Where You Will Never Find Your Soulmate… Tinder

Where You Will Never Find Your Soulmate… Tinder

I recently downloaded Tinder out of sheer boredom and for a good laugh. After having the app for five days, I've deleted it. If I ever hear someone say “we met on tinder” and their relationship has lasted longer than a one night stand, I congratulate them. But one must most wonder how many times this couple had to swipe left, and how many nudes they were asked for before they found someone who lasted more than an hour or two.

Tinder was created as a dating app, but it can be better described as a degrading game. And no, I'm not trying to make a feminist speech. This app isn't for dating, but for horny guys looking for a one night stand. Regardless of the few laughs I received, here are some things I personally found slightly repulsive about the app.

The Unclothed Profile Pictures: Seriously? Is it that hard to find a picture with clothing on and your face in the picture? If all your pictures are of you shirtless, pants-less, lacks your face or of just your genital area, I will automatically swipe left. And really, who swipes right? Honesty is the best policy? Here, honestly may not be the best policy. Why don’t we just withstand from telling the truth. Even if you're just a horny guy looking for some unattached fling, you can withhold the truth in your tinder caption. Once again, I wonder who swipes right for a guy with a bio caption saying, “looking for a hookup,” or “let’s be honest, I’m only here to get nudes of girls,” or my persona favorite, “lets casually meet up in my car.”

The Guy with a Girlfriend: If a guy’s tinder pictures all contain one girl and she’s kissing him on his cheek, then chances are, this is his girlfriend. If you want to cheat on your girlfriend, Tinder probably seems like a great place to do it. But if your girlfriend’s friends are on tinder, they will come across your profile…and then tell your girlfriend. And if you're dumb enough to put pictures of just you and your girlfriend in your profile, the only person who will swipe right is probably a major home wrecker. 

The Pickup lines: Alright this was comical, but I really wonder if guys actually think girls would fall for some of these? These lines include, “I may not go down on history, but I’ll go down on you”, “Grab a bottle of wine, and play a game of naked twister”, “Did your license get suspended driving all the guys on tinder crazy,” and various others. Yes, I had quite a good laugh at these before I screen shot them and sent them to a group text. But these lines remind me of sixth grade AIM chats... and no one wants to relive our awkward tweens. 

“Let’s snapchat”: If you're one of my frequent snapchat friends, you’ll know I send two different types of snapchats: my tone deaf self, singing, or an embarrassing face. The guys on tinder are going for something else… No, I will not add you on snapchat because no, I will not send you nudes. No just no. Yes, snapchats delete after so many seconds, but snaps can so easily be screen shot. Who would trust a stranger from not screen shooting it and posting it all over the web? 

So download tinder if you’re looking for a good laugh or a one night stand, but if you’re looking for a soul mate? You’ll have more luck on eHarmony.

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Marconi Beach

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.

Yes, the math major is doing a math-related post. What are the odds? I'll have to calculate it later. Many people have probably learned about the Fibonacci sequence in their high school math classes. However, I thought I would just refresh everyone's memories and show how math can be beautiful and apply to physical things everywhere around us with stunning examples.

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.
