10 x types on Tinder

Tinder may soon come with a blind date feature, but you can still be judged purely on appearance. on outward appearance. This is quite handy for men like Simon Leviev, who are nowhere without their ‘successful’ photos and are most likely not looking for a deeper connection. By the way, I bet all the types below on Tinder are not looking for that.

1. The vain fitboy
This profile usually consists of many photos of the man without a shirt and with a six-pack, often taken in the bathroom mirror or of course in the gym locker room. Usually, these photos look quite awkward and forced, as these people are trying very hard to flex everything for the photo. The description probably states that fitness is his life, so I fear that eating dessert with this compulsive sporty figure is not an option.

2. The nonchalant figure
This figure has created a Tinder profile but doesn't take it very seriously. He only has group photos with friends, making it completely unclear who you are actually talking to. It doesn't go beyond a conversation on the app, as this type finds it all a bit of a hassle.

3. The creep
This creep is swiping non-stop and will copy and paste his standard opening line to everyone he matches with. ‘With whom do I have the pleasure?’ or: ‘What is someone like you doing on this app?’ These are the best icebreakers he comes up with. Then, after three sentences, he is completely enchanted by you; this type doesn't let go easily and sends the next message before you have even had a chance to respond. Make sure to get away as quickly as possible when someone starts responding to his own messages.

4. The jet-set type
There he is: the Tinder Swindler aka Simon Leviev. You always wonder how on earth these people can only fly in private jets and vacation on large yachts. Personally, I find these the most disgusting types, but as we have seen in the documentary, it also attracts quite a few people. On the first date, you will probably already go on vacation together. Golden tip: do not transfer money to this type.

5. The catfish
Well, unfortunately, we sometimes have those. Of course, you always post the best version of yourself online, but some people are unrecognizable in real life. All those filters don't always work in people's favor. Often, these people seem too perfect to be true from the start. If it only stays at chatting, it's not a disaster, but once you plan to meet, it really is more convenient to post a few realistic photos online.

6. The cheater
We all know very well that this man is simply taken, yet that Tinder profile is always active. This figure is not to be trusted at all, and it seems like everyone knows that except the partner in question: quite sad. You should definitely not get involved with this one.

7. The sleazebag
Some people on Tinder only want one thing: sex. And you can approach that subtly, but you can also approach it in the least subtle way possible. This type does not take a subtle approach at all and throws out the most awkward and dirty messages. Straightforwardly, they ask if you could send a photo of yourself. Yuck.

8. The ‘hard to get’ type
This type only likes but will never send a message themselves. Having a conversation with this match goes quite stiffly. You almost start to wonder what this figure is actually doing on Tinder. Only answering and not asking a single question; you get nothing from this.

9. The clown
This jovial figure sends you the funniest messages. You probably laugh out loud at the way too bad opening line, which is still quite spot on and funny. With a big smile on your face, you have the most entertaining conversations. Nine times out of ten, this doesn't lead to a romance, but you prefer to become friends with each other. Also quite nice, right?

10. The airhead
Cringe-worthy: all the messages full of language mistakes that you receive from this type. So handsome in all the photos, but oh so dumb in a conversation. Someone who bothers you on Tinder with all sorts of weird conspiracy theories. You can do very little with this, at least not talk.
