Do you want to play a game?

 

Let’s talk about dating apps this time. I think we can all agree that even though there are several on the market we all know which one is the king. It’s the one and only Tinder. I’m talking from a straight-heterosexual perspective. 

Our phones are so attached to our hands nowadays, and our headphones/earplugs to our ears that is almost impossible to meet a person in a regular environment. I’m a very extrovert person and I make new friends all the time, but I haven’t met a guy that I have gone on a date, I think in years, if ever, in a bar or a cafe, that happens on movies or Netflix shows. 

For the all of you that have been living under a rock or have been married since high school (if you have been dating the same person for more than two years I considerer you have been married and if you are under thirty I’m a little disgust #LOL) let me explain to you that Tinder is a dating application. The concept is pretty easy, you swipe right if you like the profile of the person, left if you don’t. You have some extra futures that I’m not going to advertise because they ain’t paying my girl for advertising! 

The goal was to find love in the beginning. Nowadays, it’s a miracle of God if you actually find someone that wants something more than just a one night stand! My guy friends use it as a video game, literally. They don’t swipe, they use the bottoms of like and unlike and base on the first picture play with it, like a Nintendo with the profiles for 15 minutes see the matches they get, look later the profiles, and then they unmatched the ones they don’t find attractive. 

With this information my beautiful girls: first impression really fucking matter! On these apps, you have one chance and just one to be outstanding. A friend told me that now the algorithm changes that first picture to the one you get the most swipes. But still, when your profile is new you still need a solid first pic so choose wisely. 

All the pictures need to be solid and recent. My formula is 2-3 good selfies, two full-body, one video, one group picture and one funny or that shows something unique about yourself. Again this is a meat market. The competition is fierce. We are all liking the same people. So we need to find a way to make ourselves memorable. To the guys, if you put 1 or 2 pictures I’m swiping left even if you look like Brad Pit, especially if you look that good! I don’t trust people that don’t have a variety of pictures. That means most likely your profile is fake or you are insecure about yourself, and both are a female boner killer for me. 

Some people put in their bio they don’t like group pictures to what I reply: I do think one is necessary! If you don’t prove to me you have friends means you might be an outcast or not a social person, you can be shy on a first date. I love corrupting fresh meat. But I don’t date weirdos. The ones who put puppies yes they are cute as fuck if you are in the picture with them! Omg! The worse profiles are the ones make with memes who the fuck swipe right to that shit? Girl you need to be out of your mind or have some serious daddy issues! 

With this I have to say to my girls: Be careful with your personal information and FUCKING careful when you agree to go on a first date! Again a lot of weird people on that app! The same goes for the guys. Meet in a public place, even if you want just a night of sexy and healthy fun! Don’t give your address! The chat of the app sucks! From the start. I have no idea why they haven’t change that, but when you change to a different app I always use Instagram or another app before even suggest to give my phone number! 

Another tip I forgot about the pictures, filters use it wisely and carefully. You still need to look like your pictures when you meet in person! Also, use the biography to stand up! Make it funny! Don’t be so serious! Nobody wants to chat with an egg without salt! 

Okay, I think this enough information for now! I leave you to process it, Let me know if you find it useful if you agree or not with my formula #shameless 

XOXO
