Is there an app like Tinder for finding people with similar interests to you? That's honestly what I was hoping this app was which is why I was quite negative about it to begin with.
Pics i'm using so far, not sure which should be my profile pic? I'm in Seoul if that makes any difference.
Okcupid
Why would you pick the first one?

Agreed, don't post solo pics with a girl (unless you're into guys, in that case go right ahead). Pics with girls in a group is fine, but people will definitely tune out after seeing that you already have a girl (even if it's just a friend, people will see that pic and assume it's your gf).
Eh. I tested this out with a fake FB account (i.e. zero friends) and it worked fine for me.
But I'm in London so finding people around me isn't really hard.
weird I've tried it with both my real and a fake account and neither show any results.
I think OKcupid owns tinder, in fact okc has a tinder like feature built into the site now and that pulls up results but this app is useless. set it to 100miles for both sexes and nothing even though theres 1million plus people in the area. no matter what distance the radar circle only shows maybe a mile around me, I don't know if that's normal or if the app is fucked.
Guess I'm going to have to finally check that site out.
Tell him flakers are a very common and natural part of the process. Shouldn't take it personally or all on the app. There will be matches that aren't attention/time-wasters amongst the fold.
"Actually 17"The thing that bothers me about Tinder is that there is some questionable/sketchy shit on there. Like, you see Jennifer, 20. Then her status line says "not actually 20". Like okay, are you even legal? And then there's ones that say 25 and the pics look like a 16 year old.
I liked it but it didnt produce results for me. There was only one guy I was really interested in but he told me he was still into his ex so I was not interested in pushing it.
I find most of the guys just want hookups so I deleted it.
Also its kind of cruel to be commenting on that girls image the way some of you are doing.
I've only been using the app for about 10 days, but I'm meeting up with my first girl later this week.
I'm both excited and scared haha. Excited because she's a looker, we've been talking a ton (extracted her phone # ASAP), and really get on well. Scared though because this is the first time I've EVER gotten together with someone online. All of my girlfriends/fuck buddies/one nighters have all been gotten the old fashion way, by meeting people through friends or work or various social circles or at bars. I've never met someone that I found online. So that bit scares me a bit haha.
Wanna expand on that a bit? Do you mean just play it cool like it doesn't matter?
Pretty much. Not "flippant" to the point where she thinks you don't give a shit. For me, it's about lowering the pressure of it all since a lot of baggage can come with internet dates. The awkward tends to be built in because it's still seen as taboo for some reason. But if you treat it as just another thing it becomes a little less tense. For me anyway.
The fact that she's foine may nullify all of this though.
I also recommend making your age range the full 18-50+ spectrum. Ive come across 2-4 really cute girls already who obviously fucked with their FB accounts to make their ages like 84.
Here's some pics of me on my account. Think these are good enough?

Well, are you right swiping a lot? If you're not then you won't get too many matches. I tend to right swipe almost everyone unless I 100% know straight away they aren't what I'm looking for.
Cast a wide net!

Yeah at first I was disgusted with the idea of swiping right on everyone, but it's honestly the only way to make the app worth a damn as a male. If you can't strike a conversation up with them, there is no point in spending literally any amount of time looking through their pics and reading their text. So you swipe right on everything and when a straight dog has the nerve to "match" you simply block them. Then when you do get a decent bite on the line you can pursue that as you see fit.

Man, I wish I were good looking. Alas, I'm only getting very few matches..I went on a Tinder coffee date with a girl and there was literally zero chemistry between us...kind of sucks but I made the tactical error of setting up a date too early (probably) but I felt like chemistry could only really be confirmed face to face....I was wrong.
I probably don't do it enough as I'm not desperate enough to start banging middle aged women with terrible haircuts, but I'll give it a go just to see if I at least start getting matches.
I don't think there's every too early to set something up (unless you're asking on the first
message). I usually ask by around the 5th message I send. I've been on three dates from Tinder and I dated one of the girls for 3 months.
I've been having shitty luck with matches recently, might be getting too selective.
Well my method is:
- right swipe like 90% of women (10% reserved for instant no no no noooooos)
- maybe you'll match with 25% of them
- block the 15% you don't have any interest in
- leaves you with 10% with potential
- probably 5% end up beimg girls you end up meeting
Best opening lines when talking with someone?
I try to pick something out of their profile if they have one, if not ask about something in particular about a photo. There's usually something interesting you can ask them about themselves without saying something lame like they're attractive or beautiful or cool lol.
My bio is empty. Lol
I really suck at this.
As it should be. 99% of the time nothing besides your pictures are really important.
