I got back to my homebase and swiped for an extended period on both tinder and bumble. I got zero matches, whereas I would have had 10 last week.

That is incredibly depressing.

In addition to all of the problems I already deal with: health problems, bad hair, etc I also deal with this sh*t. I'm in a market which for whatever reason underrates me.

f*** my life.

I dont date betas i date mostly very dominate men.

men who are sensual enjoy eating pussy because its a way to control a woman and have power over her if you know what you are actually doing.

its like i love giving oral to a man i am into because its fun to watch how crazy they get

if you want tit for tat always then you dont really enjoy the fact you can get a woman off.

you are only worried about your turn.
I have no issues with licking a women, i enjoy giving her a 'lick it before you stick it' experience.

Not giving a women oral is a good way to end up hanging out with your hand after a few encounters. As Women are not into selfish men, regardless of how attractive you are. They will initially give you a chance, but if your methods don't change, then you will be left wondering why she isn't texting back.

I learned this early on, being the type of guy who gets off,and calls it a night. A womens tolerance to this will only go so far before she blocks you out entirely.



I dont give ugly chicks oral though. just let them blow me before I throw it in.

Shook, what if they have HPV and you don't know it. And then you get throat cancer down the line. I know a few men that this happened to and one celebrity.

what if you make out with someone and get herpes?

If you are not going to go down on a woman you are intimate enough with to have inercourse because you are afraid of STD then you should abstain from any kind of contact until you both get full workouts.

Yes my home town. The best thing is the variety. Whatever you want you can find it there. White, Black, Hispanic, Asian,...clean, dirty...

How can you be sure that she doesn't have HPV? Does that even show up on an STD test or do I have to demand she get a pap smear done before we have sex? From what I understand, a woman can have HPV and it not even show up on a pap for years.

My sons' pediatrician recommends the Gardasil vaccination for boys as well as girls. Unfortunately, DH, this wasn't available to us when we became sexually active. I also know of a guy in his early 40s who died not too long ago of oral cancer that was HPV positive.

Has anyone else got lots of experience from tinder?

I'm thinking about making a thread specifically about the tinder algorithm and how to maximise results.

Would anyone be interested in reading about it.

Maybe just like this post if you want to see some research and discussion.

Yes, I'm very interested to suss out how it works.

I've signed up with the same pictures and one week I got 30 matches and then the next time I signed up I got around 10.

I'm pretty sure its not just about the images and that factors such as what time you use it, how many times you swipe right, and if you message your matches that affects how visible your profile.

At the moment i'm assessing all the variables and i'm trying to get anecdotal feedback from other forums.

If you're interested here is a great quroa article outlining how the algorithm works.

Some things that affect your rating negatively, unmatching, using the app rarely, blanket swiping right, not messaging matches, old account, old location.

Positively, using it often and at good times, messaging matches, being selective in your swipes (sometimes go in and view the profile), change your pictures.

Thanks, man. I had the sense that they were factors but I had no proof.

I kept swiping based on looks and then unmatching women who I found out had kids once I looked at their profiles. I soon realised it had kill my number of matches per day. Bastards.

*Sigh* Strawman much. If you're interested to know where I'm coming from, here's a link to the PDF of the book which has shaped most of my thinking: http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&ved=0ahUKEwiwgImbyv7RAhVLI8AKHV4nDzsQFggcMAA&url=http://uglatto.com/David_Benatar_-_Better_Never_to_Have_Been.pdf&usg=AFQjCNFatdVwdEcZfyovW9_BBagFNCGtwA . Read it and see what you think. Benetar puts the arguments against having children much better than I ever will.

@pjhair @David_MPN and every other user who thinks I'm a crackpot for my stance against procreation.

I've never discussed your stance against procreation.
