Tinder has changed the game of online dating. It's a way for millennials and anyone older to judge a potential partner by just a few pictures and a swipe of the finger. If two people both "like" each other, they can then begin messaging. Although some love stories will begin "Once upon a time, Timmy swiped right on my selfie..." the majority of people find very little luck on this app. On college campuses across the country people either use it as a way to look for a quick hookup or simply as a form of harmless entertainment. I personally have never used the app, but my best friend has and oh boy, has she had some winners. Based on her experience, here are the thirteen types of guys you meet on Tinder:
1. The Family Man
"If I had four quarters to give to the prettiest girls, I’d give three to you…the fourth would be for our daughter.” Mike Jan 5, 2017

Shockingly, none of these lines have won the heart of my best friend - so if anyone's interested, you're invited to be the fourteenth guy. Other than that, Happy Tinder-ing to all.
