“I probably just swiped for your dog”

***

“I can probably drink more than you.”

***

“Venmo me $5 and see what happens 😏”

***

“I like food and Netflix.”

Ok great.

***

I never knew taking a selfie in a car was so ridiculously popular until I got on Tinder/Bumble. It’s never even occurred to me to take a picture like this.

Some girls even have profiles where the only pictures they have are like 5 different selfies in the car.

Doing a yoga stance on the beach.

***

Dog Face filter.

***

The real basic one on Tinder is:

The dog face filter.

“proud mother to a furbaby”

“not here for hookups”

“love to travel”

having an emoji associated with everything in their profile

More localized to my area (very rural):

Pictures with a fish/gun

Listing being taken mudding as an interest

referring to herself as a “country girl”

“I can probably drink more than you”

“faith, family, friends”

***

instagram esque pictures with a colorful graffiti wall in the background or lots of group photos that leave you wondering who the hell you are even swiping on.

***

Stereotypes I’ve seen on Bumble:

– No bio

– Group photo with the same people in them 3+ times

– Snapchat filters (especially if it’s every freaking photo)

– An 👏emoji 👏after 👏every 👏freaking 👏word 👏

– Travel, Netflix, Witty quote from a popular sitcom

– Using “Hi” as an opener (even when I give you an in by putting a question in my bio)

– ONE WORD RESPONSES

***

I’ll go with the high school/college white girls posing with African/Caribbean kids surrounding them.

***

Men might use quotes from The Office, but I see a ton of women who are a “Leslie looking for her Ben,” or a “Pam looking for her Jim.”

***

Travel. I don’t know how people can travel to 30 different countries on a grad student’s budget.

***

Adventuring. What the fuck does that even mean? Is that like questing? Because I could get behind that. It seems like it’s just a generic term to make boring people sound less boring, because they don’t have anything interesting in their lives. Because how else do you mention that trying a different kind of cheddar is the highlight of your month?

***

In the Pacific Northwest, I see a bunch of people that love hiking. I’m not sure how many people actually enjoy hiking versus the idea of hiking, but I’m going to go with the latter.

***

“Just ask.” “I’m bad at writing about myself.” Like. Holy shit. Those topics aren’t for you to brag about yourself. It’s so that I can have something to talk to you about it. It’s not that hard.

***

Fluent in sarcasm.

***

Pretend kissing your straight friend with duck lips.

***

“Don’t bother messaging me if…X, Y, & Z (usually height, race, or personality related).” – There is always a nicer way to say this.

***

“I won’t respond to messages that say ‘hi.’ Come up with something creative! – it’s problematic enough that you’re making someone work for your attention but when he actually does obey your instructions, he doesn’t get a respond back or gets a “hi.” It’s demoralizing.

***

Cats.

***

Live laugh love.

***

90% of Tinder (in my area at least) is just girls bragging about their last holiday accompanied by ten million beach selfies.

***

If you live in Colorado, it’s basically mandatory that you have a picture of you standing on top of a 14er.

Edit: Probably should have specified: a 14er is a mountain that is over 14,000 feet tall. There are tons of them in Colorado and it’s a trendy thing here to hike them, then take a picture on top holding a cardboard sign that says the mountain’s name and your current altitude.

It’s Colorado, we love mountain stuff.

***

Girl 1, Girl 2, Girl 3, Girl 4

All look the same, try and figure out the puzzle to which girl is the actual profile girl.

***

“Proud dog Mom”

***

IF YOU CAN’T HANDLE ME AT MY WORST, YOU DON’T DESERVE ME AT MY BEST.

***

“Buy me food and call me pretty”

***

Every other woman says they like adventure and it’s like they think they’re the only ones saying that.

***

“I probably can [Traditionally masculine activity here] better/more than you.”

***

3 or more pictures of her and some random girl, both with a red solo cup, with some shitty frat house or bar in the background. They look like they’re half smiling, half screaming.

***

Hyperbole about the level of affection they have for a specific animal

***

(If blonde) “Blondes have more fun”

***

Some remark to make it sound like she was forced to be there or indifferent to the app. “My friends made me do it”/”I’m just here for ___”

***

Comment about how sarcastic/funny/sassy she is.

***

Chicken nuggets or something that they think is unique and quirky that every other girl lists too.

***

“Not here for hook ups”. These are the girls that always fuck on the first date. You know a girls a hoe if she has to actively say how shes not a hoe.

***

Those numbered Birthday Ballons.

***

“Not on here very often”- as if you’re too good for dating apps, but still want to be able to swipe right when you need attention/validation

***

Ladies posing with other men and children. Presumably someone else’s familes, but who knows? Swipe left.

***

5’3 but my attitude is 6’4

***

Mentioning how they love the oxford comma. I’m not sure where this idea could have spawned from, but it’s like the majority of profiles that bother to have a bio. Everyone must have seen like one profile do it, think it’s a clever thing they could steal without others noticing, not realizing its actually everyone.

***

As a former 40 something tinder user, a multitude of women with crossfit pics and talking about how often they work out and how driven they are.

It was super intimidating as I’m a little more laid back than that. Fortunately I found a wife on tinder with whom I fit with nicely.

***

Photo of her in sports jersey, or at the game — friendly to male lifestyle!

***

“If I super liked, it was an accident.”

***

“Let’s go on an adventure!” Real creative there.

***

General misandry: “I hate men/you men on here are all the same.”

***

Pics with their kids or the kids by themselves (Really? Who does that?)

***

hotdog-legs on a beach

***

“I’m only on here for free dinner”
