Knowing you, I bet you would offer to shower her, you perv. :|

Seriously, what people like her even do on Tinder? I don't believe they really need it, I don't believe they're there to find someone.
This one can easily apply for Miss universe :lol:.

Both of them list photography as an interest - no, duh! I don't believe they are there to find someone, either. In fact, I don't know if they're even "there" at all. They may just be ringers included by the site managers to keep the guys interested. It's really tragic that some men wrongly conclude they could never succeed at dating just because they can't match the perfection of these Photoshopped babes.


She was posting her Instagram link there in her Bio (In Tinder, you can link your profile to Instagram), so apparently she's some influencer being there for more followers = more money from Instagram.

On tinder, even the average, ....hell..even the obese woman thinks that she can get a six-packed model guy, you have no idea how inflated their standards are on this app. You can check the Tinder social experiments, there are plenty out there.

I did few experiments myself, and I can assure you that the average women's standards aren't much better than the photoshopped babes.

All this is based on PHOTOGRAPHS.

If I had to rely on something like this, I'd probably be an utter failure.

There is something to be said for the "old-fashioned" methods of meeting the love of your life.

For context, here's me:

I would categorise you more on the average side than ugly.

You probably don’t think there’s any ugly people.

Have you ever thought to fix your teeth? Can you get insurance cover for it?

If Sabreclaw was not self-conscious about his teeth before, you just gave him an additional reason to feel insecure.

I didn't think the tooth gap was so severe that a better photo wouldn't overcome it. The angle of the face and over-emphasis on the central features (nose, nostrils, teeth, etc.) are unnatural.

Find someone expirienced in photography to make you a profile pic. Your face is distorted due to being too close to the camera, the camera is looking at you from direction of your jaw bone and the background is unwelcoming. Those are all issues of the picture, not you.

All dating sites and that inflated inflated standards doesn’t stay online. Not that I think online caused this, I think they already had those standards as society tells them to and just are more open about it. Go back 40 years do you think they’d be dreaming about some fat, ugly,poor guy as their idea mate?
What has happen is society says it’s not ok to judge fat ugly women, so those women think they deserve a well off fit handsome guy. Most single women snub their noses at majority of men. But maybe without internet some would have settled for less rather then have no one, but with internet they can potentially reach out to men outside their area, still there’s only so many real men out there not enough for every single woman.
Society has killed itself, it now but slowly western society is dying and it’s only it’s superficiality to blame.

No different then looking at someone and deciding if they attractive or not and if you want to get to know them. Dating hasn't changed. See date no sites a s virtual clubs, bars, group gatherings etc. you see a lady or guy you find attractive then flirt or approach them. Instead of seeing the, in a bar you swipe and see them ,you find them attractive so you message them(walk up and talk to them).
The ways of doing it are different the concept isn’t.
Future generations will look back at this way as old fashioned and see your way as weird history much like we don’t go courting anymore along with the woman’s parents. I’m sure your great grandfather thought your parents way of dating was bad and they should courted each other lol and the their great grandparent thought courting was bad, arranged marriages is the way to go. :lol:

It is ok for ANYONE to post Tinder profiles.

Why? Because Tinder profiles are not private at all.
Tinder is by far more exposed to the world than WP, WP is nothing.

Also, black or white polo would probably go with your face better than this rot green (polo style is okay imo).

Here here, I agree strongly with sly on this one.

You other guys kee moaning « but dating sites isn’t real life ».

Yes it is, the people on it aren’t from another planet.

When I did it it got called misogynistic and warned by mods for posting profile pictures with lady’s name,mage, profile text and picture. But no one cars that you do it o.0
I said the same thing thst it’s public and doesn’t belong to the lady anymore yet I still got warned the thread got locked and picture removed.
Rules are selective enforced based on the user here or seems, ore maybe what’s her name has been here yet to report you

Sabreclaw, I have very little advice about dating but based on the picture you sent - there are very simple things you can do to raise your attractiveness.
1. You are cool color type, try to wear black, white, royal blue and other so called winter colors;
2. If you want to use dating apps, ask someone to make you a better photo in a better setting.

I doubt he is using this pic in his profile, probably it was a quick selfie to show us only.
