Bro don't let it get you down and boggle your mind. When many of us first started Tinder our matches were shit. Most of us got better pictures and better openers that led to better results. I used Tinder as a supplement only and realized that if I matched with a cute chick and she never responded that was a good thing because it showed me I could pull a cute chick like that in real life if I JUST APPROACHED!

I like giving advice and not empty replies sooo If you are dead set on using tinder, take about 100 photos over the weekend at random places, gym, starbucks, etc choose the best three and upload them. Also try the two truths one lie opener, response rate with that was like 80%. Also have two tinder accounts running at the same time, if any matches ask just say "tinder's been acting weird" Hope this helps.

Thanks for the tips man! It's nice to know some of you had the same issues. I'll take your advice and give it a try!

I agree with everything CD wrote.

It took me a while to figure out the right formula for Tinder. Don't beat yourself up about. Keep working towards your fitness goals and you will get there.

Besides, Tinder isn't nearly as popular as it once was. Lot of ghost accounts on there so it's not truly representative anyway.

The only real use I can see with this is to see if you get more prioritisation in their card queue. So if people could start posting their results with this please post your findings. I'd suggest using it on females you consider yourself better than for best results, the hot girls are otherwise probably going to get rinsed with this feature.

I thought that was a good idea, so that's what I did this morning and got a match within two minutes and she immediately responded to my message. Makes sense-if a girl who is a bit below you but still bangable thinks you're really into her, she's much more likely to be enthusiastic. As you said I wouldn't waste a Superlike on hot girls.

If you get a Superlike from a girl, she's already imagined your cock in her mouth, so proceed accordingly.

I'm meeting a girl tonight who is only in town for the weekend for a bachelorette party with her gf's. Not a bad looking hipster-dipster chick. She opened me up wanting to add a "serbian to her notch collection". I posted my profile bio a few pages back.

For those of you who are muscular at all and have a foreign angle, i'd recommend the direct approach in your profile bio. It's a time saver. I'm buttering another girl up as she is asking me about all the things i'd do to her. She sent me a picture of her vag afterwards.

May be meeting up with this 6 white chick, tomorrow for coffee (my idea). I want to make sure she's not a SIF before I'd go for something more. Its a cheap date and I may not have to spend much. If she flakes, I had other plans to fall back on.

Anyone have any luck using the super like as of yet?

Yes (but I'm in Colombia, so maybe it wasn't necessary)

Ive matched with 3 of maybe 5 super likes but haven't opened yet since I'm busy for awhile so if convo goes well I don't have the schedule to chase any of it up.

It might be prioritising you in her queue, it looks promising. Will update when I have the time to chase the leads up.

I actually banged the other girl. She came through and asked me to meet her at some bar she usually frequents and I went to her home. Nice rebound from the Monday disaster. I flaked on the bachelorette girl and tried to reschedule for tomorrow since she told me that "Friday is the pre-game partying, tomorrow is the real thing". She said "maybe". Got to put my penis inside two girls within a week off of Tinder. I'm pretty happy about it.

I've had 0 super like matches yet. In general my match rate has collapsed following a long period of structural creep since Tinder+ was rolled out.

This is despite my main picture being a semi-pro quality shot of me sailing a 41' yacht round the Canary Islands. This picture makes me appear will above an 8 but I am not getting matches with 6s with a stack full of shit selfies.

Just a little ditty...
I've been lamenting the death of Tinder... it's still amazing in places like Poland, but I'm traveling to many southern European countries that are not as "friendly". Until..:

Monday: Match. She just moved to this city from a smaller town nearby.
Tuesday: On and off Tinder chat, shift to WhatsApp.
Thursday night: She's drinking with friends, sends a selfie of her skirt and heels. Mentions she wouldn't be against having a drink with me when she's done (I'm busy, alas).
Friday: Set up date for Saturday.
Saturday AM: Cancellation (she has to go back to her town to get some stuff), immediate offer of rescheduling. I say "Okay, let me know when you're back tonight" and she just drops a "Oh, why don't you just come over to my place later?"

Sometimes, you don't even have to try...

Thanks for the tips man! It's nice to know some of you had the same issues. I'll take your advice and give it a try!

FWIW, I can second this. I've used it as a major supplement to day/night game in Central Europe. I had something like 30-40% of my bangs coming from Tinder during a 2-3 month streak. Those numbers are outliers and not sustainable but it depends on where you are; my pics are probably average at best but I stick out.

Most important things about tinder:

1. Have good pictures. Girls are very picky. No self shots. Use pictures with people, preferably GIRLS. Social proof is real. If your pictures say, "this guy is douchebag, but girls seem to like him," you're on the right track.

2. Always remember it is a supplement. The app could shut down any day. Who knows? You don't want to be left in the rain when you stop getting matches. Think of tinder as practice. Last year when I came out of my LTR my text game was definitely an Achille's heel. Tinder lets me practice joking with bitches and seeing what different girls/ages respond to. Even when I'm on the road I'll use it just to practice, especially on hotter girls.

3. Don't put too much time into it! It does not matter how long it takes to respond. Girls do not unmatch because it takes too much effort. If you can't think of something funny to say, don't say anything. Wait. Think of something. Then next time you're on the shitter, send it.

Really I could write about tinder for ever because so many guys go about it wrong. A good way to approach tinder (just like most things) is "What would a lame ass thirsty guy do?" Then do the opposite.

Or - as MiXX famously said somewhere on the forum - think "Would I date me? If I was a girl, what would I think?"

Meh, I don't feel like I look good in any picture really yet. I don't know, maybe I should put Tinder on hold until I look better physically. All it's doing is fucking with my head.

That's 90% of it.

I find my texting and messaging game is the best after 2-3 drinks, rather than sober. I'm much more playful, random, naughty and don't give a fuck. After 4 drinks it starts going downhill though.....

I don't have Tinder+ so I haven't been giving any Super Likes but I have received a couple. I swiped left on the first one because she was chubby and had those freaky fat hands that looks like a babies.
The other one was quite quite and I matched with her but when I opened her I got no response which I think is weird considering she Super liked me.

I've noticed a bug whereby my super like gets randomly used. Like without me even touching the screen, so that's why she probably never responded.

Its been happening to me to.... once to a short haired fat chick who I screen shoted her profile to send to my friends to laugh at... then I swiped left and the super like sent... it appears the jokes on me

I decided to delete Tinder for the moment. I was not having a good experience and it was messing with my confidence.

I will keep lifting consistently and maybe try it again when I feel I look better.

Be careful. Online game can do this if you are not having real life interactions. A RL male 8 is at most a 6 online.

Thanks man. I will keep that in mind.

Kali, I know how it is man. I'm wanting to do the same things sometimes, but I find that cold approach helps. Sometimes following the formula to a T, won't get you the results you want. Always have other ways of getting women.

Agreed with everyone above. I deleted tinder not because my results were bad this time around, but just because I felt I could do better with easier effort. I'd rather invest my time into a chick i actually had the balls to approach than some tinder rat with 500+ matches. Besides now that it's October, girls are looking to be laid up with a guy for the winter(cuffing season), approaching in real life now gives me better results than summer.
