1. Left swipe (not like) right swipe (like), yes I am new, sorry! And it will be my last attempt to online date!
2. It scares the hell out of me: I have already bumped into one of my exes and one of my old fuck buddies and the ex of my best friend – how small is this city?
3. It’s shockingly enough that you bump into people you know even from your home town in Greece and you didn’t even know they had moved in London but what is worst, is when you find unknown guys that you have common friends with on FB. Yes the application has this indication as you connect through FB in the first place.
4. I still haven’t understood how this software works! Meaning will that cute guy I right swiped definitely have me in his next swiping list so to left or right swipe me or is it all about luck?
5. The owner of the profile is always the ugly guy in the group pictures or the less handsome and it’s a fact!
6. Some guys have really high self-esteem or should I say they are big posers- never trust a guy that takes better selfies than you!
7. How many gym freaks exist in this city? Too many six packs to the extent that those pictures create a distorting effect and blur my sight, it’s like sea sickness! If I see another shirtless picture with perfect countless six packs I am gonna vomit! Can anyone tell them they need to exercise for health reasons and not for the looks? Plus those chemical pills you consume to look like this are not good for you, didn’t you know?
8. Tinder is addictive! How many hours we people waste on swiping? Too many, but I bet it is as addictive as any other app or game. It’s a game itself. And it’s hard to focus. The game-style of Tinder means it’s really easy to keep playing and forget about that hottie you were messaging yesterday. If you’re serious about finding someone, you’ll need to stay focused.
9. Even if guys match with you they won’t text you. It rarely happens that they will, unless they had accidentally right swiped you and that explains everything!
10. It’s safe in terms of that not everyone can bother you unless you match! But then again you wish the guy you right swiped to right swipe you back and then to text you! Too much to worry about right? Too much gambling!
11. When you feel bored and you are on tinder accidents happen! People including myself in these cases tend to swipe fast and in that way to right swipe the wrong person or miss a guy you liked by swiping left! As for the person you accidentally liked, he has most probably liked you back by playing all his cards and luck and texts you first! Next move? Just unmatch him!
12. You can find famous people on it and if you are lucky they might right swipe you but don’t be surprised if they end up being pricks. Friend of a friend not my experience!
13. French are the only guys that go for it! You match? They text straight away! If it goes well you briefly move it to whatsapp and then briefly comes the date! At least they do not run around the bush like the rest! They like you? They act fast! What not to like about them? – I will definitely write a post about the French guys soon.
14. Scandinavians – Kiwis-Aussies are hot, French not so much but as I said they know how to deal with a woman and win over the situation.
15. It is still very casual sex-focused. Many men are only on Tinder for a quick hook-up, so if it's a serious relationship you're after this app might not be for you. But which one is then? All the people use online dating are on it for more casual stuff anyway! I am confused! Maybe the app is called the real world?
I am sick of online dating when this madness is about to stop? When things and human relationships will go back on how they were, like normal? When are we going to meet people in person again? Is anyone else sick of the digital world or is just me? What’s wrong with this city and men? Or is it universal?
I totally hate it but I still have no other option! I can’t actually sit on my arse and wait the next cute guy that ogles/stares/winks at me at the bar/coffee shop/restaurant/gallery/tube/ you name it, to come over and talk to me! Because they normally don’t (let alone to text me on the apps even if they like me back)! And if I take the initiative and do so first they freak out because apparently you scare them off or you pass the wrong impression of being a nympho!
Single is fun yes but you need a partner sometimes and I don’t think anyone disagrees unless you are a phycho and prefer to be alone forever, you FREAK!
