NEWS… BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT
Some people are absolute pros on Tinder.
Their bio is funny but not too much, and they match everyone they swipe right on themselves.
It’s all a numbers game at the end of the day, but some people are doing serious numbers indeed.
Tinder has announced their most right-swiped daters, and brought them in for a photoshoot for Cosmopolitan to show the world what all the fuss is about.
By the looks of things the hilarious bio doesn’t seem to matter too much, as plenty of these Tinder pros have nothing in there at all.
A big turn of for these lot is the topless selfie and the dreaded gap-yah-sedated-tiger pic, as well as sunglasses and Snapchat filters in your shots.
Check out Tinder’s finest. You never know, you might have swiped right for them already.
