I started using Tinder a few weeks ago, and initially I got lots of matches was in a week I was up 200 matches. I was feeling pretty good about my chances here, considering on other sites I would maybe get five matches in a week.

I live in the Washington DC area, and one of the first things I noticed that was different from, for example, OkCupid, was that the women on Tinder tend to be much younger and also much more attractive.

With the very first matches I was sort of testing out the waters. I would message them with just the normal beta kind of questions, and These never worked out.

I got a little bit more bold and started asking kind of pointed questions -- things that would be considered a little bit rude in a normal conversation, or that maybe considered slightly too personal, and those worked out a little bit better.

in some ways it was more polarizing, some women responded very strongly to it and other women responded very negatively strongly to it and they would just disappear. But the beautiful thing about Tinder, especially when you have 100 matches or more to work from, is abundance. You don't even need a abundance mentality, you've got abundance in spades. I got even more risky and would start of with negs, teasing, criticising, etc.

The one I hooked up with last night, we actually chatted on tinder for several days and then switched to email for several more days -- we couldn't meet because of logistics. She is 25, I am 38.

With her I started off by just calling her a princess, I had no clue whether not she was the princess type, but I figured she was either going to be immediately annoyed and not talk to me, or she would be frustrated about it and try to defend herself. It was certainly the latter.

even last night as we were lying in bed she was still commenting "I can't believe you called me a princess... Would a princess do this?"

This is something I've noticed that also works with other women who know they are attractive. For example there's a smoking hot Asian girl, the typical pretty-dressing ... a little bit risqué, toned perfect body, The first thing I said to her was that "your shoes look like stripper shoes." She clearly did not like this, but she got so defensive about it that she actually called me later that day, I have no idea how she got my number, and was berating me about it. And then I offered to take her out for drinks, we met up a couple times after that and we started having sex. a lot of sex.

The very short message here is that you should take risks, be extremely direct, be extremely forward, and don't give a single fuck. And, have more than one picture on your profile! These should be normal photographs of you and your face, your body, but fully clothed. You want to have pictures that make you look friendly, but with a slight amount of asshole. No goofy pictures, with weapons, or with your mouth wide-open, or just acting like a douche.

In the past three or four weeks I've met up with four different women (i'm being very selective), directly from tinder. All of them are mid 20s. I've had sex with two so far, and it's fantastic. It's like craigslist used to be in the good days.

Good luck, have fun, and bring condoms (we ran out last night.)
