I connected with him on Tinder on Sunday because A his first photo had dogs in it and B his bio emphasized being imperfect. I once created an OkCupid account only for guys to message me about their wounds for research purposes, as vulnerability is a subject that I am really interested in. Turns out, these Tinder messages were some of the most interesting I got! One man told me that when he looks at my photos, he doesn't see a girl, but an artist! Another said that despite what you might think, he isn't just some random guy, but that he enjoys reading philosophy books after playing video games for so long. It's true that most guys I meet online are pretty open about themselves, which is why I think Tinder is such a great tool for introverts like myself to get out there and have some fun. Tinder works by users creating profiles with information about themselves. They can include a photo, some writing, any videos they may have on YouTube or Vimeo, and possibly some music links. Other users can then "like" your profile, which indicates that you would like to chat with this person. If they like yours too, the two of you will be able to chat directly via the app. Users can set their own rules for who can like them, so if you don't want everyone you've ever met to be able to like you, make sure not to add anyone from your phone book. This feature is called "blocking".
