With Valentines day slowly approaching and a Sadie Hawkins dance, I have been feeling the pressure of finding someone special. So, I decided to try this app called Tinder. Now Tinder is a dating app where you can swipe right (yes) or swipe left (no) on someone's picture. If they swiped right on your picture and you did the same to there's.... you are a match! This means that you can chat this person if you want. Now 48 hours after the initial swipe I have a conclusion about what I think about this app and why I deleted it.
What was the first line?
So, some of my matches decided to message me. Here are some of the first lines they used:
" hiiii"
"hey:)"
"I'm not gunna lie you're extremely cute"
"Nice pictures"
"Are you a beaver...cause damn"
"Hey..how are you doing?"
"I'm no photographer, but I could picture me and you together" ---> personal favorite haha
It was hilarious to see what they would say. As flattering as it was in the moment, I realized that they 100% send that same things to all the other girls they are talking too.
Conversation?
Basically none. They either were about stupid small talk or they would turn the conversation sexual, in which I would stop talking to them. Here are some examples of some of the guys trying to carry a conversation:
"haha how old is the oldest guy you've been with?"
"my parents just left haha"
"What's your cell?"
"I am seeing Michael Bay movie high as f***"
"I bet you I would be one of the most interesting people you would ever meet"
"Yeah I'm snacking and laying in my underwear like a basic bitch"
Pleasant right? I quickly realized that their intent was not to get to know me, but to try to see who will hook up with them.
Final Thoughts:
So, my final thoughts on Tinder...is that it is extremely stupid. I let my boredom get the best of me. Though I am struggling to find "the one" at my college, I know he is NOT on Tinder. God writes the best love stories and I need to remember that he is in control and has someone really great in store for me. So ladies, if you are actively on Tinder I would suggest closing the app and just relaxing. He is out there ladies, but I wouldn't try finding him on this app.
