You could wrap me in anything, and then unwrap me. Is that sexual? I'm not sure
what's going on right now, Shira. Hey! It's Shira from What's Trending.
I'm with Shan Boodram; you can check out her Facebook show Make Up or Break Up
right now, but before you do that, we're taking a look at the worst Tinder
profile photos, and it's gonna get very embarrassing and cringy. Let's get
started. You're a relationship expert, sex expert.
The key to a great Tinder profile photo? It has to feel like you look like you,
convey what it is that you want in a partner, but then also make you look like
yourself in your best light, without being too polished. I would say I shy
away from headshots as a Tinder profile photo, and then if you're gonna put a
group photo up, be the hottest person in the group or the tallest. You know what I mean?
You gotta be the "-est" person in the group. Let's take a look at these. This is Emma, 18.
I don't even know where you are, Emma. Yeah. Maybe there's 18 of them? That's
what they're really trying to signify here. There's more than 18. Well, that
there's 18 that we would like for you to choose from.
Emma 18. The 18 Emma's. This is gonna be for any guy, this will be one lucky guy
who's gonna be able to hook up with all these hot chicks. Let's just say that
Emma #6 isn't a real pain in the booty girl. There's always one of them. In
a group of girls, there's one catty b*tch that you do not want to date. Emma #6.
But like I don't even know, it's like... This is like a Where's Waldo photo. I
think that this is intriguing though. This is a thing with Tinder profiles.
There's cringy and there's intriguing. So, sometimes like there was somebody I
swiped on once, that had a picture of like the back of his boot, like just the heel of
his boot, and I'm like 'who is this person?That's so weird.' And I'm intrigued. This
might be intriguing. Wait. This is a sorority girl, right? Or she goes to
camp or something? Like, basically, this is like baggage. Like, if I date you, this is
what you come with. All these annoying chicks. Okay. Daniel (28) with a peacock. Is
that a peacock? I don't know... What kind of animal is that? It's an emu I'm being told. Sorry, I
don't know my animals that well. Is emu the birth of emo? Is that where that came
from? I have no idea. Alright. Daniel's in a kitchen. It's a pretty
decent kitchen. I mean, it shows that like this isn't like a studio
apartment, but it could be someone else's kitchen. Uh, I don't know. This is an
adventurous guy. I'm intrigued. I'm gonna swipe for sure left. Which means
left for no. Left is no. Right is a yes. I'm going to say no
to this, and I do think this is taking the whole animals and dudes thing to
another level. He's trying to outdo it. It used to be Tigers. Remember they all had the
tiger photos? Okay. And then it evolved to like penguins and other strange
birds, and then now he's up'd the game, so maybe this guy's a go-getter. It's trying
to signify something deeper, but his dishes don't match which makes me
feel like 'you ain't got it together yet, boo.' What is going on? Yeah. That's
interesting. I mean, I'm not attracted to him, but I like his sense of adventure.
You don't think he's attractive? I think he's attractive. And he is
taller than the emu which let's you know. Okay. Emma (19). I love this! Memes on memes
on memes. It's very meta. Uh, loves cats, so if you are a cat hater you won't like this
chick obviously, or if you're allergic -- might not work out. Maybe a one night
stand, obviously, but she looks... I think she's very pretty,
festive, and I love the cat thing. Like they love each other, which means she
might not have time for you. This is a great photo, 'cause it tells you a lot
about this person in one quick snapshot, and so, yes, while the quantity
of askers may be less, the quality, I think, will be more suited to the kind of
partner she's looking for, because I wouldn't even put up a picture in front
of a Christmas tree -- I'm not that kind of person -- but this lets me know that you're
like, I'm in Wyoming for Christmas, probably for the entire month, because
you guys build your own tree or whatever. But this just tells you a lot about the
person, so I think it's really, really good. Yeah. I mean, I think it's cute,
however, also signals to me like "crazy girl" type. Like, she's gonna be like
making you wear matching sweaters every Christmas, you're gonna have to wear, I
don't know, matching Halloween costumes... But this is someone's fantasy right now you're
describing. Your're like: yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. So they'll swipe? All the matching sweaters! All of
them. Okay, Ryan (30). Is this from the Renaissance Fair? Where I know what
happens at the Ren Fair... You know who's a great match? Cat lady
and Ryan. No. She wants more of an All-American type. He is not All-American. He is
All-American. He has a regular job; this is just for the fair that he does this. He's on the edge. He's
festive as well. He's a team leader, party starter, also see
bacon enthusiastic -- enthusiast -- beer grower, semi-professional high fiver. I
mean, Ryan is a cool dude. He's a guy you want to hang with, party
with. He's a good friend. He seems like a loyal guy. 6'3". Yeah. That's a tall man! He
wants to let you know that things have grown. Things grew well. He'll put you
on his shoulders at concerts and in swimming pools, which means you know what he's
gonna do. He's gonna -- he's one of those that'll pick you up in bed, you know? Yeah.
Like he's going to throwing you around. This guy, I don't even know what his name is, but
he's, I don't know, overcompensating. You're gonna put your picture of
yourself touching booty? I don't know, I'm not attracted to this. It's like, 'Oh. Check
me out. I'm really cool.' 'Cause I would hate this guy in real life, but if I were
actually at this establishment and I saw someone taking this photo I'd be like, 'Oh
my gosh. What a d-bag.' So, I don't like him online, but again like I think that you
get -- you know what you're buying into. This guy's not tricking anybody. He's letting
you really, really know what his priorities are. He's the type of guy
that gets wasted, and then throws up on you in the Uber. Yeah, for sure. But you
paid for it. Yes, and then they call you... by Yeah.
Brandon (26). "My dumbass parents gave me a boy's name, but call me 'Apples.' I can fit
an entire apple in my mouth. What more do you need to know?
Oh, and my favorite letter is 'D.'" Talk about subtlety. Yeah. And then you're climbing a
tree. It's a lot. It's a lot to ingest (pun intended)
in this photo. I'm not picking it up, I'm putting it down. But, I also acknowledge
that many people would pick this up. Yeah, for sex. This is an over post.
Like you're -- it's because of people like Brandon or 'Apple,' that create an
idea for Tinder, like everyone's on Tinder just to f*ck.
It's because like it's obvious, yes, you want a big c*ck in your mouth. I get it.
You want to ride someone like a tree. I get it. Can you be more metaphorical? Oh, I
didn't get your tree one, though, so there you go. Rachel (20). "TBH I just want to get some
some free Chipotle out of this." Funny, witty. I just gotta like, ask, like you're just
on this to collect funny stories to tell your friends?
You're really not looking for love or you're not looking for an amazing sexual
experience. You're genuinely on it, like I'm gonna attract the weirdest people
possible, so that I can write in my diary, or go out for brunch and make fun of this
date that I went on, but you attracted this ridiculous date with this
ridiculous photo. Vincent (29). Alright, "I'm looking for a girl who is super mean.
She also has to be really clingy and jealous. I prefer a woman who talk a lot about
their ex, and I love for da booty-liciousness. In my free time, I like to
take off my shirt and take selfies. I'm super in shape
thanks to my strict diet of Mountain Dew and Twizzlers.
We're a Twizzler family. Red Vines have no place in my home. I work nights
fighting crime -- I'm not saying I'm Batman -- but I'm saying no one has seen the
Riddler in Austin, Texas." Wow, okay. You are funny, but you're trying really
hard. I feel like we've been baited right now. I feel like these people
specifically made profiles that other people would make videos about bad
profiles and include their profile. Probably. It doesn't feel like you're
actually trying to be on Tinder. This is exactly -- this is what you wanted. Very
poetic -- I mean, you're a good writer, I just would like to see your creativity used
in another way. And I can't see your face, which is important. Yeah, I can see it.
He's like... I don't know. I think it could've -- it's backlit as well -- which is
making it difficult. And this makes me feel like we'd go on a date and you'd be
like, 'uh,' like you, you act like you're all outgoing, but like when I meet you you'd
be kind of like shy and not know what to do. Yeah, because this was like three days of
writing, with the help of a thesaurus. Jesus (21). "Actually several thousand years old
idk why is says 21 lol. Downside: I've only been nailed once. Upside: I would die
for you, so you know I'm committed. Also, my dad is a pretty big deal. He always
beats me in dreidel. Swipe right if you need some Jesus in you."
Okay. A million bucks you're not the first person to do this. Yeah. So, not unique.
"My anthem is "Carry On," or "Jesus Take the Wheel." It's tacky, but at the same
time, I'm also like concerned. Did Swedish Fish sponsor this experience
again? Have we been baited once again? And
vitamin water. And vitamin water! Like it's all some ploy to get us to talk
about your ridiculous profile, so you can get free advertising? I'm not quite sure,
because you're clearly not putting your push your fish in the water -- your hook in
the water -- trying to catch a real fish. We're gonna go with that one. You
went somewhere. I went somewhere! Floor (33). Floor at under women's feet?
That doesn't sound like English. "I will pay you to walk all over me. $60 and up.
All shapes and sizes. Doubles are welcome. Yes, I am serious." A lot of exclamation
points... Okay. This is a specific type of interest. Yeah. Obviously he's into the
S&M fetish stuff, and he puts it out there, which I respect. I think it's great.
I think -- 'cause think about this -- like 10 years ago, where would this person go to
advertise? They would go to classifieds, but there'd be less spaces for them to
say, 'this is my interest, this is my arousal pattern, I know what I'm looking
for,' and to be honest about that. So Tinder offers a platform for people like
this to get their jollies off. I guess moral of the story is, there's no real
wrong way to do a Tinder profile. Just about what you're trying to catch out
there, but just be really clear that your picture is a very good indicator of the
kind of person who's gonna swipe. And if you wanted me or Shira; if you want
Shira, put a cat photo on -- I'm allergic to cats --
you don't want a cat? Okay. I just thought it was cute, you know? I've actually
never been on Tinder because I've always been dating. Oh wow.
Yeah I didn't go I didn't grow up at a time, Tinder.
Maybe you and Bart take a happy couple's photo and brag about how
awesome your relationship is, and put it on Tinder. Then you could have been on
Tinder, without having to actually go on dates. Well, that was a look at some of the
worst Tinder profiles out there. I'm sure there are more, and let us know in the
COMMENTS if you want us to do a second part of this. Submit your own photo,
perhaps? Yeah! Tweet us @WhatsTrending with some of the worst Tinder
profile photos that you've seen, and perhaps we'll make it into another video.
