Clever sister made a Tinder account and PowerPoint of potential suiters as a lovely Christmas gift
Because it's cuffing season, and because we could all use more efficiency in the new year, let us point you to the most organized approach to online dating we've seen.
Per a highly successful tweet highlighting her hard work, Megan Steffen of Chicago, Illinois, played generous matchmaker for her sister Emily, interviewing 39 potential suiters and building a comprehensive PowerPoint guide to her findings.

Via Twitter DM, Steffen tells us the idea initially began as a joke she'd mentioned to Emily offhand. Privately though, she thought it'd be a fun gift idea.
So, she created a profile:
"This tinder is actually run by Emily's sister Megan. I'm a cheap skate, so for Christmas I'm getting my sister a tinder date. I'm looking for a brother-in-law, ya'll, so NO HOOKUPS!! Em is a great gal with an alright personality, loves photography, and is a killer barista. Her best quality is being my sister. SERIOUS INQUIRIES ONLY!"
From there, the responses rolled in.
"Some asked if the account was really run by me, others volunteered to be wrapped and put under the Christmas tree, and most just found it really funny in general," Steffen says.
Though the project wasn't a surprise for long – a swiping friend of Emily's came across the profile and sent her a screenshot – Steffen gifted her sister the PowerPoint on Christmas, and says Emily's even selected a top pick. She's optimistic they'll connect in the coming week.
"From there, I hope they go on many dates, fall in love, get married, have a baby, and name the baby after me," she joked. So, no pressure.
As January and February are the months for online dating, it couldn't hurt to apply Steffen's highly efficient strategy to your own love life.
Just make sure your profile's in top shape before swiping.
