I tried making a facebook, but when it tries to do phone verification it gives an error message that it can't send the text and to try again, but it never works no matter how many times i retry.

So I read the workaround is getting 50 friends so it doesn't have to do verification. I get 50 friends and I still can't fucking use this app. Fuck off Tinder. Does it want me to put my phone number on Facebook or something?

You don't need 50 friends. That's for that other dating app whose name I don't remember.
You can make a FB with zero friends and be fine. Perhaps your phone isn't logged into Facebook properly or the account isn't synced properly, so that's why Tinder can't connect to it. I dunno.
Maybe try it again on an Android emulator.

I tried 2 different face book accounts. I tried adding the app from facebook. I tried deleting it from facebook and adding it again. I've tried deleting the app from my phone and readding it. I've tried freezing the app on my phone and deleting it's cache and storage from my phone. Every time it gives me the damn phone number verification error message. It does a popup on my phone to login to the facebook site and it says I've already authorized the app on my facebook, but it still does the damn phone verification error. The only thing I haven't done is install the facebook app on my phone and see if the Tinder app tries to connect to that.

That's what I did, and it worked fine. Then I noticed that Tinder doesn't play well with my phone, so I installed an Android emulator on my PC, put the FB app on that, logged in, installed Tinder, and then logged in there.

I just tried installing the facebook app on my phone and then the tinder app and still the same bullshit message. I'm taking this as a sign that I shouldn't get on there.

That feel when I get a hot girl matched only to correctly guess she will be a bot
Yea the easist way to tell is if they only have one picture and no about me.

So how can you determine what the person is looking for without painting yourself into a corner?
"so, you looking for a hookup?"
"eww god no! Is that what you're looking for???"
"uuuuh, no of course not.... I was just testing you"

Conversation. Make it casual, brief, flirty and set the meet early (assuming you're interested in seeing them).
Not only is that kind of gauging best done in person, but the process serves well in weeding out those that are just looking for someone to talk to for a little bit or that just use Tinder for kicks. If they meet-up, in my experience, they are most likely sexually interested on some level and you can take it from there seeing whether they're down for a hookup or sex in the future. I've had some girls come out that just wanted a clean, fun time too, but that's not an all-bad deal for you either.
Gotta try that. Sick of conversations dying in the first three sentences. At least I already got four dates in three weeks and a great deal of matches.

Yeah, you are so right about just asking them out early. See what happens, take it from there.

Well, met a girl. Very cute, had a nice conversation, dinner and went for a walk. Walked her to her door and went for a kiss, just a little one but then she turned it into a full on french kissing makeout session. It was great, couldn't get enough and it went on for 10+min and then I asked if she wanted to go upstairs but she said no. We continued to makeout for a bit longer, then said goodbye. This was on Sunday.
Texted over the next day or two and when I asked if she wanted to go to fearfest next weekend she made an excuse for Saturday even though I told her we could go Friday and Sunday too. Haven't texted since.
So I guess that's that?

So Tinder fixed my login issue a day or two ago. I'm on the app and why does it seem like most of these women have professional photos? I get a message from one girl asking if I want to get married. I send a witty response and she comes back wtih "so you aren't like those guys at hookupshere.com who just want sex" or something like that. This is a bot right? Profile only had 1 pic.

"Is your name really ____? So many liars/creeps on here. I'm deleting this app, but txt me at XXX-XXX-XXXX"
What kind of idiot falls for that shit?

After a few days on this thing I don't really get the appeal. You have to like someone and then wait for them to like you and vice versa and then hope to spark a conversation without knowing really anything about them. Meeting women in real life is much easier than this as well as on other dating sites. It seems like more than half the profiles are fake as well since it seems most of people have professionally done pics as their main photo. I thought it was supposed to be good for hookups at night, but it doesn't only show you people that are online.

Their profile shows you how long ago they were last active.

Still though, you don't know if they liked you unless you like them, so when they were online is kind of irrelevant. Maybe I just live in too big of a city for this program to be decent or I need to give it like a month.

Just give it some time. You'll get matches. Don't immediately dismiss the not so attractive ones either. Start up a friendly convo, preferably opening with something other than "hi", and ask her out on a date within the first 5 to 10 minutes of the chat. Otherwise you'll most likely be forgotten in the crowd. Timing is key.

When you edit your profile, you can select the 6 pictures that people will see when they're looking at your profile. The big one, obviously, is your main profile pic.
The "About Me' blurb is what girls see when they look at your profile.

"When negging goes really wrong!"
Thanks, God. Here's a workaround for Facebook's stupid automatic profile pic cropping:
Upload a placeholder picture file, then open your Profile Pictures album. Use the icon in the upper right corner to remove the picture. When you click back to the wall showing all your Friends and Liked Groups (The F to the left of the search bar), your profile picture will be blank. If you're lucky, Facebook will ask if you want to upload a picture and will show you a green Add Photo button. Using this will upload your pictures in full resolution without trimming them. Take that, Zuckerberg.

It's all about the photo, man. I wasn't having much luck either. Then I said "fuck it" and did what everyone else does. Uploaded the most unrepresentative and misleading photo ever.
20+ matches in less than a day. The shallowness is real.

Set up a profile yesterday and have gotten 9 matches so far. Haven't taken any recent photos lately though and certainly not a good faceshot so I think It'll improve quite a bit when I do. I'm going to have a friend come over and take some photos this weekend. My question is whether it's better to just reset my account since I just made it to reset any potential matches or just ride it out?

I changed my profile picture to a much more professional one as compared to the selfie I had before and had 30 new matches by the end of the night as compared to the 9 I got the day before. Otherwise I can give no advice, I just joined
But yeah, just take care with the pictures you put up.Will say it's a bit awkward starting conversations. Never done the online dating thing before and everyone I've dated has either been a school mate or a friend of a friend. Trying to find a balance between real questions and non-sequitars.

That's what I did. I never use my main profile so suddenly flooding it with photos would probably arouse questions, lol. Plus I remember reading that Tinder used to tell you what friends used the app(think they got rid of this) and I have no intentions of accidentally discovering my great aunt is using this to get laid.
