I always find it humorous when I’m swiping left and right on tinder.
Why?
Many men really don’t know the techniques and the don’ts on how to catch a girl in the cyber sea, which makes the whole cyber-love-lust-one night stand experience a little peculiar.

I’ve been wanting to write up a few lessons for the men out there, for a while now, or at least every time I get on tinder.
Today is the day I sit my ass down and do it, so listen up BOYS. MEN. er WHATEVER.

DON’TS

+ Don’t put pictures up of you with a girl by your side or a group of girls
Why?
Girls always assume the worst and we also tend to over analyze everything. When guys put a picture with a girl or numerous girls on a “dating” or “fling” social network, it makes us think that you’re one of too many things: unavailable, not serious, a player, heartbreaker, cheater. Call us crazy, even if it’s a picture with your sister(s)…keep it somewhere else.

+ It’s okay to play up with your humor and put funny pictures but don’t cross the line!
Why?
Women love funny men, if you can make a woman laugh, you most likely have our attention. There is a line to that sense of humor though, and we can only love so much of it. When in doubt of posting a funny picture, first question that needs to be asked is “will this get me a date?”

+ Post faceless pictures, or only group pictures*
Why?
We want to see your face just as much as you want to see ours. It’s only fair, and it’s a little hard to do when your only pictures are of gorgeous landscapes and your celebrity look-a-like. It doesn’t help putting group pictures up, how am I suppose to know which one of the 13 men in the picture is you?! Also, no genitalia please.*

+ Your “About Me” section is the key to our door
When I say that, I mean it. I’ve recently stumbled upon many “About Me” sections that are horrific, and it makes me wonder if they’ve attracted any ladies. It’s advised that you don’t:
1.claim that “you don’t take anything seriously” (RED FLAG ALERT)
2.pay for a ladies drink or meal because you believe in equality
3. say you’re only looking for a “fuck buddy” or sex

DO

+ Showcase your face and your best features
Why?
We love seeing the potentially sweet/sexy/cute man on the other side of that phone. Simple as that.

+ Be proud of your accomplishments 
Why?
There’s nothing more sexy than a man who is proud of any small or big accomplishment in his life. Tell women about it. They’ll devour it and it’ll get you up votes on her chart.

+ Tell us about your mom
Why?
This one may just work on me but a man that can express beautifully about their mother has got to be so sweet, and loving. I gush over it. To know that there is respect and love for the woman who brought you into this world is priceless.

+ Show interest if you’re into “her”
Why?
It shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone when I say women love good/lovable attention, even if they say they don’t. If you’re really interested in a pretty lady, make the moves! Ask for her digits, seek her out. You’ll get more respect from her if you’re a seeker rather than the one being chased.

I’d love to see your input!
