Some people swear by Tinder, some abhor it, but our friendly neighbourhood Tinder girl is on a mission to bring tourists around her favourite KL hotspots. Bonus: witty banter and sexual chemistry
Tinder isn’t exactly a place where someone goes looking for a monogamous relationship. Pulling up the dating app, Pauline* shows me the number of matches she’s gotten over a year – one thousand matches and counting – it’s a wonder she can keep up with all of their names. “Oh, I don’t go out with everyone,” she clarifies. “I have a way of keeping track of who’s who: the ones I’m attracted to, the ones I fall into bed with,” she says with a saucy twinkle. She nicknames the men she has slept with – with their country of origin and date number. For example, a Frenchman she brought out for lunch at Pantai Dalam’s infamous Kelantanese restaurant is called France 19. Germany 17 used to be a Hugo Boss model. Germany 15 is hot, but a bit on the psychotic, overly-obsessive side, she confesses with a shake of her head. Holland 16 is a Dutch pilot based in Abu Dhabi that she has an open relationship with – “He’s like an ex-boyfriend that I can sleep with, you know?” Sweden 18, a software engineer expat she fell in love with.
