Alright ladies, we've covered the basics of 𝘭𝘦 𝘧𝘶𝘤𝘬𝘣𝘰𝘺 including their anatomy/characteristics, how they maneuver, how 𝘺𝘰𝘶 should maneuver, how to deal with them and their friends, and the different types of fuckboys you may encounter on an everyday basis.

I saved this part for last simply because it's a sign of the times. With the tremendous rise in social media, and it's extraordinary power and influence, millennials are using dating apps at a rapidly increasing rate.
Because dating apps are still pretty new, they are also still ridiculously flawed in more ways than one-including weeding out the fuckboys!

You take dating apps and fuckboys and combine the two and you've got a different type of beast we are now dealing with ladies.

So, how does one attempt to navigate that of dating apps with fuckboys lurking in the cut?

Here are a few tips I've picked up along the way that you too can use when you're using dating apps to help you better AVOID being duped by one.

Tip #1- If it looks too good to be true, it probably is.
Thanks to the Hallmark channel(which I love btw), social media romances have completely saturated our hearts(and minds) with the idea that our Prince Charming is waiting for us within a matter of one quick swipe left or right. And while the idea of finding your soulmate so easily sounds like a fairytale, it's important that we keep those silly romantic fantasies on our vision board and in our manifestation journals and OFF of dating apps!

The reality is that more than half of dating profiles that we find online are just bored homebodies and teenagers catfishing for shits and giggles. It's crazy that as advanced as we are in this day and age with technology, spam accounts, catfishers and online scammers are still running a fuckin muck but, lest, here we are. As much as you are tempted to let your guard down on these dating apps and "let your true love come to you", the reality is that your Prince is a just a horny, bored teenager fucking around with you. I say all this to say—use your common sense when you're on these dating apps. If your Idris Elba look-a-like looks too good to be true then he more than likely is a catfish or a fuckboy looking to waste your time. Always navigate dating apps with your common sense ladies. For every "prince in the making", there is double the amount of fuckboys ready to waste to your time and add unnecessary stress to your life.

Tip #2 - Avoid the 'WYD' types
While social media and dating apps have made online dating incredibly convenient, it's also made us just as lazy—especially when it comes to putting in effort. Face it ladies, the days of men going out of their way and courting us like before are damn near dead and gone. Dating apps and social media are BEYOND saturated with the WYD types and are seriously lacking in the old-fashioned types. The WYD types (also known as potential fuckboys who are just gonna waste your damn time) are the guys who wind up in your DMs or messages every few weeks asking you "WYD". The WYDs put in little to no effort whatsoever when it comes to keeping the convo going, let alone a date. They are basically there to see if you're still "available" in case the mood strikes them or they need a distraction or their girlfriend is pissing them off. The WYD types never ask you how you've been or try and catch up because frankly—they don't care. They aren't interested in anything serious with you because if they were, they would show it. They are there to, you guessed it— waste your time with their GRADE A FUCKBOY BEHAVIOR! I can NOT reiterate this ENOUGH ladies, the WYD types are ALWAYS fuckboys! The second you start to notice that your fuckboy-in-waiting is striking up the same dry and stale convo every 7–10 business days, you know it's time to hit that block and delete and move on to someone with more potential.

Tip #3- Remember that this is a dating app, and that you won't truly be able to tell the type of guy you are dealing with until you get outta the app!
I hate to break it to you ladies but in order to truly know what you are dealing with, you're gonna have to take things out of the dating app. Whether that's talking more in-depth on the phone or meeting in person(more on that below), the only way you'll truly know if you're dealing with a nutjob or a fuckboy is to interact outside of social media/dating apps. It's a given that everyone is gonna paint themselves
in the best light on social media and the like(i.e. stuntin*cough LYING cough* for the gram), so please believe that your potential bae is DEFINITELY painting himself to be your dream man. The sad and unfortunate truth is that more than half of "the potentials" who are on these dating apps are either looking for a hook up or can't get a date(sorry it had to be said*Kanye shrug*). In laments terms, your potential bae may look good on paper(or the gram for that matter), but when you meet him he could turn out to be a serial player who mooches off his friends , a mommas boy with temper issues or all of these rolled into one. In order to know what or WHO you're dealing with, you'll have to break the barrier a bit.

Tip #4- Keep in mind that a majority of the men on dating apps aren't looking for long term.
While you may be online looking to make a love connection, remember that a majority of the guys on these dating apps aren't. Be cautious of and take note of the convos you're having with the guys you're talking to online. If you notice that they are only interested in meeting up and hooking up, the convo always lead to or is usually about sex— steer clear of the horny fuckboy in heat.

Tip #5- Use discretion. Fuckboy or not, remember that you are ultimately on social media and you need to be careful!! Safety is and always should be your MAIN priority. If and when you do decide to take things outside of the DMs, make sure you do so safely!! If you're meeting someone you met online always make sure you let a loved one know, always make sure it's a public place and don't let them pick you up or know where you live. Even if you feel comfortable enough with said person, remember that ultimately you don't know this person from Adam. Avoid putting yourself in danger and err on the side of playing it safe instead.

The reality of it all ladies is that if you thought you were gonna be able to escape the fuckery online, I'm here to unfortunately burst that bubble and tell you that you'll have to be more careful of the fuckboys lurkin in your messages. Hopefully these tips will better help you navigate dating apps better in hopes of avoiding getting linked to a fuckboy.
