So as a relatively unattractive dude I shouldn't use this right?

I'm pretty average. 6-7 and I got over 200 matches after swiping yes on every single girl in Atlanta while using autohotkey and bluestacks to run tinder.
Out of those, probably 50 are dateable looks wise.

I don't know how you guys do it (all righties). In the last 3 days I think I've hit a bad patch, maybe 90-95% left swipes.
But it's always darkest before the dawn, right?

It's weird. I'm averaging like 60% left swipes and the rights I've gotten matches on aren't that great so far. Maybe I'm just too damn picky.

Hah! Finally some one who agrees wih me. Swiping right only just leads to tons lf matches you have to block. Just have fun with it, swiping can be pretty funny lol

One thing that will help you is that how attracted you are to a girls pics and how attracted you are to her in person are going to be two completely different things. People are always more attractive in person. Lowering your standards with online dating will increase your success rate dramatically. The girl's Ive had the best sex and the best connections with haven't been the best looking of the girls I've matched with by any means.

6-7 on a 10 scale is above average.

On a 1 through 10 scale, 5 is the average number. It isn't a 6-10 scale where 6 is bad, 7 is ok, 8 is good, 9 is great, and 10 is amazing.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_of_one_to_ten
"The lower end of any scale of this kind is normally represented by 1 and indicates the extreme negative rating option. This vaguely implies that 5 represents neutrality, an average state, or some degree of indifference."

Hope I don't sound braggy/douchey but whatever... I slept with around 11 or 12 girls since I got this app 3 months ago. It's so mindblowingly easy it's not even funny, I mean these girls are fucking thirsty!

I like the scary crazy face in the main pic lol you're good looking so it works, but its amazing haha
Edit: didn't see your edit haha. Thanks
you can say I do alright on tinder haha
Just a suggestion, some people do use it to date not just hookup. Posting photos and conversations like that is a little bit in bad taste, it's also the kind of thing that will probably turn people away from the app. Maybe try just posting as links?
I don't want to sound like a dick. I just wouldn't like it if some girl posted my shit like that you know?

I would suggest 50% or more. The stigma surrounding it being a hookup app doesn't actually represent the user base, as it has gotten popular and older in demographic it has become a casual dating app. Somewhere in between grindr and OKC. People looking to date with no expectations which can lead to fun, nothing or something maybe even long term. It's why people like it, true to real life dating there are no real expectations built in. Minus those who have a predisposed notion of what it is.
I certainly use it for fun and dating, but not just to hookup. If I tried to sleep with all the girls I have gone out with I would have surely contracted something by now, just due to volume lol. It's fun dating, I'll see 3-5 girls sleep with my favorite ones. If nothing comes of it move onto new people so on and so forth. I've even made two good friends through it.
Read through more of this thread, there's a lot more going on than hooking up.
Yeah the girls definitely don't respond to me the same way as BabySlayer. Slayer pulls off the scary face because he looks good looking enough that the girls have a mix of fear and attraction.
My conversations tend to look like this if I do what Slayer does.

Started using this yesterday.
Got 6 matches through so far.
Might leave it until tonight before starting any convo's. What's the acceptable time to wait between the desperation of "Oh my god I got a match I must talk to you right now!!!" and a more collected "I'll leave this for a bit and see what happens" before they lose interest.
First time I've ever used any form of dating apps or services so I'm completely out of whack.

LOL. I have mine set anywhere from 5-7 miles. Problem is when I matchup with someone from the west side. Made plans tonight with a new girl but shes like 13 miles away, shes also really good looking so I guess 13 miles is about as far. I try and avoid the westside if I can, I prefer to keep it down to 5 miles lol.
Even tho I have a profile I never really payed attention to the app, mainly because I don't really upload pictures to facebook. I did have a profile, but I haven't gotten many matches. That said after reading through the thread, (especially this last page) I decided to put some effort into my profile.

Considering starting over, idk. I had a day where I got like eight matches, and since the girl who messaged me first on Tuesday I've gotten like 3. This is my setup right now:

Too many group photos and not enough photos of you doing things/being the center of attention.
I really like the golf swing one though, you should put that as your second or third photo.
First one should be a nice selfie. Show off the smile.

were u guys talking to me?
Yeah does this look creepy? I'm actually in a hotel over 70% of the time because I travel for work and happened to take that pic recently. I didn't think it would be noticeable but seems like you guys can tell and now this pic is kinda creepy to me.
Thnx, but is my face that scary? Ur the 2nd person to mention that, I didn't realize it was. Maybe I should use a less-scary face like this? http://imgur.com/SLf9rGp
pls respond
There is no acceptable time, don't bother playing these waiting games like a highschool kid. Message the girl when it's convenient for you and when you feel like talking, i wouldn't worry about what she thinks
Agree with this, if you are to use a group photo with a bunch of dudes and the girl cannot tell you apart because you don't stand out or you're not the center of attention then it adds no value at all. I would remove one of both of those pics
Dude, that's also pretty scary :lol
LoL nah. I was joking about how u must be smanging so many chicks u took the pic in a hotel room u use

Ya i finally caved and activated my facebook (just signed in, much deactivation) and finally downloaded the app. Talked to one girl tonight and we had some things in common, told some jokes and it was a good experience. This is a lot better experience than I had with OKcupid. To me it felt like their was too much riding on your whole profile and the girls would get thousands of messages. Tinder kind of takes what is already made (your facebook) uses that and lets you view thousands of girls and like them, and if they like you then you can talk rather than any attractive girl on OKcupid will have thousands of messages from guys they did not approve. I like it.
Even then girls mostly ignore on tinder which shows they mostly use this for validation.
Ya, some girl from my area had "not interested in friends, relationships or whatever, don't bother me".
Amazing, lol.
Furthermore it's only validation from people they deem abnormally attractive. I've said it elsewhere and the video I posted a few pages ago is very true that women are super critical on Tinder. I was sitting with one of my friends in my dorm a few weeks ago and she was swiping left on everything lol

Just from my experience: Uninstall it, if you're not going for girls older than you.
Wait, how old are you?

Yup, 34 here. Pretty much no match with anyone younger than me (I am swiping conciously though, as opposed to 99% of this thread) and no one I would be actually interested in heh.
You'll get bombarded with 25-28yo though and it seems girls over 30 are unable to select nice photos for whatever reason. It's either full-on TNA (without the face) or the typical rouged-up, looking up, meticulously cropped facebook crap pic.
I guess it might just be me though, so take it with a grain of salt.
