Tinder is an app that you can download on a smartphone or use on your laptop to “swipe” on others who are on the app. Each profile has a photo or multiple photos, and some include a description. You have a chance to talk to the people on the app, and you have the potential to create a relationship with who you match with.

These following experiences are everything that I have gone through. As a woman on Tinder, I had over one hundred matches. I’m convinced that most of the men swiped right without even looking at my profile, as I have matched with many people from high school that had never said a word to me. Below is a collection of stories and types of boys that I have met through the app, some in person and most only via online.

Comment if you’ve had any of these guys match with you on a dating site.

• The one who touches my butt for the first time and says “Damn, someone needs to do more squats”
• The one who says he’s going to come up to visit me. I know I’m far away, so I wanna make sure. He gets irritated that I keep asking him if he’s going to come. So I stop asking, then a week before he’s supposed to come up he says his parents are going out of town and his (22 year old) sister is afraid of being home alone.
• The one who says that all the girls he matches with are crazy. He says this to a girl he matched with on Tinder.
• The one who asks me if want to see their nudes and they’re not talking about makeup.
• The one that started a conversation “I’m just in it for your tiddies” and I reply with a pun, “My tiddies? Is that something to do with the tide?” and then get very upset about my pun and that fact that I don’t want to sent him boob photos.
• The one who says DC is disappointing, Marvel is better. He also continued, trying to support his argument, that Daredevil is better than the Flash. I asked him to elaborate on his point and he says “Daredevil is better because he is a character that is constantly struggling about his concept of justice. Flash, on the other side, just fights villains constantly”. Yet despite his claims of watching the CW TV show of the Flash, fails to know that it was Barry Allen’s mother who was murdered. He then tries to get me to meet up with him, but when I point out that he has failed to hold true to an argument with supporting facts, he writes, “Lmao, dude this is Tinder. And tbh I don’t care in a person who gives a lot of importance to a TV show. Lmao. That’s childish.”
• The one who meets up with him, we talk for months, we hang out, we become good friends, then tells me he isn’t looking for a relationship. A month later he has a new girlfriend.
• The one who asks if I want to smoke weed.
• The one who meets up with me, then ghosts me for three months before starting a conversation again as I’m coming back to school.
• The one who asked if I wanted to be friends with benefits, but exclusively with him, but not a relationship.
• The cute one who has no right to be on Tinder, and actually exists in real life and wants to hang out and help me with homework, but is just looking for a hookup.
• The one who is up front and says that he’s just looking for a human connection because he was hurt recently but is actually okay with being my friend and listening to my issues.
• The one that I knew in high school and we drive around in his car until I get carsick and awkwardly leave.
• The one that I accidentally swiped on, he finds my Facebook after I unmatch him, and tries to date me after I said no thank you.
• The multiple ones that find me on Instagram, DM me saying they found me on Tinder, and have private Instagrams so I can’t even see what they look like.
• The other ones that still find me on Instagram, I didn’t swipe on them for a reason, and they still message me as if it were an accident that I didn’t match with them.
• The one makes me dinner, we have a good time, then tells me I can do better but he’s actually very successful science teacher and we remain good friends.
• The dude with the fake profile using actors like Nick Bateman that I accidentally swiped on trying to message me as if I didn’t recognize the actors he tried to pull off as himself.
• The one who got salty when I didn’t respond because I deleted Tinder off my phone.
• The ones who use animals in their profiles to get women to swipe back because we’re suckers for cute animals that we’ll have a chance to pet.
• The ones who never message me, and I don’t really feel like messaging them, so they remain at the top of my recently matched list and just.. Sit there…
• The meme that I matched with, “Chlorine, 20 years old. 262 miles away. Looking for a valence electron to complete me/Come from a family of 118/I can be deadly or salty depending on who bonds with me”
• The one who still came over even though he was allergic to my cat.
• The ones from high school that I talked to, asking why did they swipe on me. He answers, “Didn’t realize it was you until we matched”. Uhhuh, sure. Not like you don’t just swipe on everyone.
• The ones who message, we start talking, but drop off the face of the earth as soon as we make plans to meet.
• The one that asks me when am I going to write an article about them and make them famous.
• Right now. I’m writing an article about you, Dakota. You did ask so nicely, so here you go.
