Gather round, boys and girls. It’s time for dating advice from Rob Gronkowski.
ESPN.com decided the world needed an inside look on how sports stars use the Internet for dating purposes these days, and to no one’s surprise, the New England Patriots tight end found his way into the lengthy article.
Specifically, the All-Pro’s foray into Tinder is discussed, as Gronkowski admits to briefly using the dating app four years ago.
“Patriots star Rob Gronkowski tried Tinder four years ago just for laughs, he says, ‘and I was matching like crazy!’ ” the ESPN.com story by Sam Alipour reads.
“I tell the ‘chickmagnet4life’ — seriously, that was his AIM screen name — I’m not faring as well. It hits him like a bolt of lightning. “You’re not killing it?” Gronk says. “You’re not doing it right.” The tight end offers two fixes: First, make like (Cleveland Cavaliers big man Timofey Mozgov), ‘Swipe right on everything. Get the ball rolling.’ Second, make like Dangerfield, ‘Make them laugh. Just Google ‘Tinder pickup lines.’ (Sample: You must be a dictator, cuz I have an uprising.)”
Well, then. Good advice, we suppose, although actually being Gronk is a pretty good backup plan.
This actually isn’t the first time Gronkowski has offered Tinder advice. He pretty much said the same exact thing last May in an interview with ESPN Radio’s Outsider Mike. So at least he’s consistent.
