We now live in a world where it's completely acceptable to be managing multiple dating apps at your finger tips on a daily basis. I FULLY support it. I should be the spokesperson for Tinder or Bumble because I love a date and any reason to feel those butterflies before you walk in. I'm basically the mayor of the app world...especially in NYC.
Here are some tips that I live by.
#1: Sign up for all of them. Whether it be Tinda, Bumble, The League, Raya or the new one that is launching....DO IT. Keep your options open and not be limited to just one.
#2: Post a bikini pic. Men are pretty simple. They like to see what's under the hood and there is no point in hiding. Let's get straight to the point. *REMINDER* Guys like girls of all shapes and sizes. We are not all built the same, so be confident and happy with what you got. That will show through and it doesn't matter what size you are.
#3: Never swipe right to... ONE PIC WONDERS. If there is only one picture on their profile, that's suspect and keep moving on. ONLY WEARING SUNGLASSES. I don't feel like I need to explain this one, for they are clearing hiding something. #fugly BATHROOM SELFIES. Srsly? Who goes for these guys? CAT MEN. Now I may be partial here because I do not believe in a cat. If a man is photographing himself with cats...things are just weird.
#4: Always see if there is banter. Even if you are post break up and desperate for a date, DO NOT go out with someone unless you have chatted with them for a bit on the app. It doesn't have to be days, but at least see if having a drink with them will be worth your while. (Disclaimer: there are some witty/intelligent men out there who can carry on conversations via text, but when you meet them offer nothing. Just be aware of that.)
#5: Have fun. Dating is fun. Remember that. You can meet a lot of interesting people on these apps. It may not be marriage material, but you are putting the energy out there and living to tell the stories.
