There’s even the ones that don’t show a face and ask you for ‘discretion’ because ‘what she doesn’t know won’t hurt her’.īut there are some lovely looking men on here – and that’s definitely not my memories of Tinder. There are definitely some interesting folks on here, ranging from the ones chucking gang signs and the ones who only show a picture of their crotch, to one who’s just looking for a submissive who “plays nice with others”. “Are orphans allowed to watch PG rated movies?”.“On here for the same reason I’m on Pornhub to see the plumber fix the sink” (what does that even mean?!).Tinder guys love to say they’re financially independent.Īlso a lot are looking for both a ‘little spoon’ and someone to ‘go on adventures’ with. Many profess their wholesome intentions to find a relationship (oh yup, ok cool).Ĭool that there’s ads for Durex that pop up sporadically. Ok so there’s a whole lot of shirtless dudes here (both a good thing and a bad thing). To make yourself wonder if you’re a popular member? To psychologically torment you just a little more because dating apps don’t make you want to hurl your phone against the wall enough? What the hell is the point of this? To give your ego a boost if they match you? When you (on purpose) try and match with someone, if everyone else matches with them too it says they’re a popular member. I discover a new feature which I immediately hate. There it is, the familiar profiles of guys either holding up fish, flicking the finger or… ah s., I’ve accidentally matched someone. So I have to go in and reactivate my account after being informed that it’s been hidden due to inactivity (great for the ego).Īnd then I’m off – well, after the ad urging me to join Tinder gold for FORTY FIVE DOLLARS A MONTH. Tinder is my least-used dating app, perhaps unfairly suffering from the reputation that itâs only good for hook-ups and good times. I’ve even dated the same guy twice after forgetting him, which led to a minor panic that I’d been through all of the men in Auckland and I was turning into a female Joey Tribbiani minus the sex (unfortunately).īut after a year of being very single – the thought of dating during this year’s dumpster fire was enough to put me off my rosé – I’ve realised that I’m ready to ‘put myself out there’ once again, whatever the hell that means. I’ve had rubbish dates, I’ve had amazing dates, I’ve had boring dates, I’ve had dates with nice guys with whom there’s just no spark. I’ve had two fully-fledged relationships off the back of them. I’ve used dating apps on and off for a while now.
