Need help matching on dating apps? Emmanuel Macron to the rescue. Failing to convince feminists, the President of the Republic provided a perfect hook for subscribers of Tinder, Bumble and other sites designed to find love (and not only that).

In-Depth Introduction
These patriots standing at attention revolutionize the flat and traditional introduction of “Hello, how are you?” “. With the reference to political news, “it changes, it’s current, it’s funny, it’s fresh and it also allows you to quickly know what the guy is into, especially if he has a repartee », tells 20 minutes Geraldine, 42 years old. This Parisian also made her scores skyrocket thanks to this magical catchphrase, also spotted by the Instagram account Lacelibraire.
“It worked, each time the guys responded and vice versa, three guys came to talk to me with this hook,” continues the woman who has filled her weekend schedule. Geraldine landed three dates just for Saturday. “It allows you to talk about something other than yourself,” she still argues, decidedly convinced.
From meme to outrage
One of her 34-year-old friends, Aurélie, also experienced the effectiveness of this new little phrase offered by Emmanuel Macron. Since the press conference followed by 8.7 million viewers on Tuesday evening, the young woman has added not one or two but six opening discussions and romantic meetings.
