The 5 Kinds Of Guys You'll Find On Dating Apps


Oh, dating apps.  Tinder, OkCupid, Plenty of Fish, Bumble, Facebook Dating... the list goes on.  In a world where mask-wearing is the norm and meeting someone at a bar or the grocery store is practically impossible because of social distancing, dating apps have become the go-to way to find a date. Before you create your profile, be prepared to find one- or all- of these types of guys on the app.

1.  The Creeper

He slides into your DM's with a subtle "hey" at first.  When you don't respond, he messages you again two days later.  This time he's more forceful and poses a question, such as, "How's it going?" or "Any exciting plans for the weekend?".  When you still don't respond, he really starts turning into a creeper and blows up your DM's with random, pointless, even downright rude comments until you finally block him.  Phew...dodged a bullet with that one.

2.  The Too-Nice Guy

This is the guy who has a serious case of low-self esteem so he tries to overcompensate by being incredibly nice to you.  We all know that nice guys finish last, so this guy isn't getting anywhere with most of us.  If he builds up a little confidence and keeps that nice personality of his, he'll find his dream girl eventually.  Right now, he ain't it, though.

3. The Dom

We've all had one of these pop into our DM's.  He's taken "50 Shades of Grey" quite literally and thinks all women want to be submissive to their man.  I mean, some of us do enjoy that stuff in the bedroom, but the last thing we want to hear as a first greeting from a guy is whether or not we like wearing nipple clamps.  How about you ask my favorite color first?  And no, it's not red.

4.  The Two-Monther

This guy can actually hold a conversation, so you give him your number after talking on the dating app for a few days.  You eventually meet out and have a great time.  You see a lot of potential with this one, but then he starts slowly ghosting you.  You wonder if there's something wrong with you, but then eventually realize that this is his pattern.  He meets girls online, dates them for a few months, and then ghosts them and moves on to someone else.  Beware of this one, ladies.  He'll sell you on a future only to waste your valuable time and leave you with nothing but a lesson.

5.  The Unicorn

The one we've all been waiting for...the unicorn of dating apps.  He's attractive, has a good job, doesn't have a ton of baggage, and can actually hold an intelligent conversation.  He's almost too good to be true so you might shy away at first, frightened that he'll turn into another two-monther.  And then he doesn't.  He's actually who he says he is, and he sticks around.  This, my friends, is the one you wait for.  Guard your heart until you find him because I promise you, he's out there somewhere.  He just might need to get divorced first. 😏

What I Want Women To Know About Staying Safe On Dating Apps

I recently read a heartbreaking story about a woman who was murdered by a man she met on a dating app, and it made me stop and think about how safe dating apps actually are. While it certainly seems to be the way to meet people nowadays, there are some pretty important steps that should be followed in order to avoid finding yourself in a potentially dangerous situation. Don't ignore the red flags. Listen to your gut.  If something doesn't feel right, it probably isn't.  No one is perfect, and there will undoubtedly be some differences between you and the man you're talking to online, but if you find yourself making excuses for his behavior and chalking it up to him "just being excited" or thinking "maybe he'll be normal in person", think twice about the excuses  you're making for him and whether or not they are actually valid. If he's pushy on the phone, it's going to be even worse in person. Everyone is on their best behavior when yo...

Can People Really Change?

Can people really change? If you had asked me that question a year ago, I would have said absolutely not. That's why I got a divorce- because I thought things would never change. My mindset has completely shifted on this topic recently because of the own changes I've made in my life. I saw that I, myself, could change...so if I can do it, anyone can do it. The trick is, though, you have to want to change. No one can do the changing for you. And once you want it, you have to keep wanting it, because you will constantly have to check yourself to ensure you're not going back to your old ways. It gets easier with time. As you adopt those changes and apply them daily, your new way of doing things starts overtaking the old ways. But there are still going to be times when challenges pop up and you have to stay committed to acting in a way that aligns with the positive changes you've made in your life. It's been drilled into us that people don't change. Who you are is w...

5 Ways To Make Money From Home That Are Legit

Long before I became a single mom, I was a stay-at-home-mom. While my then-husband supported us, I was constantly trying to find ways to help with the household expenses. I did years of Google searches, which often led to wasted hours signing up for survey companies or get-rich-fast schemes that left me with nothing but an inbox full of spam emails. I did have some success, though, and I'd like to share those successes with you in hopes that it helps other moms struggling to make ends meet or trying to find a way to feel like they're contributing financially to the household (even though trust me  stay-at-home-mama's, I know you've got the hardest job around). So, without further ado, here are 5 ways I've made money working from home- some of which I'm still doing 6 years later. 1. Textbroker This is the top dog for me because it's how I supplement my income from working at a school. I've been a Textbroker  author for 6 years and I really enj...
