester of college is famous for being one of the most difficult transitions of one's young adult life. You're thrown into a completely new area where the majority of the people surrounding you are strangers in an academic environment that's much more challenging then what you've grown accustomed to for the past twelve years. On top of that, you probably share a room with another person (or even multiple people) on the lumpiest "mattress" you've ever slept on.

With this change comes a lot of questions: what do I want to major in? What am I passionate about? Is what I'm passionate about something I'm actually good at? Why does the bathroom smell like cranberry juice and vodka? What is that thing at the bottom of the shower drain?

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.
