You can take my life, but you can never take my freedom... to jerk off
[–]rogat100 12 points13 points14 points 7 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
exactly, what kind of sadist will want me to stop jerking off?

I have tried the "3-4 good photos, outside, smiling" for pictures and got 0 matches still since 2018, wish I knew tinder game back when I used to get matches

Are you in a city?
[–]IntoxicatedOrange 6 points7 points8 points 7 years ago (14 children) | Copy Link
I tried switching my profile to thailand and I got 40 matches in a day btw... in NYC 0... so what does that mean... my photos convey a very low status to New Yorkers. But I'm not actually that low status, I have a pretty good life, just no matter what photos I use it's not conveyed it seems.

Feel you on this. You gotta look like Brad Pitt to get a match in NYC.

I find it hard to believe you are using good pictures. How old are you ?

You said your photos convey low status, but you're not actually low status. Why would you convey that? Change that immediately.
[–]IntoxicatedOrange 2 points3 points4 points 7 years ago (5 children) | Copy Link
Ehh, I don't know why that is, I'm just being my normal self in the photos. Not the type to buy fancy clothes or go to upscale venues and then have people photograph me doing that, how else can I convey status in my photos? Traveling, enjoying art/hiking/biking, and smiling is not enough it appears. The only way I determined that this was the problem was by setting my profile to Thailand where I got tons of matches, the only explanation is that I had an instant status boost there by being a westerner.

Wear a blazer, sunglasses, bling. Doesn't have to be expensive, just has to look expensive. Make friends with attractive women and take selfies with them.
[–]IntoxicatedOrange 1 point2 points3 points 7 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Yeah, good idea @ taking pics with women friends thing. I mean I have some attractive women friends so maybe I should convince them to take photos with me, but all of this is such a chore compared to just approaching :p

It's just the culture of NYC. I wouldn't pretend to be someone I'm not just to get matches on Tinder. Do you fit in well in that city? How's your social circle?
[–]theginopino 0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
In Asia things are real different and it gets old real quick.
I lived in Asia for over a year and internet dating was a joke, it makes your game worse being there because literally being white is like +9000 to your power level.
Women in Big cities have high ass expectations because the pool is huge - get your most ideal female friend to fix your profile pics for you
[–]IntoxicatedOrange 0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Nah I'm just going to cold approach more, it's less work
[–]theginopino 0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
Get hinge and get a female friend to fix your pics. Had my close female friend do this and I had around 100 matches across two apps in 2 weeks.
I’m also short af and tossed it in my profile and still got matches. What you think are good photos /profile are probably shit to regular users of those apps. You don’t need fancy clothes or fancy places, just solid pics
[–]IntoxicatedOrange 0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Honestly, I just think online dating is trash now. 2-5 years ago I used to make profiles with ONLY selfies without even smiling and get a solid number of matches every week, and get girls numbers from some of those, I just had no game back then to actually convert. Now I can use photos that you would think have way more social proof, i.e. smiling, traveling, doing stuff that shows I actually have a life, and get zero matches. I have also gotten more fit, richer, and more emotionally stable since then, so it really makes no sense.
[–]theginopino 0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Idk man it works for me 🙈. Ymmv. Depends on age group and city too maybe. I’ve never had a problem with online dating but I live in a big add city
Times have also changed, 5 years ago everyone took selfies but they are less popular now

I like em'. Very good advice.
To add to the list:
- The jig is up on those pics with you holding a cute puppy. That play doesn't work anymore fella's, they're onto it. Try a pic of you doing something funny or somewhere interesting.
- The sad reality is that you don't exist as a person until you meet her. Hate getting ghosted? So did I. I found I was 80% less likely to get the ghost treatment if she met me in person and realized I was an actual good guy. Get that first date as soon as possible but DON'T be pushy, or go for the half court shot...trying to ask her out after 5 sentences. That's a low percentage play.
- For every 3 matches you get, she gets 10. Remember to separate yourself from every other guy. Be interesting, be funny, be edgy but most of all: Don't show up with expectations..If she feels like you expect shit out of her, girls hate that.
- Tinder is basically a cold-sales job. You need to convince her your dick is something she wants and if she does't oblige she's losing out. Walk the Walk. My most successful Tinder days was when I would let all the cunts out there who ghosted and were rude just roll off my back. Be mentally strong, and DO NOT DERIVE your self worth or self image based on your lack of success on Tinder. There are tons of guys who could take me to the cleaners in real life pickup who I did much better than on Tinder. It's a different arena, know that.
Have fun out there boys.

Thanks for adding to the list! Where you talk about bouncing back and onto the next one is really important too. It's a numbers game and it's important not to get too invested in the failures.
[–]chrisieg66 2 points3 points4 points 7 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
It's True. Can't let yourself get emotionally invested at the beginning no matter how good your chemistry with her is.
I think most guys get excited when they see a girl responding back at first and then once the early spark fades there's a lot of confusion, disappointment and frustration
Gotta approach these matches with no emotion clouding your judgement. It's not your catch until it's on the boat. Fortitude and persistence is the name of the game.
[–]throwmeacake 4 points5 points6 points 7 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
10:3?
More like 100:1 if you're in a city
[–]EnvironmentalTwister 0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Yeah. Would also like to add that if her responses are short, she’s likely not interested in meeting up
[–]razorblazer420 7 years ago [recovered] (4 children) | Copy Link
I do well on Tinder, and don't agree with some of these.
There's no problem with a selfie or two, just be sure they aren't all selfies and to have pictures with people.
I jerk off everyday. I'm single. Fuck outta here.
Getting the snap is good for me, cause you can see if she reads your messages, and you can send her stuff for no reason. Also a good way for you/her to see if you/she look/s like you/she do/es in the pictures.
I always say stuff after confirming a meet up. I don't see the issue there.
I think the rest of it is spot on.
[–]ass_blunts[S] 14 points15 points16 points 7 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
Thanks for the reply. I agree with you, you can break these rules if you tread carefully. I just laid these out because I constantly see guys being needy texters and using snapchat way too much, using it as a place to develop the relationship rather than using it to make dates
[–]PhoenixBro1988 2 points3 points4 points 7 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I think the truth lies somewhere in the middle... on one hand I agree you should taper back conversation significantly after setting a date, ideally because you’re setting the date in a day or two, not two weeks so there’s no need to talk a whole lot... but if you go totally radio silent, it can sometimes come of as “I got what I wanted, now I’m not gonna talk to you anymore” for the girl... not an idea you want to plant in her head as harbingers of things to come and lead to flaking. One or two additional messages to keep the interaction from cooling should be more than enough.
On masturbation... I have absolutely found that cutting back or eliminating it increases the drive to seek out women and makes you more confident/energetic. But if you can’t do it, at least consider minimizing porn instead... masturbating without porn can help provide release, but is no substitute for sex from the perspective of your brain.

Pay for it.
I've found this is a great way to set a poor precedent and, more often than not, never see a second date. The best women I continue to see have all come from split bill first dates, or even first dates where I let them pay. If they're fun enough to make it to a second date with me, then I'll offer to pay. To be frank, I don't think one date is a long enough period for me to judge if they are worth the tab.
Basic logic says a confident man will pay for the first date. 3D chess logic says a confident man has too many other women lined up to pay for any first date. Women love 3D chess.
[–]WhereTruthLies 4 points5 points6 points 7 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
3D chess
So... regular chess? Anyways, I agree with you that my dates where I split usually go better. Idk maybe it's something about having invested something into the date herself makes her think that it's more worth pursuing whereas if you pay for it she loses nothing and gains a free meal if she never sees you again? Just some speculation, I'm not sure I buy your logic of "too many women" because a successful guy won't have a problem with buying 2 coffees a day instead of one.

I guess we have wildly different experiences.
[–]Pierrlebe 2 points3 points4 points 7 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
dates
- "Go on as many dates as you can" ---> If you're a beginner this is very true, I'm 33 and when I started MASSIVELY dating in my early 26 I just went even if the girl didn't interest me, you always learn.
- "Go for drinks" ---> That's very personal, for some it's a disaster, depends
- "Getting "a flight" of beers is a fun way to jump right into your date"
- Be interesting! ---> Yup!!!
- Be interested, but not overly. Be relaxed, convince yourself you're doing her a favour by even asking her on a date. After all, you will pay for it. ----> "I don't pay the dates anymore but yeah in the beginning I did"
- Pay for it. I don't usually spend anymore than $20-30 dollars. But sometimes if we are really having fun, we'll hit a couple more places. Rarely do I ever spend more than $60 on a night. ----> "If you have the money sure go for it but when massively dating it would screw me, but to get started sure, or if you think it's your duty well, to each it's own"
- If she wants to split the bill, refuse politely with a confident smile. Women love to pretend like they are willing to pay for it, but this is a key moment you should take advantage of. Women are drawn to men who have an ability to provide/hunt/grow. It's rooted in humans sexual selection and evolution. Take advantage of it instead of whining about saving $10-15. ---> "Sure the darwinism theory is a good basically knowledge, but it just depends nowadays
- Do not go for dinner. It's more expensive, it's more of a commitment (you can't just dip out and end it if you're not interested) and it's awkward because you have to pay some attention to the food you're eating.---> "Hehe good points on that yeah"
- When date is over you should have a good idea if she's interested. Invite her back to your place.
[–]theginopino 1 point2 points3 points 7 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
I love your list! I have had such good success with online dating over my life and I think this sums up a lot of things you only learn by experience.
Replacing drinks for the first date would be the only thing I would change for myself (personal preference).

It's not meant to be a literal pros and cons list. It's an opportunity to be creative and use humour.
[–]pencituant 0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
I turn 21 tomorrow and would like some tips about drinks for a date. Do I suggest a bar or club? What should I order? How do I even order?
I've had my fair share of alcohol, but during college parties / pregame — I've never ordered something formally. Super excited to replace getting coffee or ice cream with drinks though! The environment seems much more favorable
[–]DatingCoach1113 points 7 years ago [recovered] | Copy Link
Been in the game 11 years. Bars and clubs are the worst way to meet girls. They're loud as hell and you're in competition with other guys. I've had the most luck with coffee shops. I just strike up a conversation in line or while I'm sitting down with my laptop and it's an instant date. But if you really want basic drink knowledge:
"Jack and coke" - Whiskey and coca-cola.
"Whiskey, neat/straight." - Whiskey only. No flavoring/not mixed.
"Vodka and Sprite with lime."
"(insert beer here), bottle." - "On tap" means they pump out from a keg and put into a glass
"House cabernet or merlot" - if you like red wine
"Strawberry or lemon (common flavors) margarita" - basically a slushi with tequila
NEVER order a martini. You'll have a bunch of dudes hitting on you.
[–]WhySoSerious568[🍰] 0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Basically just pretend you're ordering a coffee but instead say the name of the alcoholic drink. Also definitely bar for a first date
[–]Pierrlebe 0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Personally I don't read (or I just Z read the profile and split scan the pic, but I just press the button like a freak and select afterwards, more result to invested time for me.

That's a problem. Ask your friends, or even a damn stranger to take pics of you when you're somewhere cool, or doing something fun.

[–]ass_blunts[S] 9 points10 points11 points 7 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
Yes... you should definitely have friends before you consider yourself ready to pick up chicks
[–]youngthrowaway66 1 point2 points3 points 7 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Why's that? As someone who moved to a new city where I know no one i find it extremely hard to find friends outside of FWB's. I thought my old roommate was my friend but he fucked me over at every chance he got tbh.
But seriously I have 2 buddies where I grew up but they're spread out and too far now. I have one close buddy on Xbox live but thats it honestly. My workplace is small and I'm the youngest by like 20 years. Idk how to get a group of friends at this point tbh. I have 2 FWB but thats basically it. Although I've only been in the game for a month or so
[–]Dr_4gon 0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
There will be a point where you say "fuck it" and just go out alone and not care about it. From there you can start. Use every dating opportunity as a finding a friend opportunity as well. Get some hobbies that involve social stuff.
[–]ImJustSo 0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
What's up with people's obsession with other dude's masturbation frequency? It's the most witchdoctory shit ever to bring up. If I'm living with a woman everyday and dating another woman or two, I'm still masturbating regularly. Never gonna stop and I ooze charisma everywhere I go. If not stroking it works for you, neat, but get outta here with that advice for others lol
[–][deleted] -2 points-1 points0 points 7 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Shit. Buy me dinner and spend money on me for a night out and I’d love you too. I’d rather have woman qualify themselves before I waste a dime on them.

[–]Pierrlebe -1 points0 points1 point 7 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
profile
- "Have 3-4 good pictures."---> Better link an IG to your Tinder, it let's them see a lot about you but a good IG is no little work, took me 10 hours to select the best pictures, about a 100.
- Pics should show you smiling, in a genuine setting --> not per se, on many pics i look away from the camera, most great pics are accidents, a facial expression, the right clothing etc..
- Be outdoors in at least 1 pic ---> Yeah if you only take 4 pics definitely
- No selfies ---> No
- Have a clever bio. A pros and cons list works well. --> I would say No no no, better is humor
- I've found it helps indicating the uni I attended and job
