Themanwithaplan Posted August 26, 2014 Posted August 26, 2014 I recently signed up with tinder and have built up a nice cushion of attractive "matches"(92). I stopped signing in for a week and then signed in and started swiping. I got tons of matches that had already "liked" me, and within 24 hrs, 3 of them had initiated contact. It definitely seems to work in my favor when I'm not the the first one to swipe right, although to what degree, I'm not sure. I also noticed that if you are actively chatting with someone using the app, they tend to check your profile activity. I had one girl yesterday send me a first message with her phone number. Then she unmatched me an hour later after I had been active and hadn't responded to her. Another girl complained that I didn't text her the day she gave me her number. Then didn't respond when I did (after a long swiping session). It seems lame to judge because tinder is a notorious hookup site where most people(I've heard) are seeing/talking to multiple ppl. So why the double standard? What does everyone think? I'll also point out that when I'm dating someone, I tend to get tunnel vision and find that I'm not as interested in women I normally would be otherwise. I get why being active on tinder while actually dating someone might be of concern to some, but just talking? I guess I'm gonna start doing my swiping first and responses second.
guest569 Posted August 26, 2014 Posted August 26, 2014 I didnt realise you could see when people have viewed your profile?? I have had similar experiences where men get very impatient with me if I dont respond quickly. I think its that sort of site where they just want instant attention. They look at your photo, make a quick decision/judgement and expect to meet right away. I had a guy get all jealous cause i didnt agree to go and meet for coffee NOW. Or i sign in and find 10 messages from one person over a 24 hr period that quickly turn abusive. You are right, tinder is weird!! 1

I think the irregularity is when you're swiping, your "last active" time constantly updates, and if you're doing it a lot it's obvious I guess. I never bother to look, I just assume everyone on there is dating multiple people. It definitely seems like it takes some getting used to
Kid_Charlemange Posted August 26, 2014 Posted August 26, 2014 I think the irregularity is when you're swiping, your "last active" time constantly updates, and if you're doing it a lot it's obvious I guess. I never bother to look, I just assume everyone on there is dating multiple people. It definitely seems like it takes some getting used to I've had no luck with it. Only got into a few discussions. One turned out to be a hard-core Christian who was looking to "save me!" Another was, I'm pretty sure, a dude... the third one showed some promise, but all of a sudden she said she was deleting her profile because Tinder was "weird." Ah well. At least it's free. Speaking of which... what is their revenue model? I see no ads, an no add-ons. The only thing I can think of is that they are selling demographic data, or perhaps they are just looking to get bought out by some online giant? Weird indeed!
