For those talking about Hinge - the quality of girls on there is generally diabolical, judging by what I've seen in London.

I got 3 lays off there. One was a dancer with a prime body but busted face, the other a plain looking 19 year old uni student who let me rawdog her inside of 20 minutes and a girl with a pretty face who catfished me.

I'd rate it very poorly compared to tinder and bumble in terms of female quality

Hinge is one of those apps you just have to give some time too, be patient with it.

Bumble has been on and off for me and I hear now that if you restart your profile, they track you better so after a day or two your results die because of that. It is like you have to wait a few months and then go towards making your profile all over again with a new FB account and brand new pics.

Any thoughts?

I've posted my success on Bumble - but one of the things I've noticed is that almost all of my matches are looking for relationships. Moreso, it seems like a lot of girls on there are looking for relationships. Anyone sense the same from their experiences?

I'm in the notch-building phase of my life once again so definitely not working out too much for me

I reinstalled after reading this and you're right, I had a bunch of messages and matches waiting for me. Got several conversations going right now with chicks that seem down.

The odd thing about hinge that others have already stated is that the average age seems to be higher, and there's less middle of the road chicks than other apps, most are hideous with the occasional hottie in the mix.

But even the ones who I met up with...literally almost 100% wanted relationships.

Tinder, on the other hand, is known for being grimy and any girl on there is way more likely to hookup

I'm in NYC and the matches on Bumble have fallen off big league. I was killing it on this app in late 2017/early 2018 with tons of matches.

To no avail, I've also experimented with creating a brand new profile. Reuploading a new main pic (that was cropped or edited slightly) no longer works.

The only strategy to bring in a surge of new matches is to deactivate my profile for a few days, reactivate- then upload a new photo.

Do you mean do snooze mode or delete your account and remake?

Snooze mode (i.e. when you go away for a weekend and reactivate upon returning).

I've also deleted/started up new accounts. This only provides an initial bump.

I'm just average looking and I'm Indian too. The majority of my matches are white women, and a few Indian/Asian sprinkled in there.

If you are getting 10-20 Bumble matches a day (even in the easy online market of NYC), you are above-average looking. Fact.

Crash_Bandicoot is right here. They don't "all say that". There truly are more relationship-oriented girls on Bumble (and even MORE on Hinge/Coffee Meets Bagel).

If you are getting a lot of relationship matches you might want to take some photos to cultivate a more badboy look. If you PM me your profile I can give you some tips.

Post: #436

I hadn't been on bumble in a couple days and I got a notification that I had a new match. So I check her out and her first photo is her and a girl that I had previously gone on two dates with off bumble. She definitely didn't have that photo up when I swiped.

How do I proceed? Do I mention my previous dates with the friend?

Post: #437

Did you bang her friend?

You could use that as social proof somewhere along the line but I would not lead with it. If you hook her probably use it after, preferably mid way into the date. Chances are they're not good friends anyway, women don't have reap friends. They usually have 1 co-dependant idiot friend that even they don't know why they're friends with then every other girl is an aquantence that comes in and out of their lives on a whim it's a different eco system.

Depending on your vibe and how well that date goes it's a risky strategy. Keep it in your back pocket and game as usual

Post: #438

Never banged the friend. Had a good first date that I only could get a make out from. I pushed for the SNL but couldn't get it. On the second date the vibe just seemed off and I was seeing a lot of red flags that I didn't notice on the first date. I ended it politely after a couple drinks and never called her again.

Good to know my thoughts were the same. No reason to bring it up. My only concern was that somehow they would talk and it would look bad on me for not bringing it up first. Probably just my ego thinking I'm a bigger deal than I am.

Post: #439

You can always feign ignorance like you didn't recognize the other girl or say "ooohhh I wondered if that was her. Your friend was cool but we just didn't click, she was nice though" I wouldn't speak ill of her at first. Girls know what "didn't click" "not my type" "no chemistry" means.

I doubt she'll bring it up first unless they are best friends, even then it would probably be a 2nd date thing.

Post: #440

I woke up this morning and saw that she had unmatched me before the 24 hours to message was up. Maybe they were best friends.

Oh well. On to the next one.

Distantly related thing happened to me lately. I got matched with someone who opened with "I could have sworn we messaged before". I'm pretty damn sure we didn't, but that threw me for a loop because:

1) Unless she thought I unmatched her, why would she match again with me?
2) By saying that she comes across as someone who is so flooded with interactions with guys that she can't even keep track of it. That may be true, but does she want to make me feel that disposable?
3) It delays actually having a real conversation, making it seem like jogging her memory is her only impulse, which is rude.

Bottom line is that women on Bumble have a really hard time knowing the right way to initiate a conversation. They seem entitled to start things off in a way that seems to convey that they're really NOT all that interested, defeating the purpose of matching in the first place. I'm not expecting an instant marriage proposal but come on, show me some proof you're truly interested in something other than a random throwaway casual chat.

There IS something to be said for the fact that there's simply a limited pool of singles in a given radius in which to match with. These people (me included) are serial daters who never lock anyone down seriously enough to disable the apps, or maybe, as per hypergamy, they have a policy of always keeping one eye open for new prospects no matter what their relationship status is. But like playing a game of Concentration I see the same faces over and over, and this has been over a span of years now. So if you mine online dating you can't really see it as an endless resource of new faces, none of which connected to anyone else.

So I have definitely heard of some stories of guys restarting their bumble account on this thread. I restarted bumble earlier this week and I found that if you use a facebook account that is connected with a deleted account, you will get nothing when you have restarted. I had to make a brand new facebook and then create an account off of that but I keep finding that for Bumble, after the first 24 hours the matches will generally die down.

Do want to plan ahead for the future, looking to move to NYC and get some new pics going so I can go hard in the first day I am there and start fresh again. I have heard the app has made it tough to do that since they actually track your cellphone now.

I've encountered the same observations you've documented. This app was fantastic back in 2017-- I used to get a plethora of matches in my sleep.

Not surprised. They used to have a notice right before an account deletion saying that deleted and then immediately recreated profiles would be shown to less potential matches.

Easiest way to reset is just to have two Facebook accounts that you switch between.

Since Match.com bought out Tinder it has become a junkyard and quality went downhill fast. I think they have added to much clutter and its even buggier that before.

You registered just to post this bullshit? Seriously?

There was no buyout to speak of.

Match.com has always owned Tinder. It was incubated in their startup incubator, Hatch Labs.

ITs not about effecting their standing with the app...Its about frame control and treating a misbehaving child the way they deserve. Time-out that chick
They've always turned responsive for me. Its classic rejecting a woman.
"Who does this man think he is that he doesn't have to suck up to me"
"I'm not spam let me prove it!!"

game accordingly

edit: hell yes it makes me feel better. the same way I can walk away from an attractive girl that isn't into it. Women are arrogant as fuck--it delights me to check them on their shit and leave them wondering why I can do that and other men can't

holistic as fuck

You realize women don't actually get notified when you report them as spam, right?
