Stage 1: The Prep
You are about to embark on a journey full of snap judgments and creepy men, so prepare your body by snuggling up in a cozy place with a bag of wine by your side. The cheaper the wine, the better. This is Tinder, after all, and your life is probably in shambles anyway. Do a few thumbs stretches or CrossFit WOTDs to ensure your body is fully ready to simultaneously pass judgment and swipe steadily in the blink of an eye. Lastly, have a secure wi-fi connection ready for action, because as mothers of the future will one day tell their children, data doesn’t grow on trees. With your profile, you’ll need one knockout photo that’ll make all the boys or girls who come across it melt into giant human puddles as they get boners from the simple act of right swiping. Ladies, I suggest you use something that says, “I like to work out and show off my bone structure while mimicking a duck, but I also have a narcissistic side.” Fellas, anything that shows off doozied up muscles (read: gym selfies) or a glorified beer belly is a surefire way to any lady’s Tinderiffic heart.
Step 2: The Strategy
In order to increase the chances of meeting your soulmate or grabbing some new tail, you’ll need to stock up on suitors. Right swipe every person you encounter like you are an irrational hoarder saving for the wintertime. If you’re anything like me, after swiping for a solid seven minutes without breaking for water or snacks, you should have a plethora of desperate wooers at your disposal. Now it’s time to get the ball rolling. The best dating advice I ever received was from my pal Andy Bernard. He taught me that in order to court the opposite sex, you need to lay a hell of a pick up line on them so they know you’re fun and laid back, but also pretty sensitive. According to the Nard Dawg, a romantic “Hey.” to every single one of your matches, using the copy and paste function for efficiency, yields perfect results 60 percent of the time. Do this and sit back as your conversations explode with messages that range from exchanging dowries to exchanging nudies.
Step 3: The Stalking
Stalk the shit out of those who swooned over your dank pick up line and find out as much information as you can. Bonus points if you can figure out where he works solely based on his one to five pictures. (Ca-ching, am I right?) Judge every picture with the same gusto as God at the pearly gates. Ladies should look for men wearing nothing but wife beaters, while guys should gravitate towards girls who push their cleavage to their noses. Be on the lookout for some key personality points:
1) “Idk y my profile says 25 I’m actually 17 but graduating next year love me, plz”
2) “Follow me on Insta @bootay_boy69”
3) “Be the change you want to see in the world” – Marilyn Monroe
4) Anything with the phrase “Tinderella”
Pro Tip: If you find you’re getting messages from suitors you’re not keen on, have the phone number of that bitch you hated back in high school handy.
Step 4: The Follow Through
If one of your Tinder matches insists on “getting to know you,” lie about everything you can to make yourself look more interesting than you really are–people love that. Always, always, ALWAYS find a way to lie about your height so that when the two of you do meet in person, there will be the grand element of surprise. For example, to disguise my Amazonian height, I used pictures of me standing next to my brothers who are, like, 6 foot 8. It makes me look small and petite, when in person, I’m a monster. Also, being surrounded by boys makes you look like an in-demand whore who is easily passed around, which, according to Cosmopolitan, is hot. Who cares if you’re related to the bunch? He’ll never know. Once your future lover is all buttered up, cut the chit chat and get to the point: drinks at the local watering hole.
Step 5: The Surprise
The goal here is that your Tinder pictures were so flattering and perfect that when you walk up to your date at the bar, he or she has no idea who the hell you are. The more foreign you look, the more well received you’ll be. Start the date off with a round of tequila and end it with a round of blacking out. When your date is forced to stuff your limp body in a cab, pretend you’re on “Taxicab Confessions” and go for it. And just like that, you got laid using Tinder.
“Hey.” – Patent Pending.

If a girl messages you, pounce on her with the deftness of a tiger, and then run far, far away even faster, like a cheetah.
1. Be attractive
2. Make it a apparent who you are. Group photo is best reserved as second or third pic, unless you don’t meet step 1 (cheerleader effect, use it).
3. Make a funny bio that actually says something about yourself. No novel, no cliches, no rip grandpa (not sure why people do this).
4. Either right swipe everything (shotgun approach) or selectively scan each photo one by one. Approach varies depending on level of desperation.
5. Do not say “hey,” unless you do not care about meeting your match or not. Say something either funny AND original (no polar bears breaking ice or Tennessee quips) or a comment about their profile. Easiest way to open.
6. After a witty short exchange, ask for digits.
7. Call or text plans to get drinks.
8. “Your place or mine”
Rinse and repeat.
This is not your first rodeo, is it?
Well there’s my problem, I always skip step 1
Oooohh fuck yeah bud! I neeever thought to try this. Revelation!
Once I claimed to be a ghostbuster and showed up wearing a bill Murray face mask, absolutely worked
Step one, be good looking.
Legitimately just came across Nanner on Tinder #SwipedRight
OMG let’s have Tinder children.
Is this my cue to say “Do we have to tell them where we met”?
I deleted Tinder from my phone so dearest Homaha, we may never match. You’ll always be in my heart.
Helluva new picture for you there Nanner
Nanner for President.
Hooray! Another unfunny, unhelpful, overly sarcastic post. I love your use of the condescending tone, like you’re better than us pathetic losers who might dare to use tinder to possibly meet someone interesting. So funny that the only comment on here that’s actually concise and helpful( (from the daily grind) has the most downvotes. OMG you are so funny all the #LOLZ #justgirlythings #boxowineLOLZ #stalkerstories omg I can’t believe the way this guy is totes stalking me even though I put up 7 slutty cleavage shots guys are sooo creepy
*waits patiently for the author to come back with something they think is witty: “u mad bro??”, “I see this went straight over your head”, “whoosh”
I agree with you. I’m starting to get realllllll upset that none of the advice I follow from PGP is changing my life for the better. Hell Brian’s power moves almost got me fired. It’s like they don’t take their advice seriously
Yeah Nanner is a fuggin’ chump. This is the internet, we expect facts.
Good one fresh start, I like how I even said people would respond like this and you STILL just couldn’t resist could you. More sarcasm; YAY. Constructive comments; boo! make sure you go check your reddit account for more fake internet points!
Just because you knew a sarcastic response would come doesn’t mean your comment deserves anything more than sarcasm. I don’t come to PGP for advice, I come for sarcastic and funny commentary on the daily life of a post grad. So here’s a constructive comment- go look for real advice somewhere else and just come here for the variety of humor.
I don’t trust people who come here for advice. They’re the people who hoard all the good pens at work like their life depends on it.
You mad, bro?
Why would you come to this website for advice? I really enjoy the humor in this website and it makes my work day semi-bearable. Please don’t ruin it with reality.
Nanners: I think you and your posts are cute. This was your funniest post I loved it 🙂
You’re a peach!
