well...talk about an awkward first post....

tinder is no stranger than meeting people any other way; at least with that approach there is the advantage of minimizing the nonverbal part of the initial conversation

Nope, I'll pass on meaningless, random sexual encounters. If I want that, there's POF.

Still, I get what you're saying. If every girl on Tinder found a beau, there would still be guys left.


why would you want to live here? unless you're good looking, thin and successful they just look down on you.

What's the problem? I am good looking, thin and successful 8)

i have, but no matches so far.
i just use it for giggles though, i'd use a site with a bit more in-depth initial selection than pure looks: like OKCupid or PoF.

I actually got Tinder last week. I decided to get it just to try it out because I wasn't having much success with women irl. The first couple of days, I wasn't getting any matches so I changed my profile picture and I started getting matches but I was too shy to talk to any of these girls so I deleted my account.

I started over today and iv'e been getting a couple of matches and been talking to this one girl. Hope it works out.

Honestly as long as you're decent looking, you should give Tinder a shot because you never really know who you will meet. I don't think everyone there is looking to hookup. Plus I would be WAY too shy to approach a girl irl and ask for her number. I'd say use Tinder now before it falls out of popularity.

I have used it before. Most of the men on there were obnoxious. I've had a few decent encounters, but alas.. none were "successful" by any means. I think the most entertaining part was flipping through the photos and seeing the ridiculousness that is humanity..

If I can get a professional to photoshop my pic perhaps I would have better success with Tinder. I think most finds me too ugly.

I can't remember what it's called but I saw an ad a couple days ago for a gay version of Tinder with the swipe left/right rating feature geared more towards dating than hookups. I have a feeling that guys will be guys and it's likely to just be another hookup app lol if it catches on, anyways. Maybe not, though. Maybe there's enough guys out there who'd use a dating app vs. hookup app. I guess time will tell.

Pointless app girls dont give me the light of day on it and is filled with bots and prostitutes and then you run out of likes . much prefer pof where at least i can have a proper convo with a girl.

There's some people who just under Tinder not for the purpose of dating but just to see how many people like them back.

Assuming you swipe yes every time and you're an attractive female, you can realistically expect to get matches every other time or 1 out of 3 times. More guys to choose from = being more picky.

For men, not really sure. If you're a man and you get a match 1 out of 5-7 times, you're pretty attractive. 1 out of 10 isn't too bad as well. I only get matches I would say 1 out of 20 times so not too good but not horrible either. Most girls don't swipe yes to almost every guy.

I saw lots of trouble in making Tinder work on my desktop PC (I registered myself by using Android emulator and then I can use the program with Chromium's flamite plugin. I can change coordinates with tinderbot program. Unfortunately, that emulator takes around half an hour to use since it's so slow so it's too difficult to change photos or description text).

I have now used it since March. I browse girls a bit everyday. So far I have got one match (she was some foreigner without face being visible. She told me she's drinking wine and I didn't know what to answer since I only drink soymilk and soon she was gone).

Some of my Internet buddies have good experiences from Tinder. They are not overtly "hot" in conventional sense, but they're graceful, witty NT-people so I guess it may work for them. I should probably myself switch to the strategy of accepting every girl in order to finally get my second match.

Lol I used Tinder and got some matches. But i'm either too shy to message them or I say something completely stupid.

I wrote "ayyyyyy girl let me take you to McDonalds and buy you a happy meal"

And in another I wrote "Whats your favorite Pokemon? Mine is Squirtle!"



See? I really have no idea what to say to girls on this stupid ass app. I f*****g suck with talking to chicks. WTF?!

I used different mobile apps like Tinder and Hot or Not and they are both great. But I prefer traditional dating sites for that purpose. The best one for me is http://find-bride.com My best friend met a cool girl there and they are getting married soon ^^

I am not the one who usually starts a fire when I am out somewhere. I heard that paper is a good tinder.

Tried it for a few days. Right-swiped every girl that appeared until reaching my swipe limit. So 300-400 girls I guess. Only got one match - a morbidly obese girl.

For reference, I'm 27 and in excellent shape (6 pack, chest striations, chiseled face from having low body fat, etc.). No baldness or other obvious defects either.

This is why I'm highly skeptical of guys who claim to have success on there.
