I was going to suggest this as well.

Delete the ap, re add it, but use different photos.

I would also suggest making an okcupid account, and using the program 'your best face'. It will show your photos to different women and they will vote on which ones are the nicest. Then use those photos on tinder.

Tinder is fantastic, I love the quality of the women I am getting matched with.

I have way way more losses when I start with the opener, or shortly thereafter - I have chicks loving my first line and then I respond, and then never hear back from them. I know my lines are solid, but they just stop responding sometimes. One girl recently scheduled to meet up with me, and then couldn't ostensibly due to work and now won't even talk to me. Maybe her car tire goes flat one day and cockblocks you from ever meeting her because she immediately moves on - girls are that flakey. So I say strike while the iron's hot, while you're still a novelty.

I wouldn't advise the same with OKC, unless she's sending you short quick messages.

I've fucked five or six girls off Tinder so far.

As I said, I can totally understand that you want to keep using what is working for you. but so far the biggest hurdle for me was getting them to give their phone number, even if they like my opener and think I am funny etc, they just often go to radio silence when I ask for their number a lot of the time. If I ask for their phone number, and they don't give it but keep talking, then I know I am close and they just need a little more convincing and they eventually cave.

I just started on tinder about 5 days ago, have a couple of dates lined up for the weekend, one is lukewarm and I think she will likely flake, one seems really enthusiastic about meeting up and I will just have to run "don't fuck up" game.

I deleted and readded tonight. Had stopped getting matches after a week. Put up a few fresh photos. Matches started rolling in again.

Can anyone confirm if tinder works with a throwaway facebook that had 0 friends.

Post: #533

One match and she never replied.

It keeps on saying no more matches but shows more sometimes. I dont get this app.

Maybe increase your search radius? I use 15 miles for los angeles and have swiped on thousands of girls and it keeps showing me new ones and giving new matches.. For houston, maybe 25 or 30 miles? No idea what will work in your area.

The max is 100, I tried that a little just to see the girls from san diego and santa barbara, but none of them are going to put their search radius that high(I am guessing most put their radius at like 10 to 30 miles?)

Someone was saying you need 10 friends for the app to work, someone else said 50, but I am pretty sure it won't work with 0 friends.

Just hung out with a good girl friend of mine and she told me she just got a Tinder this weekend. Seeing Tinder from the girl's perspective is like a whole different world. As you can imagine for a cute girl within 48 hours of getting tinder she has about 2 dozen matches if not more. Almost all the guys message her too.

Now pretend you're a guy messaging a girl like this. How can you separate yourself from these other guys? First, you need to get her to "swipe right" on you. While she by no means represents all women, I took a few notes:

1.) Pictures: Use all 5 slots and have them be the best pictures you can possibly find. They should have you looking good and doing something fun.
2.) Tagline: Don't waste this space. Think of something witty or something impressive/interesting you're doing or have accomplished.

That's pretty much all you can do to get her to swipe right. She's not going to spend a whole lotta time analyzing you. If you're good looking you're set, and being interesting helps.

3.) Message: You guys here know better than to send a lame message. Send something witty and fun, but not too stupid. A cheesy pickup line may work.

Also, this girl really has no intention of banging any of these guys. It's more of a tool for vailidation for these girls seeing how many guys they can get to like them and message them. Keep that in mind. Don't get discouraged from game and then log on Tinder hoping to get lucky. It won't happen.

Agreed on all of this. Ive been flaked on 3 times in 3 days from tinder women, and I am surprisingly not even phased. They struck me as have never tried any sort of online dating and getting them past the point that they would actually want to meet up seems like a big hurdle. Even babe ruth went 0 for 3 some times(and i am not the babe ruth of dating, just saying, 0 for 3 shouldn't be a big deal to anyone)

They might start off with no intention of meeting up with any of the guys but if they try the app out and meet you and think you are funny and attractive, you ought to be able to get past that, and they just need a little more convincing.

Thanks for reminding us of the women's perspective on this app.

Yea absolutely. I actually just got an OKC account a few days ago, but am already considering deleting it. The quality is abhorrent, especially compared to Tinder imo. OKC represents real online dating, Tinder is not.

I know people that have met up with girls from Tinder, but girls are not first and foremost looking to meet guys, validation comes first.

Met several girls through tinder, and my advice is still to get from tinder to whatsapp asap, then ask to meet after some comfort building.

Montreal is flooded with tinder honeys (7.5/8's+) . If anybody is in the area, I'd suggest going on tinder.

Post: #542

No luck, I've liked hundreds of girls and only got 2 matches. One girl was fake and the other never responded.

I'm really scratching my head here, since objectively I'm a pretty decent looking guy.

Post: #543

My first 2-3 days on tinder I got about 5 numbers and tons of matches. past 2-3 days hardly any. I just now deleted pics, renamed pics and re uploaded. If that doesnt work will delete account as others have said.

wonder if tinder has some type of stale pic algorithm

Post: #544

So wait, deleting your account resets your profile?

yes definitely. all of those girls will see your photo again. if they didn't like your original pix, they might like your new pix.

Same here. Got 1 match (fake) after tons of likes.. even liked way below rated that I would never touch, just to see if tinder works.. No match.

I was addicted to Tinder when it first came out. In fact, I think some of those "matches" were fake, just so we would get excited about the app and our prospects. Anyhow, I still occasionally get matches (maybe 20 lifetime in a month), but I've only met up with one gal. I don't really try that hard with messages though. I send one and that's it.

But here are some tips on how I started getting more matches. First, I had what I thought was a great profile pic, just me. It was like crickets for days. Heck, I even started to swipe unattractive girls, just so I could feel good that I was "matched"! Surprisingly, it still wasn't happening.

Then, I went with a shirtless beach pic (since I do work out!) and that got some ticks going again, but the match girls would be hit or miss on the responses. Finally, I went with a shirtless pic, with a hot girl I used to date, and BAM, I was getting more matches and responses. I think it was a combination of them feeling better they were messaging a guy who can pull hot girls, who has a decent body, and bits of their own ego and insecurity from the competition.

Ultimately, I'm over Tinder. I will only swipe when I'm REALLY bored, which may happen at the end of my gym workouts, or while sitting on the pot for a marathon session.

SVB:

This is an interesting point about the pic with the hot babe, and causes me to wonder about guy's practices with pictures in terms of how recent they are and/or if guys use pictures that are NOT accurate representations of themselves... for example 10 years earlier.

I would think that pictures within the past 5 years of so would be fair game, so long as a guy's appearance has NOT changed very much. But, ALSO, I understand that many practices are "fair" in game, and in that regard, if it works to accomplish a guy's objective(s), it works and maybe that is the measure that should be used.

Guys,

One thing I've found is that having a unique name gets girls interested (at least in the DC area).

So, for example, instead of Brendan have your name be the Irish Gaelic form of it: Breandán. Obviously this works even better if you have Irish background. I do something similar for my Anglicized Irish name, and I always get asked about how to pronounce it. It's just a way to stand out when there's only your name and a few pictures.
