Tinder Teckers

People have two versions of themselves. It could be said that every one of us have a second self. An identical twin if you wish. But a better twin, a better version of ourselves. We have our physical self and our cyber self, whether that be on Facebook, MySpace (depending on how retro you are), Match.com or the newest of the fads, Tinder, our online persona is always; taller, thinner, smarter, funnier, sexier and the list goes on. To cut a long story short, our online self is all over more desirable, and after my ponderings over the Tinder game yesterday, it got me thinking... How we choose to package our selves up to sell to our potential mates.

What is the criteria we want to meet and want others, be that aquaentences or complete strangers, to see us, and judge us as? We all know a picture is worth a thousand words and in today's society we should also know that a picture often tells a thousand lies. So how do we strike a balance? How do we look fit, cute, intelligent, approachable and exciting all at the same time? 

I have absolutely no idea how to achieve this in one smart snap, which is perhaps being the reason Tinder offers you space for five photos; that's tactical tinder'in beb. Obviously, the next logical thing for my confused little brain to do is give you a mish-mash of imagery (definitely not chosen for Tinder) that my loving pals have papped over the years that would quite literally make me look like some craazy fool who grins alot. Guilty as charged. If anyone likes what they see, do not hesitate to contact me. However, please message me with opening lines more original than, "Hey babe". First impressions count (HA!), you have been warned.

Apparently less really is more, and maybe for the sake of my love life I should have kept some of those corkers tightly locked away from the internet, and the rest of the world, but heyhoe! What's your Tinder Tactics?
