Dating apps are equally fun and exhausting. While there are people who met the one and swiped right for life, there are some who are still scavenging apps for true love (or hook-ups) which feels like searching for a needle in the haystack.

Whether or not you end up finding what you are looking for, you do meet some crazy people on these apps. I won’t lie, while I have dated a couple of guys and met some really good friends (things don’t always work out romantically), I have blocked some super weird guys too. The spectrum of personalities you come across on online dating platforms is that broad.

To give you a quick glimpse of the world, here are 10 types of dudes that every woman has met on dating apps. If you have not met them, you are probably one of them.

1. The Gym Freak

One look at their profile and you know your first date would be an intense physical activity (not the one you were hoping for) like hiking or a bike ride. His photos mostly feature gym selfies with his naked torso that show off his six-pack abs. 

2. Here For The ‘Gram

The guy who’s there to connect on Instagram and increase his followers. You never hear from him again after you add him on Insta and end up deleting him after a while.  

3. Mr. Right

He has a funny bio, nice photos and seems genuine when you talk to him. What’s the catch? Well, he might be the one or you may find out he is catfishing. It can be either of the two. Guess, you will only find out on the date.

4. The ‘D*ck’

Why I have a certain name for this category is because either their profile has a d*ck pic or they would send you one after you’ve matched.  

5. The Cling

He would seem okayish but as you keep on chatting, you realise he is a total creep. He will bombard you with “Hey dear.” “Why you no reply me?” “Good morning” “U der?” And, that’s exactly your cue to unmatch.

6. The Traveller

His profile looks like a catalogue for holiday destinations and he would boast about his travel bucket list that he wants to tick off.

7. The Family Guy

He would have photos with friends and family and at first it would be hard to make out who among the clan is the owner of the profile. 

8. The Hollow

His profile would be as empty as your life. He'll have one blurred selfie or a photo of a guitar. You will find nothing except his name and would most probably think if he’s a secret agent of RAW.    

9. The Pet Dad 

He would have pictures with his dog/cat/parrot/tortoise and would come across as a caring person. Damn, we always fall for such guys.

10. The ‘Shashi Tharoor’

He uses big, fancy (scary sometimes) words out of the Oxford dictionary in his bio but when you talk to him, he is either exceptionally basic or says things like “I didn’t knew you are passed away from my school.”
