Guys You Meet On Tinder
Tinder has made itself known as the “hookup app” for college students across the
country. It allows users to swipe “yes” or “no” in seconds, filtering out any sort of
emotional connection. Sounds great, right? It can be, if you’re one of the lucky ones.
But most of the time, we see the same types of guys over and over when we’re
scrolling through. Whether you’re new to Tinder or a seasoned user, you’ll recognize
these guys right away (and you probably want to avoid them).
1. The “Blank Bio”
This is the guy you see who has plenty of pictures to scroll through, but nothing
written in his bio. What are you hiding? Are you really trying to have an air of
mystery on Tinder? TELL ME YOUR SECRETS.
2. The “Come To My Place”
As soon as you start talking to this guy, he asks if you want to come over to his place.
“We could watch a movie”. Right, because that’s exactly what you want. A fun filled
night at some random guy’s apartment, where you spend the majority of your time
looking for escape routes.
3. The “Looking For A Friend”
This guy is on Tinder for all the wrong reasons. He’s “new to the area” and “wants to
make some friends”. He’s cute, but way too invested in making his friends on a
dating app known for its hookups. Or maybe he’s lying and trying to play the nice
guy? Either way, not worth your time.
4. The “Muscles Only”
For whatever reason, this guy only has pictures of his abs and his arms. He refuses
to show his face, which is definitely a red flag. No matter how great his abs are.
5. The “One Pic Wonder”
This is the guy that only has one picture, and it’s probably blurry. Like the “Blank
Bio”, it makes you wonder what this guy is so secretive about. Really, you’re on
Tinder. You can’t have that much to hide.
6. The “Don’t I Know You?”
You start talking to this guy, and he immediately says “Don’t I know you from
somewhere?”. No, actually, you don’t. Although, if he actually does know you, that
can lead to some rather awkward real-life conversations. Best to just avoid this
altogether.
7. The “My Dog Is Cuter Than Me”
This guy only has pictures of his dog. Score. But he clearly doesn’t want you to
actually know what he looks like. Why is everyone so obsessed with being
mysterious? Either way, if I swipe right, it’s because I want to talk to your dog, not
you.
8. The “Group Pic Guy”
He only has group pictures, so you have to play the super fun game of guessing
which one he actually is. Bonus points if they’re all wearing sunglasses.
