Game's still the same but the aesthetic has changed. Try searching TRP for tinder guides, most common theme is good pictures, brief bio (job if prestigious, goals/dreams if not; I use a funny fake fact too).
I live in a big university city and get anywhere from 2-10 matches each time I'm swiping but I'll be honest, the amount of girls using it for validation has gone up dramatically.

Definitely lots of validation seeking. It makes the general TRP advice that texting as little as possible is preferred ring true. Might lose a few matches because you didn't chat them up, but you definitely didn't waste time given some average girl their hourly confidence boost.

uh no girls will fuck on tinder its mainly for fucking not validation if you dont meet their standards you just wont be seeing the sex part

I've had multiple girls straight up tell me they use it for the "endless compliments"

Never said they don't fuck, but if you think there aren't a significant number of women, especially in the 18-25 age bracket, on there for the confidence boost you're crazy.
Imagine having an app where tons of girls are just trying to fuck you, even if you're a hideous cow. They shower you with compliments on your good looks anytime you swipe right. That's what women have with tinder.

Try bumble. Assuming real life is not an option for whatever reason.

I'm a pretty avid user of tinder/bumble. It's really all about ego/validation now. I'm lucky I'm in a big college town, so I still get a few dates/numbers out of it. But if I were anywhere else, I would have deleted it all by now.

Do you get laid or just dates?
[–]trpjnf1 point2 points3 points 10 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Mostly just dates. Got laid a few times recently. My game was pretty bad at times, so I wasn't able to get past a first date
[–]ddiogenesofsinope0 points1 point2 points 10 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Don't threat. Its my own theory that much like men like to keep numbers on how many they sleep with. Women like to keep tabs on how many they have in orbit. Its something I feel RP needs to factor into game. How to weed out the bullshittters

Its about the pictures get professional pics honestly I went from 1/100 match rate to 10/100 thats 10 times
In my experience I get a lot of matches. But the girl has decided well before she even swipes if she'll bang you or not. If I have to try too hard, she isn't banging and I'm just validation.

I experienced the same thing as you a while back. When I first began using it, I would get matches with some decent-looking gals, now if I'm lucky I'll get an overweight chick that believes "its whats on the inside that counts."
I personally believe that 95% of all women are using it for the sole purpose of validation.

I remember Tinder when it first came out. Those were the days, having bitches drive from an hour away to fuck. Now, most of the girls in my region are on there for validation but a decent bit want to fuck. They just want you to take them out on one date and then you can just see in their eyes if they want to fuck or not. Some want to go right away. I have 300 matches in a smaller scale of a city and out of those, I fucked 10. Couple puerto ricans, two asians, the rest white girls. This is within the past 3 months. Almost got a chick pregnant. I don't know if the condom is too small but it always breaks. Maybe twice it hasn't broken. Glad I don't have an std.
I swipe right for everyone so I don't waste my time and usually will send 5 to 10 messages back and forth and then set up a date. Don't chit chat.

With tinder just set up a date as fast as possible. Quick chitchat then ask why they are on tinder. Whatever they say just say your looking for nothing serious, few dates, see if anyone cool comes along. Put it out there quickly that your looking for dates.
Next is "any luck yet". Your reply is always "a few dates, some good ones, some boring/shy ones, nothing too bad".
Then ask them out for a drink. From there its easy to tell if they are down or not.
Tinder is 10% dating and 90% sorting out actually dates from validation seekers
