Shooting Your Shot
The TikTok star chats about partying, dating, and the pre-sex ritual she swears by.
But lately, a lot of people have foundthe singles sceneto be particularly exhausting.
We are living through a paradigm shift in dating, one hundred percent, Tinx says.
But that doesnt mean we should be lamenting it.
Lets get creative how can we make this experience better, and have fun with it?
Clubbing is a dying art, and Im ready to bring it back, Tinx says.
When youre going out, the intention should be to have a good time, period.
Fun is my favorite word, I live for it.
Ahead, Tinx takes us throughher hot take on the apps to the one pre-sex ritual she swears by.
After all these years, are you sick of talking about dating?
I love talking about it.
The part that Im over is the negative conversation of how bad dating is right now.
How do you feel aboutthe apps?
Im pro-apps, but you have to use the app, you cant let the app use you.
This year, I started using them with more intention.
This is not a husband catalog; this is not a validation tool.
This is a way for me to meet people, so how can I do that best?
Thats my test not if I like the color of his shirt.
I love that for you.
Do you have a favorite dating app?
Hinge is my b*tch.
Im very into buying roses right now.
What do you think about drinks vs. dinner for a first date?
Drinks, for sure.
Dinner is too much.
What would you tell the girls whod rather skip wine, beer, and cocktails?
Get an iced tea!
Agreed, mocktails are sexy!
Another thing about dating that I feel isnt discussed enough or made hot is safe sex.
I ask guys up front when they were last tested I dont care.
Ill say, Lets go get tested so we can relax a little bit.
I think its hot.
Im working very hard to get rid of the stigma around asking your partner these things.
How do you feel about the party scene in NYC vs. LA?
NYC is better, hands down!
I literally cannot find a party for love nor money in LA.
The only place I go to isMarketin Venice its a restaurant that turns into a club.
There is always a great DJ and hot people.
Whats your date night cocktail of choice?
Very, very dry vodka martini with a twist.
I really believe in that mantra.
But if its a third date, go crazy.
