This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at UVA chapter.
Liberal Arts

He’ll write you a poem about love and death and then ghost you the next day. Most likely wears a beanie. 

Catfish

***18 not 20!!!!!! 

Low Standards

Because constant self-deprecation is super hot

Across the Pond

A Brit abroad, looking for a broad

Pros and Cons

Cheesy and unoriginal, but makes my Capricorn, list-loving heart flutter

The Outdoorsman

Will protect you from bears, but also might be too excited about guns

Support the Troops

I’m afraid that if I swipe right, I’ll end up married by 22, pregnant by 22, and divorced by 22, while he lives it up with his secret family on a military base in Iran. 

Hoedown Throwdown

Country boyyyyy, I loooove youuuuu…… euuhghhh 

E-School

Plays with Legos in his free time. No shade, just facts. 

Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile

Might drive a gold WV bug, might just be a true crime junkie. It could go either way, but do you really wanna take that chance? 

Party Animal

His best friend is the nurse that pumps his stomach every week

Unoriginal

Thank you Brian (not his real name). Very cool. 

Nice Guys Finish Last

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. If you feel the need to call yourself a “nice guy,” you’re probably not all that nice. 

Michael Scott

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but liking The Office is NOT a personality trait

Edge Lord

Wow, he’s not like other guys. He’s a misanthrope, a cynic, and a total hottie. 

420 Friendly

At least he’s honest

Harry Styles????

Okay, I did swoon a bit… that music video is so good!!

The Influencer

All for da gram! (That’s a Tik Tok reference, thank you.)

UVA

Definitely in the Hoo Crew

Straight Man

No homo dude!!! I am a STRAIGHT MAN and that’s all you need to know about me. 

New in Town

Actually one of the more wholesome bios you’ll see on Tinder

Tall

Because apparently that matters

Illiterate Dog Dad

The fact that he has a dog doesn’t make up for the fact that he’s 21 and doesn’t understand homophones

Whatever the HELL this is
