Profile is everything. I recently switched over to something new. I was always getting steady matches. Now I'm getting better looking women and even attractive girls open me up. Get the # after 4 messages or less. After that, any success rate goes way down. Once you get the number, wait a day or two. That open text is key. "Ali, this is Gibby the tall attractive man from tinder" spin that any way you want but you come off DHV of yourself and the girls usually qualify themselves right back at you. I have more success tips, PM if you any of you are really struggling with a good profile description of yourself.

How this for a bio? I actually ripped this off from another poster with some modifications lol:

"6'0" avid musican and snowboarder from (city). I'm that unicorn you've been looking for. Make a wish!"

The thing is...I'm actually in suit with a Unicorn mask on when I use that lol.

Oh darn, someone needs to photoshop a unicorn onto my profile pic!

Okay this one didn't go anywhere but I thought it was hilarious:

I hope further trolling ensued.

After she said sure you should have said, "Great you can be my plus-sized Cinderella."

Moments, nobody has any reason to complain about not getting the bang after the match. Women love three things, pics of sporting events, alcohol and the biggest one. Posting a pic of a weight room, I've done this twice. One with "chest day" and "arms day" 60 likes and many of my matches opening me up. Attractive girls opening me up. I've had 7 bangs, since moments took off two weeks ago. I had about 10 in 8 months before.

With moments, let that shit simmer. Wait till a girl likes a few of your moments, then send her a message. This has gotten me a handful of numbers/bangs.

Lastly go hard, once you show DHV. You can say pretty much lets fuck and she will be down for the cause.

I just started back up on Tinder and saw that Moments thing. Is it worth bothering with? I think it's lame that any dating sites are trying to add this Instagram type shit to draw in more attention whores. Seriously, all anyone needs are 3-5 good photos a blurb and that's it. Why do they have to add all this crap in there??

For guys using this, what has been your result so far?

Also, when I try to run the new Tinder on Bluestacks Android emulator for PC, it keeps crashing after I swipe a couple girls. Anyone else having this problem?

Ok Gibby is it safe to assume you're a huge muscular dude? Cuz if so, you probably don't even need tinder at all, but that explains the 60 likes. I see plenty of guys like that on Instagram getting hundreds if not thousands of likes and bitches flooding their comments with heart emojis.

If I sound bitter, it's because I am - I'd love to get big as well, but unfortunately I have a condition that prevents me from working out too heavy, so I have to skate by on the "artistic, intellectual look", which is far less interesting to girls.

I'd rather say: use it as snapchat - throwaway moment when doing something cool. Put the focus on the activity - as that's what it's there for.
It can be a conversation starter for girls who didn't respond previously (had that happen)

I would have never expected this from someone with a nickname "thegiant"

7 bangs in 14 days? Want to break that down a bit more.

At the moment I noticed a lot of ex schoolmates on Facebook claiming to use this(with screenshots and/or anecdotes about their experiences). I am 17, and am sure they are younger than me. Is this app for under 18s? I was sure it wasnt, but meh. Thats the sad thing about being such a depressed shut in, I actually have no idea what people my age are doing at all or whats cool or not.

Stop identifying as a shut in.

You've been active on here, there's a lot of info as to how to be more social.

Either you take control or nothing changes, no one else can do it for you.

Put yourself out there and make it happen.

As the G would say, the rest is up to you...

I was using it as context to my post.(because otherwise I should be able to know the answer to my question, and to prevent confusion) I was not being self deprecating or anything.

In case this comment doesnt actually address what you were saying, I cant figure out tone, especially on the internet. Rereading and editing this, it might seem snarky, but Im trying really hard not to be.

I appreciate it if you said it in a helpful way(really, I do). I am trying to take control, slowly, but it is difficult.

If you said it in a judging way, then Id say I wasnt pathetic a few years ago. I know its repeated that you should have control over this kinda stuff and you should overcome it but its really difficult to. Its part of whats happening to me, but it isnt me if you get what i mean. I know it sounds like a cop out, but still.

Low energy/depressions hard especially when you are doing so many(health wise) things right but things still go horribly. I hold nothing against you if you were judging me but Id like not to be. It seems like an excuse but it is a lot harder for me to do things than other people and while I am working towards getting better Id like people to know where Im coming from.

And sorry about this derail, for anyone else.

I noticed that you've referred to being depressed and unsocial in a number of posts.

I'm not trying to be condescending, and obviously I don't know anything of your individual situation.

I just wanted to offer some words of encouragement on your journey.

17 can be a difficult, transitory age and one of the best things for going through it can be having peers in the same situation.

If you are depressed, I'm not qualified to comment on that but I would encourage you to reach out for help and support.

Let's say you've opened to a chick who didn't respond. Then she likes some of your moments. What do you do from there/any good re-opening lines?

-R

I take the moment they like, then reference it with something like "hmm so what you actually really like is... [insert whatever you're moment is about].. interesting"

Haha that's pretty funny. I did a gym moment and got just one like vs. one from my balcony kicking back, sipping white wine where I got 29 likes.

Moments has is just taking off here but I am looking forward to youngblood breaking it down for me.

Moment seems pretty gay or beta to me but I'm open to hearing success stories

I'm 6'4, in decent shape. Not photo gentic at all. Like I said earlier, before I switched up my profile. I would get matches, good amount but a lot of sifs and 2 out of 10 would be fuckable girls.

Few pointers, keep openers short. "Oh man" is a great starter for me. Keep your profile to 4 sentences. Be sexual in your profile, but not creepy. I use a mix of I'm bringing big fun, girls get that hint. Say you're an athlete even if you're not.


Me - "Oh man"
Her - "What?!?!"
Me - "You tall/blonde/short/ girls, love fucking/hooking up with us whatever sport you play"
Her - "Not going to lie/guilty/etc…
Me - We'll hang, give me your #

Thats the script, I've been using. Pulling numbers and girls know my intent. Before I switched up my profile, I would encounter shit tests when I asked for the #. Then I send one standard text. This is Gibby, attractive sports player from tinder. She responds, I wait a day or two, cold call. She answers, I get the meet up. If not, leave a voicemail, calling her out on not being spontaneous in a playful/fun asshole tone. I'll backburner her for a day or two, even if she calls back in 20 min. Day or two later, she doesn't want to miss out now. Secure bang and good to go.

moments is the bomb. i've used it a few times and always get reopened.

Anyone here ever use this in Brazil? I've been pipelining matches before I head to Rio tomorrow. Wondering what kind of openers or vibe I should use down there. I'm expecting the women to be more open to a laid back vibe rather than hyper-sexual. Thoughts?

How do moments work exactly? When you put a pic up and girls like/comment on it -- is it seen by all your matches? Because depending on that, it can be social proof/DHV or very bad. If you have, let's say 40+ likes or something, maybe girls will say "wow this guy is pretty popular it seems...hmm." -- but if you get 5 likes, maybe they'll think "wow, I'm one of only 5 girls he has matched on here? I don't know about this guy."

At the same time, if that is the case, you can check out HER moments and scope out your competition.

Does it work like that? Or is it more private? When you put up a moment, can all your matches see the other people who have liked/commented on it?

That will make or break my decision to put a moment up.
