You gotta think: what's on a dating app for a women that she cant or doesn't already get from going to the club, bar or even the mall. If the goal is wanting a confidence man, meeting on tinder has already put a damper on how she will see you, opposed to fighting Social Anxiety and just walking up to her in person and making a powerful first impression.

Most women will use those apps for reasons other than to find someone to date. Its essentially used by Women to help inflate their ego, letting the 3's feel/act like 7's and the 6's feel/act like 9's in terms of difficulty in actually meeting up.

Whenever they put in their bio "Not active in here, message my Insta/snap!" That translates to: "I want more followers and I'm probably not gonna respond to your DM (Unless your hot, then maybe) but you'll follow me anyway." -strange how they're "inactive" but still matched with you.

Women's tinder profiles are filled with matches and most female friends I have and those I've actually met up with and talked to said they most have the app just for fun and dont actually take (meeting up) seriously.

Even if you have Tinder game on lock, you cant deny that even just standing out and not falling into the ocean of matches presents it's own challenge, before conversation is even established.

Essentially: have tinder/bumble/ whatever is free but use it as a 2nd resort, and dont expect anything out of it. Suicide swipe, mass message, then pursue the ones that take the bait, anything more is a waste of your time.
