Tinder Do’s and Don’ts

*Based on real life experience*

Do:

Make them laugh: Put a joke in your bio. Post a silly picture. Make a reference to a TV series. Do something that will provoke a giggle. It will get you right swipes.
Put your interests in your bio. List format is always cool.
Have a “bros being basic” style photo.
Put a picture of your dog.
Tell me what you’re looking for, AKA be upfront. Don’t talk to me for a week and then tell me you’re looking for wifey because when you find out I’m not wifey, you’re going to have wasted both our times.

Don’t:

Put up only one picture: Not only does this make you seem like you could be a bot, but it also shows that you don’t really care and that you’re closed off. Let’s be honest, everyone is on Tinder because it’s easy. Nobody wants to do the work to pry you out of you closed off dark place.
Ask to have a three-way with your match and their parent.
Use a clever line to ask if you’re going to receive oral sex.
Tell me how hard your cock is.
Tell me about meeting your family before we’ve even met in person.
Tell me you have too many matches to respond to your messages.
Have the bio that reads, “I always try my hardest … to not be black.”
Talk about how much you like to masturbate.
