By 2017, I’d had 14,600 right-swipes and obtained an e mail from Tinder saying I used to be on a shortlist of the 30 most-fancied folks within the UK.

I did an interview and photoshoot with them to have fun, and some months later I used to be instructed I used to be the preferred man on Tinder. That’s when issues went loopy. I obtained greater than 1,000 messages a day. I attempted to reply as many as I may however didn’t have the time to open half of them.
