So people will say I'm humble bragging but here is how tinder works for me.
I add 4 photos - one full body photo and maybe one selfie, and then I will add two more pictures of me in social situations.
On my profile I will write:
looking for a relationship with someone intelligent and quirky.
likes: travel, reading, film, sports, eating carbs, and seeing friends.
Results:
Short term....
I probably get around 20 - 30 matches out of 100 (I swipe realistically; if someone is a super model I don't even try).
I chat to maybe one in ten of them.
If we meet for a date then there is an above 80% chance we will f*** within 2 weeks if I'm into them (I rarely f*** on first dates because its too awkward for me).
(interestingly my friend who is maybe a 5.5 or a 6 gets laid from tinder at least once a week - but he has zero standards in terms of looks)
Over the years....
Slept with around 25 women from who I met on tinder and pof (maybe 10 from real life situations) and this is from the last four years of active dating (and had one long term relationship in between). Probably had around 60 or so tinder first dates. And maybe around a 100 dates (give or take) or the last 10 years.
Main factors:
Looks; I'm decent looking (maybe 6.5 in the face), 5'10, athletic, and dress well (could rate anywhere between a 6 and a 7).
Social skills; average. Can hold a decent one on one conversation with intelligent people. I'm awful in group situations and struggle to talk to people who aren't into books, art, politics and so on. (side note: I'm a natural introvert but can function like a normal person for the most part)
Final comment
Not sure if any of this information is helpful, but I noticed nobody responded and I figured it may be interesting to know how it is for someone who is successful with tinder.
