Meet the Bagel of Your Dreams — on Tinder
Graphic by Angelie Zaslavsky
In today’s dating climate, sometimes you just want to give up and have a bagel. Bagels are always there for you and they make you feel good, so you can imagine that if you came across one on Tinder you’d automatically swipe right.
Vice reported that a 25-year-old man, going by the name EverythingBagel on Tinder, has gotten over 1,000 matches on the dating app.
He’s a college-educated graphic designer who despite his 1,000 options is single. That might be because he uses Tinder and his bagel avatar mainly as a joke, trading quips with breathless women about lox and desire. But he thinks that if he wanted to really connect with someone on the web, his doughy alter-ego would give him an edge.
“Even if I wanted to meet someone from the internet I feel like I probably have a better chance as the bagel. It breaks the ice,” EverythingBagel told Vice.
Sounds delicious.
