4 Things to Avoid while Using Blendr

The Blendr is advertised as the Grindr for straight people. Well, this is only partially true. While Grindr is dedicated to bringing gay people together for casual encounters Blendr is much more generic in its approach. On Blendr you can find any kind of people that have lots of interest. Some are looking for a serious relationship while others will look for casual encounters. There are also those that are just looking for a nice place to socialize and make new friends. Like every dating app, there are things that you should be aware of and avoid them if possible.


1.Be Careful with your Pictures

As it happens with every dating app out there, on Blendr your photos are the first thing that someone will see when he/she checks your profile. If they like what they see, then maybe move on and read more about you. If your photos don't seem attractive to them, they will probably move on to the next profile. There is no chance to have 100% success rate, no matter what, so don't go crazy. What you want to do is use the pictures that present you the best way possible. Never use outdated or old photos. You need to remember that your ultimate goal is meeting someone in real life and he/she will expect to meet the person they saw in your pics. If your photos are fake or old that will cause you nothing but trouble when the time to meet up comes. Also, be careful not to go full retard on your profile pics. Showing yourself in funny situations might be ok with some but be careful not to present yourselves too extreme. On the other hand is too serious in your pics might have the same result. In any case, experiment and keep updating your profile pics as often as possible.


2.Too long Profile Description

What you say on your profile is the second most important thing. If someone likes your pic, he/she will probably move on to your profile and read a bit about you before he/she likes you. You need to be precise and not too lengthy. Nobody likes reading to much. If you end up with a huge profile description, you will have many people that will turn around and move on to the next profile. The things you say about the need to give the reader the impression you want to give for yourself. And you need to do that in a short or medium-sized description. About 300 words are the maximum. Go with more than that and you will end up having very few people reading about you, even if you look like Brad Pit. Before you post it you can experiment a bit and ask for your friends or family opinion. Usually, listening to what other people have to say helps a lot.


3. Avoid Being Rude

The next thing you really need to be very careful with is your messaging. At some point, you will come in contact with someone and you will start chatting. No matter what you are looking for, you always MUST be polite. Remember that you are talking to real people. It has no difference if you are looking for a serious relationship or some casual encounter. Being polite is rule No 1 in messaging. Being Funny is always a good idea but you must never cross certain boundaries. Nobody likes rude people. Another important thing with chatting is being grammatically correct. You need to show the best part of you and that cannot be done if you cannot spell right. Auto correcting tools can be a big help if you have any troubles writing correctly what you want to say. One more thing that you need to keep in mind, is to be clear about what you want. Don't give the other members the wrong impression about your interests because you can end up in very awkward situations.


4. Keep your expectations Real

On Blendr you can find all kinds of REAL people. If you expect to hookup only with models or athletes you probably have to try another hookup app. Blendr has a huge membership database and it is full of active men and women. You need to be real about this and not pass by profiles that seem average. This way you will end up excluding the biggest percentage of the people on Blendr. Remember that the more likes you send out there, the higher chances of success you have. On the other hand, don't send a like to simply everyone just to make sure that someone will like you back. In the end, you will have to chat with a person with the purpose of meeting him/her in real life. In order for that to work, you need to be interested in each other. Just keep your expectations real, don't wait for a prince or princess to appear and sooner or later you will have the chance you are looking for.
