How does Tinder work?

Post Reply New Topic

I tried using Tinder for a few days, but I never got any matches. I don't know whether to right/left swipe or not, unless I happen to find them physically attractive. And what type of pictures should I take of myself?

If I can't sell myself in the serious dating world, should I even expect success with Tinder?

Never got matches either.
I just swipe right on all of them it's a numbers game. On that I'm losing despite having liked thousands and thousands of women in tinder.

It is overrated and filled with bots - waste of time, imo.

Don't have a use for dating websites, but I see them all kinda the same, just like social media. It's basically a calling card, a way to say "this is me, this is who I am, feel free to get in touch." Like, you meet someone cool of the super-rare "random stranger" variety and you don't have a lot of time, you ask if she's on any dating sites and exchange info and hook up from there.

All you do with that is hedge your bets and keep your options open to the online community. That's all. Unless you're open to a fantasy exclusively online gf that likely isn't devoted to you in meatspace, something absolutely MUST happen IRL. Anything apart from that is pointless.

Plus, from what I've seen people post here about Tinder and PoF, they seem like perfectly useless sites.

Back in "the day," I was an IRC addict and relentlessly flirted with girls in ways I'd never dream of offline. I only met up with three of those, and none of them progressed beyond a first date (actually, I only got one "real date" out of that). It doesn't look like much has changed.

nope, even tinder is an NT dominated arena like almost everything else.
even if you're attractive and get hundreds of matches, they'll know if you're not NT, and that'll be the end of it.
whether it be your pics, your poor conversation skills, your life situation, just anything.
even if you arrange something, they'll be out the door within too long of meeting you and discovering that you're weird.
there's no point in bothering with tinder, trust me.

It is only useful for two demographics: average to good-looking women, and very good looking men.

I used Tinder before.

Tinder is based on physical appearances and sexual appeal. I used to be friends with people who violently dating casually. Their minds are extremely passive-aggressive, attracting their own like minded people for dating. Tinder works based on pictures and one statement that is like a 'pickup line' in reality.

Similar to Grindr. Its one of worst technological invention for dating from online. It has changed a lot in dating world where people become split. More going on sex and dates, and others become reserved and never have sex and dating.

The extremes on each side is showing the gap of experiences widening. It like the rich becomes richer and the poor becomes poorer. Tinder and Grindr is one of many media and technological influences causing gentrification, oppression and bigotry.
