When Tinder first released, it was a goldmine. Everyone, including all the girls on it, knew exactly what the app was for and what they were there for: to hookup.

The app stayed pretty relevant for about 2 years and got myself and lots of other people quite a few lays. But now, 99% of the girls on there use tinder as nothing more than a validation tool, thinking that because they get 100 matches a day from thirsty dudes on a hookup app that they're the hottest shit ever.

Now don't get me wrong here, I'm an attractive guy who goes to the gym everyday and takes care of myself very well. 2 years ago I was getting 10-15 matches a day. Now I'm lucky if I get 3 max. And I'm even luckier if just 1 of those 3 even respond to a message, let alone agree to meet. On top of that, to get them to even consider meeting, all the sudden all of them want to meet at a restaurant or some other shit because they think they're special snowflakes worthy of me wining and dining them even though they're total strangers on a hookup app.

Hell, they've even upgraded from the 'pizza delivery scams' and now I can scroll through and more than 50% of them have in their bio "Send 5$ and I'll give you the best present you ever got ;)" or something similar. Now they just straight up ask for money. Of course I've never done that shit, and if I match with any of the sluts who have that in their bio, I call them a cunt, report them and unmatch them as soon as they read my message, but I can only imagine the poor saps who do do it get absolutely nothing in return. In fact they probably never hear from the girl again and there's nothing they can do about it but take a lesson out of it.

Don't take this as all bad news; a hyper-validated girl from a measly app is going to work her tits off to try and get that same level of validation in real life, no matter how drab, dull, or boring she is, from alphas who aren't giving it to her. This means girls like this are going to be even easier to pull from night-game situations.

tl;dr: Tinder is a joke. Don't even waste your time on it anymore but if you absolutely feel the need to, only use it while your taking a shit because that's all the app and its floods of gold digging, validation seeking moron girls deserve.
