It’s no wonder that she’s been catching many suitors’ eyes and their eager right swipes on Tinder. But when the men match with Nurse Nicole, they realize she has a somewhat strange fixation on prostates. Specifically, getting young men to have annual prostate exams. Nurse Nicole does not actually exist. Instead, her Tinder profile was set up as part of a health awareness campaign run by [Matches for Men’s Health](http://matchesformenshealth.com/). When a Tinder match is made, Nurse Nicole responds to the sometimes salacious texts from suitors with pithy, health-related comebacks encouraging trips to the doctor for prostate exams, testicular cancer screenings and colonoscopies. If the men get too worked up, she will even suggest blood pressure monitoring. It’s a clever campaign and it should be effective, but based on the text exchanges that appear on [Matches for Men’s Health](http://matchesformenshealth.com/), it’s not clear that the men getting the health tips actually realize that when Nurse Nicole suggests a colonoscopy, she really means a colonoscopy. \[Via [The Daily Dot](http://www.dailydot.com/lifestyle/nurse-nicole-tinder/)\] **MORE**: [Sick of the People on Dating Apps?
