Swipe Right: If Chicago Neighborhoods had Tinder Profiles

by Rachel Struna
September 26, 2016

Wouldn't it be great if picking a Chicago neighborhood to live in was as easy as swiping right?

If we had our way, it would be that easy! Every neighborhood is inhabited by a very distinct personality type. So distinct in fact, that they really COULD have their own dating profiles.

 

 

 

That's exactly what we imagined at AptAmigo. We wondered, what would a Tinder profile look like for each personality type in each neighborhood?

6’1" because that’s important here I guess... 
GO Badgers!!!! 
Brief description of the things I enjoy: Thursday afternoon men’s volleyball league, architecture, hitting up the Diversey Driving Range with my bros, doing things that are memorable.

I live in a choice high-rise if you’re down to hang by the pool, just don't pay any attention to my two roommates.

Just looking for a Trixie to go bar hopping with. #workhardplayhard

Just moved to Chicago. Looking to meet new and exciting people who can show me where all the rare Pokemon are at.

What you need to know: Brioche is not bread. I carry a dozen Shishito peppers in my purse at all times. I ❤️ tattoos!

No first dates outside of the West Loop, please. Stick to Aviary and Lone Wolf - City Winery and Haymarket are pushing it.
