Men: Improve Your Bumble Profiles

Okay guys, let's talk about your Bumble profiles, because women are swiping left when you have so much potential for them to swipe right! I'm going to list some very important and simple ways for you to turn your profiles around.

NEVER leave your bio blank

First of all, you're banking on women thinking you're THAT attractive that personality doesn't matter. On top of that, you're hoping they're interested in a complete stranger that won't list a single fact about himself...

No bio = swipe left

Make sure you identify yourself in the photos!

Do not only put group photos on your profile because no one wants to guess which guy you are. Imagine you meet a girl in person (if she even swipes right with all those group photos) and she thought you were your friend? AWKWARD.

Even if you do identify yourself in the text options, you should have at least one photo of just you, maybe even a selfie.

Only group photos = swipe left

Start with a good photo

No one wants to see your photos get progressively better, because frankly, they probably won't scroll long enough to get to your best one. I'm not going to give you a lesson on taking selfies, but trust me, some angles are MUCH better than others.

If you really like the photo, then great! There's nothing wrong with getting a friend's opinion either.

I suggest using just a good photo, and save your best for the middle of the ones you include.

Horrible first photo = swipe left

Yes, you should answer all of the standard questions

I hate to break it to you, but height does matter to a lot of people, men and women included. So just put down your height, because no matter how great your personality is, some women will meet you and won't give you a second date based on height alone. I'm sorry it seems unfair, but you'll find a shorter girl one day!

You should also include if you smoke, how much you drink, if you want a relationship or not, if you want kids one day, if you love pets, and what your religion is because THESE ARE DEAL-BREAKERS FOR PEOPLE. Don't waste her time, and don't let her waste yours. Just be upfront and honest, and you'll find a girl that it all works out with.

Exclude basic info = swipe left

Smile with teeth in some photos!

If you never smile with your teeth, you either physically can't smile that way, hate your teeth, or are never happy enough to smile.

Unless you physically can't, you need to show your teeth, because smiles are SUPER attractive to other people. Smiles, hair, and eyes are immediately noticed, so flaunt the facial features you have!

Don't smile with teeth = swipe left

Maybe you read through this and think I'm way too picky about Bumble profiles. That's fine, but I know why I swipe left. Even if I'm an outlier, I'm not the only girl that has these reasons. Many of us think alike...try these things out and see what happens!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
