I've tuned in on my Tinder game and will share some tips!
Your profile pic is the most important. I've asled every girl I met why/how they use tinder.They all express that when looking around, It is No No No No No No No OheyYES No No. Clearly you want to be a yes.I used to have a profesionally shot body pic of me up and got only 2 matches. As soon as i switched to this Ambercrombie-esque pic the matches increased drastically. Think of a pic that says "I'm cool and people like me" If you're not attractive wear shades and do your hair like a badass motherfucker. Got a motorcycle? Sit on that bitch and take a picture. The rest of your pictures should say something about your life. They should make a girl want to talk to you. 3 photos is more than enough.
Dont take your caption seriously "Just looking for people to meet" translates to 'I WANA FUCK'. Your goal is to STAND OUT so put something ridiculous there. i.e. I put "All my time is dedicated to the study of UFOs and the databasing of sightings" Stupid, right? Go for it!Give them a reason to want to talk to you!
You've got a match. GREAT! Now what? Nothing says "My life is tinder" more than messaging a girl immediately after a match. Understand that half of these girls are here for the attention, half of them are there because friends said it was fun or funny. The rest of the girls are fat and ugly (im bad at math). They dont take the app seriously at all and most times delete their profiles after toying around with it. This is why even though you dont want to msg them immediately, you dont want to wait a whole day either. 2 hours has worked for me.
Make her laugh. People say "hey" and "Whats up" I dont advise doing that. What works for me is honesty and/or flattery. Give her the impression that she's getting that attention she wants and then SHIFT. Enjoy a light hearted convo filled with teasing, joking, and flirting, and when the time comes, non-chalantly get her phone number(or give yours) . "This app is silly. Here, take my number"
Tinder has served it's purpose and hopefully you'll know what to do from here!
I hope this has helped. I've had tinder for a couple of weeks now and have had a full range of experiences. From F-close to straight up getting blocked. Patience is the key. Best of luck!

Great advice :)
Can you describe the profile picture more? I feel like I'm barely getting matches, I have one selfie(from the chest up) and one picture of my brother and I at a bar. Dressed nicely in both (collared shirt or vest and tie).
I'm assuming this is the reason why. I've gotten about three matches in a week, number closed two of them and one didn't respond (probably because I said "hey").

3 matches in a week is not bad at all!
Think of the most stylish pic you have thats not too try hard. It is really hard to explain but you want your picture to say" Yea, I've got style. I'm laid back but am tons of fun to be around." We want to avoid the types of pics that are just shirtless facing a mirror throwing up the peace sign.. That's the fastest way to get nexted!
If you have a pic of you with some girls be sure to throw that in there. IMO, besides your profile pic, the rest should be social proof.

Great post. I had never used tinder before yesterday... already have 6 matches and 3 girls that I'm messaging :)
Random question though. Are there bots on the app? I had a girl send me a ";)" this morning and when I responded the responses didn't seem based to what I was saying. It was like generic "Have we talked before?" and "Oh I can be forgetful, how are you?" This would seem normal except that I tried the would you rather game with her.....
[–]BasedSage 0 points1 point2 points 12 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Thank you! Yea there are some bots on the app. I just test them out by sending blank messages. If they say "Haha! Me too!", chances are they're a bot.

Ok that's what I figured. I reported it and moved on haha

I hate hate hate hate hate Tinder.
It's all about Outer Game. If your into that, then awesome. But if your trying to make the painful process to being a natural, it sucks.
I'd rather get out there and do cold approaches. More ballsy, I get more responses. I also get genuine rejections as opposed to superficial ones.

Also... some women may be freaked out by some dude theyve randomly been connected to on their phones, so bring up your mutual friends if you have any. It at least gives you some validity as someone who is safe for them to talk to.

I've had some great success with Tinder. I find something simple like "hey" or "what's up" works just fine for an approach. I say this because the app is set up solely on physical attraction so if the woman doesn't find you attractive it's not gonna happen anyways. POWER IN NUMBERS. Don't get discouraged, most girls will swipe left and even most of those that swipe right you won't really communicate with. So just keep approaching.

i used it a few weeks ago just to check it out and got a match. Wanted a quick bang, but it's starting to turn into a relationship. I don't recommend using it to start a real relationship, but keep an open mind because you never know what might happen.

It's a bunch of spam accounts now unfortunately.

Seriously. I added someone with the limits being 2 miles. Found out it was "580" miles away. Spam account that was too forward and pictures didn't quite match.
