However, I realized what kind of beast Tinder is and the man you need to become/show you that you are to dominate that app. The girls are all taking turns fucking the top guys on the app for sure. For me I think pro pics are gonna be mandatory and I HAVE to get my body right if I鈥檓 gonna do well in my target demographic.
I got fashion nailed to a T since I鈥檓 in the business and I can demonstrate a pretty interesting lifestyle since I travel between countries with regularity but I don鈥檛 have my body/face dialed in correctly and on top of pro pictures, this is what is holding me back.
For all the guys complaining, I believe there is a way to kill this Tinder thing. No one said it is fair but if you maximize yourself and value through pro pics I think it can be done.
I think I鈥檓 50% closure on girls I meet from Tinder. (my biggest problem is initial attraction) I can only imagine what will happen if I can get off my ass and do this thing right.

Is it possible that that tinder limits number of right swipes not just for men but for women as well to a certain limit per day?
Is it possible that people get fewer matches since women swipe less compared to the days before Tinder gold or plus due to the women having fewer right swipes?
We all know women will never pay for this app, so if they have limited swipes, they will only selectively swipe right to chad high elo score who gets shown first and hence fewer matches to average joe beta at the bottom of the deck.
If women had unlimited right swipes, then it could be a solution to the problem, since they will swipe on more joe betas if chad high elo score ignores her (which he will) since chad has 1000 matches, naturally she will swipe more when she is ignored since she has more right swipes and at least joe beta can get an in to run his text game.
Currently, chad ignores her for 24 hours and after 24 hours she has free right swipes again to swipe a new chad while joe beta doesn't even get shown to her.
If you extrapolate this to all women , then we can see the problem

There is a simple easy way to hack ELO score which I've used many times. I might even want to t take credit for inventing the method as I shared it in the PWF facebook group in 2017, but then again it's not so incredibly original that someone else can't have thought of it as well. Anyways I called it the bait & switch:
1. Create a profile on tinder with your name
2. Use pictures of a male model; I used David Laid and Miroslav Cech
3. Just leave your profile out on tinder in your area for a week
4. During this week, you will be swiped right like 200-300 times
5. As a consequence your ELO score is sky-high
6. Now, before you start swiping yourself, you switch to your own pictures
7. Voila, you now have a high ELO score AND 200-300 matches stacked up
... But if only it really was this simple. In practice literally 30-50% of my matches just straight up unmatch me either immediately or after the first message. Most of the rest still just doesn't respond.
It's not about having a high ELO score and not being seen. It's about not being the top 0.0002%. All the qualms I mentioned before in my rant post are still there; no matter what I do I'm still a 6.5-7 based on my pics (which aren't even that bad as others here have confirmed), and as a consequence I get put in this weird conversation purgatory that Sender talked about as well.

Go to Top Picks. Message girls on IG direct. Then left swipe. Most never bother answering back on IG or Tinder. So at best a waste of time. At worst I waste super likes and lower my ELO score.

Other annoying thing I noticed is half the top picks are obvious escorts and catfishes. Looking good but too sexually suggestive posing with their line or wechats as the only description.
So basically 99% of got girls ignore you on Tinder. Half of them being escorts. Gee thanks tinder. So glad I paid extra to see more hot prostitutes and attention whores.
Tinder is fine if you鈥檙e better looking and willing to date down a point or two. But even that can take a lot of time swiping.

I wouldn't recommend giving "super likes" on hot girls who know that they're hot. You are not gonna stand out with a "super like" to a hot girl anyway, she'll get lots of them anyway from thirsty guys and it won't set you apart anyone else. You're just feeding their egos and they'll just think they're above you.
But it can work on that girl who is seen as a 6 by the general society but just happen to be your type or some chick who looks more innocent and lives in the countryside and is more likely to not have her ego crashing through the roof.

But meanwhile people in my category get in this weird place where these chicks need to talk to you for like 2 weeks straight with daily entertainment before they want to meet you. I think I find that aspect of tinder the worst of all, the fact that when you are an OK male, it means you don't get to use tinder for what it's for, instead you get to participate in a fucking conversational tight-rope act where one single misstep means it's game over.
I'm having a similar experience. My conclusion is the girls are either a) keeping the conversation open because they're trying their luck with other guys they consider better value and see me as an inferior second option or b) have been pumped and dumped too many times and are now screening viciously.
One solution is perhaps to try and target 'new users' which I'm noticing is possible on many of the apps with the right method. I'm experimenting with this atm.
(I've also asked Corsega to help me get my profile in better shape which he has been kind enough to agree to.)
It's clear to me after joining RVF that these apps have had a seriously devastating and pervasive effect on gender relations, particularly in the west. If Tinder was ever to reveal it's user statistics, I suspect many people are in store for a cultural shock. STD rates, for example, are already on the rise. In fact, it feels so significant that I wonder if anyone has yet theorised a causal link between the growth of the manosphere and inceldom with the rise of Tinder?
But there's no point complaining about it. These apps work like a drug and the addiction isn't going away any time soon. Overall, if you're not getting the results you want (once you've maximised your profile) you just have to accept it. Either drop the standards of the women that you're willing to bang and/or focus on other game syles.

Those are actually pretty good rates, given that you actually only had 50 elligible matches as opposed to 500. A 1/5 response rate is not bad, and a 1/3 conversation rate to date is actually pretty good. I've rarely had girls flake though, that might be less of a cultural thing here.
***
But anyways I'm curious about you guy's text game. The ratio's will always be around a 1/3 response rate and a 1/5 conversation to date rate, but I'm wondering what you guys are actually saying to the girls in text, or how many responses you tend to exchange and over what time period?
Being an OK-looking guy, like a 6.5/7 I get the sense I'm being put into a weird conversational purgatory where girls expect me to have a conversation with them over the course of a week+, and also to never have a single awkward thing said during the entire time. For the last 2 years I've found it increasingly harder to strike the perfect balance in conversation and I feel like I'm acting more and more beta because whenever I make too much of a forward proposal I will get ghosted rather than rewarded for making a bold move.
It's really confusing to me and I'm wondering if guys are in the same pattern. I've literally had over 20+ times, when I got a girl to actually respond to a text and have a conversation, (so that's like 1/4 out of a pool of 80 matches), where it all follows a similar pattern.
1. Tried and tested evocative opener > Get response
2. Bit of boring questions mixed with some tried and tested lines > Get interest
3. Make a quick proposal to meet > Get immediate radio silence or a rebuff
4. Sometimes I'll ask what's up (pointless obviously) and it's like > "I first want to have a FUN conversation with someone blabla / I don't know you yet"
I'm at a loss nowadays what the fuck is supposed to qualify as a fun conversation? And why the radio silence when proposing a meet up while that's what the app is designed for in the first place.
I can fully accept and understand that because of my looks-based value I'm classed in a different category than Chad. But I just don't get what kind of category this is supposed to be and how I should deal with it.

Even slightly above average girls are racking up thousands of followers on Instagram, and they don't know how to handle all the male attention. I know this to be true because I've had girls follow me and still ignore my DM's, not even reading them. If they don't open my messages, they must have hundreds more jamming up their phones.
Maybe it's my game, maybe not. Either way I'm emphasizing IRL game more than ever now.
