How to Talk to Women on Tinder

The reality is, men are expected to make the first move on Tinder, which means starting the convo, and also keeping it going. Here's how:

1) Say hello. No pickup lines. No compliments right off the bat. Just a "hey, how are you today".

2) Ask questions. What does she do? What are her hobbies/interests? Is she a health freak? Is she a social butterfly? But please stay away from the "what are you doing on Tinder question, it makes them think that you're either just wanting to get laid or get married in a week. Point is, don't do all the talking.

3) Flirt. Once the small talk is over with, show off your funny/flirty side ASAP. You don't want to bore her and making a woman laugh is always a bonus.

#TinderFails

When you're on Tinder (or any other dating site/app), you're bound to receive some ridiculous, rude, and very disturbing messages. Trick is 1- don't even waste your time replying 2- don't lose hope they're not all like that and 3- if you are that person who sends these immature pickup lines, stop now, they are not going to get you anywhere, and you have issues.....

                             

This would in no case qualify as a decent conversation starter. Clearly, life IS f*cking you in the ass BIG TIME.

  

Lol this is just pretty funny/awkward.

How to Know You're Dating a Keeper

Enough with the "good guys/girls don't exist anymore" mentality. Often, I feel the issue is more just with people's eyeglasses' prescriptions because they just can't seem to see what's right in front of them, or... they just "enjoy the chase" too much and still act like 16 year olds. Well how about you end the "Hide and Seek" emotional-wrecking games, stop chasing after the bad boys/girls who are clearly just playin', and start realizing when you've landed "a keeper". How, you ask?

Well it's pretty f*cking simple and obvious:

1) They don't play ANY of these mind games.

2) They don't cancel last minute, and they arrive on time. This shows interest and seriousness. If you wouldn't arrive late for a job interview, why would you for a date?

These Identical Twins Share the Same Boyfriend

This is pretty intense.

Claimed to be the world's "most identical twins" (big thanks to $250k in plastic surgery), Lucy and Anna DeCinque, 28, do literally EVERYTHING together, down to drinking the same amount of glasses of water in order for their bodies to look exactly the same.

What It's Really Like To Be In a Relationship In Your 20s

According to Statistics Canada, in 2008, the average age at first marriage for men was 31 years and for women 29 years, while in the 1980s and early 1990s, the age at first marriage was around 26 for men and 24 for women (Statistics Canada, 2011). 

It's definitely a trend that can't be ignored: people are getting married later than ever before. Also, most people in their 20s are either just dating around or as they say: "enjoying the single life". I put quotations around that because I find that young people nowadays have almost been forced to have a mentality of "enjoying" the single life. More and more we hear about young people "not being ready" or "not rushing into anything" or "being afraid they're going to miss out". I get it, and 2 years ago I was thinking all of those things. I strongly believed and advocated that your 20s were meant for you to live life, travel, party, and basically not be "tied down" so that in your late 20s and early 30s you would be fully ready to commit.
....LOL 
Well let's say I definitely NEVER expected, 2 years ago, to be where I'm at today: owning a house with my boyfriend, having 3 dogs, and seriously seeing myself being engaged within the next few years. Ask any of my friends, and I guarantee they will say that they never saw any of that coming for me either.

I say stop telling yourself that your 20s are meant to be single. You're making it sound like being in a relationship is a bad thing, when really it could be the best thing that happens in your life.
Stop making it sound like you won't be able to live life; being in a relationship is not some sort of prison.
And stop being afraid to miss out on the "single life", when what you should really be afraid to miss out on is the love of your life.

To clear up a few stereotypes and misconceptions about being in a serious relationship in your 20s, here's what it's ACTUALLY like:

When You're Single: 7 Questions to Ask on a First Date

*Warning: must be mature to understand the following concepts*

I see first dates as a sort of interview. The goal is to find out more about the person and see if you click. If you're serious and you're looking for a relationship, your questions should show that, and you should be able to engage in deeper conversations rather than stick to the surface basics. If you've had enough of the dating BS that's happening nowadays, then stop asking BS questions and start being straightforward. Here are some good examples of some tougher questions that will actually be useful:

1) Ask more details about what they do in life. You most likely already know what their job is, but ask more detailed questions about their schedules, hours, and travel requirements in order to figure out where and how you would fit in the person's life.

10 Relationship Myths

You've either heard of these somewhere, or seen them in pretty much every romance movie ever made. Well, get them out of your head ASAP because if you still believe in these, you're in need of a big dose of reality.

1) "Opposites attract" I truly believe the more similarities and things in common the better. Really the only exceptions I could see is with regards to certain personality traits, ex: a patient person with a not-so-patient person. 

2) "Make-up sex" It's great, but it definitely doesn't happen every time, and even less right after a fight. Most of the time I'd say people are too pissed off to even to think about it, and personally I don't find fighting to be such a great turn on.
