All my matches have been gfes or kind of whalish. I don't mind a bit curvy but goddamn. A couple I've chat with are kinda cute tho and I think I'm waiting too long to ask them for coffee somewhere.

Pro-tinder-tip: Do whatever the gently caress you want. Every chick is going to be pissed at you for not approaching her in JUST THE RIGHT WAY. Some think you should open with lovely pick-up lines, others hate them. Some won't give you the time of day unless you force a conversation on for two weeks others will think you're too pushy for messaging them first. I talked to one girl who got pissed at me for asking her questions. Like, absolutely none or she'd freak out because we had to have ~*genuine conversation*~ whatever the gently caress that means.

Just do what you do. There's no right answer

This is very accurate. I've only been using it for less than a week, but all the women I've chatted with have responded differently to the same basic greeting.

I just pretty much say 'hi, how are you'. Not some crazy pua script bullshit, but unsurprisingly enough, everyone responds different. A number of women ignore it of course, but it's pretty much :effort: personified.

also if she messages first then she's worth putting like 10x more effort into because you're p much already set (this almost never happens)

Is this poo poo solely for college kids? Because I want to punch their loving faces in as it is without them having access to the wonderful pussy on tap machine that wasn't around ten years ago when I was there. I'm moving city in a few months' time is what I'm saying. I don't want to be creating an FB profile for gently caress all. What's the age range?

tbh wonderful pussy is prolly an overstatement. buuut yeah i imagine tinder+dorms is prolly pretty crazy, kids got it lucky nowadays. we actually had to go to social activities like a lame rear end bowling alley in the dungeon on campus and lame outdoor campus film festivals.

if you live near a college campus it is literally a pussy mill, sorry guy


also met some girls that i like as friends too so it's been cool for campus stuff. me and a few girls signed up for a school beach trip together and it was because of tinder so cool i guess

still though if i was actually trying to find a wife i would not use this app, but i guess that poo poo happens

well living near a college campus was literally a pussy mill anyways so i guess much hasn't changed. my campus used to have a lovelab which was a cart full of free condoms and they just strolled it all around the dorms. remember to use protection guys

you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack

Tinder is going to be its own undoing, because like any business they're going to want to expand, and eventually they're inevitably going to put in some sort of way to distinguish yourself as only wanting a hookup, so they can court other folks who want to date more seriously, and then everyone is going to not select that and mark "short term dating" and "activity partners" because of the cultural shame of casual sex, and then we're back where we started

like a quarter ofthe girls who bothered putting in any text already have some variation of 'not looking to hook up' in their profile

if you narrow it down to uggos and fats it jumps to like 80%

well idk but if it makes you feel any better down here in australia most women using tinder have no interest in actually meeting or even talking to anyone, they just use it as a dumb drinking/party game where they swipe aimlessly through random men's faces together

the lowest you can set the age minimum to is 18, yet I occasionally see 17-year-olds pop up. never younger than that, though.

It's already is overrun with fake robo profiles created for things such as call girls.

Also nerds are hacking it in attempts to improve their odds:
