Man, time flies when you're having fun...not on Tinder! It has been a while since I've posted here but I have been organizing my thoughts and collection of answers and "research" from my Tinder experience. Getting the cover and the first several pages done has been a relief and I am finally creating the pages that have been visions in my minds eye for months now. Below are the first few pages of the word associations that I have received from my matches. There are plenty more that I am working on organizing in an interesting way but this first batch is certainly an interesting mix.
It's difficult for me to pick just one word that I associate with Tinder...I will have to really think about it and maybe come up with one at the end of my time with the app which will be in March. Some thoughts that I associate with it however would be the following:
-"Looking for Adventure" ( <-- the adventure thing... going to discuss this next time)
-"Does this snake around my neck make me seem more dangerous?"
-"Maybe if I don't smile in my mirror selfie I will seem mysterious."
I'm going to throw in a small section of some of my favorite bios (please note that "favorite" refers to bio's that caught my attention for any number of reasons such as it made me laugh, it made me cringe, or made me shake my head out of disgust. I will be adding these into the book in a more visually interseting way but I will leave you with the text for now.
Zachary, 24: "Girl, I wish I was the helicase enzyme so I could unzip your genes."
Luke, 26: "I am a wizard. I love the surreal. I dance until the sun greets me in the morning."
Jordan, 22: "Honestly... I think it's hilarious how many bio's list food as a must. I mean name one person who can survive without it."
Sean, 25: "Too weird to live, too rare to die."
Christopher, 23: "I'm not here to make friends."
Mason, 25: "All I need is coffee, bud, Netflix, and my puppy. It's not like I don't want a relationship it's just most likely it's just not wit you sorry"
Steven, 22: "I try to take nothing seriously except having fun!"
Ryan, 21: "Bored"
Corey, 25: "So what if you are beautiful, what else do you have to offer?"
Paul, 27: "Currently using Tinder mostly for entertainmeny purposes. Though I'm far from perfect, I am a genuinely good person. I'm looking for a girl who is worth my time. Is Tinder the place to find her? Probably not, but even a blind monkey can find a banana every once in a while!"
Feyzullah, 27: "I don't feel like I belong on tinder without a photo with an exotic animal."
Eric, 22: "Look, life's bad. Everyone's sad. We are all going to die. But I already bought this inflatable bouncy castly so are you gonna take your shows off or what?"
Fun stuff right?
