I tried tinder and for me it was a time sink, also I honestly haven't found that many quality women on it.

Real life is more effective imo, but if you have good pictures and don't mind wasting time with all the flakes online, then it can be good too.

Wow ... Dave smith got 200 matches Jesus


My stats on tinder are about 50 matches and I've been on there for 2 months . Most of the matches I don't have conversations with and so far I've only met one girl off there.

I'm a 5/10 (6 on a good day) but short white dude. But also my pictures I use for tinder suck ( I use only selfies cause I'm incel) .
Its worth getting a mate to take pictures for you.

If you don't feel comfortable doing that then ask a male photographer (get a student because they are cheaper) and be completely honest about what you need the photos for.

It wont cost much for an hours work and you will have some good pictures for the next year or so.

The real solution is to take cyproterone and kill your sex drive completely. But I'm not quite there. Rather get more surgeries first and/or try hookers or sugar babies.

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.

Interesting, though not surprising since you're quite chadded up.
How old are you btw?

Dude, most would give an arm and a leg for that lay count.
If I was even a 5, I would hope on these apps after reading this thread.

I'm 31.

By the time I was 25 i'd only ever been with 4 people because I was with one woman between 21 and 25. Before I was 21 and in that relationship I was really shy because I had bad skin so I only got a few lays from drunken parties.

Between the ages of 26 and 30 is where I whored around. I used to date people for like 6 weeks or so and then break up with them.

If I was really proactive it could have easily been 2 new lays a week - so 100 per year - but I think its pretty tragic chasing high numbers (but it sounds cool when you are a teen).

My problem now is that theres mostly only Asians to date where I live and there is a massive language barrier. Its easy to get laid - but I think to have a meaningful relationship you need to be able to have a deep conversation - so it rules out 99% of the females (there are a few who are fluent of course).

My experience of tinder is an up and down one tbh. Some days i get 5+ matches but then I can go a few days without a single one. I probably average about 1 in 15-20 matches but most girls are either unattractive or looking for serious relationships. Its mainly a waste of time but can be good fun if you use it frequently and dont take it all too seriously

Im annoyed that they done away with groups though, that was a great feature

That sh*t won't work for baldies. PUA is also dead now. You want these people to get arrested for harassment?
