Opinion: The terrible Taranaki men of Tinder

Some of the men on Tinder are atrocious, say Emma Helleur.

If you've been in a happy and committed relationship for the last six years, then congratulations. You've never had to deal with the atrocities of Tinder.

Tinder is a collection of the most interesting people in your city. Let me introduce you to the Taranaki men of Tinder.

There's the ridiculously attractive Dave (but there's a good chance that he's a catfish, surely an underwear model with an eight pack doesn't live in Inglewood?).

Then there's Chad. His Monster Energy cap is on backwards and you can see the barbed wire tattoo popping out from under his stained Jim Beam t-shirt.

Now we've got Jack. For some reason all of Jack's photos are of his Toyota Corolla.

Apparently we don't need to see his face to make a swipe right decision OR is Jack actually a Toyota Corolla? We might never know.

A swipe left brings us to Will. Will has at least five photos of himself. Unfortunately every photo also contains a super cute and fluffy dead animal. We get it, you hunt.

Mark is up next. Mark has photos that are of him! There are no cars, no dead animals.

Unfortunately the photos are just three different super close up images of the left part of his face. Do you have a body Mark? Is there any more to you than half a lip and an eye?

We've made it to Adam. There's heaps of photos of Adam, and in every single on he's playing a different sport. I didn't even know there were that many sports! It's great you're active, but I also like to Netflix and couch sometimes!

Last but not least, Caleb. It's because of Caleb that I simply cannot trust anyone who says they're self-employed or a CEO on Tinder. I am convinced that 78 per cent of men on Tinder who claim to be 'self-employed' are definitely unemployed or… ... you know…..….*cough* drug dealer *cough*.

Tinder is a place on the internet I pray you never find yourself. But as I am single, so very single, I will continue to try to navigate through the Jacks, Wills, Adams, Calebs, Marks, Chads and Daves and hope for a Prince Charming.
