Tinder shouldn't take up much of your day. Keep it simple.

tl;dr:

  • Basic profile with pictures that aren't selfies.
  • Open on multiple matches.
  • Mention a date idea and get a number. Limit conversation.
  • Use texting for logistics.
  • Double or triple book and adjust for confirmations the day of.

Your most valued resource should be time. Treat Tinder like take out and understand that the value to be had is the easy meal with little time investment. If ordering is complex then you're at the wrong restaurant.

You don't need Tinder plus and you certainly shouldn't be spending more than fifteen minutes arranging a date for that Thursday evening you have free. This strategy will work best in a large city and if you have managed the basics of lifting and dressing yourself properly.

Tinder - keeping it simple.

For photos I suggest shying away from selfies. All you need is a profile picture with your face and torso wearing something smart-casual. Then one or two others that show off your physique, preferably shots of you taking part in some physical activity rather than flexing in the mirror.

Your profile text need not be complex, you may not even need it. If you do then just have the basics. List your height if you're 6'+ and something you enjoy. Such as:
6'2" Really likes steak

If you're not tall, just put where you're studying or an activity you take part in instead.
MMA competitor Really likes beer

Then build yourself a little copy paste conversation in the notes section of your phone. You want 5 lines that lead on from the opener that you only need to add a few words to for the sake of fitting to the conversation. You don't need to copy paste the entire conversation, but I find it helps to have a conversational structure to refer back to for staying on task.

At night or when you're taking a dump just swipe right to everyone within 15km from you.
Once you've unmatched the TindeRhinos just copy paste your opener to as many matches as you can be bothered with and close the app for the night and respond when you're free.
The goal here is to mention a date idea and get a number in 5 to 10 messages. Don't have long discussions on Tinder, they're already interested, save the talking for when you meet.

Once you have the number send a text. This is purely for logistics, you may never actually meet this girl, don't waste time having conversations with someone who for all intents and purposes doesn't exist. Start with:
Hey it's Sneeksl from Tinder.

Once she replies, acknowledge whatever she says in a way that prevents it from starting a conversation and suggest logistics. Give her a few time and day options to avoid a back and forth trying to find a time that works. Ideally these should be within three days of your message.
Something like:
That's interesting. Well how about we grab that coffee at (location near your place or hers), my schedules pretty busy but I'm free Thursday after 5 or Friday at 11. Let me know which works for you.

Once she confirms that's it. If she tries to start a conversation just respond with something that doesn't require a reply from her:
Yeah, dogs are cool
People are funny
True, well I'm off to bed.

Arrange a couple meets on these days and times at different places near one another. A few hours before just send a message to your dates saying you'll be ten minutes late.
If you don't get a response consider the date cancelled and cut contact. If you get a confirmation you can assume she's still coming. If you get multiple confirmations just decide which you prefer and message the others with something like:
Hey this is going to keep me a lot longer than expected, lets meet at (two hours later) instead and cancel if things go well with the first.*

That's really all it should take. If you're doing more than this you're just playing with it.
