Similar to others, I was getting a lot of matches the first few days in my new city but then it slowed down. I mean like swiping 1-200 chicks a not a match for days. I deleted my tinder account and deleted the app, took some new pictures (one with me at the beach shirtless(profile pic), another with me rock climbing, one with me in a suit and the last just me lounging around the house) added my height first in the description box and changed it to some funny/unique quote. Within the last two days I probably swiped about 200-250 chicks and matched with currently 42 of them. So try that guys and see what happens.
Also another trick: when you log into tinder after a few minutes or hours the search sometimes doesn't auto update, so you have to push the system into doing it, go to your preference and move your distance up or down by 1 mile and go to search, it should load up the most recent bishes that have been on.
All the stuff you mentioned should be done already -- maximizing your profile.
But that's not going to have you seen by more women, which is the problem.
Like I said before, I would swipe on bots and not even match with them. So I wasn't being seen by anyone, period.
It's a glitch in the app that needs to be handled. The only way to fix it as far as we know is to delete the account and restart. It shouldn't have to be that way.
Also, I *do* expect the matches to decrease as the days go on but not drastically so.
Think about it, you join on day one, and lets say out of 100 girls who see your profile, 10 are interested.
So those 10 are now matched with you and you don't see them anymore. The other 90, they swiped left on you because they weren't interested.
Day two comes around, and out of a batch of another 100 girls, there are at least 50 from that 90 batch who swiped left on you. So they swipe left again.
You see what I'm saying? Overlap. The more you're on the app, the more girls have seen your profile. They're either gonna swipe left or right. You're only gonna get overlap with those who swipe left because the girls who dig you are already matched and out of the algorithm.
It's not long before the only ones you're seeing are girls who have swiped left on you multiple times.
But not getting anything at all after like 1000 swipes? Even bots? It's the app (for me at least)

me: if i'm not mistaken, that's how normal people set up plans. Too mundane for you?
her: ok fortis. test me (number lkadjflsjfdlsf)
her: text me! my phone is an asshole.
I'm not particularly interested in this one: she's 35 and it's definitely showing, but I find it so funny how by assuming the sale and not giving a fuck about her objections that she's throwing me her number, even though she thinks I'm disgusting. lmao
That'a Tinder, buddy. This chica is...DTF.
Fortis 路 2014-07-14 00:31:00 路 #2029
I can tell. it get's funnier over text. As I already said, I don't find her much attractive, so I'm trying to push this as far as it'll go.
me: hey erin, it's fortis.
her: yooooo
Her: spit or swallow
me: you first
her: depends
me: on.
her: the person
me: what are you doing tonight
her: can't sleep. u
me: let's hang out
her: where do you live punk.
me: *town*
her: dunno. that. I live *town*
me: that's close to me.
her: easy breezy (wtf does this even mean)
me: what's your address?
her: omg r u coming over. lol?
me: yes
her: haha.
I think I may have lost her, but this was fucking hysterical, not to mention educational. I really didn't think women were like this.

^ Amen, brings a tear to my eye.

Terrific stuff, Fortis.
The only that would stop that lay happening would be a lack of comfort. You've amped up the attraction so hard you need to somehow get some comfort in there, so her hamster doesn't have a stroke.
Renberg 路 2014-07-14 07:03:00 路 #2033
Wow, that chick is so blatantly horny. Good work, Fortis. Bringing out the best in her.
Had a chick flake on tinder
Unmatched and on to the next one.....
All star game weekend is in Minneapolis tomorrow
tons of people from out of town
I will be joining in the festivities and will be on tinder as well
I hope you guys are having better luck then me
Renberg 路 2014-07-14 09:01:00 路 #2035
Tinder is a flake-fest.
Give an American woman an app that encourages a seemingly infinite number of men to compliment her and she think she rules the world.

Maybe I'm doing something wrong?
How many swipes is normal before a match? To be fair I've probably swiped under 40 so far.
Curious, was the tiger thing an ironic nod to the massive amount of "guys with tiger" photos on Tinder, or meant in seriousness? A girl I banged off Tinder the other week was telling me how she thought it was "lame how many guys thought they were badass when they're posing next to some tiger who was clearly just fed a bowl of tranquilizer". So that might not be a great idea unless you have some caption about the "obligatory tiger pic", even then I'd skip it, overdone, IMO. There's even a tumblr about it - http://tinderguyswithtigers.tumblr.com/
Also, IMO a second shot participating in a cool activity or sport would be better than two in a row suited
That actually blows my mind! I am literally the only guy in my friend group with an awesome tiger shot in Thailand. I genuinely did think it was badass and awesome haha. Oh well.
Fortis 路 2014-07-14 10:34:00 路 #2037
Thanks guys.
So, she sent me this text this morning:
"I totally passed out last night."
Any ideas on how to re-escalate for round 2?
Renberg 路 2014-07-14 10:41:00 路 #2038
That's impressive she even continued the conversation! Good stuff.
Are you free tonight? If so, hit her up later.
If not, let the hamster run and schedule plans (that is, if you're interested)
Fortis 路 2014-07-14 10:45:00 路 #2039
^ Smart.
I mean, I WB just because it would be such a waste to go through all this humour and not rail her out. She does deserve her pellet.
I totally see what the "hamster" is now. I never got that until yesterday.
Renberg 路 2014-07-14 10:50:00 路 #2040
It's interesting; I would have guessed the opposite. Tinder is the place where women can be even more bitchy than they are in person. It's the blank canvas on which they can paint their much more interesting, much more selective life than what actually exists.
Some girls here have anti-hamster. I could say a joke that's pretty inoffensive and she'd be like, "You're so judgmental, fuck you!" Girls on here are very often hypocritically judgmental.
But, there are lots of girls who dig sensual convos and meeting up with dudes, which is why this thread is 82 pages long.
Fortis 路 2014-07-14 11:10:00 路 #2041
^ I'm noticing a certain trend: the uglier the girl is, the worse her attitude is when you use direct tinder game. They all have this delusion that guys are on tinder to wine/dine their ugly asses. It's usually the hotter girls who at least play along. Lol
Oh, and black girls hate direct tinder game. Hot or not, they HATE IT.
Got catfished last night.
A girl that I was matched with a week ago posted a moment last night. She looked pretty cute. We had never spoken before, and I was horny so I decided to hit her up. We're talking to each other for like an hour and I'm trying to get her to meet up with me. She finally agrees and I told her what subway to meet me at. I'm at the subway waiting for like 30 mins and I'm thinking this chick is gonna flake so I hit her up saying "You're wasting my time. I'm going home."
Finally she shows up and this bitch is fucking huge. I mean almost obese huge. Initially I thought it was a different girl but then she said my name and I'm just thinking there's no way I'm banging that. I told her I have work tomorrow and I have to go get some rest and I'll hit her up tonight so we can make plans(yeah right). As soon as she left I unmatched her on Tinder.
Lesson learned: selfies are deceiving. If a girl has a bunch of selfies and no body shots, she's a SIF.

Made a new tinder account Saturday, over 40+ matches in less than 2 days. Unfortunately 50%+ of them were 5's. The 9 I matched with I'm pretty sure is a catfish, a few 7's here and there though.
We'll see what happens, this time I'm not using any canned lines or alpha sex texts at first, (unless I can tell they have a good sense of humour)
Back to my original pics with one 2nd pic being new, me in a Uncle Sam tank top holding AR-15 and pointing at the camera, bearded, sunglasses. (this could be the reason I'm getting more matches, or not)
Fortis 路 2014-07-14 13:10:00 路 #2044
Could use some help here:
me: spit or swallow?
her:spit
her:why tho
her: O_O
me: seeing if you're my kinda girl
her: ooh i see
me: you know what they say about girls who spit, right?
her: no wat
me: they're cleaner
her: wow... i don't go down town
Ahhh alright, the matches are coming in now. Decided to troll the first girl by making several allusions to anal sex, and many puns on the subject.She was not pleased.
Neeeeeeexxxxxxxxxxxt!
My friends knew how bad I was going to be on this, considering I've had so much fun with POF and OKC already.
"Hank, Tinder is SO you".
Yes, yes it is.

My advice is...try another opener haha.
This opener is good because it shows right away who's DTF, but if I used it on everyone, I wouldn't have gotten meet-ups with some sexy chicas. Direct is good. But with my sample of 10-20 "Spit or swallow?" I only got a few convos, and from there, only met up with one.

Exactly what I did with the "look like you need a good hard fuck" line, you can only use it so much
Damn I fucked up.
I had a sexy cheerleader who was really into Irish guys and was really keen to meet when I got back to town. All I had to do was wait.
Instead I sent a high risk sext message to her after seeing a hot cheerleading pic her mum had post.
Except I clicked on her mums name and not hers. So her mum got it. FB and Tinder blocked. Whoops.
I tend to go high risk a bit too often. I get bored and want to go 'all in'. Plus I have a few solid girls in rotation already so I don't have the patience for a 100 messages with every match.
Just opened up a chick that I haven't spoken to for almost a month. We actually met on tinder.
How should I respond without playing into her frame? Should I completely ignore her comments and go onto something else? Also does her responce mean she's uninterested or is it just a shit test?

I've really noticed this has gotten a lot worse. A year ago this was shooting fish in a barrel with 7s and 8s popping up everywhere. Now it's like only 1 outta 10 girls is attractive and I'm convinced the algorithm is broken. I used to get consistently 5-10 matches a day now it's 1 if lucky.
