They're both as bad as each other but if you're decent looking and in good shape you can get results. Hinge is better than them both.
[–][deleted] 28 points29 points30 points 7 years ago (5 children) | Copy Link
Bro, on Hinge their algorithm is terrible.
I get like 4 DISGUSTING fat, ugly, frankly weird, completely unattractive women in a row...
...and then I get one slamming babe who is obviously not even on the app anymore and most likely a fake account set up by Hinge itself lol
It's pretty lame, and from my understanding Hinge is more for dating / relationships versus tinder and/or bumble being hookups
[–][deleted] 8 points9 points10 points 7 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Gawd I love the disgusting fat, ugly, frankly weird, completely unattractive women! Best head bro. Give it a try.

It's decent where I am, but I'm in a city in the UK where its use maybe more prevalent. Its easier to think of interesting shit to say because everyone's got to answer questions.

Yikes!
I am screaming at your description here. You are too funny!
I met my girlfriend on hinge. Hinge is great! I actually matched with some hot girls on it.
[–]renfsu 64 points65 points66 points 7 years ago (17 children) | Copy Link
I disagree since women on bumble are content with letting the timer run out and never send a message. Plus, there are a lot less women on bumble
[–]dogenes09 41 points42 points43 points 7 years ago (8 children) | Copy Link
Note:
I've had a few times where I hit the "extend match" button (sometimes almost immediately after matching) and had the girl message me. I always ask, "Do you just wait to see if the guy will extend you, so you know he's actually interested?"
They usually reply yes.
[–]renfsu 22 points23 points24 points 7 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
I get unmatched if I extend 🤔
[–]dogenes09 22 points23 points24 points 7 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
Some women probably look at it as too much interest. That's the problem with women: consistently inconsistent.
[–]GuerrillerodeFark 15 points16 points17 points 7 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Almost as if they have different personalities...
[–]dogenes09 4 points5 points6 points 7 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Almost...
[–]Tamazin_ 0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
And how many are bots that do that and similar? I.e. How many of them do you meet?
[–]dogenes09 0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Two of four. They aren't bots. I can establish that pretty quickly.
[–]Motor_West 0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Are you a blade runner?
That is interesting. I didn't even know that was a thing.
[–]greenpoe 14 points15 points16 points 7 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link
Less women but they've got more initiative. Personally out of 50+ matches on tinder, I've met up with 2. With only about 12 matches on Bumble, I've met up with 3 (ignoring the ones that I matched with but never messaged me). I like Okcupid too.
The thing is on Bumble you'll get fewer matches but the ones you do get are more likely to actually respond.
Another thing is, Tinder has "boost" which if you've got money it's a huge benefit. The first time I boosted I got tons of matches (but I got mad because the last time I did it, I got zero).
[–]renfsu 3 points4 points5 points 7 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
In my experience, bumble users have a higher emphasis on race (which isn't good for me). I live in a college town though, which may mean a mean a more favorite for tinder in my area.
That's true. I'm half white and I match with way more european/white/south american women on tinder than bumble
Ok Cupid has too many feminists and trannies for me bro.
[–]jenkinsonfire 0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Have you noticed this happening more often lately than before? I sure have
[–]Omegeddon 22 points23 points24 points 7 years ago (8 children) | Copy Link
You'd be onto something if bumble chicks didn't just open with hey
[–][deleted] 15 points16 points17 points 7 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
No no no. They say "hey there" haha. It's ridiculous.
[–]Omegeddon 12 points13 points14 points 7 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
I just find it funny that they expect us to be instantly amazing but can't come up with anything themselves
[–][deleted] 19 points20 points21 points 7 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Dude, women for the most part have no substance. My 8 year old autistic nephew is more fun by a long shot. At least he can hold a conversation and doesn't say "fleek".

Like cmon I tried to make it easy for ya.
Even a quick Google search lol
[–]TotalHitman 26 points27 points28 points 7 years ago* (4 children) | Copy Link
Better pro tip. Forget using social media to pick up women and actually go out and pick up women. You'll only get an instagram whore if you spend your time on Tinder or Bumble. Somebody who's more concerned with taking pics for likes than actually enjoying the moment. So get off your phone and go out. You're instantly in an advantageous position if you do that. You hold the power to make things happen. Also, go to a gay bar and try picking up some bisexual women. Almost guarantee you'll get somewhere with someone because most straight guys won't go to those places which means less competition. No abundance of straight guys. Straight/Bisexual women are forced to be less picky. You're suddenly high value because you're one of the only straight guys there who'll fuck those women.

You act like bar game is so easy with all of this sexual harassment bullshit going on.
i guarantee if you actually sexually harassed someone you would get away with it every time. so if you ARENT a sexual harasser then absolutely nothing would happen to you.
[–]TotalHitman 1 point2 points3 points 7 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
You act like bar game is so easy with all of this sexual harassment bullshit going on. Unless your game is 100% on point, you’re going to fail miserably and return home to bust a cry cum.
Then start reading her IoI's before going into kino. Stop being shit scared about sexual harassment otherwise nobody is going to be fucking. Yeah, you will get turned down a few times, but you might also get lucky. You're probably going to be wanking anyway if you don't go out and try so you might as well grow some balls and develop your game in the process.
I don’t like bars. I don’t really care much for social gathering things at all. I like to be by myself or with some friends. Plus, I’m far too busy and far too poor to be wasting all of my money poisoning myself chasing some bar trash ass.
I bet you're fun at parties. How are you even going to meet new people if you don't go out? Get over yourself and pick up a hobby or do some volunteering work then if a bar isn't your thing. Also, who said you have to drink? Don't drink. Humans are social creatures and nobody is going to find you if you don't put yourself out there - So you'll pick some random instagram trash you hardly even know, but you'll look down your nose on somebody who actually goes out for a good time?
I’ve got a sexy honey from bumble coming over to fuck my brains out at my shitty apartment tonight so I’d have to say bumble works better 🤷🏻♂️ I’ve fucked about 5 girls on tinder (years ago when tinder was actually useful) and guess what? I’ve not fucked one girl at a bar ever lol

Oh wow! 5 girls! You probably could have tripled that had you actually gone out and took some chances. It's concerning and amusing you find that both impressive and hilarious and I wouldn't be bragging about that at all. This all clearly shows that you have no game, but more concerningly, you're not even looking to improve yourself.
Do yourself a favour. Get a crash course in seduction otherwise you're the one going to be crying behind a smartphone wanking over the very few girls left on Bumble and Tinder. Take a chance, be brave, improve yourself as a person, get yourself out there, develop your game - thank me later.
[–]fleshlightandblood 2 points3 points4 points 7 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
I completely agree with Op. The strategy is wait for them to hopefully message or at like the 22nd hour just extend. Don’t get overly attached to potential matches and only invest in matches who are willing to keep up a decent conversation. My stats are far more sad than other people that have shared but here goes...
Tinder
1000 tinder matches, ~300 real conversations (same as most girls who have to send that first text on bumble), 3 dates/in person meet ups, 1 that lasted longer than 1 meet up
Bumble
~250 matches, 200 led to more than just the 2 text exchange, 4 in person meet ups, 3 lasted longer than a one time thing
I personally hate the “hey” culture but it’s impossible to read what every girl ever expects your first words to be. And first impressions mean everything. That’s why I’ve always loved bumble!
No way 200 out of 250 matches actually sent a message, let alone multiple. Maybe you mean 250 that messaged, not that matched?
You're telling me 4 out of 5 of the girls who match you send messages? Most bumble girls let the timer run out. Maybe you aren't even looking at the actual matches?
[–]SmashBrosNotHoez 6 points7 points8 points 7 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Pro tip: Get a picture of a buff shirtless guy and then photoshop your face on there, for 10x more matches.
[–]philsmock 7 points8 points9 points 7 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Pro tip: use the most popular network in your area. Period.

Of all the other points here, this is the truth.
[–]Clbull 9 points10 points11 points 7 years ago* (30 children) | Copy Link
I think online dating in general is an absolute sham.
For someone like me who has been rated a 4 to 5 on the looks scale, online dating doesn't work and I've tried all kinds of dating apps and sites in the past including POF, Tinder, Bumble, Happn, Coffee Meets Bagel, Okcupid, Hinge and even Match.com. On four of those platforms (Match, OKC, POF and Tinder) I even took out premium memberships and tried them for a bit of time - for features that don't help people get dates.
While I've had the most success with Okcupid (before they made terrible changes to the site to make it more like Tinder) I've had no success whatsoever with Bumble, Tinder, Happn or Hinge so far.

no keep the hair. buzz cut, you srs bro?
[–][deleted] 7 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link
[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
at least suggest a high fade dude. buzz cuts are for people who are balding. it's not attractive to have no hair
[–][deleted] 7 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
it's bad but not that bad. should attempt propecia/rogaine and get a fade. he's not at the buzz cut level yet.

[–]Mr_Lonely_Heart_Club 5 points6 points7 points 7 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
No, it's not. Don't be lazy. Google some tips. Spend more than $12 on a cut. Get the stylist to make it look nice. Watch what they do to style it and ask how it's done.

go to a proper barber and say, do wahtever you want
[–]Clbull 4 points5 points6 points 7 years ago* (0 children) | Copy Link
I'm gonna go to one tomorrow. There are some decently priced ones in town, about £25 a cut. There's also a designer unisex hair salon that is roughly £40.

Does Stevie Wonder run a looks-rating website?
Why, is a 4 too high?
[–]officerkondo 3 points4 points5 points 7 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Not on a scale of 1 to 14.
So a 2.85714/10 then. Okay, thanks for the critique.
[–]officerkondo 2 points3 points4 points 7 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I was giving you shit. I’d put you at average in that pic. You could bring it up with some grooming. You don’t have any bad facial genetics.

[–]JulioMaxmimus 0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
They're all rigged in some way to maximize profits. I firmly believe that even if accidentally, most dating sites have figured out how to cultivate fake profiles and maximize them for profits. If POF expects me to believe that "ged_sdfgfgh345" is interested in meeting me, they should work a lot fucking harder at trying to convince me.
[–]HazyAttorney -4 points-3 points-2 points 7 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I would rate you as a 4/10.
[–]Zaalymondias 2 points3 points4 points 7 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
Let me know how that goes for you after like 3 months. In my experience, girls are usually too shy to say hey, and bumbles algorithm is pretty shitty. You'll end up with no matches eventually no matter who you swipe on
bumbles algorithm is pretty shitty
Seems like it collect up matches and give you none for a long time (even months) and then suddenly a bunch at once despite no changes.
Also I think its kind of backwards. On tinder swiping right on everybody seems to (rightfully) lower your rating, on bumble it seems to improve it. I have no proof for this theory, but it seems to be what happened to me.
[–]Zaalymondias 1 point2 points3 points 7 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Part is true, you dont want to swipe right on everyone for tinder. Their algorithm is built so that the amount of swipes in a certain time frame is captured. Give yourself 10 swipes a day, and only ten. Swipe right on only the girls giphy finds attractive. Should help your odds
[–]K3wp 1 point2 points3 points 7 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
Doesn't hurt to use both.
[–]K3wp 0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Letting something like that get to you is a problem you should avoid.
Ignore them ignoring you.
[–]dani098 1 point2 points3 points 7 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I think it varies from area to area
[–]JulioMaxmimus 1 point2 points3 points 7 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
I don't even take any of that crap seriously. I immediately message the girl "Send me your number, we should meet up soon" and if I get no result, then it was a never a go to begin with. Because after all, if she swiped you, she really did want to meet up with you right? If not fuck the BS
[–]bobyd 1 point2 points3 points 7 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
nobody uses bumble here
[–]J_A_B_88 0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I've had more luck with hinge
[–]nasty_nater 0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Pro tip: Now delete Bumble and use Hinge.
Seriously I'm getting matches like crazy on this app.
[–][deleted] 7 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
[–]fleshlightandblood 0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I count a match when they send a message, letting the timer run out doesn’t count. 200/250 responded again to my response.
[–]ColdCaulkCraig 0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
i use bumble and tinder, only other i used is okc but it's trash
is there another app i should be aware of if im interested in both hookups and relationships?
