smg15 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Well I have been getting matches but the two people I gave my number to sounded awful on the phone so I didn't want to meet. Link to post Share on other sites

MichaelA Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 I've tried tinder, but its mostly spam. nobody meets they just use it as a game. i found that hoobee in iTunes is better than tinder. no Facebook info or email required either. you can actually post a snapshot (moment) to entire database of users too instead of only just your matches. the best part is they actually have a thumbs up or like icon and a thumbs down icon too!

Fhsjkfjrhsdh3646 Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 I've used Tinder quite a bit - I usually get mostly spam (Which I can recognize the second we match now and unmatch them thankfully). I do get some real matches but most often they are time wasters and/or never respond. I have gotten a couple phone numbers but no meets yet. I've met girls on Online Dating sites and they're all MUCH more attractive than what I get stuck with on Tinder... Lol. I think Tinder is pretty much dead in my area (Twin Cities). I'll stick to traditional Online Dating where I'm having much more success. Link to post Share on other sites

LifeandPerseverance Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 I saw this thread on Friday, and I was initially going to post to it then. It's hilarious, because you would have got a totally different answer and view of tinder out of me THEN than you would NOW. My experience with tinder: I've been on dates with 3 guys from tinder. First date: Guy #1 was an okay guy, and I'd probably stay friends with him, but we view relationships too differently. Second date: Guy #2 was a really nice guy, completely non-compatible personalities, no personality chemistry, it never would have worked. Third date: Guy #3--the attraction, the personality chemistry, the compatibility was all there. He was everything I could have wanted and more. I really liked him. It was just different with him. Even on our first date. And we started seeing each other. And he's been nothing but good to me. And I really liked him. So I was thinking: Man, tinder really might work out sometimes. Who would have thought?!!? And I thought it was mutual because I believed him. And then he announced to me night before last his ex girlfriend called and wants a second chance, and he's "not sure what he's going to do." So yeah. That's my tinder experience! It seems you will attract entitled guys (sex), guys looking for hookups (whether they're honest or not), guys with no personality who have a hard time meeting girls in real life, ugly guys who have a hard time meeting girls in real life, guys with no social skills who have a hard time meeting girls in real life, and good looking personable interesting smart funny guys who are looking for a rebound. Sound like good options to anyone? I think not. Link to post Share on other sites

LifeandPerseverance Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 How was the date set up once you were a match? A few messages and then phone? Depends on the guy. Guy #1 we messaged during the day, then phone, then date the same night. Guy #2 we messaged for a couple days, then started texting, texted for weeks, then a date. Guy #3 we messaged all weekend, then arranged to go on a date, and at the end of the first date, he got my phone number. Link to post Share on other sites
Fhsjkfjrhsdh3646 Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Im not sure I know what you mean They just updated the app yesterday. You can only like a certain number of people otherwise you have to pay $9.99 if you're under 30, or $19.99 if you're over 30. Link to post Share on other sites
Justanaverageguy Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 They just updated the app yesterday. You can only like a certain number of people otherwise you have to pay $9.99 if you're under 30, or $19.99 if you're over 30. You can still get around it if you know how the app tends to work. It will front load all your matches. So if you are new in an area or haven't logged on for a while - you logon and just match with a couple of people to get your account active in the area and then log off for a couple of days. This puts your profile back to the top of the list in the area for others to match with. You come back 2 days later and all the people who matched you will be front loaded as the first profiles Tinder shows you. Makes you look like a pimp if you want to show your friends how the app works and you get 10 consecutive matches Plus its just better spending 2mins and getting 10 matches then sorting through a hundred profiles.

smg15 Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 This is the second time I clicked YES on someone's profile and was told we were a match. Then I send a message and the girl never responds which got to be up to 6 days? Why? I wasn't unmatched and saw after she was inactive for 6 days she came back but never responded to my message.

fitnessfan365 Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 People right swipe on Tinder all the time. Half the time you'll pull out your phone and start swiping just to kill time. So she probably has a ton of matches and can't talk with them all. That's actually why I stopped using it awhile back because you get so easily distracted into swiping all the time.

soyou Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 I'm a lady and here are a number of reasons why I don't respond to "your" messages: 1) After we match, I take a closer look to your profile and I dont like what i'm seeing anymore 2) I have so many matches and I have such a little time so I cant be the entertainer to everyone. Somebody will get ignored along the way and somebody will get my attention. 3)Saw the message and wanted to reply but was winded up by some other things so I forgot. And if I forgot it for 2 days, likely I'm not going to reply at all even though the guy can be a good catch. Hope that my insights help you somehow ;-) Link to post Share on other sites

Krieger Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Why are you doing trying to date online? I done it it sucks all I got was woman that the rest of the men did not want. I am far from perfect but come on now. I would get out of the house more and go meet people the old school way. OP men are going to say stupid things to you get used to it online. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Dallers Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 All Online Dating is difficult and potentially a hookup. Tinder is the highest on the list of hookup apps. I do not see how anyone can consider Tinder as anything more in the present day as it is based solely on looks. You are then categorised into how easy you are to get into bed. The conversation either goes down the route of boring chit chat or straight to flirtation with an aim for a hookup. PoF and OKcupid are far better for actual dates to lead somewhere. Not saying Tinder does not lead anywhere but from my experience 99.9% of my interactions have been. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

It just means that he views Tinder as a hookup/fling app, and he wants to **** you. Sadly he's mostly right, but he could be a bit more subtle in his approach. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
impatiently_patient Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 I figured I'd give this a try again, as I have a few friends and co-workers that swear by it. I'm rattling off the max number alloted per day (they imposed a limit to discourage bots... and it seems to be working). I'm not just right swiping everybody, either. There's too many single moms that I'm trying not to waste swipes on. Otherwise, I've got a pretty diverse taste in women. I'm probably yessing a good 75% - 85% of the remainder.

Jessie1231 Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Do you have good pics and something funny written? If there are great pics but anything at all negative, I swipe left. I can't stand to see a list of things someone dislikes in people. Average pics and something cute and funny beats someone super hot with a bad attitude any day. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Jessie1231 Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 I couldn't say then. I went out with one guy I met on Tinder, and he was attractive, successful, hilarious, just an all around great guy. Anyway, we started talking about Tinder and he said he hardly ever got matches. He even showed me and he only had about four total for two weeks of using it. A former coworker who was very good looking but a total ass to women used it, and he got matches nonstop. I really have no idea what goes through women's heads. I'm glad I'm not male and don't have to try to figure that out. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
