The greatest invention in romance since condoms, dating apps are pure efficiency: thousands of women, no long profiles to read, no grammar mistakes to harrumph over, nothing but the essentials: picture, age, first name, and a fortune cookie. If you're interested only in hook-ups, there's a mathematical strategy for maximising hits: Swipe right for everyone. This works when you think about dating the way a shark thinks about eating. But if you're looking for love - or simply good company - you're in for "Hot or Not?" the video game. And, like any gamer, you need a winning strategy.
WHEN YOU'RE LOOKING FOR A SITE TO GET SEXY ON
YOU THINK: All single women are on Tinder and variety is my ally.
SHE THINKS: Tinder is a Greyhound bus full of slobbering old men.
TRY THIS: Stop carpet bombing; investigate surgical strikes. Women give high marks to Bumble, the "lady first" app, for safety features that chase away twitchers, droolers, and stalkers. Or check out Bristlr, for women who like men who grow beards. Every kink has its fan base.
WHEN YOU'RE SETTING UP YOUR PROFILE
YOU THINK: I rock a six-pack in my mirror selfie, I'll post that.
SHE THINKS: This dude has no friends. Also, no job.
