Tinderitis

I've been on tinder a way whole lot lately. Because I'm single. I like it. There are much more attractive guys on Tinder than any other dating website I've been on. That's probably the main perk for me. While using Tinder, I've noticed that there are recognizable patterns I tend to see in certain guys on it, and I would like to share some of the types and subtypes of males I have noticed while using this app. There are many more types, but these are the ones that stuck out to me the most (and I almost put up screen shots, but then I felt guilty. . . ).

Type A:
This type is my least favorite. Can I just start with my least favorite guy? I think I will. This guy is wearing an Aeropostale shirt in at least one of his pictures. He also probably doesn't have many pictures. If he does, they aren't very good ones. As in they're blurry, perhaps with him making awkward faces and looking a little lost. Why do I hate this guy? Because why would anyone wear a shirt advertising a clothing STORE? This may just be my personal preference, but I go to great lengths to avoid Aeropostale shirts, and it's an automatic red flag for me when I see one. Unless you work for the company or you own it, don't wear a shirt that advertises for a store. !!!.

Type B:
This guy only has one picture up. The only problem is, it's not of him. HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO LIKE YOU IF I CAN'T EVEN SEE YOU???

Type C:
The guy that's still married and has pictures of his family up. WHY ARE YOU ON TINDER???

Type D:
This is the guy who has a picture with his shirt off. I love and hate this guy. I think he's hot. But I judge myself for thinking he's hot. I kind of wish he wouldn't use sex appeal to get attention, but then, Tinder is based on looks. So this guy confuses me to no end. I don't know what to think. I typically swipe left because I don't know how to feel about him.
          Type B1: This guy usually has his shirt off at the beach. I accept this, and feel comfortable                     swiping right if I am attracted to him. He has an excuse for the amount of skin being shown.                   Don't get me wrong, I'm a feminist and I think it's fine to show skin, but I just don't want to date             a guy who walks around with his shirt off all the time, which could be interpreted to be the case             from all those shirtless photos being put up.

Type E:
This type usually has a picture with lots of guns, and maybe some farm animals. I think he's interesting, but I don't want to live on the farm. Also, just looking at his photos makes me feel like I can smell manure from the horses/cows/chickens/whatever. I like animals, don't get me wrong, this dude just isn't my type. Plus, he can often be found wearing a shirt with "Aeropostale" plastered all over the front of it.

Type F:
This guy has a ton of tattoos and quite a few pics of him drinking. Aside from the assumption that he's drunk all the time, I find this guy attractive, although very dark. He may also be seen smoking a variety of things, and wearing beanies with dark skinny jeans and t-shirts or hoodies. I kind of like dark people, I am just as attracted to a badass guy as the next girl, but the relationships usually don't go well. At least not for me. Anyway. Whatever. I'm not bitter!

Type G:
This is the jock. Most of his pictures involve him playing some sport. He might be rock climbing. The tough thing is, it's hard to see his face in all those pictures. He's always running or something, SO I can't really tell what he looks like.

Type H:
This is the guy who thinks he's fly, but he's really poorly dressed and not that cute. He's way excited about life. Occasionally he can be attractive, and I don't mind throwing in a few swipes to the right on one of these, no siree. As long as he's positive, he's probably go far. And they're usually really sweet.

Type I:
These are the guys who are trying to be hipsters, but aren't quite making it. Maybe they're work in finance. Maybe they're studying medicine (not that doctors can't be hipsters, but I'm not so sure about accountants). Their photos are kind of interesting, but they don't quite hit the mark. Everything they do has to be really organized and logical. These can be really great guys, super loyal and reliable. I'll give them a swipe right, but usually not without some hesitation. Again, bad experience with this type. Tooootally not bitter.

Type J:
This is the last. This is the hipster. I know, people don't like being called that, but let's just try and be real here. That's what they are. All his pictures are really cool. some might be black and white, some of his pictures are film. He looks like my dad when he was young (and my dad was pretty good lookin') He's probably in a band, or has a photo of him painting some abstract stuff. He's usually very attractive, or if he's not, he knows how to make himself look good and highlight his good qualities. He's probably working on an album or novel, or he might be a graphic designer. This is the guy I swipe right on with all my might, and who I rarely get a match with. He may be arrogant, but. . . Yeah I don't know why I fall so hard for that. But I tell you what, if you can find one of these guys who isn't conceited, you've hit a veritable gold mine. Just hope he swiped right on you!
