As a black man, do you have success on tinder?

Tousen71 · 2020-12-10T03:14:55+00:00

I'm black and can tell you firsthand it's not your race. I've been with every race of girl (except Jewish and Middle-Eastern) and can tell you that if you're attractive it doesn't matter what race you are, girls will still be into you.

Now, that being said, there is such thing as preference.

I'm lightskin and fairly handsome, so my path is pretty easy. I don't come off as hood, but I don't come off as soft either. I straddle the line as a tall, handsome, hipster-esque black guy. And for me that works with a lot of different kinds of girls (almost all minorities including hood black girls but prissy white girls, too).

However, I'm not everyone's type. If it's a brolic, athletic black dude that's buff as shit and has a stoic or immediately masculine charm/aura to them, a lot of these girls will choose him over me.

It all comes down to type.

So, what type are you?

Are you the nerdy, anime-loving black guy with glasses that weighs 150lbs soaking wet? Or are you the Michael B Jordan type that will make a white girl who's only dated white guys wet?

Own your lane and go where you're appreciated.

Really giving take the black pill a new meaning here.

You sure you want advice or you want us to confirm your preconceptions given your post history?

Never tinder gamed, but lemme tell you, I hear similar shit and definitely didn't before I improved myself, so I think you're good chief.

I've heard a couple different times that unless you're like a top 90% guy on tinder, it doesn't work out too well unless you use boosts

Women can be very picky on those apps. Just bc they have a lot of options. For what it’s worth I’m a white dude who almost exclusively matched with latinas, Asians, Arabs. I never matched with white women. Granted I’m not really attracted to white girls but I figured I’d get a few matches here and there. I just think maybe they’re not realistic with the guys they expect to get. Bc I’m so picky with white women I’d only swipe on women I consider close to my league. But my only assumption is since there were so few I’d consider attractive enough for me, they’re probably considering themselves 10/10s. Brown bitches get a pass bc I’m naturally attracted to them so i was swiping on them all the time.

Are you trying to go for only white chicks? Or are you swiping on em all? I’m surprised not even the black chicks are matching with you either if you’re swiping on them.

Bruv dont let not getting matches on tinder effect your ego, it doesnt mean anything. I dont got many photos so when I made an account, i just used whatever I had which were shit photos and barley got matches. But I pull at clubs regularly and get iois consistently.

Its literally just photos/angles/ the life your portray in your photos. Very small correlation to your physical attractiveness imo.

Trust me, 99% of us don’t get any matches in the shithole that is tinder. Fatties don’t count

In group preference is a thing.

As a blonde dude, I do well with white chicks and Asians.

Not sure of that helps..

Look if you're in a white majority country the tinder game is gunna suck unless you're Michael b Jordan or idris Elba

I grew up thinking I was ugly but instead I realised that I'm not the white western standard.

Advice - lift, dress good, get a good job and a professional photographer who knows how to take good pictures of black skin

I'm tired of black people pulling the race card. I know plenty of white guys who don't get any matches on Tinder either.

Stop being a fucking loser, stop making excuses and work on yourself, nobody cares if you're white/black. Just aim to become the best version of yourself.

No, but if you look like Simeon Panda, you probably will... But if a white guy look like Simeon Panda, the girl will match him first.

Life as what it is. Tinder are only for hookups so i don't see why would be any different
