I'm not talking just about Tinder, but online dating in general. Mostly IG, which always worked for me, and still works, but i've been noticing a dramatic difference between then and now. Nothing really changed that much about my approach and the way i present myself, so i don't think it's that at all. I'd say my success right now is around 1/3 of what it was 2 years ago. I can still pull around 1 date a month just from IG if i want to, but it used to be 3/4 per month.

Now, the main difference i notice is that it seems a lot harder to keep a girl's interest and they are more fickle than they used to be. Their interest vanishes a lot faster and to just create a situation where a girl wants to keep talking and set up a date is just generally harder.

I have a few theories, but would like you to give me your own too:

1- They are burned out from online dating. As years pass, each girl has had more and more experiences with online dating and it just becomes harder to get their attention because they are just tired of it. It's no longer novelty to them, they've already explored it to the max, the number of messages they receive keep getting higher and higher and higher, and they're just not as into it as they were before. They have been exposed to it long enough that it just lost all the excitement.

2- My profile keeps getting bigger and bigger, i have a lot of followers, a lot of them girls, and maybe some girls don't like that? Not only they usually have a lot of friends in common with me, which might make them behave in a different way in order not to get a bad reputation around the people they know, but maybe they also see me as a fuckboy or something like that. I've been asked a number of times "why do so many girls follow you?". "Why me among all these girls that follow you?". "Do you talk like that to every girl that follows you?". Funny enough, i had a lot more success with 300 followers than with thousands.

3- I'm running out of stock. I mean, they are not infinite, right? If you have 1000 girls in your school and every day you hit on 3, eventually you will run out of girls. I'm starting to think i've already talked to most girls who were prone to like me. I do live in a relatively small area, so that's a possibility.

Nowadays i don't use Tinder, but i decided to do a small test. A few years ago i created a Tinder account and used a pic that had quite a bit of success. And i mean, everyday i'd get at least a handful of matches. I recreated the same profile, same pic, even same age and in 1 week i probably got the same amount of matches i used to get in 1 day 3 years ago.
