How does Tinder "work"?

chiefbl · 2016-12-02T04:40:40+00:00

Just a word of advice to anyone on Asktrp. A lot of general inquiries can either be solved by looking through the sidebar or searching keyterms on the mainsub. Like this one. Search 'Tinder' on the mainsub and ta-da. All posts/comments concerning 'Tinder' from the past 3 years right there.

General pointers for Tinder.

If you're not physically in the top 20%, you're wasting your time.
There's no need to fret on what to say in the beginning. If the girl dig your photos, you can literally say anything. Like "Anal?" and she'll be receptive.
The overall game applies to Tinder as well. Don't blab bullshit about her day. Get phone number -> set date -> fuck.

Near 50 Girls this year from tinder.

If she matched assume heavy attraction.

If a girl comes up to you on the street and says "your really attractive" do you ask her how her day is?

No. get the digits, set up a date, have a drink, fuck her.

Here's the catch. 80-90% of them won't ever meet. They use tinder for matches, attention and validation, and a boredom killer.

But the final 20-10%?

All they want is for you to prove your not a social retard or some kind of murder. 1 drink in a public place then back to yours.

One thing I've noticed - most girls tend to be way more picky in Tinder than they are in real life. It applies to any dating service. There are always more men than women using these services, and for girls it's easy to conceal physical imperfections on pictures. So even the ugliest can get an overwhelming amount of attention which in turn makes them thinking they are queens of some sort.

Another thing to mention - it's safe to deduct 1-2 points for any girls you see there. If she looks like 8, in reality she is 6. Judge by the worst photo you see. If she doesn't have a lot of photos, assume she is ugly.

but I have yet to message any because I don't know what game to spit here.

Just go with the dumbest shit you can. It doesn't even matter.

See /r/tinder for the kind of shit you can run with.

Keep in mind that the posts you see on r tinder and the screenshots from your friends are just the most outrageous ones. I guess you'd have to find out a bit for yourself what works in your area. Try sending some "normal" messages, and also some outrageous ones when you're feeling playful and/or drunk.

It worked a few years ago, when it was new and somewhat "wild west". This is when it was sufficiently new to be exciting and edgy, but also acceptable enough for women. It has its origins in gay Hookup culture after all. When that was is a bit regionally specific, in my particular area it was something like 2013-14. It's pretty much normalised so much in most of the West now, though, that there isn't much to distinguish it from any other dating site. Also, they're trying to diversify it and monetise.

I have a look from time to time, but it's a waste of time now. Unless you're an Adonis-like chiselled piece of perfection. But hey

Honestly, it's not too different than text game from a girl you picked up. It helps because it allows you to set up a one on one, and once she agrees to a date, you're pretty much set.

Same rules apply:

*Keep it short and sweet *Set up a date within a few messages *Have decent pictures but honestly an average looking guy can pull a few 7s if he is funny on tinder *Doesnt REALLY matter what you say

It's been said before but yeah, get their number/snapchat and go on from there. Try not to sound like a rapist.

Tinder doesn't work for men, period.

Tinder does not work, unless you're already in the top 5% of males, and by posting here, I'd guess you're not yet, keep lifting, u/rpvp, you'll get there.
