    You may be scouring all the dating apps out there only to end up with zero matches. Zilch. Nothing. No, nothing is wrong with you. Let’s get that out of the way first. Before you blame the algorithm, there is another possibility why the dating apps never seem to work for you. There could be something wrong with the way your profile looks.

    Take it from a woman who has used dating apps and been a subject to cringeworthy profiles a lot of times. I don’t wish that for you so let’s fix your dating problem by fixing  your dating profile. Here are 5 reasons that are keeping you from getting a match on a dating app and how you can fix it.

    1. You have a boring bio or you’re trying too hard © Twitter
    An uninteresting bio is as off-putting to women as one that seems like you are trying too hard. Even if your profile picture is killer, your bio can mess it up for you. When a girl comes across your profile, she doesn’t want to read quotes that she can find on Google or worse, behind a truck. Avoid things like ‘My motto is live, laugh and love’. Keep your bio short, crisp and original or make something up that is funny but tells something about you.

    I’ll let you in on a secret. A girl can tell a lot about a guy and his personality just by looking at the pictures he puts. Nothing makes her swipe left faster than a shirtless selfie or a childhood photo of you (that belongs in your family photo album). Gym photos are complete no-no, even if you have a smokin’ body. It doesn’t hurt to be subtle about your hotness, especially on a dating app. Instead, put aesthetic SOLO photos of you, maybe some travel pictures or just you in your element that don’t come off as trying too hard.

    Putting only a couple photos when you can add five or six and missing out on information about you like passions and interests or things that could give her a sneak peak on what she’s swiping right to, is the most common mistake guys make. In other words, it is the first step to a lifetime of singlehood. An half-assy profile would make her think you don’t use the app much, aren’t active or uninterested and rest assured, she won’t bother. 

    4. You are sticking to the cliches  © Instagram
    For Hinge and Bumble users, you have a great opportunity to get creative with questions. However, guys often stick to the cliches like ‘unpopular opinion: pineapple on pizza’ or ‘together we could: Netflix & Chill’. Also, steer clear of vague answers like ‘I know best places in town for: Brunch’. Be witty, random and specific to make your profile as personal as you can. That, my friend, is what will pique her interest in knowing more about you. 

    5. You have a snobbish or negative profile © iStock
    Women like men who are chill, sweet and positive. I mean, we need someone to deal with our random mood swings, not walk away and tell us off. A lot of guys try to play hard or seem cool by choosing prompts like ‘don’t swipe right if…’ or ‘You should *not* go out with me if’ and answering them with even snobbing things. You are only making her run, instead of drawing her into having a conversation with you.

    Remember that on most dating apps, men outnumber women and the chances of you standing out in her ‘new matches’ section is all that matters. Good luck!

    Human beings can be weird, and find some of the most bizarre things vastly interesting. A case in point would be, how some people just love and adore serial killers.

    Now, finding serial killers intriguing and fascinating isn’t that big a deal or problematic so to say. However, there are people who actually call themselves fans of certain notorious serial killers. Heck, there are a number of fan groups on Facebook and Instagram, that are dedicated to certain notorious murderers.

    Here are some of the most prominent serial killers who have their own fan-clubs and groupies.

    Ted Bundy © Reuters
    Ted Bundy remains to be one of the most sinister serial killers of all times. He also happens to be one of the most charming one, as per his fans. He has had several fan groups over the years, with the most notorious one being called, The Bundyphilles, who actively lobbied for him to be released.

    Richard Ramirez © AFP
    Dubbed as the Valley Intruder as well as the Night Stalker, Ramirez had killed over 13 people, and sexually assaulted at least a dozen more, including children. That does not mean that he did not have his share of fans. Most of his fans believed that he was being entrapped because of his Latin-American ancestry. He married one of his fans, Doreen Lioy, while he was awaiting his execution. During their courtship, which began when Ramirez was in prison, Lioy wrote about 75 letters to him.

    The Zodiac Killer © Paramount Pictures
    To this day, nobody knows for sure who the Zodiac Killer is. Perhaps that is why the serial killer remains to be one of the most popular urban legends in San Francisco. Jake Gyllenhal & Robert Downey Jr. played journalists in a movie about the serial killer. The Zodiac Killer had a great number of fans who would often call up radio & TV news stations discussing him, and confess their love for him. All this, without even knowing who the person was.

    Aileen Wuornos © AFP
    Aileen Wuornos was a *** worker who was arrested and convicted for murdering 7 young boys. Her trial received a lot of media attention, which ultimately painted her as the victim of a series of unfortunate events, which led her to act out. Although she was executed, she left behind a number of fan clubs that are operational to this day.

    Jeffrey Dahmer © AFP
    Jeffrey Dahmer, again, was a serial killer who targeted young boys. Many of his murders involved sexual assault, necrophilia, and cannibalism. His appeal, sort of went international. Imagine being a convicted American serial killer with a fan club, based out of Glasgow, named McDahmer’s. Well, that’s what happened with him. Anyway, Dahmer was beaten to death by a prison-mate.

    Charles Sobhraj © BCCL
    Finally, there’s Charles Sobhraj. There are several urban legends surrounding the man and his charm, about how he would often entrap his victims with his charm and his ability to smooth talk. Charles had a number of fan clubs in India, Thailand, Nepal, and France, all countries where he was a wanted man. Heck, he even got married to Nihita Biswas the daughter of his lawyer, who, in her own words, was charmed by his personality. At the time of his marriage, he was 64, while she was 21. Go figure.

    The bottom line…As we said, human beings can be very weird. It is actually very interesting to see, why people such as Bundy & Shobhraj become cult personalities and draw people near, almost to the point where their fans start vehemently denying their crimes. Nonetheless, making superstars out of such people isn’t exactly wise.

    There exist certain cultural influences that promote an unhealthy masculinity among all boys and men. The archaic notion that men are supposed to be unidimensional, emotionless automatons has been well noted for generations.
    From our fathers (and their fathers) to our classmates, colleagues and friends. We’ve all witnessed certain men obsessed with the idea that certain traits like ‘Toughness’, ‘Antifemininity’ and ‘Social Dominance’ coupled with amped up doses of aggression are the ideals all men must live by to truly be masculine. 
    Here are a few accounts of men and the impact of toxic masculinity on them:

    As a cultural preset, toxic masculinity has long dictated men to behave a certain way lest their ‘man card’ be revoked. The incessant need to act tough and avoid expressions of vulnerability hollows out men from the inside in the long term. The psychological and social impact of toxic masculinity on men is far too grave to be ignored.
