Tinder For Oldies
I Set Tinder to Only Men Older than 30 and It Got Very Weird Very Fast. This horrible experiment of mine can be blamed on Hugh Hefner. When news of his passing hit, and social media was overrun with condemnation and praise, I found myself pondering. This man was involved with a multitude of young ladies who could’ve been his granddaughters. Method 1: Setup. Hi, you are watching VisiHow. Today we are going to show you how to install and get started with the Tinder application. For those of you who do not know, Tinder is a singles app that lets you swipe through, and decide whether or not you like, a particular person's photo. There have been various debates as to whether it is a.
Creating a bio on a dating app can be difficult. Do I tell people my height and weight? That I'm an introverted Pisces? Do I need to give my social media information and my social security number?
I never know what is too much or too little information, and typically, I tend to be a little too sarcastic and scare guys off. For example, one time, I said I was looking for an extremely serious relationship and was ready to have kids ASAP.
Yeah, I didn't get a lot of matches with that one.
If you're stuck on what to say in your dating app bio (like I am, most the time), then maybe some song lyrics will do the trick instead.
Here are five song lyrics that are perfect to use when you don't quite have the words to say in your Tinder bio.
1. 'Come On Over In My Direction. So Thankful For That, It's Such A Blessin', Yeah.'
There's no doubt that 'Despacito' by Luis Fonsi is the song of the summer, especially since it features both Daddy Yankee (hi Daddy) and Justin Bieber.
The lyrics 'come on over in my direction' can refer to swiping, and saying you're thankful for the attention and that it's a blessing creates a joking rapport between you and your match. Obviously, you are not #blessed to link up with some random on Tinder.
But once you guys start messaging, you can play around and flirt about the power dynamic: 'Actually, you should be thankful to match with me.'
Plus, posting lyrics from the song could lead to a good opener. He might ask if you've seen that viral video of Justin Bieber attempting to sing 'Despacito' in a club and flubbing all the lyrics.
Yikes.
2. 'If You Want My Body, And You Think I'm Sexy, Come On, Sugar, Let Me Know.'
'Da Ya Think I'm Sexy' by Rod Stewart is not only a song everyone knows, but it's bound to get stuck in your match's head.
Plus, it encourages him not only to swipe right, but also to let you know how he feels about you — whether it be that he thinks you're funny, hot, or have similar hobbies to him.
3. 'Every Night In My Dreams, I See You, I Feel You.'
I mean, who doesn't love the movie Titanic?
Celine Dion's 'My Heart Will Go On' was the iconic song of the '90s. There is nothing more sappy than that movie or Celine Dion romantically crooning away in this video.
Don't worry about this being too cheesy. The lyrics are overly dramatic to the point of being funny, so featuring a song like this on your profile actually indicates that you have a good sense of humor.
Plus, maybe you can make a date to actually watch the movie together!
4. 'If You Wanna Be My Lover, You Gotta Get With My Friends.'
'Wannabe' by the Spice Girls is the perfect song to feature on your profile if you're interested in threesomes.
Essentially, you're saying, 'Hey, if you wanna hook up with me, there are gonna be a few other people involved in the bedroom.'
So if you feel awkward spelling that out with words in your bio, maybe it's best to let The Spice Girls say it with their song lyrics instead.
5. 'Just One Look, And I Fell So Hard, Hard, Hard... In Love... With You.'
An oldie, but a goodie.
Since online dating involves swiping based off first impressions, these are the perfect lyrics to describe the Tinder and Bumble experience.
Essentially, if you think a guy is hot based on your profile picture, you're swiping right on him, right? Just one look, and you're falling hard.
So if you want to perfectly describe online dating using song lyrics, and you want to show off your knowledge of some cool oldies, then these are the song lyrics for you.

Almost everything sucks as you get older. Your metabolism slows down. You have three craft beers and the next morning you’re drafting up your will. You struggle to accept that the hopes and dreams you harbored growing up were too idealistic and take a job at Coldstone Creamery while you “figure things out.” Dealing with all this shit by oneself is as daunting as being the only one at the customer service tent at Fyre Festival (topical reference, good work, self!)
Tinder could give a shit about old people dying alone, indicative of their increased rates for people aged 30 and older.
The hookup app has reportedly reached a $17.3 million settlement with 230,000 California-based users aged 30+ who claim that the service charged them double what they charge the younger bucks.
Via New York Post:
The class action lawsuit, led by plaintiff Lisa Kim, arose after Kim realized in 2015 that she was paying $19.99 for Tinder Plus, which provides users with advanced features such as unlimited “likes” and a passport feature to swipe anywhere in the world. Users aged 29 and younger were paying only $9.99 per month.
Tinder For Oldies But Goodies
Tinder defended its decision to charge older users more by saying that they have more money to burn.
“During our testing we’ve learned that younger users are just as excited about Tinder Plus but are more budget constrained and need a lower price to pull the trigger,” Tinder said in 2015.

The settlement ordered Tinder to shell out 50 in-app “Super Likes” (worth $11.5 million), with the option to claim another 25, to the 230,000 oldies.
These “Super Likes” can’t be underestimated. I “Super Liked” my girlfriend while I was taking a dump, and she has since admitted that if she had not been endeared by me burning one of my three daily Super Likes on her, she would have swiped left. I would later learn that she too was taking a poop. I had previously believed that girls don’t poop. See, everything does suck as you get older.
P.S. I’m not saying BroBible deserves a piece of that settlement, but it’s impossible to downplay the role we had into thrusting this injustice into the mainstream. Check out our West Hollywood protest.
