Question with this app.
A lot of guys here talk about having skeletal FB profiles, but doesn't it match you with girls based on how social you are or the like?
At least that's what I've supposedly read. If you have a skeletal profile, won't you not get a lot of matches?
Probably gonna DL the thing soon. What do you guys suggest you put for the about you portion of the app or the like?

put your height and city.
To get matches, you need to select 'yes' to the woman's photo and she has to select 'yes' to yours, then it is a 'match' and you can message each other. It also pulls the pages that you 'like' so go into facebook and like 'yoga' and a lot of bands and films and tv shows that you enjoy because that can make it easier to start a conversation when you have similar interests
This morning I wake up and see that a pretty hot 24 year old sent me a message saying "wanna fuck?" She sent it at like 230am and I was sleep. My first thought is she must be a webcam chic, but she has like 6 photos and her instagram name. Looked up her instagram and she definitely lives in town and seems like a real girl, she's on OKC as well under the same name when I googled it. I hit her back up but no response as of yet. Interesting. Anybody ever have a girl come right out and ask for sex on here and not be a webcam chic?
I don't think you need to have any FB friends to use tinder. I set up a fake profile with my age 10 years younger. I can see girls in the searches. And my profile has zero friends. Am I wrong about this?

I still can't figure out if the search algorithm for Tinder is somehow connected to the number of FB friends you have. I set up a skeletal profile with a modified age. Used my own photos, but drastically lowered my age.
I am getting search results...but can't tell if they would be even better if my FB profile was better.
Maybe I should just use my regular FB profile, and just change the age. But if I do that, all my contacts are going to see it...and wonder what's up....

I already tried changing the age on my FB profile, deleting the app and re-installing and Tinder didn't change my age. So that's why I set up a new one. I didn't bother putting up interests and "likes" on my fake FB profile, that's just too much work and I'm not sure it would even make a difference.

I don't know, man. I think the "likes" you chose on FB really do factor into the equation. I read the Wikipedia article on Tinder, and it says that the Tinder app matches people "based on their FB likes and friends".
So, I'm interpreting this to mean that the algorithm uses both "likes" and "friends". I've already decided I'm going to friend anyone on my fake FB profile I'm using, so instead I'm just going to "like" a bunch of shit, like music groups, movies, etc.

I just resurrected a very old, highly-disguised FB profile solely for use with Tinder. I hadn't used it in 4 years. I deleted all friends, all likes and other bullshit - just a skeletal profile with a few photos. And Tinder seems to work.
No matches, but I'm not using it yet where I live - it's for when I go travelling.
This cute 22 y.o. girl just hit me up. Said she thought I was cute and all and we started messaging for about 20 mins or so. I kept it light, flirty and playful. It was going fine. Then after the 20 mins or so, I said that we need to hang out some time. Then instant radio silence. What do you do in that situation? Just cut my loss or is there a good way of re-engaging without seeming to eager?
Also, some chic sent me a message a few nights ago asking if I wanted to fuck, just right out of the blue. She wasn't a webcam girl, I looked her up by some information in her profile and she actually does live in town and I found her OKC account. I replied the next morning as I was asleep when the message came. She never wrote back. So I sent another message saying we should meet up soon and she instantly blocked me. WTF??

The Tinder messaging is buggy, and the girls are getting a lot of messages so just re-engage and try to get them on whatsapp or something.

You never know in any individual case - game principles. Don't get wrapped up on the one weird case - only if you get a pattern of girls asking to fuck and then radio silence.
Reason being there's a number of plausible reasons - what if her friend was on her phone and sent that message to 20 dudes? What if she was super drunk and dared to by friends, or just did it solo, and then didn't remember she sent it until you messaged her?
Plenty of potential reasons. Just try the next one. I got a couple bangs off of Tinder until I ended up with a girlfriend from elsewhere so I've not used it really. Plus, one of the girl's I met on there I was with for a month or so and she was super insecure and I didn't want to deal with the drama of "Oh, you're active on Tinder...". Blew up anyways but... tis the game.
Update, the 22 year old girl wrote back today, wants to hang out. We'll see if she flakes.

my last tinder experience was a disaster, I was seeing this girl for about a month, she was insane not krazy like most girls but clinically insane, out with the old and in with the new... now I'm chatting heavy with this 24 year old med student, she is a legit 8 or 9, we are going out this weekend... can't wait

I get that a lot after I take the girls off Tinder chat, move them onto WhatsApp Messenger and chat for a couple of weeks trying to build enough comfort for them to accept to meet up.
The last Tinder girl I asked out I had been chatting with for three weeks on Whatsapp. She first threw a fit because I asked her if she wanted to hang out on a Sunday (a day off). I took it with humour and said at least I wasn't offering her a Monday. Then I promptly asked if Thursday night was better. She said she would think about it. So Sunday at about 8 PM she asks if I managed to get another Tinder girl out, which was very disrespectful and immature. For which I replied, "Why, are you jealous?". Then she replied the next day "Lol, No, No." And then simply blocks me on WhatsApp AND Tinder. Psycho bitch.
And yes, when she messaged me on Sunday I was in the middle of a bang with a woman I had met the previous night in a club.

So how do you guys deal with the ultimate Tinder girl shit test? I'm talking about the one where she asks, "So what are you on Tinder for?".

To find my future ex wife
Same thing you are
Those are the two I usually use.
I'm semi in the boonies right now so not a ton of matches, but when I do it seems like most chicks in my age group are just using the app to boost their egos. Several of my friends from college have used the app in our college town and come across a lot more chicks down to meet up. IMO it seems like many of these girls already have their minds made up whether they're going to use tinder for actually meeting guys in person, but definitely worth using in cities and college areas.

I have similar experiences with other new users, I matched with two early on that fizzled, and a third was spam/fake. Now I'm probably on YES #50 and no new matches...
Plus the GPS accuracy on this thing is way off, I've seen people over 150 miles away so it obviously doesn't wait for a solid fix from the phone before showing chicks.
I'm not too impressed far. While there seems to be an endless stream of attractive girls on there matches are far and few. I must've clicked like on several hundred girls since last weekend and only have about 6 matches.

This is the system i've got going (i'd love some feedback !)
1. Spam every girl (i do within 30 miles of home) (10 miles of work)
2. Call them out on being a catfish or spam profile (challenge) OR say something funny or interesting about their bio or pics. No stupid "hi" "whats up" bs.
3. I usually try to close a number in less than 3 texts. Usually say "So before I ask for your number i need to know a few things" (I do a 3-4 question mini survey.) 99% of the time they respond, they actually seem into it. You respond back to their answers, try to get an IG out of it to confirm how good they actually look, get the number, take it offline.
Here's what I've noticed:
The amount of fat girls on Tinder is pretty intense (idk if that show low value for tho

)
Texting game is pretty easy, but it's hard for me to keep it short when I'm trying to build interest before the meet.
YOU WILL GET NO RESPONSES - after a few texts OR after asking to meet up.
I try to get them on the phone (compliance) and if I can facetime.
YOU WILL GET FLAKED ON prior to the date - either from lost interest OR their nervouse.
Maybe it's me but alot of the girls i've met banged seem -1 point less in person.
Tinder makes females lose interested FAST in a prospect when something better comes along (I'm TRYING to work on gainin/retaining interest part).
I'd love some feedback, suggestions, or critical analysis of what i've been doing.
Cheers !
Pardon me if this has been covered in the thread before, but do you guys fuck with the "about me" section or whatever?
I tried some cocky line and nothing for a week.
Today I put on some deep hamster feeding quote and got 3 matches by the time i got home from work

I've thought about using something short and sweet but for right now I just put my height and city I live in.
^^ yeah, I'm just experimenting right now so who knows, if I get more matches I might have something
Its kind of a "live laugh learn" "carpe diem" type of faggotry, but its not cheesy
I've been noticing though that 80% of the girls have pretty much exactly the same set of pictures and their pictures say a hell of a lot about them.
I'm pretty good looking (so I think, heh), but my pics are almost all selfies, and I think thats why I'm not getting my inbox blown up (though I have over 10 matches in a few weeks mostly chunkers)
They think I'm attractive, but that is not always enough. you have to show you have the height, the friends, the status, the love of other women etc. She has to know you're all around cool
Call it a hunch (or following game 101), but I think that having the same pics as girls will skyrocket your success.
The online persona a girl creates is what she wants herself to be, so if you basically mirror her you show her "look I'm just like you, we're a perfect match" you'll get a ton more hits.
SO in the case of my area I'd have a pic of me on the ski hill or at the top of a mountain I hiked. One at a party surrounded by hot sluts, one perfect selfie. one where I'm all suited up etc.
That coupled with the type of about me I have up (which by words mirrors who they are) would be like shooting fish in a barrel
The worst part about tinder though is that you have to still come up with a cool first message.
Even though she's attracted, you can't just say hi. you have to validate to her that you're what she thinks you are and hi just doesn't cut it

Same experience with me. Hot girls (which in my area seem to be almost all of them on Tinder) seem to have ONE selfie and the other 5 or 7 pics having them traveling through Europe or Skiing or at some remote beach.
At Facebook I have a policy of not changing my profile pic for at least a year, and having pics that actually shows only me, face visible, so that limits my profile pic choices on Tinder. Im going to create a fake profile with all my (very few) cool pics and using that one on Tinder.
So far I perhaps have swiped 500-600 girls, and have less than 40 matches. Not too bad, not all chunkers, but not the smoking hot 9s and 10s Im mostly swiping.
Im hitting the road tomorrow, so Ill take the chance to stage some cool photo-ops. I will google some cool, high end places and go there just so I can take a pic with me there.

In the business world these would be called LTO's - Limited Time Offers. Take it as a compliment, you made the cut of the first round of guys she propositioned, but some other guy wasn't asleep.
