5 Types of Guys You'll Find on Tinder
Before I met my current boyfriend, I've been in the online dating conspiracy for a year and quite frankly, it was tough. But as faith would have it, that's how my man and I got together. For so long though, I didn't believe I could find someone that I would end up in a long-term relationship with. While I was out there looking for someone to share my life with, here's five guys that I've encountered on Tinder.

Tinder
Love is always in the air! Or at least the smoldering remains of it. What’s more inviting than the stench of one-night stands, breakups, and desperation? Forget E-Harmony or face-to-face dating—who needs to invest in relationships? What better way to find “the one” than getting the old but trendy location-based social Tinder app? No, this isn’t an advertisement, but it can’t hurt to tell (and sometimes exaggerate) the truth. Anyone who has come in contact with this masterpiece is sure to tell some crazy stories. From stalkers following others to work, men calling for blowjobs, or random girls requesting to swing in hammocks in the middle of the woods (that’s not an exaggeration), Tinder expands your horizons and your fiery horror stories. But when you’re a young, ambitious millennial, any reckless adventure will do, especially when you only have to worry about yourself because you’re as single as a dollar bill. I mean, try new things, right?

Swipe Right for Love?. Top Story - January 2018.
What am I even doing? A wave of doubts ran through my head as I nervously watched the app download on my phone. The girl in the dorm room next to mine swore this was the only way to get over my bad breakup and I was apparently willing to try anything. Including subjecting myself to a barrage of sleazy messages, followed inevitably by the wave of completely unwanted dick pics. Tinder, while nowhere near my comfort zone, turned out to be exactly what I needed. Not only would I learn to be more confident in my interactions with the opposite sex, I would also stumble across the love of my life.

The Fine Art of Social Hibernation
Not everyone wants to go outside this holiday season, this article is for you. What if you found yourself with the worst case of seasonal allergies? What if your love life was turning into a torrential soap opera and you just needed to escape into your fortress of solitude? What if you're so done with 2017 and anything below 65 degrees was not worth going outside for? Whatever the reason, the introversion within you has won and all social fabulousness has been relegated to 2018.

Are Internet Friends Just as Good as In-Person Friendships?
Oh, man. The big question that seems to come to light a lot more often than it did back in 2010. That doesn't mean it's a bad thing- it's actually quite fascinating!

Social Media and Infidelity
Instant Gratification Sometimes it starts with a harmless chat site or even a site like Facebook. Quickly the people of social media can fill a void in your relationship showing you the attention you crave from your partner. Usually the attention comes at a time when you are vulnerable and weak.

My Tinder Experience
My girlfriend and I just recently moved to a new city. We lived there about three months and we still haven’t made any friends. The jobs we worked at didn’t really give us opportunity. We both worked with older people with little kids, so they didn’t go out a lot. We went to bars, but it’s hard to get a conversation going when it’s so loud and people are so drunk.

Most people have the luxury of dating locals, but not all of us have that luxury. Being in a long distance relationship is brutal, but thankfully, it's not as bad as it once was. There are now tons of products that help people from around the world stay in contact with their significant others.

How to Get People to Show Their True Colors
Facebook is my livelihood. No, that is not sarcasm or an exaggeration; the majority of my income comes from writing posts for small businesses. So, when people tell me that I should take a break from the social networks, I have to politely tell them to mind their own beeswax. Sometimes, though, I'll post something on Facebook just to get a rise out of people, just for the fun of it. The fastest way to find out someone's true colors is to post something that could vaguely be about them.

5 Benefits of Online Dating
In a time when McDonald’s isn’t fast enough for some people, it should come as no surprise that our grandmother’s ways of dating are slipping away. It seems that the general population is too caught up with work, school, their family, or all of the above to set time aside to go out and date socially. Enter online dating. Will it take over the traditional dating scene? It’s hard to say, but it is definitely playing a major role in how people are connecting and socializing.

Keeping Up with Absolute Rubbish
Have you ever noticed how the pictures you want to stand out to someone, hardly ever do? Then something you post, random and effortless, will capture their attention? It’s the unstudied air of it I believe, that is attractive. Just us being us. Not worrying over what filter to use, or which quote to copy and paste as a useless caption which doesn’t even relate to the selfie. (We have all done it, you are in denial if you try and consider yourself an exception). We spend so much time perfecting our image, what we portray. Can you honestly say everything you have put out on social media is accurate?
