I just upgraded to Tinder Plus to see what it would be like. Am currently in the U.S. Checking out a foreign city. I can't see how Tinder decides what part of your target city it picks its matches from.

What I mean is: suppose you're trying to pipeline in a very large foreign city. You want to try to match with girls who will be in the same general part of the city where you will be staying at. You don't want to match with someone 50 miles away where you will be at.

Is there a way to do this, or do you just whatever they give you? Is there a way to configure the GPS locator?

Try adjusting the distance as you would without using the gps component. It should find girls in that given range.

Actually it worked out great when I just typed in the address I'd be staying at in the foreign city. If you're using an Android device, do that instead of picking a city from the list they give you. It'll be easier to manage the pool of results...

Would you guys have done it?

I would have been in two minds to be honest but it is only GAME OVER when you unwittingly commit to mutton dressed as wedding day lamb.

Searched the forum to attempt to make sure this wasn't posted already, so apologize if this is a repeat, but:

Think of a Tinder moment that you make like a mass-picture ping to all of your matches. Make sure it's non-needy and fun. For example, if you rode one of those public bikes they have in many cities these days, you could snap a picture of them, and insert some text, like "Rode one of these today. Fun!"

One of my lukewarm leads reengaged ME with a question as a result of this. Curious if it helps others - hope it does!

Didn't know I had auto-renewal on Tinder Plus. Since its already paid, I'll just ride it out. Going to cancel it next month.

For somebody who visits a lot of cities, Tinder moments are a brilliant way to meet up with girls you have matched with in a non-commital, no pressure environment.

E.g. everytime I would go out in BKK I would post a picture of the Route 66 sign and just wait for girls to message "OMG, I'm here too" bla bla bla.

Also use moments to work out who is where. I got sex once because a girl was at a shopping mall literally 200m from my Condo. "Bring me some hangover food"

I've noticed also with the most recent Tinder update they are now mixing up the profiles so it is no longer the most recent in descending order. This messed up a critical part of my swipe routine to only swipe until they read about 1 hour ago. Supremely annoying.

Just downloaded the tinder 3rd party extension. Brings up my tinder on desktop. Did the same for whats app. Definite must have if you use tinder at work. Cant always be looking at phone the whole time.

Post: #4185

Haven't seen attention whoring on this level yet in my local area.

Every other picture was with a shirtless guy she banged.

Post: #4186

^^ Wow....she...um, yep. Why though?

Post: #4187

I'm finding at least 50% of my matches will unmatch if I don't send a message within 5 minutes. Sucks, I prefer to swipe throughout the day & chat once I have nothing better going on. Now I only hop on Tinder when I have the time for smalltalk. I've been burned countless times switching over to and responding to an email.

Post: #4188

I made three profiles over the last few days for some testing on Tinder. All three just got shut down today within a few minutes.
I was using Gmail to back the accounts, an app called burner for creating a fake number to verify them and then starting the FB account. I was then adding friends randomly from just searching different groups. I am guessing my IP is now flagged with Facebook for creating several fake accounts.

Anyone have any reliable way of making a fake tinder/facebook that doesn't get shut down so fast?

If this is true, it also means the tactic of being regularly active on Tinder to get on top has been neutralized. My guess is Tinder Pro buyers get on top.

This is yet another reason to keep Tinder (and online dating) as an afterthought, compared to in-person Game. Middlemen in dating will almost always try to extract as much in tolls as they possibly can.

Matched with a really hot 28yo Asian this morning. We messaged back and forth for a while and I went for the number. She gave it to me without objection and after a little more messaging we have this exchange:

Me: Texting is good for basic chit chat but I believe the best way to get to know someone is in person. Let's meet up for a drink, when are you free?

Her: I get that and I agree but it's too quick for me. Have a great day

I always test the waters first, do some basic BS how's your day, what are you doing where you live, how long, ever traveled ?

Build up some basic comfort and SMV, then I pull the trigger on asking evening schedules, then solidify logistics and date/time.

Fuck even give her a call, since you're "driving" or whatever. It's way easier when you're on the phone, I get tired of the texting bullshit.

It helps not scare the cat, and I'm literally doing the texts on break or on the shitter.

Post: #4192

You're right @kaotic and we actually did BS over text for quite a while. I ran the exact same strategy with this one that I did all other online girls. I get one of these maybe 3-5x a year. She's just a time waster and had no intention of meeting me.

If that's so then yeah, she's just in it for validation.

Plenty to go around unfortunately.

Kaotic I think you might be on to something

My text and online messaging game sucks, I find it really difficult to not be bored out of my mind and bore her as well

In person though and on the phone I feel like I'm on fire recently, so I just try and move it to arranging a date asap but it fucks up even after like 10+ messages back and forth sometimes.

I got girls right now on my phone and online who I can't be bothered to even try to game at the moment cos I can't build much comfort or friendship or anything through text or online message and I've already had lame conversations about the gym, uni, pets and stuff with them, the thought of trying to do that again fills me with dread, but at the same time hitting them up asking about their evening schedule isn't going to work either.

Help me kaotic!!! what am I doing wrong and what should I do instead?

I ask them out on the 2nd message. I still get rejected and radio silenced but who cares, at least this way I waste zero time on uninterested chicks.

I remember a mid-20s white 6-7 Atlanta girl that one of my buddies used to bang pretty much confirmed this. Pretty sure she brought it up randomly to imply a high SMV: "I don't take Tinder seriously" = "I'm on Tinder for validation"

Probably a good idea in light of the above, I'll have to try this. I had been using the same text game I used for in-person numbers, but even here in Poland as a Mexican-looking foreigner, I get a lot of time-wasters.

Post: #4197

I haven't paid much attention to my matches as of late. I probably go through the list and drop them all. I believe I've pinged a few a month ago and haven't heard anything.

This is a very interesting observation about the middlemen. It just happens, I thought about it today as well. All online types of dating involve someone who tries to bill you and/or make you watch you stream of ads (I think some algorithms as well decide which profiles are presented to you). Night game isn't much different - you enter a venue of which its owner wants you to spend money on the door and/or for drinks and other extras. It looks like day game is the only "pure" way to interact one-to-one, where the only cost is your time.

Don't forget about social circle "Game" as well.

I keep putting it in quotes because it's not the most popular flavor here, but I figure if it's done as methodically as normal Game, it can qualify. I also refrain from listing examples because it may come off as promotion. Google is your friend.

Observation: I started up on Tinder two weeks ago for the first time in about 10 months. I'm shocked (seriously shocked) by the number of girls with photos of their dogs, talking about their dogs, and treating their dogs like children.

I like dogs, but jeez, all these bitches are so delusional replacing humans with animals as primary companions in life. It would not be far off that 40% of profiles I go through there is at least 1 picture of a dog.... Am I alone on this observation?
