Hey! I've been having great luck on tinder recently. I am super busy, with literally only a few hours one or two evenings a week free to meet girls. Even so, with tinder I've been having sex with a new girl pretty much every week, and I thought I'd share my technique.

1) Profile

I've not put much thought into this. Pictures are me doing interesting stuff; playing an instrument, doing sport, one group photo. My main picture doesn't even show my face, which I know is meant to be tinder suicide, but I'm happy with the 20-30 matches I get each week. The description is 4 words, a list of my main hobbies (obviously I picked the attractive ones).

2) Matching

I swipe right for every girl until my limit, which takes about 2 minutes each morning and evening. I get 3-4 matches per day, of which maybe 2 I am attracted to. I unmatch those I am not interested in, and send "<first name>!" to the ones I am.

3) Messaging

If they never reply, I unmatch. Otherwise, pretty much no matter what they say, I send a message similar to, "You look like you like to <insert guessed interest here>. What are you doing in <my city>?" at this point the reply rate is about 90%. I send about 5-10 normal, friendly, getting to know you messages. I don't make things sexual at all. By the tenth message maximum I invite them out for a drink. Something like. "I'm pretty busy this week, but we should meet up and get a drink together tomorrow. Do you live near <city center>?"

I deliberately don't specify whether the drink will be alcoholic or not, nor the time I want to go. I don't try to make the message fit in smoothly with the conversation unless it's really easy, most of the time I write it out of the blue. I don't think I've ever been turned down after sending this message. My main problem is usually deciding which girl I want to send it to, as I only have time to meet one or two people each week.

Once they agree, I send "Do you have whatsapp?", after which they give me their number. Logistics are then handled over whatsapp, not tinder.

4) The date

I take every girl to the same place, a piano bar down the street from my house. I buy a half-pint of good beer and they usually do the same. Again, I keep things friendly and getting-to-know-you. The sexual tension comes from her not knowing how interested you are. The bar closes early, at 11:30, and I walk them towards my house without explanation. I live next to a park. As we pass by my house, I say "this is where I live", and we normally continue to the park. At the park we sit down and I kiss them. I don't wait for a good moment; I figure if they're still with me, they're interested, so I usually just interrupt the conversation by taking their hands and kissing them.

5) Sex

After making out for a while, about 25% of the girls come back to my house for sex. I don't push things too far with the other 75%. If they don't come back that night, I invite them the next evening for dinner, at which point we have sex. I eventually sleep with about 80% of the girls I meet from tinder, with bad logisitics and lack of attraction usually accounting for the other 20%.

Total time investment: 4 minutes per day swiping, 10 minutes messaging, 2-3 hours per week on dates

Total monetary investment: 3 euros per girl, plus a cheap home-cooked dinner

Hope this helps some of you! Feel free to ask questions / suggest changes / berate me. :)
