A Definitive Ranking of All of My Tinder Encounters from Best to Worst
This is going to be so long, and I'm not even sorry. I'm not going to lie to you. When I end a rocky relationship (like I did exactly 2 months ago,) I go off the rails. I go to bars, I mess around, and I'm a firm believer in a swift rebound... or maybe several swift rebounds. (Sorry, Mom. I know you're reading this, but maybe you should click out because this one is going to be ethically messy.) I'm going to guess that I've met up with Tinder boys way more often than the average person, but I mean... That's life, y'know? My number one "love language" is words of affirmation, and let me tell you, there is no better place than Tinder to find just that. Sure, the guys are full of shit, and sure, they don't actually ever mean a damn word they say, (If I heard one more, "lol yeah it's 8 inches," I was going to lose my fucking mind.) But if I ever get tired of being called cute and beautiful and pretty and hot and gorgeous, perform an exorcism on me because I am possessed.

Tinder... You either love it or you hate it. Now some people act like Tinder is for the mere peasants of the working class. "I wouldn't be seen dead on it." Well fortunately for you, Clarissa, you can survive on your sugar daddy's monthly wage. Us working class girls gotta do what we can to salvage a decent man from the cess pit of dick pics.

Following on from my previous article "Internet Dating - Spotting a Fake Profile," I thought I would share my insights into staying safe when meeting someone you have met online.

While growing up, I've always felt like I've always "just missed" something great in love, and that my generation would forever be doomed in the romantic gesture love department. For example, when I was in middle school I would watch movies like The Notebook, and admire how Noah took the time to handwrite letters of longing to Allie; at that time, the closest thing that I ever got to handwritten letters were Myspace messages and T9 texts, and let's face it, those weren't really wrapped up in heartfelt claims.

We all crave love, it is human nature to feel wanted and cared for by another and for many they are lucky enough to find true love, we all know that love doesn’t come easy and relationships take both commitment and communication along with trust.
Phill RossPublished 6 years ago in HumansA Girls Guide to Not Seeming Like a Douchebag on Tinder
I'm no longer a "Tinderella", but I used to spend my fair share of time left (and very rarely, right) swiping on the most popular dating app for Millennials, so if you're a dude who's either making a lot of matches that lead nowhere, or just not getting any matches at all, grab a pen and paper and take this advice as gospel.

People don't always say what they mean... either they say what they think we want to hear or they create a facade to make themselves look like they're something they're not. All these fronts and disguises just makes it that much harder to really get to know someone, especially someone who you may want to potentially get into a relationship with. Ladies, how many times have you been with someone you thought was perfect, and then six months down the line you ask yourself what crack you were smoking to make that kind of a decision? And let me tell you, your crack habits are completely irrelevant at this point. It has nothing to do with you at all. The guy's mask just comes off and you see someone completely different, someone you don't even recognize... You see the person behind the mask.

12 Profiles You'll See Online Dating as a Lesbian
Like many of my peers, I have a love-hate relationship with 21st century dating, mostly because I am not good at it. It is rare to meet someone in the 18-24 age bracket, especially in the gay community. Yet after swiping for a while, a lot of the candidates you see look similar. If you're a woman who uses a dating app to date other women, members of these groups will be impossible to avoid.

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.

There are literally worlds stacked upon worlds of cyber communities dedicated to virtual relationships; love at the click of a button. You've seen them all before, the Match.com commercials saying you can find "the one" in no less than a month, the story of a guy who learned his self-identity through a long-distance relationship, or the Tinder girl who got addicted to an addict, it's online dating and it's here to stay. Now, more than ever before, dating apps have grown in proportionality and prominence, what with our advances in technology, as well as our still growing globalized community.

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.

Dating has never been easy for any generation. There's been prearranged marriages that end up in tragic "Romeo and Juliet" type situations. There's been the chaperoned, "father approved" dates, so that women would be married by 17, and there was the "met in the bar, turned out he was a looney" kind of date. However, dating in the Millennial generation is increasingly difficult.
