6 Tinder Tips for Guys

Ahh, Tinder. People are ashamed of you and make fun of you, but continue to swipe on you (myself included). As a serial swiper, I will admit that there is nothing more annoying to a female Tinderella-in-waiting than a bunch of frogs amongst the princes in the bowels of Tinder. Here is how you can improve your profile so you can find your Tinderella.

1. DO have a profile photo.

You NEED a profile photo. How do you expect to get any swipes what-so-ever if you have no photo of yourself, I thought this was obvious--but it's not. And if you do have one, make sure it is a decent photo. This includes car driving selfies, laughing pic, you being active, a semi-professional headshot and the like.

2. DON'T make your profile photo a group photo.

Yes, you can prove to everyone that you have friends but do it in a later photo. The first photo is meant to say "This is me, I am sexy/funny/cuddly..." If your first photo is of you and all your frat bros, you're telling the swiper "I know I'm not that attractive, so I will fool you by not telling you which one is me in the group photo." That is annoying. Swipe left.

3. DO have a clever or honest bio.

Clever bios, if the girl reads them, you're already in. Because women treasure personality over physical attractiveness, if you let a funny or smooth side come through with your words, you may get a swipe that wouldn't have otherwise.

You can't go wrong with honesty. If you are looking for hookups, say it. If you aren't, say it. If you "just moved into town and looking for people to chill with," say it and don't expect more when a girl decides that you seem like a nice friend and not hookup.

4. DON'T have only one photo on your profile.

Nothing is sketchier than a guy that only has one photo. Is he not photogenic? Does he not like photos? Does he not have any photos? He must be ugly...or weird. Swipe left. Do yourself the favor and upload that slightly awkward photo from last Christmas, it says your not a crazy.

5. DO start a conversation if you really want to talk to the girl.

If you put "girls talk to me first" is the wimpiest thing I have ever read in a bio. I get if you want a woman that can pet your ego, but you're on Tinder for a reason--you do the talking and hopefully she'll talk back.

6. DO NOT EVER ask for sexual favors/nudes in the first conversation.

You're a perv or really horny. Either way, you're not getting it. Unmatch and Report User.

If you can follow some of these simple rules, you will start to get more matches. Women aren't that complex, we just want a few things and on Tinder, you never know what you are going to come across--so put your best foot out there.

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.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
