I have a similar perspective of tinder. It's heavily geared for women to have the pick of the lot. It's better to just keep networking instead. Better results

She gets probably around 30 matches a day.....
Look, Tinder is a microcosm of real life. This is just straight up dating culture that girls get approached more than guys.
and each guy immediately begins spitting game at her,
Right. You're seeing desperation there. Not game. A bunch of guys trying too hard to stand out from the crowd.
I see a lot of familiar techniques in those messages. My point is, unless you are swole as shit and you're game is on level 1000, Tinder girls are going to forget you even if they swipe right, unless you somehow get EVERYTHING right.
Not exactly correct. You think you are getting some huge sample size but you forgot that you were only looking at ONE girl out of all the girls on Tinder. And the fact that you were there directly observing, also affects your results.
Some girls will certainly be overloaded and distracted by the sheer number of approaches from desperate guys on Tinder. Some girls will certainly be attention whores.
Those girls aren't the ones you should be concerned with anyway.
You're odds are FAR better actually going out day or night gaming. Tinder is not an accurate reflection of how girls feel about you, if anything the negative results will just knock you off your game.
That said, I actually agree with this too. What I disagree with is this idea that you seem to be weighing Tinder against meeting girls in real life. When the two are not mutually exclusive. There's no reason not to Tinder on the side while meeting girls in real life.

You're right, I shouldn't compare them so much, as it's apples to oranges. I just noticed that with a lack of matches after a day or two, I caught myself feeling bad for a minute before realizing it may be toxic for some folks' inner-game to get bad results from Tinder.

I guess my point is that the Tinder is not responsible for bad inner-game. It's the mindset people bring into Tinder.

I feel like there's a way to go about texting. But you can't be serious. It has to all be playful banter. I don't know about you guys? I've not tried Tinder but I get lots of texts a day and I feel like, objectively, it's the same, right?

This is kinda how life is. Chris Rock, I think, said something along the lines of "women have been getting offered dick by every guy they've ever met since they were twelve years old."

I agree with you... but tinder you can do by yourself. Going to bars without friends requires a whole lot more self motivation
[–]ruhri 1 point2 points3 points 10 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
You don't have to go to bars by yourself...

That's partly my point. Tinder for most guys is going to be a feedback loop of negativity. It's far more worthwhile to motivate yourself into actually going out and making some progress.
The whole point of seduction is self-improvement via sexual and social experiences.

Good post, I agree. Its so easy to spend so much time swiping. It's at the expense of working on yourself. And the realization that girls have the pick of the litter, you have to be in a great state of mind to maintain your progress and sense of self.

Admittedly I've never used Tinder, but if you go into it with the mentality of "Well this is going to most likely be a shit storm. I'll do it for laughs" and do it with an IDGAF mentality, it might be something entertaining to do on the side of normal game.

You can say that a little, but spending a while days swipes with 0 reciprocation can smash anybody's game.
[–]Moderatorrecyclablebantha 1 point2 points3 points 10 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
Only if you let it. Why the hell should you put so much importance on responses from Tinder, anyway?
How does swiping on Tinder = game? It doesn't. Nothing about girls failing to answer/reciprocate on Tinder says a thing about your "game."
When I say game I mean inner game here. People to seduction may think to start online before trying actual approaches, and my fear is that tools like Tinder may dissuade them from it.

My initial reply in this part of the thread was harsher in word choice than I intended.... so I hope I didn't give the wrong impression.

I was talking about all game, inner and outer.

Well, the issue is how to approach Tinder in the first place. It should be considered a secondary thing to supplement real world efforts, not a primary method, nor something to judge oneself by.

Thanks for contributing bud.
That guy has kind of been trolling people over the last few hours, actually. Possibly unintentionally, but still trolling.
