New to Tinder. Do we have a thread on how to take the best profile pictures? Couldn't find it with the search.

On a side note, logged in on Tinder yesterday here in São Paulo after months away from it. Quality used to be kind of bad when I last used it. Now it's not only worse, but there's clearly less girls using it - I get the no girls in my area message before I even hit all the swipes available (I use 8km because more than that in SP is just wasting time - too far away).

Downloaded Happn again (which I used before and got tons of matches but no lays) and I'm trying Bumble, which seems decent. Will report back.

I'm considering deleting my Tinder account and reinstating it again because my number of matches has notoriosly dwindled (I'm not getting any match). Do you know if getting the paid version of Tinder will get you a lot of matches or not?

Fuck Tinder, for every 1 actual girl I match with I get like 15 spambots. They need to fix the Android app or some shit.

Made a Tinder again. I wanted to see how many matches I could get, and see if I could say anything I wanted and see what girls would say. In two days I got 20 something matches, with 5 ugly matches. None responded positively to my direct openers like "lets fuck." I wanted to see how attractive I really was. Oh, and some dude made a fake Tinder account and acted like he was a girl, and I got catfished by that.

My friend said I am a 9/10 and he is a dude. I believe I am a 8-9/10. Maybe it's just the town I am in (small city) and I'm in college but not in a fraternity or anything.

College bitches man...

It is hard to get matches on Tinder with girls 10 years your junior. I'm 33, and get very little response from girls that are 18-23. It seems that most of them filter out men older than 30, given all the younger(ish) male attention they receive. I have a much better rate of approaching girls in public than I do match rate with younger women. As that is my target, Tinder seems to have limitations in that regard.

^ I have the same problem. The more attractive women are in their 20s and I'm matching with jaded single moms in their 30s. Chicks dig older guys, but for some reason those on Tinder have a very narrow filter. Get a burner FB account and change your age to 28.

Once she moved away from your attempt to meet to wanting to exchange Tinder experiences....I knew she was an attention whore who just wants to kill time and be entertained. And if you send her more entertaining messages than the average schlub, that's exactly what will happen.

Let me know if you ever get to meet her.

Update: finally got to meet last night, smashed her raw.

Game maxims: just because it looks too good to be true - doesn't mean it is.

Hey guys, I just got Tinder Plus yesterday. I'm late to the Tinder Plus experience. Im sure many of you guys have Tinder Plus.

I decided to have a little fun and change my location to see if the quality of women changed. I tried: NY, LA, MIA, Italy, Dallas, my hometown, and Dallas had the finest chicks. I also noticed the higher amount of ugly chicks versus hot chicks in LA. In general, I did about 20-30 swipes per city. Dallas came out on top.

What cities are the best for Tinder in the U.S. based on your experiences?

Out of 10 matches, how many actually reply to your first line?

And why TF are bitches thinking so highly of themselves? I have read some bios of average looking girls who bark more then they can chew. What's become of this Tinder culture is horrendous.

I can't speak about the cities in the U.S, but 20-30 swipes per city can't really count for much to be honest.

Bitches think highly of themselves because the average guy act so needy and thirsty it is depressing. Try setting up a fake account as a girl or see a friend of yours tinder profile. In my mind it is both good and bad, it is bad because you have lower quality girls acting like they are 8+ and is thus harder to get with the previously easy bangs. The good thing is also that the average guy is so bad at this stuff it should in fact be easier to game her, once you get through those first couple of messages.

So true. Today's bitches are highly self-centered. I live on campus in a college town, so I should be in the heart of all the hot young pussy. I pretty much finished swiping through all girls with in a 20 mile radius, so now my beacon is looking for more girls. I have yet to match with a hot girl that replied. Some like to go mudding, listen to country music, and drink beer. Some like to shoot guns, want cowboys, and are even sorority girls. Some, are not so southern and SEEM like they'd match with a city guy like me, but no. Don't even get met started with sorority girls. It's secret society with them. Then there are the girls who put shit like "I'm only here for friends, not for hooking up" Do these bitches EVEN HAVE A CLUE WHY TINDER WAS MADE?

Bottom line: It's just a validation app. The only success I had with Tinder was last year when I found a cuddle buddy. And she was a 5. Not even going to lie. I'm trying to keep it cool and think nothing of it.

I have had very limited success tindering here in Finland (partly due to logistics), but a couple of weeks ago something happened that I thought could never happen to me... I was fucking a girl literally like 10 minutes after I matched with her on Tinder! (I wonder what the record might be?) It was late at night and she was at home ready to go to bed... I happened to be tindering nearby and she agreed to invite me to her place. After I entered her apartment and shook hands with her, she basically asked me to undress and join her in the bed... Then we fucked for 2 hours straight. I was horny as fuck and obviously so was she...

And she wasn't even bad looking, I'd say a HB7. It was a bit of a gamble because she only had one picture, which left much to imagination. I guess I was positively surprised.

Why can't life always be this easy!?

Anyone else seen this new "group" feature in Tinder? Apparently it's only being trialed in Australia.
I'm not really sure what the point of it is and have disabled it.

Alpha:
That sounds like a small town and since tinder is a numbers game as well, you might be shit out of luck. As for the girls who says they're not there for hook ups, they are most likely the easy ones. It's easy to tell if you look at their pictures, are they congruent with her bio?

I agree that for a lot of girls tinder is a validation app, but there are loads of girls who want to meet as well. At least here in Europe. I'm not calling you out or anything, but if you had success with only one girl on tinder, maybe you are doing something wrong? Do you have the absolute best pictures of yourself? How's your bio? How fast do you go for the number? It's important to build comfort.

HungJohnson:
That's unreal man, way to go, sounds like just luck though. I did something similar when I was at the library and ready to go home, she lived close by and I didn't feel like reading anymore so I went to her place, she opened the door and there was this fucking chubby girl in just a night robe. I would say she was a 4 maybe, but still, I was disappointed. I felt like I had passed the point of no return so I fucked her and went straight home for a shower without telling anyone what sins I'd done. Point is, you were lucky. Play with fire and you're gonna get burned.

Roardog:
Sounds like it's tinder for gangbangs no? That's innovative, but hopefully it will only be launched down under.

I have exactly the same problem like you with girls who have the same age gap. I'm almost 29 and it seems like my age is a hindrance to get matches with younger girls. I don't have trouble getting matches with older girls, but I'm not interested on them.

I still get girls in their mid twenties, I'm almost 30.

I have an additional profile that has me at 24/25 and I get matches on that also.

It's not hard to number close, then unmatched them right before you leave to go out and meet them.

I always play it off as a fake facebook because "work doesn't allow me to have an official one" if they ask my age I tell them.

It's never phased a girl.

I've been wondering about this, I've got 3 women I've dated and fucked still on my match list, it's made me not want to update my profile or pics just to avoid any questions even though I've made it clear to them I'm not interested in a LTR. Do they ever ask you about the unmatch, if so how do you handle it?

I don't care nor give a shit. If I'm not interested in an LTR I do whatever I want on Tinder, I'll change the pics, update my bio. Whatever, they don't matter.

They know the score - act accordingly.

How do you address the "I'm still not over the last guy I hooked up with" bullshit

Girl sent me a paragraph before we were to meet telling me she's not over some hook up and that she wanted to meet me but can't.

I didn't reply for two days becaus I'm done dealing with this type of bullshit from girls. shit like this REAAALY irks me.

I'm looking more for a LTR, which is what only a subset of girls on Tinder are looking for IMO. I think the majority of them are there for attention whoring, not actual meeting up. To me, Tinder is just a small weapon in the armory, but personally, for my goal of finding a solid LTR, my social circle seems to pay better dividends. I think for the guys who only want randoms, yes, Tinder is a better suited tool for that purpose.

I made a fake account as an Italian model (pulled a bunch of good images off Google) grad student. It seems as if I matched more with older women. My age was 33. They all responded easily to anything I said. "I like bubbles." That got a response that was positive and led to flirting. I was able to get the snapchat of a MILF who Im playing right now. I'm debating on whether to just tell her who I am and tell her it is a scam, and see if she is still interested. Interesting experiment.

My most common experience on Tinder in Minnesota...

It is a small town in the south. My friend told me things would be different for us in L.A., Boston, or somewhere big and less southern. I don't hate southern people, but the values they have are incompatible with mine. I'm reading a book called Mode One, and the women who DENY they are there for hookups are liars. Those are the type to marry a man with status and cheat on him with an alpha male. They are the ones who hate alpha males, because they expose them and scare them in real life interactions. These girls don't want to come off as polygamuous and maintain a wholesome, good reputation. But these same girls think about the kinkiest sex. I have had semi-good photos. I've tried suit pics, selfies with a smile (not looking in the camera), model-esque poses, serious not looking in the camera photos. I got in contact with a photographer who does editorial shoots here for 2 hours at $60. Pretty cheap! However, I see lots of chicks in SOCIAL pics. I have like two photos of me and some bros, but it is not how I look like now. I have a beard now, and a different haircut.

-ONLY photos I have not tried: fun social setting, vacation photo (gah I had a good one of me at the beach on a jetski), social proof photos, and overall just something that makes me look like I go out.
-I used my iPhone timer and took most photos in my dorm doing model poses, but that is not good enough. I am hesitant about doing professional photos UNTIL I go out more and get some respectable social proof photos with guys/girls/of me having fun.
As far as bios go.
- Tried being 100% honest
- Tried no bio
-Tried short bio
-Tried a wierd bio
-Tried a serious bio
-Tried some witty bio

I have no clue what these girls want in a guy. I got matched to fat girls and ugly ass girls. Total waste of time. It is finals week and I won't be in town after this but I'll be back in June to re-start my game experience. Never took summer classes.

I agree with your points regarding the girls who say they are not there for hookups.

How did the different bios work out for you though? I'm quite curious, since I've tried some different ones myself, but what's been most successful for you?
