Natsu21 Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Unless you're tall, good looking, abbed-up, or rich, Tinder is bad for you. It's basically an app where people just hook up based on physical attractiveness. So the chances of you getting laid are slim. The chances are you finding a relationship are practically nonexistant. Good luck, in my opinion, it's a waste of time Link to post Share on other sites
Tayken Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 That is not a bad price for a full service, considering a 1hr session with a registered massage therapist cost $85, with no "happy ending". Link to post Share on other sites
fortyninethousand322 Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 26 year old guy, live in Virginia right outside of D.C. I see profiles there of women I know on Facebook or friends of friends, etc. But the only mutual likes I get are the Tinder girls advertising sexual services like in your OP.

Jame22 Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Pretty good, Even though I'm not totally into every girl I swipe I bet I could get at least 2 or 3 dates a week If I really wanted too. I've never ran into a bot. All my matches appear to be real. I always swipe left on pictures that don't appear authentic, no matter how pretty they look. Maybe that's why I've never ran into any fakes. I'm too busy to go on too many dates but from what I can tell Tinder is the best online dating tool out there, especially for younger people. I'm 24 Link to post Share on other sites
WhatIsLove2014 Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 The guy I'm currently dating I met in Tinder. Most guys on there are only looking for a hookup, dead profiles or trying to sell you on a dream lol. If this doesn't work out, I will not be returning there to find someone. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I'm 24 Interesting. I think it's on balance the best, only because you don't invest time reading profiles or writing messages. You just swipe and move on. I can't say that I've ever met anyone off of Tinder though. And not for lack of trying. Link to post Share on other sites
greenman77 Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 I signed up for it just for the ****s and giggles. But it just astounded me that 99% of all the girls that liked me back were prostitutes. There very few genuine likes but I wasn't attracted to them at all so I just unmatched right away lol. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Girls will actually respond to me on Tinder, can't say the same for POF or OKCupid haha When It comes down to it "getting to know" a person before the first date is boring & lame.

umirano Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 I used tinder for maybe 2 months (I still have it but never logged in again) and swiped maybe 200 girls. Got about 3 matches and no conversation. Boring. I haven't gotten any commercial offers. M, 28. Link to post Share on other sites
MadJackBird Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Age 38, Girlfriend I met on Tinder age 44. It worked out for me. I'd say I didn't match very many people, and those that I did it was maybe 50/50 if they replied back. Link to post Share on other sites
tryingtobesomeone Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 I'm age 21 and have met a couple people on tinder. I tend to only swipe when I have looked at their profile and seen that we have a few things in common, or that he looks like he would be my type. I live in Iowa so there aren't really prostitute profiles. I think for all the people I have swiped 95% have swiped me back, I have about 90 some matches. I have met two different people so far. One didn't turn out so well, the guy was just a dbag (but nothing I could tell from tinder) and the second guy I am actually currently seeing! It's not all bad! Good luck to you!

venusishername Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 I personally think it's more of a boredom cure than actually effective. I met a couple who met on Tinder and had been dating for months, so it does work for some. I personally think it's a waste of time. I've actually met with three people, one who just wanted to hook up for the night, the other two had a first date that lasted under an hour each. It's fun to look at cute guys' pictures and get a little kick of excitement when you get matched up. Like, 'ooh, he likes me too!' It's pretty silly. For me, it's strictly for entertainment purposes. I don't even know why I still have the app... it drains my battery anyway. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
antonio1149 Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Unless you're tall, good looking, abbed-up, or rich, Tinder is bad for you. I'm tall, good-looking, abbed-up, and I'm not rich but I live in a nice place and nobody knows right off the bat how much money you do or don't have. I've found Tinder to be a waste of time, too. Swiped numerous women, had a match with a couple of dozen, sent out texts that either got no response or quickly went nowhere. Had a substantive conversation with a grand total of one woman, but she lived far away and I don't do long distance. I'm in the 35+ pool so maybe that's a factor. Link to post Share on other sites

I'd say I didn't match very many people, and those that I did it was maybe 50/50 if they replied back. Most women online are looking for a younger guy (if they have a choice). If you're willing to date substantially older (5+ years) or plain/unattractive women, your odds improve greatly. If you want someone a few years younger and reasonably attractive, you'll need a tremendous amount of time, energy and patience. Link to post Share on other sites
Marek Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 I hear many people say they get easy hookups using this app. Can someone explain to me how it works. I heard you "swipe" or something and another swipes back and it means they're keen? I don't know. Someone please explain it to me -- I am sex-starved at the moment Link to post Share on other sites
lyndaaxo Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 It shows you pictures and basic info of a person nearby to you. You swipe left if you like the look/sound (honestly its all looks) of them and right if you don't.If that person then likes you too you have the ability to message each other Link to post Share on other sites
Marek Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Sounds like an easy way to get one-night stands. Link to post Share on other sites

Marek Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Is Tinder a FREE app, or do I have to pay for it. Also, where can it be downloaded from? Link to post Share on other sites
insert_name Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Sounds like an easy way to get one-night stands. You assume that the people on there actually want to have sex with the people they are swiping yes to. You may find that its very difficult to start a conversation on there as there seems to be a high percentage of people just looking for an ego boost. I wish there was a separate version of tinder for people who are serious about meet up. It seems like a good idea that has been co-opted by people for vanity purposes.

William Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Since this is a consolidated thread for discussing the Tinder dating app, if members would like a wiki in the first post, moderation will entertain suggestions for publishing one to make for easier reading for those interested. Currently, all I've done is add a direct link to GooglePlay for the dating app itself. Unfortunately, our software doesn't allow for user-posted wiki's. Thanks and please continue!

jonsnuh Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Just reloaded Tinder recently as a thing to talk about with a buddy of mine who flew in for vacation... Lots of bots, a few wanting to hook up, and some who are just using it to get instagram followers. Link to post Share on other sites
shet Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 So, I've had the app on my phone for a while but this last 2 weeks I actually enabled it. Thought I'd see what it was like to take it seriously. 2 weeks later, I've swiped yes on, must be 500+ women (probably closer to 750), maybe ~25 no's. I'm not picky for sure, but also I just figure since the stupid app doesn't even let you talk, it just maximises my chances of starting a conversation. Also, TBH, nearly everyone on there is hot. Faceful of makeup, figure hugging clothes, pretty. The only No's I give are either those without a picture at all or those who I find ugly - considering the figures above, I'd say either the app is stacked with the hot people in life presumably banging each other, or else my standards are pretty damn broad. In fact for the last week I've just hammered the Yes button on everyone, who cares what they look like. But it's irrelevant! Because I haven't had a single match. Not one. Is that normal? I check every day, and it's down now to a handful of fresh faces daily - I've mined it out to within 23km, ages 18-39. That range covers everything from London to Brighton, where I am in the UK. I'm no oil painting but this seems ridiculous. Is the app a con? Are profiles fake? Link to post Share on other sites
me85 Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 I'm on Tinder. Just a pass time. Not looking to date. lol Again. I dated one match for a month. About 2 months ago I unmatched with like 30 guys. Since then I haven't seen too many guys that interest me but have liked their pictures and I've only matched up with a couple. lol Guess I lost my thunder. Don't sweat it. It's just a stupid app. Link to post Share on other sites
shet Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 (edited) Don't sweat it. It's just a stupid app. Well yeah, I get that whole thing, but not a single match in going on for a thousand? With no standards applied? I have to know if that's usual for guys on there or if I'm that ****ing ugly or if the apps broken or a con.
