In This Article:

Tinder and Bumble have been downloaded on my phone for a good couple of months now. I've been a busy bee checking out the guys in my area to see if I have a connection with any of them. I must say, these last few months have really shown me just what type of guys there are out there in the dating world. I've experienced all types of surprises while on Tinder and Bumble, both good and bad.

Here are a few things I've learned to watch out for when swiping left and right — things that you'll likely run into too if you're on a dating app:

1. The guy who always brings up his private parts.

Here's an actual conversation between a guy and me on Bumble.

Me: "Where are you from?"

Him: "Pewaukee."

Me: "Oh cool! I go to school in Milwaukee."

Him: "Where at?"

Me: "UW Milwaukee."

Him: "Oh cool! So real talk, I'm pretty drunk and kind of horny. Want to snap? I'll show you all eight inches."

2. The one who is actually hundreds of miles away.

It's telling me you live seven hours away... how did we match when my radius is 50 miles?

3. The person who's on vacation.

The amount of times this happened to me is more than I can count. Just when I think I find a cute guy I want to get to know, I come to find out he's only here for a couple of days on vacation.

4. The catfish.

If you don't know what catfishing is, it's when someone pretends to be someone else online. I wouldn't say I've been catfished three times while I've been on Tinder and Bumble, but I've matched with three guys who have turned out to be fake. And since I'm an avid lover of the show "Catfish" on MTV, it's pretty easy to call when one out.

5. The guy only looking for hookups.

Don't feel bad when a guy directly says he wants nothing more than just a one night stand of some sort... it's kind of what Tinder is known for. But if that's not for you, Bumble offers something where you can specifically say whether you're looking for a relationship or just something casual.

6. Your next BFF.

Honestly, I've matched with some guys in the past who actually became good friends of mine since we didn't feel a connection. You can really meet some potentially good friends through Tinder and Bumble!

7. The single one actually looking to go on dates.

A lot of people associate these dating apps with hookups, but that's not always the case.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
