Tinder is for sex. If you tell people you use tinder, they will assume you are having lots of exciting sex with lots and lots of people.

With all due respect, this is not true. Lots of people use Tinder as they would any other dating app. I personally know people who have gotten married after meeting on Tinder.
I'm a 26-year-old woman living in a metropolitan area, and I can tell you most single young people are on Tinder - and it's not so they can have sex. Most people have accounts just so they can meet people, talk to people when they're bored, and maybe go on some dates.

Talk to people when they are bored.. MAYBE go on a date.. Great.
Many people use dating apps just for attention and validation. Please don't waste people's time like that. Facebook is perhaps a better alternative.

I've noticed most men are on it for attention/validation, but the women I know on it mainly do it just to meet people.

The average woman is getting 50 to 100 messages a day on any dating app. None of those dudes want to take your friends out??

I don't understand this question or how it relates to anything I've said.
Yeah, guys ask girls out a lot on online dating apps. Lots of girls go on the dates and lots of girls also reject many of the invitations. Again, don't understand your question, really.

You understood just fine. You just didn't like what I was saying. It's fine though. Have a nice day.

Tinder has a reputation as a hook-up site, I don't care what people try to say about it. Try another dating site, even POF, with the filters set for the more serious relationship options.
Make sure your profile describes yourself well, the type of relationship you seek, and the type of man you're interested in. Try to use mostly positive declarations that sounds inviting to qualified candidates; don't have mostly a long list of things you don't want.
In person, how are you with exchanging IOIs? Do men approach you? Are you able to retain interesting ones or do approaches and conversations fizzle? Maybe feedback from a reliable wingwoman watching you in action would be helpful.

Are you from a really conservative area?
I've never heard someone suggest a woman is slutty because she's outgoing and friendly. If anything, watch your body language because I do think there's a difference between being comfortable with physical contact and being touchy.

It sounds like by being physical and messaging friends you find "cute", people are reading you as being too forward and agressive, the way a more experienced woman would be.

i realise that too now D: how to make boys i like approach me first?

Try reading "The Rules". It's filled with a ton of good advice about how to be flirty yet mysterious and feminine.

I don't want to sound harsh. I'm just going to shoot straight. How attractive do you think you are? You may not be able to get the attention of the guys you want, and other guys don't exist to you. You also sound like a extrovert.
Also.. You are virgin. Or so you say. You are on tinder. You message guys you think are cute on Facebook, and you admit to being a touchy. People don't think you are slut. They think you are an attention seeking cock tease. You probably tell guys you think they are attractive but then when they reciprocate you ease off and check out. And then you are on to the next guy. Nobody wants to be around people like this. Men or women.
i think i'm pretty attractive. my friends and family tell me i'm gorgeous and very nicely shaped. the second part sounded very harsh tho. but this is good and constructive, i really appreciate it. i think it sounds about right as much as i don't want to admit it. i just want to get to know the people i find attractive. but since they don't come to me i thought i had to go to them. and i do move from one guy to the other a lot D: how do i fix my image tho?
[–]smirk_addict1 point2 points3 points 9 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
You fix your image by changing your behavior. You change your behavior but trying to understand why you need to act this way in the first place.
Guys probably don't come to you because they feel you are a waste of their time. It honestly just sounds like you want attention more than anything. And other people see that. I don't get the feeling you want to change what you are doing. You just want to change how people perceive it.

There's nothing wrong with moving from one guy to another when you're young. Don't beat yourself up over it. That's what happens when you're a beautiful, young 20-something. If you aren't ready to settle down yet (at your age I really assume you aren't) then there is absolutely nothing wrong with having fun and getting to know lots of guys. That's how you figure out what you like and don't like. :) it's natural to get bored of guys after a bit when you're young, have options, and are not in the place for something serious.
[–][deleted] 1 point2 points3 points 9 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link
Maybe the touchy is what's wrong here. Like how touchy? Like hug male acquaintances touchy?
Alright, stop messaging multiple people on Facebook. Maybe take a break from tinder too. Work on your image first then let them come to you.
You strike the as someone who seems to be all over the place, roller coaster like.
like i would playfully tap guys when they say something funny or tease me or something. i don't hug guys. how do i improve my image? guys tend to think i'm a wild party girl D:
Well then I doubt being seen as a wild party girl comes only from what you've mentioned. You're not telling us everything we need to know to help you.
Do you party often? And how do you party? Did you ever get passed out drunk, even once? Is it possible someone is spreading rumors about you? Is it possible you are a wild party girl? Do you dress slutty and project yourself as someone with a badmouth and an attitude?
Edit: if you're in highschool, you shouldn't really care about not finding a boyfriend because you probably won't marry him anyways. Just work on yourself so you'll have a better reputation in your early twenties. More advice can be given once I have some more info. Small towns tend to be really shitty places to live - you only need to screw up once for it follow you through years.
i went clubbing 3 times last year. no pictures of that no snapchat of that, no record whatsoever. never got drunk, don't drink much. my skirt never go above my knees. never shown cleavage. maybe attitude, i have witty comments for most things so how to fix my image?

Fix your attitude.
[–]Rivkariver2 Star0 points1 point2 points 9 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Just rein it in a little. You don't have to flirt to connect always.
[–]beachbloke0 points1 point2 points 9 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I don't think the things you are listing are dealbreakers, which makes me think you aren't considering an aspect of yourself. Back to basics, are you attractive? Weight under control? Make an alt account and post on /r/Rateme if you don't know
