I watched that a while ago, and it would be useful to about .0001% of the players using tinder. His advice was to play up the fact that you are from another country and talk with an exotic accent.
Granted, what he is saying is true, if you talk with a cool accent, women in america will spread their legs for you with very little resistance.
I'm in Dublin for a few days. Pros: matching with every girls i swipe right. Cons: i'm swiping right on girls i would never swipe in London just to get matched.

I think it was a good video. Obviously, your variables will be different from his, but there are some good takeaways in the way he opens and keeps things moving forward, and he analyzes step by step what he did and what the psychology was behind it, which can be useful in any online/texting situation. This can be particularly difficult in Tinder because the girl has so little written in her bio that it's hard to come up with openers that don't sound spammy.

Looks like it uses your friends and likes to match people with similar interests...
Anyone just set up a quick FB account put up a few pics and start swiping?
Just wondering the results from doing that versus going through the entire process of creating a new page and spicing it up again.
All it does is pull your data from facebook for your tinder profile. It doesn't match people by interests, it's purely by location. I've had matches with girls I have no mutual friends and no mutual interests, we just happen to be in the same area and both swiped right to each other.
So yeah you could set up a facebook profile and just throw some pics up.
Although it's disappointing the lack of people on the app, I haven't even reached 50 girls swiped, I'm probably at 35~ with 6 matches. It takes a couple days for new people to show up.
Now I know Tinder seeds the site with fake photos. I see a girl that was pretty cute and right-swipe. A couple girls later, that same girl comes up and I think she was a different age.
I have no other way of explaining why there are so many 7+ girls in my area on Tinder, but when I go on OKC or POF they are mostly atrocious. Tinder must have a bunch of bait on there. If that's the case though, what's the legality of doing that? Do these girls know their pics are being used in fake profiles?

Speakeasy, it is possible that she deleted her account, changed her age on Facebook and then redownloaded the app. I have done this myself. I think that the main reason why there is more talent on tinder, is that you scroll through more profiles quicker, and its easier to set up, so younger, hotter people use it.
I just set-up mine and I had a 9 match-up. Got her number. Visiting from San Francisco. And then nothing. Radio silence. She gave me her number. I'd say 1/3 of girls on Tinder are legit. 7s, but on OKC and POF, it drops down to 1/10. Atrocious quality on there.

For my city 85-90% are legit, I shit you not. That's why I can't understand what the hell is going on.

I don't think I'm getting matched with fake profiles, I doubt anyone is. I think they're just there to entice guys to keep using the app. I've only been on one date even though I must've yessed well over a thousand girls at this point. I'd say of the girl's I've yessed, I'm getting like a < 1% match ratio which is terrible. Even after changing my age to 28. Sometimes girls will respond and we have a bit of back and forth that goes well and then radio silence.
You can tell its a fake profile easy. The girl will only have one or two pics and it will be of low quality and blurry. Tinder has to make money some how. They sell fake profiles to bot/cam sites and to media companies to shill movies and TV shoes as I got a match for that brown Mindy broad on her show on Fox once.
Tinder is just used by a purely young demo that is more concerned about vanity. Uglies and fatties have to check themselves because the reality is whales and fuglies wont get many matches. Tinder is all about volume. I've had probably 150 matches + in my time using it, but you have to be aggressive in swiping. I swipe right at everything with the odd left just to make sure the algorithm doesn't sense anything on me. You start incrementally going through all girls from one mile in and then work your way out. It took me in the start about 2 days of swiping through during class to max out all my girls in like a 3miles radius. Once you do that you log off for a few days and let them computer do the rest for you. It will hedge your matches near the front once you sign back in and the first 4-8 girls will be automatic matches. The downfall is that you patten your locations of typical points. You are usually in familiar locations such as home, work, school, etc and the algorithm gets used to that and will delay matches for you. You get the most out of Tinder when you are in a new location it does not recognize and you logout from their so it locks that location for you for your next matches and then when you sign back in you will get matches from that new area you were in. If you find yourself in a new part of town or in a suburb your not familiar with one day then make sure to lock your location down to make new matches more easy to attain.
As far as getting them in bed past the match faze that is still a tough nut to crack. In 200 matches I have had only 5 meetups which is a bad ratio. The summer and tourist season works better over winter I find.
You have to logout often though. The algorithm does not recognize and lock your location until you do so. You can be all over town one day and still be swiping through bitches from the radius near your home. Be realistic with your radius also, look on a map of how far you would be willing to travel for pussy and keep yourself in there. You will get floods of matches from bitches in random places because girls in far small towns will be more willing to keep a high radius just for the sake of a attention if you don't adjust that radius. Sometimes Tinder will throw you odd balls of girls from far the fuck away but just game or block them.
Make multiple profiles. Whom cares if you recycle pictures. Girls are to oblivious to it. I have two, one is really me while the other is fake and just has ad and shirtless pictures but both have my face pic. I've had bitches whom have matched me for both but were stupid to even realize I was the same person if they simply compared face pictures.
I think the fake profiles are probably girls who have deleted their accounts but Tinder probably keeps using their photos since everyone is matching them.
I think it's a good way to keep people interested in the app.
I have hundreds of Tinder matches, and finally, a handful of meetups.
Going from Tinder match -> meet up is the hardest part for me.
Txt game is the weakest part of my game. But I am 100% dedicated to cracking the code. It's forcing me to run lots of txt game.
So far I have tried;
1. txting my phone number on the first message. About half txt me back, but it doesn't get me any closer to meeting up in person. The txts can be through regular txt or through the tinder app. It doesn't seem to affect responses.
2. Calling the girls. This has been terrible. 90% never answer, nor call back. I've tried 50% with and without leaving a voice message. Women 27+ still prefer phone calls, but under 27 it's still all about txt game on Tinder. Girls from regular online dating website are more likely to answer the phone and have a real conversation first.
My current thinking to get girls in person off Tinder with consistency, is to invest at least 1 hour + of lazer focused txt game.
In any case, Tinder won't be on top for long. It has hot girls now, just like Myspace and Facebook did in the early days. Like hot new clubs, social media channels have short shelf lives. The next big one will incorporate video greetings & messaging, to communicate the critical body language, tonality, and vibe. "at first sight" already does this, but it's buggy and they don't have enough users yet.

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.
precisely what i was thinking, the travelling angle. foreign city, new chicks

I was spamming out "Bring me some pizza" "Extra cheese please" and "I want delivery not Digorno" during my conversation with 5 or 6 girls.
I then get one and I say "Bring me some pizza"
She says "Let me guess... Extra cheese and delivery not digorno?"
hahaha I bet they are all hanging out doing tinder on each others phones trying to bust dudes like me.
Edit: I also just got an apparent fake. Fairly attractive girl messages me "Poke" "Hey babes" before I even sent her one message.
it would seem to be the rule of thumb is, if the person messages you, and they're more points higher than your photos are, its probably going to be a fake.
unless they're drunk and horny. in which case, thats gold jerry
