How to Tinder

Like most single 20-somethings in San Francisco, I’m on Tinder. Primarily, it entertains me, especially when I get matches like this:

While I’ve met a couple matches in-person, real-life romance is no longer my end goal with this app. Don’t get me wrong: I think it’s a perfectly acceptable resource for matching with someone you’d like to date, hook up with, be friends with, whatever. But it’s also so, so fun to be a hilariously nonsensical troll to mostly innocent men.


Let me explain.


At first, I derived joy out of concocting random and weird things to say in response to blatantly creepy and obnoxious dudes. Exhibit A:

But, these conversations took time, and energy, and a smidgeon of creative brain power. What's a way I can fuck with Tinder dudes, without thinking much at all? I wondered. Soon, a solution was delivered to my tech-savvy thumbs like a miraculous chubby angel from the heavens. 

QuickType is a function on iPhone that suggests your next word or words for your text message. Sometimes it seems to be based on the context of the last text received, whereas other times I believe the words must be random.

My fun little Tinder game is simply this: use QuickType to rapidly and randomly create messages to send to your matches. See how they respond. And watch hilarity ensue.

I leave you with my favorite QuickType Tinder “conversations.” Note: names and photos have been altered to protect the innocent, but all interactions are real.

Note: The first message is QuickType, the rest are quick brain (i.e. words I typed with purpose using my brain vs. this machine)
