Want Women to Swipe Right? Then Don’t Do This!

Meeting new people and going on dates is not an easy task. Signing up for Tinder to put yourself out there seems fairly easy though, but finding a match? Now that's where it starts to get difficult. There is a myriad of reasons why someone may decide to swipe left instead of right. So guys, if you want to maximize your chances of matching with the girl of your dreams don't do these following things.

1. No Bio? No Match.

Women should not have to ask themselves this question when looking at your profile.

https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwirsOKk47fgAhVo0YMKHXHGD7EQjRx6BAgBEAU&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwifflegif.com%2Ftags%2F413447-kazoo-kid-gifs&psig=AOvVaw1FUjQioNontl28XU8oGRnK&ust=1550115186631070

Unless your pictures perfectly convey everything about you (which they won't), a bio is a great way to let women know what makes you so great. So don't skip this!

1. A one-word bio? More like bye bye boyo!

The only way to respond to that one word bio.

https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwig3fHI47fgAhXL24MKHZeAAh0QjRx6BAgBEAU&url=https%3A%2F%2Fgiphy.com%2Fgifs%2Fk-bye-3o6EhKMlqjCLxsZ06k&psig=AOvVaw3ctPiSfdM3HxdVMm9kRgLL&ust=1550115280909303

Once again bios are a great way to learn about one another, so simply putting "hi" or "University of _____ sport" doesn't count as creative. Sorry guys, use those fingers and type something!

First Picture is a Shirtless One

Seeing the third shirtless profile picture in a row got me like.

https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwjT38eM5LfgAhUR8YMKHcU2BJEQjRx6BAgBEAU&url=https%3A%2F%2Fgiphy.com%2Fgifs%2Fannoyed-2NIsKhGamfikU&psig=AOvVaw1HF9EORO9XhQhPMdf5Ix3l&ust=1550115407094765

We get it you work out, but your abs really shouldn't be the first thing a woman sees on your profile. You just blend in with half of the guys on Tinder. Stand out with something unique like the last time you traveled or did something exciting!

Pictures That Have Other Women Clearly Cropped Out

You're trying to get a date, not the other woman, so leave her out of the picture.

https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwij3q685LfgAhUC5YMKHbn4CmgQjRx6BAgBEAU&url=https%3A%2F%2Fgiphy.com%2Fgifs%2Fmeme-show-chappelle-qvRjLOs2SVPsk&psig=AOvVaw34lxPEOTJHVGkviiwa7qTq&ust=1550115481850757

You have dozens of pictures of yourself, so please go through the effort to find one without an ex in it. It just makes you lazy otherwise.

You Are Not A Car

Leave that car behind and focus on you!

https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwij18ac5bfgAhUE4IMKHY4HD_oQjRx6BAgBEAU&url=https%3A%2F%2Ftenor.com%2Fsearch%2Fjump-out-of-car-gifs&psig=AOvVaw1_rWOjutwnixmtU2OO-clC&ust=1550115674362655

I can assure you unless you drive a Lamborghini, most women don't care what kind of car you drive. Please leave out the car pictures, and for the love of god don't make it your profile picture!

Go Easy on the Animal Pictures

Unless you look like this every picture should not be of a dog.

https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwiD77To5bfgAhXGz4MKHYMaCg8QjRx6BAgBEAU&url=https%3A%2F%2Fgiphy.com%2Fgifs%2Fdog-people-look-Yx5ns1mSPBle0&psig=AOvVaw2EsPYPi3JE5QLrJgkPs4Hc&ust=1550115884807963

Yes, your dog/cat is adorable, but I'm not looking to date them. One or two pictures with your furry best friend are more than enough to get the point across.

There's a Baby in the Picture, but Why?

My face when I see the baby and not knowing who's it is

https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwjwo67H5rfgAhUV84MKHRZGAtYQjRx6BAgBEAU&url=https%3A%2F%2Fgiphy.com%2Fgifs%2Fwould-capsule-ph6ewybUlGbW8&psig=AOvVaw3Oy2owbGP8sO1VoYZAokRm&ust=1550116085173219

Not every woman is looking to become a stepmom, so when guys have profile pics of them with babies, red flags start going up immediately. Unless you explain that it is or isn't yours in your bio, most women are going to assume it's yours and swipe left.

Boomerangs Don't Load, So Don't Use Them

I'm not waiting for your gif to load.

https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwihx6Ol57fgAhUiyoMKHf_EDqkQjRx6BAgBEAU&url=https%3A%2F%2Fgiphy.com%2Fgifs%2Fnick-jackson-JMvMOZsGSTcwE&psig=AOvVaw1qn5w8oZgUhzoPFSpIV5tx&ust=1550116263554640

If a girl is twenty minutes into swiping through Tinder, she isn't going to wait around for your boomerang to load on the crappy university Wi-Fi. Make sure your first picture is exactly that, a picture.

Your Listed Age Isn't Your Real Age

This is really the most annoying one of them all.

https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwjd0_n357fgAhVHzIMKHTMRBX8QjRx6BAgBEAU&url=https%3A%2F%2Fgiphy.com%2Fgifs%2Fmatt-damon-aging-saving-private-ryan-GrUhLU9q3nyRG&psig=AOvVaw3QysrsQlU8LUSRegQLfiHc&ust=1550116396346834

If you're 18 and not 21, put your real age! Tinder has the age filter for a reason. There's nothing worse than finding a good match, but they turn out to be either way too young for you or way too old. Seriously guys, just be honest.

Group Pictures are Good in Moderation

How am I supposed to know which one is you?

https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwiem5ib6LfgAhWCpYMKHVVvBQoQjRx6BAgBEAU&url=https%3A%2F%2Fgfycat.com%2Fgifs%2Fsearch%2Fgroup%2Bhigh%2Bfive&psig=AOvVaw33BhmNWLg_ZHghJgVEknK9&ust=1550116504991609

Fellas, do not make every single photo on your tinder a group picture. It's way too hard to guess which one of you in which. If a woman has to use deductive reasoning to figure out which one is you, something is wrong.

Snapchat Filters Should Stay on Snapchat

Swiping left.

https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwjYqPLK6LfgAhVl54MKHeCqA4AQjRx6BAgBEAU&url=https%3A%2F%2Ftenor.com%2Fsearch%2Fsnapchat-me-that-gifs&psig=AOvVaw0KKAeb6rft74NYeEZEucPm&ust=1550116583751211

I get it, those fake sunglasses make you look like a badass, but on every single picture? Show me what your face looks like without any crazy filters. Trust me you probably look better without them.

Every Picture Looks the Same

I shouldn't feel like I'm in the movie.

https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwjF36-Q6bfgAhXp6oMKHTL4CAMQjRx6BAgBEAU&url=https%3A%2F%2Fgiphy.com%2Fexplore%2Fgroundhog-day&psig=AOvVaw20VeJxzRuIunVX_H8PpXTs&ust=1550116775022092

Yes, everyone has an angle they look good in, but change it up at least a little. Six mirror bathroom selfies back to back are kind of dull…

Your Listed Job is "Sales Associate at Dunder Mifflin"

See, even Stanley gets it.

https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwimwZ-w6bfgAhWE2YMKHc7uBPIQjRx6BAgBEAU&url=https%3A%2F%2Ftenor.com%2Fsearch%2Fannoyed-gifs&psig=AOvVaw21cOG1XpRtd4HReqg3nxO_&ust=1550116842228104

We get it you like The Office. You think it's clever to put this as your job, but it's not clever. It's done constantly. Try something else like a skydiving instructor?

Flipping the Bird in Your Profile

Not the first thing anyone wants to see.

https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwikmNzM6bfgAhWK7IMKHVn_B4kQjRx6BAgBEAU&url=https%3A%2F%2Fweheartit.com%2Fentry%2F168506399&psig=AOvVaw0PyN7ncoO-Y1sOklBKnccN&ust=1550116902425415

Your first impression shouldn't be anything negative. The first thing a woman sees shouldn't be you telling her to f*** off. Try literally anything else.

Let Your Elders Rest in Peace

If only this was what really happens...

https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwixvfX96bfgAhUJzIMKHQ1ACXcQjRx6BAgBEAU&url=https%3A%2F%2Fgfycat.com%2Fgifs%2Fsearch%2Fabuelita&psig=AOvVaw13YKN2XIpYTEsFfXLZDY4a&ust=1550116959971330

You love your grandma. You Know that, I know that. So please don't post pictures of the two of you on her deathbed. It's morbid and depresses people. No really, this has happened before.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

SUNY Binghamton

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
