From personal experience, I have compiled six different types of guys from the famous and well known app we all know of, Tinder. I don’t need to go into detail of what the app's purpose is, but for those of you who are clueless, its purpose is to allow singles to find other singles in their area. Some have other reasons for why they have it, that’s their business. I will honestly state that I have one because I am curious as to who I could meet off of there. Give guys some credit, they are not all the same, and you never know who you will come across! Now, let’s stop wasting time and talk about boys (this list could relate to girls too).
1. The Creep
The name says it all: This guy is every girl’s worst nightmare. He tries too hard to impress you and ends up saying every wrong thing you could think of. He may even come off as extremely derogatory and uncomfortable. There are numerous attempts of plans to meet up, but you get a super weird vibe and stick to your conscious. This is the time when you hit that lovely “unmatch” button.
2.The Cocky Prick
We all know someone like this guy! He is extremely self-centered and probably infatuated with himself. You know, the guy taking selfies in the mirror at the gym (are you even working out bro?). The best part is, when you turn him down, he will insult you and pick out your flaws. It’s not you sweetheart, it’s him.
3. The Sweetheart
My fav, and probably yours too. This guy says all of the right things, and he has done so well that he has probably gotten your number. You’re drooling over the cute things he says and fantasize of what he would be like as a boyfriend. He’s perf, put a ring on it. Just kidding, go on a date first.
4. The Musician
As a singer myself, this man is my dream every night. He plays guitar, awesome, play me a lullaby. He sings? Even better! If you can sing, swipe right ASAP. Really any instrument can be seen as attractive, if you’re good.
5. The Achiever
He goes to a great college and is extremely involved on campus. He comes from a good family and was raised with respect and excellent morals. He has big plans in the future and will probably be rich because he is a genius. Just look at him walk on water!
6. The Catfisher
This has only happened to me once, but I am still salty about it. For those who are not familiar with the MTV show "Catfish," a catfisher is someone who steals others’ pictures, and possibly personal information, and impersonates that individual on social media. This guy is using a fake picture and fake name, he also seems too good to be true. I should’ve seen it coming but his charm was blocking my common sense for a minute. He finally revealed himself and now it is super awkward seeing him on campus, end of story.
People really need to stop bashing others for using this app. It does not make someone desperate or weird, it’s just another way to meet people. What is so wrong with that? I know people who have gotten successful relationships out of Tinder, others have great stories to tell from it. We are young. Just download it, it’s free (every college student loves the word free).
