Tinder Plus Has Landed! We’ve Rounded Up The Male Wonders Of The Tinder World

Tired of British Men? You're in luck as Tinder Plus now let's you swipe the whole globe to bag a friend with benefits from any country which takes your fancy. Depending on what you're looking for, here's where you could be heading...

We all know how sexy a holiday hook up is. You're in joyful jetsetting mode, you're relaxed in the knowledge you won't have to see them again if you the fancy doesn't take you, and most of all, they're probably looking sunkissed and might even be wearing a vest. But now, thanks to Tinder Plus's new premium functionality you can not only revist those you have rejected and left-swiped, but the “passport” option also allows you to spark a foreign affair from the comfort of your pyjamas. But be warned; Tindering abroad could lead you to losers as well as love. To help speed up a fit match, we’ve rounded up the male wonders of the Tinder world, from Paris to Reykjavik, Austin to Beirut. May the swipe be with you!

The Most Interesting Man In The World

HOW TO IDENTIFY: This guy has tackled every adventure life has to offer and he’s documented it all by selfie! From surfing the killer wave in Indonesia to arm-wrestling the Dalai Lama, walking the rim of Lanzarote and, of course, shredding the powder at Björkliden, this man’s go-to hashtag is #chilllivin. No ho-hum bicep-selfie, tattoo-selfie, outdoor-selfie (for every climate cliché), luxury-car-selfie, or suit-and-tie-selfie can compete. Warning: This guy tends to have a penchant for backside shots in the buff, usually with an ensemble cast of anonymous mates showing full rears. Don’t forget to screen grab before you swipe!

SWIPE RIGHT: If you want to become his Instagram groupie.

YOU'LL FIND HIM IN: Bali, Reykjavik, Rio and Sydney

The Not So “Deep” Thinker

HOW TO IDENTIFY: This gem quotes famous people in his bio so you know just how smart he is. From Oscar Wilde to Letter to a Young Poet, and onto “I say what I mean, and I do what I say,” did he just pull that line from Quotes.com? Did he mean to pair that Socrates quote with a shirtless pic? There’s only one way to find out... DATE!

SWIPE RIGHT: If you enjoy being lectured on the meaning of life, 140 characters at a time.

YOU'LL FIND HIM IN: Zurich, Amsterdam, and Berlin

The Romantic

HOW TO IDENTIFY: He speaks perfect English but won’t stop texting you in his native/other tongue. It’s worth brushing up on your high school French—or downloading that translation app—to understand these tiny, love letters, “Bon Jour, ma chérie,” “Je n arrive pas a dormir; j'imagine que tu es avec moi” and “Je pense a toi! Je te fais de tendre bisous.” This man also uses a heavy dose of emojis to show he’s not afraid of expressing his emojtions.

SWIPE RIGHT: If… Who am I kidding? We ALL love that! Swipe right!!

YOU'LL FIND HIM IN: Paris and Buenos Aires

The Tinder God, aka He’s Waaaaaaaay Out Of Our League

HOW TO IDENTIFY: Whether he’s a model (or catfish whose worked hard to plastered his Tinder account with stolen stock photos), you’ll swipe left through legions of duds to land on the genetic jackpot (a la Brad Pitt, circa Fight Club). You’ll agonize over the possibilities: Will he too swipe right? Is that really his face? How come there aren’t more pictures? How long could I keep it going, when I’m 9526 km away? Will he want a photo? Or is he actually our old school enemy out to wreak their revenge?

SWIPE RIGHT: If you long to stare deep into a man’s eyes (in that sexy-movie-moment way) and not care if he ever texts, call, writes or matches with you, because you already have photographic evidence to prove that time you almost dated a model—and you might go nuts by introducing him as your new, imaginary boyfriend named Ørjan.

YOU'LL FIND HIM IN: Stockholm, Reykjavik, Zurich, and Rome

The Hipstamatic

HOW TO IDENTIFY: Like a stroll on Broadway Market in East London during peak hipster hour, you can spot those trendier-than-thou by looking for the irony in their clothes, taste in music, coffee, and sense of humor. On Tinder, it’s the same. His selfie is perfectly constructed to make him look less-attractive-on-purpose, and he hates all the music you listen to. Get ready for a screen-full of hyper-filtered pics of his city’s least-known pubs and music venues. Oh, and he’ll be the first to ask you out on a Skype date, when he admittedly gets the courage.

SWIPE RIGHT: If you’re attracted to records stores, bikes, arthouse cinema, museums, and photographers (the professionals and the wannabes alike), don’t let this one slip through your swipe.

YOU'LL FIND HIM IN: Amsterdam and Austin

The ExPat

HOW TO IDENTIFY: Initial profile pic shows a man with a familiar smile, his eyes unobstructed (no sunglasses!). He’s pausing in an utterly normal moment (boring!). Bonus points: he has at least one photo with friends, his dogs, a kid (but not his), and, triple points if his bio nails the basics—food, travel, puns, sports, randomness, adventure, wine, coffee—and steps it a cut above the rest with simple, cheeky one-liner: “Tall. Dark. Scottish. Geeky.”

** SWIPE RIGHT:** If you want the comforts of home mixed in with the worldliness that comes with extensive travel (profession: journalist). He‘ll immerse you in stories of the places he’s been and maybe even entice you to renew your passport.

** YOU'LL FIND HIM IN:** Barcelona, Dubai, and Berlin

** The Pen Pal with Benefits**

HOW TO IDENTIFY: Drum rooooooooll. With Passport, you won’t be in his usual hook up radius (3 km?)—But that won’t stop some guys from taking the conversation, ahem, there. If his icebreaker starts with “Hi Sexy… Do you have whatsapp?” an unsolicited dick pic is in your imminent future. To pre-empt his creepy intentions, swipe left on male duck face shots, NSFW profile pictures, anyone who gives you their length instead height, and those all body, no face shirtless shots or “Do you have a horse I can ride?” in their bios.

SWIPE RIGHT: If you fancy taking your sexting skills worldwide or want that xxx-upgrade without the possibility of a chance encounter.

YOU'LL FIND HIM IN: Yep, pretty much everywhere.
