6 Tinder Tips for Guys

Ahh, Tinder. People are ashamed of you and make fun of you, but continue to swipe on you (myself included). As a serial swiper, I will admit that there is nothing more annoying to a female Tinderella-in-waiting than a bunch of frogs amongst the princes in the bowels of Tinder. Here is how you can improve your profile so you can find your Tinderella.

1. DO have a profile photo.

You NEED a profile photo. How do you expect to get any swipes what-so-ever if you have no photo of yourself, I thought this was obvious--but it's not. And if you do have one, make sure it is a decent photo. This includes car driving selfies, laughing pic, you being active, a semi-professional headshot and the like.

2. DON'T make your profile photo a group photo.

Yes, you can prove to everyone that you have friends but do it in a later photo. The first photo is meant to say "This is me, I am sexy/funny/cuddly..." If your first photo is of you and all your frat bros, you're telling the swiper "I know I'm not that attractive, so I will fool you by not telling you which one is me in the group photo." That is annoying. Swipe left.

3. DO have a clever or honest bio.

Clever bios, if the girl reads them, you're already in. Because women treasure personality over physical attractiveness, if you let a funny or smooth side come through with your words, you may get a swipe that wouldn't have otherwise.

You can't go wrong with honesty. If you are looking for hookups, say it. If you aren't, say it. If you "just moved into town and looking for people to chill with," say it and don't expect more when a girl decides that you seem like a nice friend and not hookup.

4. DON'T have only one photo on your profile.

Nothing is sketchier than a guy that only has one photo. Is he not photogenic? Does he not like photos? Does he not have any photos? He must be ugly...or weird. Swipe left. Do yourself the favor and upload that slightly awkward photo from last Christmas, it says your not a crazy.

5. DO start a conversation if you really want to talk to the girl.

If you put "girls talk to me first" is the wimpiest thing I have ever read in a bio. I get if you want a woman that can pet your ego, but you're on Tinder for a reason--you do the talking and hopefully she'll talk back.

6. DO NOT EVER ask for sexual favors/nudes in the first conversation.

You're a perv or really horny. Either way, you're not getting it. Unmatch and Report User.

If you can follow some of these simple rules, you will start to get more matches. Women aren't that complex, we just want a few things and on Tinder, you never know what you are going to come across--so put your best foot out there.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
