The Tinder trap

Strella10m · 2017-09-02T18:56:26+00:00

i remember reading a maths paper in which based on the game theory mechanics of the tinder app, its in mens interest to approve every single match and then only deal with responses, and its in womens interest to be more and more picky based on the swamp responses.

so you eventually just end up in a completely meaningless polarised game where swipes actually mean nothing and women get the false delusion that they are more desirable/attractive than then are, and men get the false delusion that they are less desirable than they actually are.

its basically bad for everyone. and will erode your mental health very quickly.

i consider myself blessed, never ever been on tinder or facebook or any dating app/service in my life, nor would I.

Give them choices... this is what happens

I can confirm. Firstly there is no "sweet spot" dating site, they all heavily biased against males, just due to the mechanics.

However, you don't need to be a rocket scientist to know why Tinder is the worst.

Tinder relies almost exclusively on pics. The idea revolutionized the dating scene. Just log in via Facebook, select a few existing pics and you're up and running. No need to answer any questions or write up a bio.

As for the dating experience, you swipe left or right. From time to time you can super like. It's super simple.

Problem is you're judged entirely and summed up in typically 1-3 photos. If you're not a natural born Chad, even if you're a solid 7, you will get table scraps.

I've tried 4-5 dating sites and without a doubt Tinder was just a total waste of time. Not 1 meetup, and a few likes over a period of about a year. No actual meaningful conversations or anything like that.

Tinder also being a hookup app, will locate matches based on current location. So you might get a like from someone who was in your area but lives on the other side of the country and has returned by the time you even find the like.

Terrible for people living in border zones. Because the app will use GPS distance and has no political zoning. In Europe, most want dates from their own country, in their own language.

Badoo comes in as 2nd worst, but is at least a viable way to meet women. Oh trust me it fucking sucks and will make you want to quit it, but at least you will have some tangible success from it.

As for all the rest these days, they don't really exist. OkCupid is pretty much dead, and I don't know any other free ones.

"Bottom 80%"

you don't need a study to know that men are fed a shit sandwich without the bread in nearly every subject.

zero fucks given.

Or... use it to your advantage. Fake profile with super good looking dude, set them up for a date (who flakes on them). While they're waiting for Chad McChadface YOU swoop in and pick them up. Hell, you could load up a local bar with a BUNCH of hotties in one go and be like shooting fish in a barrel. Yes it's dark triad and no I don't care.

A lot of women are more than happy to entertain a guy while they're waiting to meet someone, especially in situations like this. The expectation is that once the person they're waiting for shows up they've got a built-in "out" of the conversation, so they don't have to talk to you in good faith. The "trick" is turning their actual interst to you which happens naturally because of how investment works. It's pretty fucking awesome.

Tinder gets you the same results as clubbing does, but a lot faster. Guys that slay in clubs get girls on Tinder quick. Guys that don't get rejected quick.

Honestly I can't be bothered by this Tinder bullshit.

Dioworldo87 · 2017-09-04T02:07:38+00:00

Good thing I only interact with women for sex. No tinder just backpage classifieds

marian5567 · 2017-09-02T23:03:57+00:00

So true...

obviousthroawayacunt · 2017-09-03T15:03:51+00:00

Not playing this game anyway. Since I went mgtow I see how pathetic some of my male friends are. They are literally slaves to their women, some went to the extreme.

Now I just work, work out, have hobbies and drink a beer or ten with my male friends on the weekends. Most females are really irritating and shallow. I was in a relationship for 6 years and I realized my partner didn't have anything to offer besides sex. So I had some and it's really grossly overrated, it wasn't worth all the mental pain my partner has caused me. Some of my friends have children now and I thank god a kid didn't come out of my relationship. I really appreciate not having a kid. Having a girl already felt like having a child, cause she was shallow as a kid. It all pretty much revolved around buying stupid, useless, but shiny shit. Bleh.

Is there a link to the attractiveness calculator they mention at the bottom?

rp_whybother · 2017-09-03T13:39:06+00:00

sounds like it just mirrors everyday society

TimeSlaved · 2017-09-04T03:55:33+00:00

I shared this on my facebook...as I predicted, only a few people liked the post. One is a MGTOW buddy, and the other is a lonely guy who's never dated before, but both were guys haha.

You dont need an academic paper to realize this about women, i figured it out after fruitless searching on plenty of fish back in 2010.
