The 8 Types Of Guys On Tinder

Whether you're a normal college student, a corporate exec, a retail store manager, or just living under a rock (which is fine too, no judgements), you have probably heard of the popular dating app, Tinder. Many people have different perspectives on Tinder and many different situations come about on the popular dating app. Chances are, the men mentioned in this list will mimic the men you swipe right to on Tinder!

1. The Horn Dog:

AKA the "f**k boy", aka "The guy whose name you do not need to remember”. This is the most common kind of guy you will on meet on Tinder. Many people just coin Tinder as a “hook up app”, so many guys are fishing for any girl to slip in the sack with. These are the types of guys who will message you first with something along these lines: “Horny?”, “Wanna f**k?”. These guys won't care about the A you just got on your midterm or the cousins your aunt just adopted. They think with their head, and not the one between their shoulders. Hey, at least they are straightforward about what they are looking for. Swipe left? Well, it surely depends on what you are looking for.

2. The Wait-er:

No, we are not talking about the cute servers at your local restaurant. These are the men who essentially “wait” until they reveal their true intentions. They try to reel you in like bait, then POW! The douchebag (“Im horny”) overflow until your brain cannot handle it and your heart is hurting. They make it seem like they want you for your brain and not your body, and that they want to take you out for a nice dinner, but do not be fooled. This is all talk. He is just trying to butter you up for what he is about to lay into you (keep your minds out of the gutter, folks).

3. The Fisherman:

This guy will most likely have a picture of him bating or holding a freshly caught trout on a boat somewhere in Maine. These types of guys think they are cool because they do a lot of fishing with the guys. But you shouldn’t be fooled. These guys are making themselves look like they are very into the great outdoors and are adventurous. For all you know, his idea of an adventurous friday night is sitting at home drinking wine watching Family Guy. His idea of a perfect outing would be fishing, then smooching afterwards in the boat. Swipe right? Of course, if you can stand the smell of fish.

4. The Animal/Baby Lover:

He tries to relate to women on a personal level because of his so-called bond with animals or babies/small children. He wants you to see his soft side, and there is nothing more adorable than seeing an attractive male, mid twenties, holding a little baby (the baby not being theirs, of course - unless you want to be the evil step-mother).

5. The Hipster:

This guy probably has pics of himself sitting at a local Starbucks with an iced caramel latte with soy milk writing his next novel on his macbook. For some reason, he has to write in front of everyone to validate the fact that he is a writer. A typical date would probably consist of dinner at his favorite Thai restaurant then to a local theatre to see an improv show for 5 bucks a pop. Then back to his house to watch his favorite Anime video and talk about the latest in Vegan cuisine. Swipe right? Well, that’s your choice.

6. The Catfish:

This guy is very common, unfortunatley. This is the guy who will want to talk on the phone with you for hours, but not meet. This is the guy who will text you nonstop, but when you want to video chat, or meet up, he will beat around the bush and excuse himself from it. He will make up every excuse in the book for why he cannot meet in person - face to face. He is sick, he has to take his dog to the vet, and the list goes on and on. He probably only posts pictures of his favorite anime characters, or no pictures at all, or pictures where he is barely seen (like, if there is a group of people in the picture, and he is the one about 50 feet away with his back against the camera). Swipe Right? I don’t think so. If you cannot be honest about what you look like online, who knows what you can lie about.

7. The Diamond in the Rough:

What? Are there actually any nice guys on Tinder who don't just want you for sex? Yes there are. It is not the most common, but the good guys are out there. These are guys that ask you how you are doing before asking you whether or not you want to hook up. These are guys that say things like “If you ever have anything you want to get off your chest, let me know! Im here for you!”

8. The Too Cute For You Guy:

This guy is an 11 out of 10. This guy is so good looking and he knows it. When you compliment him, he just says “Thanks”. He does not back it up with “I'm not THAT great,” or “I’m sure you’ve seen better”. This type of guy knows he is too good looking for 90 percent of the mediocre Tinder population. He uses this to his advantage. He plays it cool. Swipe Right? Hell yes.

Note: Many of the guys on Tinder do just want to have sex, point blank. But this list categorizes the Tinder guys even further.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
