There's a hot/gilded thread on /r/funny right now about a girl who found a celebrity on Tinder because nothing screams comedy gold quite like putting a guy's Tinder profile up for all the internet to see. This guy is a comedian with a good bit of work on his resumé ranging from standup to film and there's even a bit of director work to his name.
Ryan Mirvis was recognizable enough to the OP to warrant posting his Tinder pictures on the internet and his reply to the thread generated nearly 7000 upboats at the time of the thread archive. We're looking at a man who is funny, has a respectable career in the entertainment industry, and has more than enough social proof to win over a crowd by just announcing his presence or having somebody else do it.
But yet, OP "hopes that this guy finds love because he's so awesome".
Does this remind you of anything? We hear all these stories of these good guys who are awesome and funny but women don't want anything to do with them. When a woman tells you "I hope you find someone who loves you one day", men have grown to mentally add "but not from me" to that statement.
Which direction do you think OP swiped considering all of what's been said?
I'm certain of all the girls that have stumbled onto that thread, he's got plenty of dating propositions from the female subscribers to /r/funny - maybe a couple from the males as well. Mirvis does have his accomplishments and social proof to pull off at least one date based on that thread, but what if he put himself on a meal plan, worked out a shit ton, and fixed up his appearance like this place preaches to guys who look just like him? I don't know if that thread would exist.
Folks, I'd like to use this as a tale to stress the importance of keeping up on your looks. Most of us here are just average dudes trying to have a fulfilling sex life and we need to use everything we got to earn that life. Not looking like a fat viking is one piece of the puzzle and can often be one of the biggest things a man can do to ensure a good first impression to achieve your sexual goals.
