Due to its popularity, security, and affordability, Tinder is one of the best hookup and dating applications available. Even celebrities have been known to join the app to make friends or find partners. Imagine the thrill of going on a date with a celebrity. It’s possible, but it’s not an easy feat to accomplish. Here I will show you what it takes to find celebrities on Tinder.

Remember, Celebrities are human beings

One thing that will raise your spirits when looking to find celebs on Tinder is to understand that just like you, these celebrities can want to find friends and partners. Most celebs are single, and some have been heard saying they’ve had trouble finding love and had to resort to dating applications such as Tinder and Grindr. You may be thinking, “But why would any famous person want to be on Tinder?” Sometimes, celebrities wish to find friends and lovers who aren’t drawn to them just because of their fame or property. Some join Tinder to make genuine friends and may even use an alias or a fake account to hide their true identities.

Some celebrities who’ve used Tinder in the past

Just to give you a glimpse of how much famous people use online dating applications, here’s a list of a few celebrities who’ve used Tinder in the past to make friends.

Keep in mind that although some may use the regular Tinder app, most celebrities prefer to use Tinder Select, which is exclusively meant for the wealthy and famous people. However, this doesn’t mean that you can’t swipe right on celebrities just because you’re not rich. Some celebs prefer the regular Tinder app as it does not limit their pool of friends they can make.

1. Eminem.

After their divorce from his wife, Eminem spoke to the media about his love life, saying that he was having a hard time finding love and had even resorted to using Tinder to get his ‘perfect match.’

2. Zac Efron

Speaking to The Times, celebrity Zac Efron expressed his disappointment when he couldn’t get a single match on Tinder because everyone had doubts about whether it was him. So there you have it, you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover.

3. Katy Perry

After breaking up with her then-boyfriend John Mayer back in 2014, the famous singer Katy Perry admitted spending lots of time on Tinder during her single years.

4. Lindsay Lohan

Back in the year 2013, Lindsay’s attempt at exposing her brother’s Tinder profile backfired on her by proving the fact that she also did, in fact, own a Tinder account since she was able to find her brother on it.

5. Britney Spears

After her breakup with her then cheating boyfriend in 2014, Britney Spears was surprised when her brand new tinder account was revealed to her on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon after she made an appearance on the show.

The above list is not extensive, but it’s just proof of the type of famous people you could come across on the dating app. It just shows that with a bit of dedication and a bit of swiping left on other people, you could land a date with an A-list celebrity.

Now that you know that celebrities are on Tinder. let’s discuss how to actually find them and what to do after you swipe right on a celeb.

Tips on how to find celebrities on Tinder

1. Fine-tune your location

One of Tinder’s most prominent filters is location. Tinder focuses on showing you potential dates around your zip code or the area you set on your profile. If your ultimate goal is to swipe right on a celeb on Tinder, then you need to set your location to that of where celebrities stay. For example, you could key in the ZIP code 90210 or any other zip code where rich and famous people stay. You can also change the location in your settings and determine the radius you want Tinder to search from your new site. This will increase your chances of landing a celebrity on Tinder.

2. Widen your parameters

As you set your search parameters during account creation on Tinder, do not limit your preferences to the basics. When determining factors like age, likes and dislikes, you want to include a wide range to allow you to get more match suggestions, some of which could be celebrities. For example, when setting your age preference, set a field a few years above your current age and a few below your current age to increase your chances of landing a celebrity as you search. Again, since you are at liberty to determine the radius within which you want Tinder to show you matches or people with the same preferences as you, you should set a broad value, say 20 to 40 miles. Although you’ll bag a lot of common fish with these broad parameters, you will also have an increased chance of landing a rare fish(celebrity).

3. Explore Tinder Select

This last option is the hardest on this list since Tinder Select is more like a premium version of Tinder with an invite-only membership. It’s only available to millionaires and celebrities who might not want to sift through different personalities on regular Tinder. With that said, there are only two ways to get access to Tinder Select. The first is if Tinder’s algorithm and officials deem you fit enough to be invited to join Tinder Select. You either have to be super-rich, very famous, or hyper-attractive to qualify.

The second method is if a current Tinder Select member recommends or nominates you to be invited. Due to the nature of Tinder Select, just a nomination won’t be enough. Tinder officials will analyze your account to determine whether you suit the criteria for joining, after which your membership will be approved. However, members who’ve joined Tinder Select through nomination can’t nominate other members due to Tinder’s rules and regulations.

Here are a few tips to make your profile more suitable to be invited to join Tinder Select:

• Ensure your account is verified(compulsory)
• Professional-looking photos play a significant role in the selection process.
• Write a catchy but interesting bio.
• Be active on Tinder.

I matched with a celeb. What do I do next?

In the event that you swipe right in a celebrity and match with them, you will need to be careful about what actions you take next, as they may increase your chances of getting to know them or ruin them altogether. First of all, keep in mind that you aren’t the only person they’ve matched with, and you’ll be facing a ton of competition. With that said, how you approach them and strike a conversation matters. Here are a few Dos and don’ts for you if you match with a celebrity.

Don’t fangirl them too much

To many people, just the thought of matching with a celebrity on a regular dating app is a big feat, and they often end up ruining their chances by immediately talking about how much they love them and how big of a fan they are. Instead of creating interest, fangirling does the opposite.

Remember, the celebrity didn’t come to Tinder to find fans. They probably already have millions, if not billions of them. Therefore, you need an approach that won’t be aimed at praising them or their career in order to stand out. Approach them like a normal human being, and talk to them the same way you’d talk to your other Tinder matches.

Research is key

Secondly, ensure you do your research before you ask a question or bring up a topic. You want to attract their attention, as well as hold it for long enough for them to develop an interest in you. An excellent way to do this is to look for some of the latest news on these celebrities online and find a way to turn it into a conversation. However, know which lines you shouldn’t cross, as some topics might be too sensitive. For example, it’s probably not a good idea to talk about the recent loss of a parent with a celebrity on Tinder. On the contrary, if you read an article talking about the celebrity’s love for dogs, that may be an excellent topic to bring up in your conversations. Tell them about the time you brought a stray dog home as a kid and nurtured it until it grew to love you back.

Focus on building a connection

For a celebrity to join a regular dating app, they must be seeking a connection that is based on something other than their career, fame, or wealth. Therefore, as you talk with them, please keep in the back of your mind that the main reason for your conversation is to get to know them better as a person rather than as a celebrity. Respect their wishes to keep parts of their life private and don’t judge them even when they confess to doing something undeserving of a celebrity.

However, remember not to get your hopes too high unless you’re sure they are in the same boat to avoid being disappointed.

Conclusion

While the odds of dating a celebrity on an online dating app is close to zero, it may not be far-fetched to want to become friends with them; if you can match with them in this day and age on Tinder, then you can become friends. However, know that it will probably take a while for you to even come across a celebrity’s profile, and they like to keep their personal lives private.

• The 9 Disadvantages of Dating a Celebrity

The glamour, prestige, and the fairy tale are waiting for you if you date someone famous. At first glance, the idea of dating a celebrity may seem like a good idea, but there’s a lot you might not have considered just yet.

Dating a famous person isn’t incredibly difficult; these folks are regular people like you. The only thing you have to worry about is finding them. The odds of finding them is difficult. It starts with finding a way to be at the events these individuals might attend.

You’ll have to do some research to find out where these famous business moguls, entertainers, or notable politicians may be. The rest is going to rely on chance, your charms, and that special spark all couples need to light the fire. You shouldn’t hold your breath because all of this doesn’t guarantee anything.

What are the disadvantages of dating someone famous?

Here you are, on the verge of dating someone notable, and if that’s really what you want, you should recognize the challenges you might face. If you can deal with these changes, then you might be able to have a fruitful relationship.

1. Limelight Disadvantage

A major disadvantage of being involved with a celebrity is the scrutiny you might be under. Depending on how big the person you are dating is, your life might be put under a microscope. People want to know who you are and who you might have been before.

Mistakes are going to be highlighted like never before, which can feel overwhelming. If you continue to live a normal life, these stories could put you in a negative light with the people you interact with regularly. This can happen because the limelight creates a negative narrative about you, which can change people’s opinions about your character.

2. Being on Call

Some celebrities keep a strange schedule for whatever reason. This is freeing for them, but if you are a regular person, you may have a normal schedule. It’s going to be hard to pick up the phone in the wee hours of the night after a while.

You won’t be able to accept an invitation in the middle of the week without notice. This could put a strain on your relationship, and it could make it hard to keep your professional life. You won’t be able to keep that job if you call out at random times because the person you are dating wanted to hang out with you.

3. Crazy Fans

Okay, famous people can have crazy fans, and that might become a problem for you. It is no secret that you are probably expecting to deal with some crazy fans, but the reality is that some fans can get under your skin. Maybe you’ll get hate mail; maybe you’ll see negative comments about you because you are dating this notable person.

Normal people don’t usually have to deal with a lot of hateful comments, but if you date a celebrity, you might have to. All of this could take a significant toll on you, and no one wants that. Even if you don’t think you’ll be affected, studies show how easily these types of attacks could hurt you.

4. Paparazzi

The likelihood of dealing with paparazzi depends on the celebrity you are dating, but it is there. These individuals are doing their job, and this is something most people understand, but that doesn’t stop it from being disturbing.

As a regular person, you are probably used to going out, having lunch, and going grocery shopping without someone paying attention to you. This is a freedom you can kiss goodbye because paparazzi can catch you when you least expect it. Maybe they’ll snap a picture of sweat stains, or maybe you’ll get caught making a weird expression. These are things you didn’t have to worry about before you started dating a celebrity.

5. Loneliness

Dating a celebrity can be lonely. This is not definitely going to happen, but a successful person will probably be quite busy. If you are going to continue to have a regular job, then obligations may stop you from spending time with your beloved.

Most couples stay strong because they spend time together, but you won’t always be able to. The good thing is that there are effective ways to make up for the time you aren’t together, like making sure you text each other or have video calls. It might also be a good idea to work on trust because when you are away from each other trust becomes even more vital.

6. Advantageous People

Dating a celebrity could also change your friends and maybe even family members. That may not be great to see. Sure, some people you know won’t change, but those who do might see you as a way out.

These friends or family members might become upset with you because you aren’t giving them access to this person you are dating. You know how strange it would be to use your celebrity partner to make other people’s wishes come true. Life simply doesn’t work like that, and this person you are dating is probably not going to like that. Hopefully, none of this happens, but there’s a chance that relationships you hold dear might be fractured.

7. Jealousy Testing

Groupies are something many celebrities deal with. The reality is that people in power are attractive to a lot of people, and many of those people are willing to go to extreme lengths to get to your celebrity boyfriend or girlfriend. The temptation is going be around these individuals all the time, and it’s something you’ll have to learn to live with.

You need to be able to trust your partner. Relationships usually can’t survive if one or the other is constantly jealous because it creates tension, and that’ll suck the joy out of anything. It may be a good idea to talk to a couple’s therapist to see if he or she could help develop tools that should make it easier for you to control your jealousy.

8. Self-Esteem Challenge

Another reality you may have to come to terms with is your self-esteem. Before this relationship, you probably felt pretty good about yourself, but now things have suddenly changed. You are meeting successful people and starting to see the kind of people who surround your celebrity boyfriend or girlfriend.

Successful people have access to a professional stylist, professional skincare specialist, and dentist. Regular folks may have access but not to the same degree. This means some people you meet might make you feel self-conscious about your looks. At first, this might not bother you, but the odds are you’ll fall victim to self-esteem issues. You can fight back with the help of a mental health specialist, but it can be challenging.

9. Keeping Up

The people you are going to meet are going to be quite successful, and that can mean they will own things you probably never dreamed of owning. You’ll see expensive brands, expensive cars, and expensive jewelry. Maybe you’ll fight the urge for some time, but many people will start to feel like they need to keep up with everyone else.

You may feel like all brands must match when wearing clothes. It may start to feel like you are being judged because you aren’t wearing the latest fashion or because you are still driving that old vehicle of yours. It’s hard to fight off these feelings, but that doesn’t mean it is impossible as long as you are aware of yourself at all times.
