RonaldS Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 Tinder. I have done OKC a couple times, and I always hated it. I hated the making a profile, the total shot-in-the-dark fashion with the way you would have to spray messages all over the place to a million girls to get a handful if responses. And the girls usually didn't look nearly as good in person as in in their profile pics. Plus, it just seemed almost narccisistic to me...the self-aggrandizing and marketing. Tinder is a whole other game. First of all, there are many times more hot women on Tinder as on OKC, etc. Secondly, because both people have to 'like' each other for any sort of communication to happen, if you end up talking to a woman, it's because at least superficially, you are into her and she's into you. And the women seem much more forward on Tinder as well. Anyway, I checked it out. I'm not really into dating and don't really care if I meet anybody through there or not, but I just wanted to see what it was all about. I went through and only 'liked' women who I would put at 7 or higher. Because I'm in a major metro area, there were tons of women. And beautiful. Here are the stats after 6 days - 'liked' about 100-115 women between 25 and 40. Many of them were just hot. - connected with 52 of them - of the 52, 23 have initiated conversation by messaging me first That absolutely smokes OKC, and the average woman is much more attractive than OKC. I'm kinda like a kid in a candy store right now. Crazy.

happykat Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 I heard about Tinder from a friend with an iphone in July.. She's an attractive woman in her late 40s, and she seems to be having a great time with it. I was bummed because I have and android and just a month ago there was no app... so I'm happy to see it's available now..There's going to be more and more interest in it, I'm sure-as more android users find out about it. So, I'm installing the app as I'm typng this - I will let you know how it turns out.. I hope it's not the same people I see on OKC, which are the same dudes I saw on POF lol
Author RonaldS Posted August 19, 2013 Author Posted August 19, 2013 Dunno if you've read my thread regarding Tinder... but how THE CRAP are you getting so many conversations going on the thing?! I've 'liked' hundreds upon hundreds... likely well over a thousand plus. CLEARED my area of matches. Not a single match. I don't know. I think my tag line is kinda funny. My pics are decent but not special...one is of me holding my son. Last night I contacted 5 girls that hadn't initiated conversation with me. This morning when I checked in, 3 had gotten back with me. So, I don't know. I'm not doing anything special that I know of.
happykat Posted August 20, 2013 Posted August 20, 2013 OK, I looked at the app a bit.. It's weird in that there's basically no info, just a pic and their age.. What "tag line" are you guys talking about? I don't see any.. But I didn't even know until this afternoon that if you scroll down from their pic, you will see if you have any matching facebook interests. I don't think I like it.. As a woman that's looking for a ltr, I think I'd be best off trying match.. I am one that actually reads profiles , and I like knowing upfront if the man is looking for a ltr, how many kids he has, etc.. (or at least what he states in the profile).. I believe you can tell quite a bit about the person from a profile. I've got about 5 messages, about 10 more matches. I responded to a couple that asked me specific questions.
