Joanne McNally has opened up about her love for the dating app, Tinder.

The 32-year-old is yet to find the One on the popular dating app, but she’s still got hope.

“I’ve had the craic with lads on Tinder,” she said.

“There’s been no mad love affairs on it but I’ve met some really sound guys on it that we met and we were like straight away, ‘look, we’re not going to fancy each other’ but we had a really good time.

“It’s more just to keep myself entertained and keep my hands busy,” she told the Herald.

The Republic of Telly star also revealed that Tinder over in London is much better than the Irish ‘selection’.

“I upgraded my Tinder package to London Tinder so I’m currently operating out of Oxford Street. It seems like there was a larger selection over there. There’s more choice because there’s more of them.”

Despite her love for the app, she admitted that it can get a bit uncomfortable.

“They’re very cut-throat. If you don’t message them back straight away they unmatch you.

“I messaged one guy first and was like, ‘how was your weekend?’ and he was just like, ‘good thanks’ and I was like, ‘right’.

“Why bother writing back at all? He was basically just saying ‘f**k off’,” she revealed.

The comedienne also revealed that she would love a “manly man”, not a hipster that would turn a broken toilet into a pop-up restaurant.

“Hipsters are dead. They’ve gone out. I’m not into hipster lads. I used to be. Now I want a guy where if the toilet was broken he would just fix it and not turn it into a pop-up restaurant and not sell his own kale smoothies out of it. I’d like a manly man.”

Joanne will perform alongside some of Ireland’s most popular comedians at the Vodafone Comedy Festival at the Iveagh Gardens over the weekend, while keeping busy writing and rehearsing her one woman show Bite Me.
