Guide to Tinder Profile Photos

Dearest Men of the World,

I am writing you this letter out of love, not anger or annoyance. I sincerely hope you take this message with grace and a desire to change rather than a need to rebel, as my intent is to only aid in your future romantic endeavors, no matter what your desired outcome might be. I have recently noticed a serious decrease in the overall quality of your Tinder profile pictures. I am only partially talking about those of you whose pictures are too blurry to decipher or just lack proper photograph proportions in general (in those cases, I would be more than happy to provide you who live in NYC with a principles of photography class for 100 dollars an hour.)

In an effort to help you, I am going to start off by listing some of the very best type of tinder profile pictures and then highlight some of the very worst. Please take note. I am happy to officiate any wedding that these profile changes might lead to. Just give me a little bit to get ordained online.

Perks of Tinder Gold (In the form of a poem)

Perks of Tinder Gold (In the form of a poem)

The other day, while sitting with a friend, bored on my bed,

“Let’s go swiping on each other’s Tinder”, she simply said,

I really couldn’t help but agree,

Because swiping on other’s phones just fills me with glee.

As we went through the many profiles and pics,

We got barely any matches, not getting our fix.

Though we swiped on our favorites, it wasn’t a match,

Unless you consider a guy with an anime character profile a catch.

As we ran out of likes, an option suddenly appeared on screen,

Though Tinder Gold was something we had frequently seen,

After our failure, we decided to try it,

See what could be gleaned….

Speed Dating on a Tuesday

Speed Dating on a Tuesday

A post by the one and only Rikki Featherstone:

A complete and accurate rendering of my love life. After having no plans on a Sunday and messaging internet boys to meet me at the local library in which not one agreed to, I did decide to go speed dating. On a Tuesday. So what did this speed dating entail, let me tell you! I met 6 different men, 0 with whom I will see again, all whom I deeply admire and respect on a greater fundamental level. I will share information on all 6 men, all stand up swell 6 men whom I do not wish to date, but perhaps this fun and your favorite email on a Thursday will inspire you to find love by speed dating!

In search of love and a potential mate.

Tis the Art of Friendzoning

Tis the Art of Friendzoning

To those of you who have read my posts, you probably have complete faith in my complete lack of dating skills and anything related to that. As a matter of fact, you have heard my struggles and insanely awkward experiences attempting to do anything even remotely, vaguely related to an attempt to date further than the first date. However, one thing that I would never, and no one should ever distrust my experience in is the Art of Friendzoning.  Read more

The Deal Breakers: A Summary of Dating Men Shorter Than You Who Are Allergic to Cats

The Deal Breakers: A Summary of Dating Men Shorter Than You Who Are Allergic to Cats

I would consider myself to be an average size person. Though even though I do not have the experience nor the romantical bandwidth to support it, I do have larger than average standards. I do not have many deal breakers (I like to tell myself), but my main ones are the boy MAY NOT be allergic to cats (MUST enjoy feline company) and they MAY NOT be smaller than me. When I am in a relationship (I have never been in a relationship), I like to feel like a guy is tall enough to wrap his arms around me, to not have to be on his tippy-toes to kiss me, and even to protect me. I know that is some patriarchal BS that I should not be supporting as the feminist liberal that I am, but I can’t help it! Read more
