14 Male Archetypes You'll 100% Find On Tinder

123rf

No shame for the Tinder game. Tinder, for me, has become a fun place to pass the time, obtain some easy validation (don't judge), and notice some comically repetitive observations. Below is a list of 14 archetypes that every male Tinder user may (or may not) fall into featuring their typical overall aesthetic. I've also added a few noteworthy and authentic bios I've come across!

1. The Thirst Trap

Features:

-pics of face? Nope.

-pics of biceps? You bet.

-usually an array of various gym mirror selfies

Typical Bio: "Here for a good time, not a long time."

2. The Edgy Artist/Toxic Sad Boy

Features:

-throws memes into collection of pics to show that they too, like memes

-top artist is probably Tame Impala

-all their pictures are fun and quirky, just like them!

-bios are usually edgy, random, exotic, etc... just like them!

-pictures also include many serious, zoomed in mirror selfies

-the one I swipe on....

3. The Typical Stoner

Features:

-pictures of them smoking so you know it's real

Bios Include;

"whos down 2 smoke?"

"420 friendly"

"I smoke weed and am emotionally unavailable"

4. Your Close Friend!

The only person to SuperLike, then screenshot and expose their account by sending it to your group chat.

5. Your Ex's Best Friend

The person you swipe to see if you match. Also the person you swipe so you know they will see it and in turn, show your ex. All in all, time to use your peak pettiness devices.

6. Your Ex

To Swipe? Or to not Swipe? Either way, examine their profile and pictures. Keep an eye out for pictures of you two that he cropped you out of and now has on his Tinder.

7. "Intern at [Insert Finance Company Here]"

Features:

-uses their LinkedIn profile picture

-all photos include him in a suit

Bio:

"6' on a good day"

8. The Frat Boy

Features:

-no bio

-only pics of him with girls (all different), beer, and parties

9. The Catfish

Features:

-no bio

-if you match, ask for their Instagram to confirm identity

-all pictures usually look like a completely different person

10. The Student Athlete Stuck In The Glory Days

Features:

-high school football photos

-if not football, then lacrosse

Bio:

*sports emojis*

11. Guys That Want One Thing & They Make It Clear

Features:

-lists out who they're attracted to in this order: looks then personality

Bios Include:

-"I'm trynna donate orgasms. I'm probably freakier than you."

-"Too young to settle down, let's have some fun."

-"It's Tinder, use it for its true purpose."

12.The Dude You Don't Swipe On Because You Know Them But They Still Follow You On Instagram and Its This Unique Tension When You Interact Online

You know what I'm talking about.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
