..7 Reasons Why You Are Not Getting Matches On Tinder And What To Do
Your profile is all set and you’re excited to see who you match with. You spend a couple of days swiping on all the hot women in your city, and you wait patiently for that notification that you got a match. But it’s been days, and the only notifications you’re getting are from gag accounts and your work email. Now you’re starting to wonder, “why am I not getting matches on Tinder?” It can happen sometimes and there are so many reasons why.
In this article, I’ll walk you through some of the factors that affect your Tinder experience. So don’t worry; you’re not getting matches not because no one likes you. You need to get to know the Tinder algorithm a little better to help you find all those matches. Here’s what you need to know:
Why Am I Not Getting Matches on Tinder?
Tinder can be a difficult platform for some men and women. If you go through all these steps and still find you aren’t landing matches, it might be time to maximize your potential.
We’ve reviewed the best hookup apps and websites so you have the best chance of finding a partner.
If you’re riding with Tinder still, there are a number of things you can do to improve your chances. It involves a lot of experimenting with your profile, photos and how you respond to the matches you do get.
It’s a lot of fun experimenting with your profile and it’s also interesting to see a glimpse of Tinder’s algorithm.
We tend to think of Tinder as a game of chance and a lack of matches is just bad luck. That couldn’t be further from the truth but I think that’s actually a good thing. Since we have the ability to influence the outcome, we aren’t at the mercy of lady luck.
Let’s take a closer look at what you can do to get more Tinder matches.
YOU MIGHT BE USING THE WRONG APP
We tend to think of Tinder as a game of chance and a lack of matches is just bad luck. That couldn’t be further from the truth but I think that’s actually a good thing. Since we have the ability to influence the outcome, we aren’t at the mercy of lady luck.
There is no denying that Tinder is incredibly popular but that doesn’t mean it’s the best option for you (or even a good option). Before you invest a lot of time and energy into your Tinder profile you need to consider your options.
There has been a lot of research done on Tinder over the past year or two and it’s become clear that the best looking 10-15% of men get 80-90% of the attention from the women on Tinder. That’s just nuts! If you’re not in that group don’t be surprised if things have been rough for you.
Fortunately, you have some options depending on what you’re looking for:
#1 – If you really want a relationship check out our rankings of the best dating apps right now
#2 – If you just want something casual try out the best hookup apps for regular guys
Tinder might be your best option but it pays to look around.

Your Elo score
Tinder is a business and so it’s in their best interests to present relevant matches to their users.
How do they do this? An algorithm.
You’re given a score based on your actions and the actions of those you’re presented to. This score then determines a large part of your success. It can be easy to lower your score without realizing it and maybe that’s why you’re left asking “Why am I not getting matches on Tinder?”. That’s okay though — raising that score can be just as easy once you understand it.
It’s referred to as an Elo score, named after its creator Arpad Elo. It’s generally used in gaming to calculate relative skill level to other users. In the context of Tinder, think of it as calculating the relative desirability of a profile. Basically, how likely it is that someone will swipe right on and interact with you based on your profile as a whole.
Tinder doesn’t disclose exactly what goes into this algorithm. What we do know is it’s about signals of desirability. If women with high Elo scores are regularly swiping right on you, we can expect that’s going to improve your score significantly.
Even more so if you’re having actual conversations with these matches.
That means improving your bio, your profile, how you respond to the matches you do get, and most importantly, not swiping on literally every woman.
Limit your swiping by being realistic
If you max out your swipes every day but get no matches, you’re hurting more than just your ego.
If you have a tendency to swipe right on every profile out of frustration, that’s the first thing for you to fix. Consider the likelihood of matching with the women you’re swiping on. I’m all for self-confidence and the idea that there are no ‘leagues.’ With that said, there are some limits to that on Tinder and you likely know what your realistic options are.
For example, I have a friend that’s of average attractiveness with a mediocre profile. He’ll only ever swipe right on women who look like they belong in a Victoria’s Secret catalog. His matches are few and far between accordingly.
I guess what I’m saying is that while nobody is off limits based on aesthetics, accepting only the hottest women on Tinder is hurting you.
Want to know how to improve your score? Just improve the way you interact. Work on creating a better profile, only swipe right on women you want to meet and make sure you know how to talk to women in Tinder!
Tinder doesn’t have much interest in flooding your inbox with matches when it’s clear they’ll go ignored. If you’re anxious about this side of things, check out my article on how to talk to women on Tinder.
By doing this, you’ll improve your score meaning Tinder exposes you to a greater number of quality women.
It really is that simple. Now, time to take a look at your profile and what you can do to improve it.
Check your location settings
This can be the least obvious reason but it’s true. Just because Tinder is the #1 dating app on the planet, doesn’t mean it’s everywhere. Some cities are too small for Tinder it’ll only take you 30 minutes to swipe through almost every girl on the app.
Some countries favor other apps over Tinder as well.
In Colombia, you’re more likely to find more quality women on Bumble than on Tinder. It’s just how things are. Being the most popular app makes Tinder more susceptible to spammers and scammers, especially outside America and Europe, which can be the reason you’re not getting matches on Tinder.
So let’s start with the easiest factor to change. Check your location settings to make sure they aren’t holding you back. Setting your range to just one mile might seem like a good idea, particularly if you live in a big city. Instead, I’d suggest expanding it so you have more potential matches to choose from.
I live downtown in a reasonably sized city and set my range to 10 miles. It seems to be a good balance where I never run out of options but I also don’t have to travel long distances for a date.
Look over your profile
Tinder will tell you if your profile has been deactivated but make sure it’s also set up correctly. Check that your photos and bio text are still there.
For so many who ask “why am I not getting matches on Tinder?”, the answer is somewhere in their profile setup.
Just skimming through your profile settings may give you some hints. I’ve definitely seen a few instances where friends had set someone’s profile to “seeking men” as a joke!
Some men also don’t realize that they should change their photos according to where they live. Girls can throw in a couple of bikini photos and get matches almost everywhere in the world. But that doesn’t work for men. Who you compete with will determine the quality of your matches. Tinder Bali or Medellin is completely different from Tinder Dubai and Barcelona. Girls tend to be pickier in the latter and men tend to be hotter and more well-rounded.
More on that later…
Think about your age range
There’s no such thing as a right or wrong age range but it can limit your match volume. Think about it this way — how many matches do you think a 55-year-old man is getting with his age range set to 18 – 19?
Setting the range higher to see older women can be a whole lot of fun.
Setting it much lower than you though . . . often not so wise.
Are your photos swipe-worthy?
At its core, Tinder is a very shallow and fast-paced app. That means that having just one low-quality photo will result in very few matches if any. Likewise having a few good photos can help you win on Tinder.
They’re the first thing women will use to decide if they want to talk to you or not. This makes them critical to getting matches and raising your Elo score. It also makes it your first opportunity to demonstrate who you are.
While we’ve broken down in more specifics how to utilize photos on Tinder, it’s a pretty simple concept overall.
Put your best foot forward and show off your most attractive assets. If you have a great sense of humor, funny photos are an excellent option. Maybe you’re a regular traveler and have some great shots from around the world.
Quality photos give her a reason to pay attention to you when swiping. They also make for easy conversation once you get that match.
Besides, with everyone having a high-quality camera in their pocket these days, there’s no excuse not to!
So don’t add photos in non-fitting, non-matching clothes. Boring places. Group photos with lots of hotter (or lame) friends. Lame activities. Old pixelated photos. Shirtless photos where you clearly don’t work out. And staged photos that scream “I had to book this photo session to get laid.”
How does your bio look?
Your bio plays a big role in meeting women on Tinder. The biggest key is to make sure yours demonstrates who you are. Whether you go with a more detailed approach or a short, witty comment, one thing is for sure. Even the most basic of bios is a vast improvement on a blank one.
They can help in the swiping process but a strong bio is most important when it comes to having a conversation.
If you want a far more detailed look at writing a good Tinder bio, we’ve got you covered.
The dreaded shadowban
Ever noticed that when you tend to get better matches the moment you reset Tinder? That’s because Tinder often gives all new users a boost for the first few hours until it figures out their proper rate.
For example, when a 6/10 guy signs up, Tinder – who is still clueless about the guy’s rate – will show him 7s, 8s, 9s, and maybe 10s to swipe on. If those girls don’t match with him, Tinder will rate him at 6 and send him girls close to his score. On the other hand, if those 8s, and 9s swipe right on him, his Tinder score will increase and the app will send him more of those he matched with.
So, what’s the catch?
Many guys took advantage of this so-called “glitch” and began deleting, and re-creating their accounts to get better matches.
What did Tinder do?
Tinder banned those guys without telling them. They kept using the app – some even kept paying for premium – but it messed up their scores so bad they no longer got good matches, not even average ones. And the worst part? These guys never knew they were banned until they saw their friends having the same problem.
What To Do If You’re Getting No Matches On Tinder
So, you’re getting no matches on Tinder?
Well, that’s not the end of the world.
We’ve all been there, and that’s how we learned what works and what doesn’t. I was shadow-banned myself for almost six months and all I could match with were psychos and guys who were clearly being pranked.
I remember the only hot chick I got during that period was an English girl from Stoke who offered to get me coke – as in cocaine – before the date and dropped four beers in her surprisingly small belly less than 20 minutes after sitting together. So, don’t feel desperate, you’ll get your share of good women if you do the work, or you’ll have to find a good escaping plan when girls from Stoke come knocking on your door.
Below, are a few good ways to help you overcome the online trap and get more matches on Tinder in a very short time.
1. Never delete your Tinder account more than twice
The more you do it, the more your chances of getting shadow-banned will become. If you think you’re not getting enough matches on Tinder and want more/better, then build a better profile, and/or pay for a boost or two every other week.
These are enough to get you a solid stream of matches over time.
If, however, you think Tinder has shadow-banned you, then the only way out of it is this:
- Delete Tinder permanently
- Delete all the photos you used on your previous Tinder profile (Tinder keeps track of those with its face recognition tools)
- Get a new sim card
- Use a different credit card (if you’ll pay for Tinder)
- You’ll need a new Facebook and/or Instagram account in case you connected your previous Tinder account with one or both of them
Some people claim you’ll need a new phone but nothing proves it, so just stick to the tips I just mentioned. Sounds tiring? It is. But that’s the only way to reset your Tinder score and get better matches.
2. Get better photos
Duh!!! Ask women to rate your Tinder photos or use a tool like PhotoFeeler (the paid version) to get honest feedback on your photos. If they say they’re not working, consider reading our latest guide on how to choose the best photos for your Tinder profile, then book a photo session with a solid photographer.
Also consider working out, losing weight, grooming your hair/beard, and upgrading your wardrobe to look better in the new photos.
Your photos should convey that you’re:
- Good looking: Of course, the hotter the better, but this doesn’t mean that you can’t get by with a regular dad bod. I’ve seen many guys score from Tinder, including myself before I ever had my six-pack. It’s just about showing the girl that you take care of yourself and finding the right angle for your shot. Dressing well also adds to your overall score. A good tux on a well-groomed face can do wonders to your score. Women like high-status men, and if you can make your pictures speak value to women, you’ll never complain about not getting matches on Tinder.
- A potential suitor: Some girls will insist on dating a guy who makes more than she does, while others won’t care as long as you look hot and cool. Guys who get many matches consistently handle this provider part by showing status. This can be anything from simply wearing a nice suit to taking a photo in a classy restaurant or bar. You can also throw in a photo with your pet dog or cat. Animal photos give the impression of safety and the ability to provide because if you’re good enough to raise a dog, you’re good enough to be around children.
- Safety: She doesn’t wanna go out with a serial killer, so looking like a pimp in your photos will harm your score without you even realizing it. One of the reasons you’re screaming, “why am I not getting matches on Tinder?!” is that you don’t smile in your photos.
This can be anything from simply wearing a nice suit to taking a photo in a classy restaurant or bar. You can also throw in a photo with your pet dog or cat. Animal photos give the impression of safety and the ability to provide because if you’re good enough to raise a dog, you’re good enough to be around children.I figured this out one day when a girl said she won’t go out with me until I send her a photo of my teeth (lol!). She said she was worried that if I didn’t smile much in my photos that I may have crooked teeth.
That was a bad experience she had before and didn’t wanna have again. Of course, I used that situation to further make her like me (I also had my teeth whitened a week earlier and wanted to show off) so we talked on Messenger for like half an hour then went on a date on the same day.
3. Consider using other alternatives
As I said, Tinder is great, but it’s not the only one. There are other sites, including Bumble, Hinge, eHarmony where you can have success with beautiful women. Here’s a list of the best dating sites and apps you can use to meet and date beautiful women near you.
4. Go premium
Is Tinder Gold worth it? It depends on what your definition of “worth it” is. While Tinder is generally free, it will still give you lots of useful perks if you spend money on the app. It tells the app, “Hey, I’m serious about finding a date. Help me out here.” And nine times out of ten, Tinder delivers. So if you think your Tinder profile is being ignored in favor of guys who can effortlessly get matches, we suggest paying up.
Time to go and put these things into practice and see the improvement for yourself. With a more swipeable profile and an elevated Elo score, you’re going to see more matches. “Why am I not getting matches on Tinder?” will become a question of the past.
As always, give these tips a try and make sure you let us know how you go. And if you feel like, despite following our tips, you still can’t find any good matches, you might consider trying some other alternatives to Tinder. After all, with so many dating apps and sites out there these days, there’s bound to be one that will work for your specific tastes!
What is a disclaimer in movies and where did the inscription “All characters and events are fictitious” come from – Movies and series on DTF
All my life I thought that a disclaimer is just some kind of warning label in films.
41,834
views
Well, in the spirit of “not a single animal was harmed”, or “may cause epilepsy”, or “filmed by Enjoy Movies” (the last two are often confused).
But it turned out not, a disclaimer is a legal term meaning disclaimer (and only that)!
Wikipedia link
In movie terms, a disclaimer is always the inscription “all characters and events are fictitious, any coincidences are random and blah blah.
”
Canonical disclaimer
That is, other warning labels can be called captions, notifications, anything, but not a disclaimer.
Do you know where the movie disclaimer came from?
An interesting story is revealed here.
Do not believe it, but the disclaimer in the credits began to write because of Grigory Rasputin (yes, the same one from Imperial Russia).
In 1932, MGM filmed Rasputin and the Empress, a Russian starets who has always enjoyed increased attention in Hollywood, a kind of exotic Aleister Crowley in a Slavic setting.
Filmmakers even then were not particularly scrupulous about historical authenticity, so there is a complete circus with horses as a plot from the point of view of truthfulness – Rasputin fucks half of the royal court, masterfully organizes conspiracies, attacks Yusupov himself on the day of death and so on and so forth.
But on top of everything else, Rasputin persuades Princess Irina to intimate cohabitation, who later becomes his mistress and accomplice in palace intrigues.
Everything would be fine, but the real Irina Romanova-Yusupova and her husband Felix Yusupov were quite alive then.
By the way, the Yusupovs were considered one of the most beautiful high society couples in Europe
Well, when they film your wife having sex with a smelly and disgusting looking old man (even if it’s Rasputin the Terrible), you’re not happy to say the least.
The Yusupovs sued MGM, and won the case for the protection of honor – the studio had to fork out a lot for a settlement agreement with the offended couple so that the film could continue to roll at all.
The studio’s lawyers obviously did not like this outcome, so they quickly developed an announcement that would protect future films from such problems – and this is how the canonical inscription appeared “All names and events in the work are fictitious, any resemblance to real people, living or dead, is accidental” .
And in the future, if a film in Hollywood used historical events as the basis of the plot, it always showed a disclaimer in the credits.
Now
In our time, the disclaimer is already firmly considered not just a legal term, but a full-fledged object of popular culture.
Almost every postmodernist considers it his duty to play with him ironically.
Now I will tell you about some of the most striking examples.
First Rethinking
The first disclaimer banter is believed to have been in the 1940 film You’re a Nazi Spy!
The phrase used was
Any resemblance between the characters in this picture and real people, living or dead, is a miracle.
Charlie Chaplin
Literally a couple of months later Charlie Chaplin’s “The Great Dictator” came out with the following ironic phrase:
Any resemblance between the dictator Hünkel and the Jewish barber is purely coincidental
Fargo
The Coen brothers make an announcement at the beginning of Fargo that mirrors the disclaimer:
This is a true story.
The events described in this film took place in Minnesota in 1987. At the request of survivors, all names have been changed. Out of respect for the dead, the rest of the events were displayed exactly as they happened. Although the events of the film are completely fictional and clearly cannot hurt anyone’s feelings.
The title “This is a true story” would later become a hallmark of both the film and the series
South Park
At the beginning of the cartoon they always show the canonical satirical text
All characters and events, despite the obvious connection with reality, are completely fictional. The voices of celebrities are imitated (and poorly), the cartoon itself is replete with rude expressions and, due to its content, is not intended for viewing at all.
It’s funny that despite the obvious mockery in the text, the announcement itself is quite a legal tool that helped the creators several times in court.
Dogma
Well, one of the longest and most confusing disclaimers was by Kevin Smith in “Dogma” – first he explains what a disclaimer is, then he urges not to take the film seriously, otherwise God’s punishment is possible, then he remembers about platypuses, then he laughs at platypuses and at the end he apologizes to the platypuses.
Photos are indispensable here, you need to watch the video:
The rest of the list can be viewed here (it’s quite impressive): https://www.imdb.com/list/ls063258266/

Of course not, that’s just the way the authors write.
..!
And there are always prototypes (or stories that happened to someone), because the author adds fiction and develops situations … and you never know who doesn’t like it!
Look, in order to save yourself from claims and responsibility, they often write this phrase!

Something can be accidental, only after all the consequences are somehow constantly regular) So, after all, the intersection of different patterns is accidental.
There are no accidents in the world,
They just don’t inform us.
After all, we often repeat in despair:
Not at that hour, and in the wrong place!
And we don’t think it’s destined
Us any of our movement.
And that life is sometimes warped,
Doesn’t care about our ego. (c)

All characters are fictitious, any coincidences are random???
In short, there is such a thing, the whole drama is straight. All coincidences are random and the characters are fictitious!
I’m reading about the events in Hungary in 1956 and somehow all this suspiciously reminds me of someone. Almost 100% match. And you?
Do you believe in coincidences? :-).
Aiguablava, to the south, is the best of the bunch, with wonderfully soft white sand and turquoise waters framed by rugged hills topped by pine trees. If the beaches are too crowded, stroll the Camí de Ronda, a path skirting the coast, and climb down to the many idyllic coves nestled along the rocky shore.
A trio of pretty beaches front the town, but for a wilder experience, drive five minutes to El Golfet, a sublime stretch of golden sand and shallow blue waters surrounded by rocky cliffs—reachable only by a steep flight of stairs from the surrounding streets. 
The ride takes approximately 30 minutes.
Its old town is full of attractive buildings, shops and restaurants, bars and museums. There are no high-rise apartment blocks here, and although it is busy and vibrant in the high season, it has a friendly and safe atmosphere. Sitges is popular with the gay community and is also very family-friendly, and perfect for all holiday-goers who want to holiday in an authentic Spanish seaside town.
There are 2 beaches, with clean, clear water and no rocks, and the expected amenities such as beach bars, cafes, showers and toilets. Between the beaches you’ll find the large, smart marina, with plenty of bars and restaurants.
The famous (and Spain’s largest) theme park Port Aventura World is located here which could explain why holiday-makers with children flock here in the high season. The two long, sandy beaches, Llevant and Ponent, and the numerous smaller coves and bays.
A working port ensures enough of a sense of real Spanish coastal town, but there are plenty of amenities for holiday-goers too. It’s a great destination for families, and has the sought-after Family Tourism Destination certification.
If you want to spend a certain part of your vacation days on the beach, we advise you to follow the example of the locals and go to at least one of these seaside towns. 
If one had to describe Canet de Mar in a few words, it would be art, culture, beaches, modernism, nature. It differs from other seaside towns precisely in its culture and rich cultural and architectural heritage. 
But the most attractive thing about this settlement is its authenticity, because it still keeps the spirit of the Middle Ages. Right on the beach of Tamarita stands an old castle, the first mention of which dates back to the 11th century. Along with the castle, a church of Romanesque origin has also been preserved. If you are a history buff but still want to enjoy a beach holiday, Tamarite is perfect for you. 
In recent years, Gaba has become a fashionable resort, and many players from the Barcelona national team have acquired a home here. So, don’t be surprised if you accidentally run into Luis Suarez or Leo Messi himself at a local bar. 
The local beaches are perhaps the widest in Catalonia, sometimes it seems that they reach the very horizon. Calella is famous for its calm clear sea and golden sand.

In the summer, the season of terraces starts in the city, which not everyone knows about. If you love beautiful views, relaxed atmosphere and good company, this holiday is for you. 
Many prefer to relax there until nightfall, and then move to clubs or other places to plunge even deeper into the nightlife of tireless Barcelona. 
From October to April, the bar is open from 9:00 to 20:00, in May – from 9:00 to 23:00, and in June-September – from 9:00 to 2:00.

Catherine of Siena?
Dominic in Siena, while her foot and three of her fingers are holy relics in Venice.
From Rome she sent out letters and exhortations to gain support for Urban; as one of her last efforts, she tried to win back Queen Joan I of Naples to obedience to Urban, who had excommunicated the queen for supporting the antipope Clement VII.
She had a cheerful and active personality. At the age of seven, by her own declaration, she decided to dedicate her virginity to Christ. Her family forced the girl into marriage, but she consecrated herself to the Lord, cutting off her hair, “which she had sinned so much and which she hated so much.” 
They describe how one day a beggar stopped her and asked for clothes. First, she gave him her bottom woolen shirt, then, at his request, the linen linen of her father and brothers, then the sleeves for the received woolen shirt (torn from the maid’s clothes), in the end, when the whole family hid their clothes from her, she took off for a fellow beggar the last shirt off. For this, she was “rewarded with the heavenly robe that Christ brought her,” and she managed all her life with one single dress, both in winter and summer, not considering herself the right to wear outerwear while there are those in need in the world. Then she took up not only nursing, but also missionary work. The story she described herself is known [2] how she helped to come to the Lord on death row, Nicolò di Tuldo of Perugia. After this event, Catherine, carried away by her desire to provide spiritual assistance to those in need, left her cell and took up active work. 
Her first vision was of a smiling Christ, from whose heart came a ray of light that fell on her and wounded her. Subsequently, Christ appeared to her sometimes accompanied by the Mother of God, the Apostles John and Paul, or Saints Mary Magdalene and Dominic. It is described that the ecstasies that happened to her initially aroused the fears of her relatives. They describe how once, while praying in front of the hearth, she went into a prayerful trance, and tipped over face into the flames; and when they pulled her out of the burning hearth, not a single burn was found on her face (the hearth in her house has survived to this day). Florensky mentions that once Catherine refused to take communion, feeling that the ostium offered to her by the priest, due to his negligence, was not consecrated. 
Catherine of Alexandria, she dreamed that Christ exchanged a wedding ring with her, which, according to her, she wore until the end of her life, but apparently it was only for her (see The Mystical Betrothal of Saint Catherine). This happened during the carnival – to this day, the Sienese carnival no longer walks along Fontebrand Street, where her house stands. 
As they say, on her chest there was forever a trace of the wound. 
But there were also her opponents, who considered Catherine a charlatan and hysterical. In 1374, he had to appear before the court of the General Chapter of the Dominican Order on suspicion of heresy. Catherine was found not guilty of anything, and after that, the priest Raymond of Capuan was sent to Siena, who became her confessor and mentor – but at the same time a student. (Then he will become her biographer, and then a general of the Dominican order, and after his death he will be beatified). 
” Conquered by her preaching, he got rid of all his luxurious possessions, also resigned all his posts and became an acolyte in the monastery of Santa Croce in Florence. [3] 
Catherine of Siena and Saint Teresa are holy souls, regardless of any physiological conditions; their worldly and mystical life, their activities and literary works reach few of the men of accessible heights. (…) In the midst of a completely normal life, Catherine manages to gain fame in Siena through active charitable work and visions that testify to an intense inner life; in this way she acquires the authority necessary for success, which women usually do not have; its influence is resorted to to exhort those sentenced to death, to guide the erring on the true path, to peacefully resolve strife between families and cities. She is supported by a community that identifies with her, and this allows her to fulfill her peacekeeping mission: to preach obedience to the pope in cities and towns, to conduct extensive correspondence with bishops and monarchs, and, finally, being elected ambassador of Florence, to follow the pope to Avignon. Queens, by their God-given right, and saints, by their undeniable virtues, provide themselves with the support in society that allows them to become equal with men.
Others, on the other hand, are required to be silently modest [6] . 
Catherine was upset that she was not allowed to purchase the crown of martyrdom. 
She dictated all her compositions to her students. 
Catherine of Siena was critical of the wealth and worldly interests of the church. She contrasted the formal church rules with personal, inner piety. Her mindset is vividly characterized by an excerpt from a letter addressed to the wife of an acquaintance tailor: 
They are written in passionate elegiac language, replete with vivid biblical images and colorful words of the Sienese crowd. All these letters end with the impassioned formula that has become famous: “Sweetest Jesus, Jesus Love” and often begin with words reminiscent of the words of the biblical authors: “I, Catherine, the handmaid and servant of the servants of Jesus, I write to you in His most precious Blood…” [3] 
Answer the call of the Holy Spirit addressed to you. I tell you…come, come and do not wait for time, because time does not wait for you” (P. 206) [3] . 
”

The matter was not limited to this – the deity bowed to the girl and told her about his love. 
Finally, after another family quarrel, she ran to her room and left with her hair cut off. “Get away from me with your worldly problems, I want to God!” – this was how her gesture was interpreted, and now she became for everyone a girl who had taken the tonsure, an initiate. 
His request was respected, and when he returned home, he found only bare walls. 
For these purposes, she had to conduct a huge diplomatic correspondence with the pope himself, and with his cardinals, and the sovereigns of Europe. After all, not all of them wanted to see the pope in Rome. 
And then there are the controversial few who, at the top of their game, decided to make the switch between teams: looking at you Ronaldo Nazario and Luis Figo!

“I would inject the growth hormone every night. I would switch legs to do it. First one leg, the other the next day. It didn;t affect me. At first my parents would administer the injection, until I learned how to do it myself and could continue on my own,” Leo recalled in a television interview.

Your attention will be drawn to the two tapestries and a stone shield, which used to stand in the Portal de Sant Antoni, which connected the current district of Sants with the walled city.
To check, we recommend that when you enter the room you look at the base of the leaning tower that is painted on the roof, and while you keep looking, cross the room lengthways. You’ll see how the base of the tower straightens up bit by bit, until it finally starts to lean again, but this time in the opposite direction.
When it was decided, centuries later, to turn it into a side door it was also turned round, so that the part that you now see inside the room used to be outside.

Its construction took place in 1399-1402. Until 1847, there was the main entrance to the city hall of Barcelona. In 1847, the temple was demolished on St. James’s Square, giving it its name. And at the city hall of Barcelona, a new neoclassical facade was added (designed by the architect Josep Mas i Vila). 
On the wall between the columns until 2013, a decorative panel made of stone by the architect Seldoni Guiche y Alsin was hung, on which a Catalan woman was depicted and she (the panel) was inscribed “Plaza de la Constitución” (Constitution Square, since 1840 the square was called Saint James). 
This 15-storey glass building with aluminum panels, built by the architects Lourens García-Barbón, Enric Giralt y Ortet and decorated by Josep Maria Subirax overlooking Saint Michael’s Square. In 1994, the 4th upper floors were removed so that this part of the city hall of the Catalan capital was more combined with the 2nd others. 
In the chapel it makes sense to focus on the ceiling. It is laid out with a mosaic of tiles in the form of the sky with the hand of God between the letters alpha and omega. 
The first time the members of the council held a meeting in it in 1373 during the reign of Pedro IV of Ceremony. This is indicated by a sign located in the hall. Chairs made of wood came into the hall only in the seventeenth century, and a door made of marble in 1667.
