Actress and comedian Tiffany Haddish partnered with the dating app Bumble to help singles on the app swipe to success.
According to ESSENCE, swipers in “date” mode can match with Haddish’s card to see get dating tips and advice. Out of those those that match with the card, one of then could win a private session with her to give their profile a makeover.
This partnership seems to be a perfect match because on Bumble, women have to initiate the conversation, like Haddish says she does in real life. She told ESSENCE that amidst all of her success, she gets lonely too.
“I started to realize I wasn’t having fun and I was getting really lonely,” she says. “I’m always surrounded by people, but I wasn’t necessarily having an emotional connection with anyone.”
She also gives some free game to success on dating apps.
“Whatever that first thought is in that first 10 seconds [of seeing a profile], that’s what it is,” she advises. “Swipe right or left. Whatever the first thought is, move on.”
