Been getting some really hot matches on here that I have been working on between Tinder and Hinge.
Can be a bit of a process in getting numbers though. Some girls just ignore but you have to give a good opening and they will respond. If I still get no response I use a back up response thats pretty charming that does the trick.
You have to realize that these girls are getting bombarded with messages all day on this thing. So be original and stand out. Otherwise you will be at the end of the line
I would post my openers and and lines but I don't want them to become overused by people seeing this thread.
I will give advice on what pics to use
Pic 1 - Best pic of yourself
Pic 2 - Pic of you and a girl
Pic 3 - 2nd best pic of you
Pic 4 - Pic in a social setting with friends
Pic 5 - Optional. Another good picture of you, maybe doing an activity
Avoid selfies

Tinder does not work for me. Oh no, not because I have a fake profile with a giant robot on it, but because I see ZERO profiles on it. I'm from NYC. My Tinder is just searching people without ever finding anyone.

I've gone on around a dozen dates through this app still seeing a few of the girls, one in particular is great.
Tinder is fuckin dope. Works amazing here in LA.

Been thinking about getting on this but I need new pictures as I look bad in more current pictures or they're all super old and don't look like me anymore.

Ugh... why does she have like six knees. Would not bang.

I've been seeing male dude bro profiles showing up with the female profiles.
Fake. Common man, if you're going to use a dating site you gotta learn how to use Google's reverse image search.

Fellas,
Fake profiles will send you messages acting like they know you and have you click on some bullshit or the site is plastered on their other pics.

Pretty sure most are aware of that.
Does it ever link or show up on your facebook? I really don't want coworkers or family to see I'm on it. I'm always paranoid I might accidentally press something or it'll put something on my wall.
Well if she is then good luck to you!

Just a PSA mang.
I see where it goes though cos there have been a few that looked too good to be true, ended up being real.
Wow, I had this app for 2 days with barely any matches. Now I find myself replying to someone every 20 mins.

Lol it's not competition it's just I wouldn't want any lurkers from other forums coming in here and linking this thread to another forum like reddit.

I need to take some better pictures before I try this.
You can choose.

You guys need to tag yourself in the pics on Facebook for tinder to reconize the pics. That's why some of your pics might not be showing up.
Maybe I'll post a convo or 2 later. Some girls are simple and will respond with a simple "Sup beautiful" and others you need to be more creative. There were a few girls that I went back to after my first failed attempt months later to secure a number.
Also if you guys get stumbled in a convo bring something up in one of the girls pics to keep the convo going. For example one girl had a pic of her partying with Pauly D, so I said something about his hair. It can be anything.

Lol they're not monitoring when you were matched. It wouldn't matter.

Before you couldn't, now you can choose the main pic and rest from your fb.
How? I don't even the option to

Press the three lines on the left hand side, Go to profile then edit. There should be Xs next to the pics. You can drag the pics around to choose the main picture. Hold the picture down for a bit to drag them. It's 5 pics on your tinder profile so delete some to make room to choose from the rest of your fb profile.

They do it just for a laugh and to kill time. Which is why when you message them you don't get a response.

Maybe they don't realise this, think of themselves as ugly. What if being considered beautiful is measured by how many guys they attract? But maybe some guys are intimidated and if these ladies don't get any responses IRL, then they become as self-defeating as anyone else.
Ah, gotcha. It hadn't pulled in any pictures except for my profile picture which is a cartoon character and 1 pick from 5 years ago. Good lookin' out. I was wondering why I never got any matches.
That is super interesting to me. Discussing social dynamics is a lot of fun.
Definitely. I mean, the initial criteria is "what do they look like". You aren't going to find any marriage propositions here.

One of my female friends is actually using it to meet dudes to date, shrug.
Given that I live in LA, have awful photos of myself and am not exceptional looking (not that I think I'm ugly) I found it kind of useless.

My pics are 100% real. Hinge uses last names and mutual friends so you can even check their profiles. I know the blond girl from years ago and I am FB friends with her and never thought she found me attractive at all until I matched up with her. It made getting her number easier than taking candy from a baby.

BS.
More than enough women are not using this to hookup, theres a mixture of everything here. If anything this is the ONLY dating app/site which works. it's akin to seeing someone who would interest you in real life and then it's up to conversation.
I know many women and guys like myself who are using this more than just for hooking up. Maybe that's just what you're looking for so it's all you're finding.
People who look at this as the straight grinder are wrong. The hookup app is not tinder, it's called Blendr.
Yeah, totally wrong. It is not the same at all. Full blown dating websites are bullshit that breed personality incest through fake profiles and self obsessed versions of ourselves. You're far worse off on their than tinder. How could you ever expect to find crap on a dating webs tie or profile matching system. It's not real, Tinder relies on human interaction with very little upfront information, just like real life.

In my experience with this, a lot of women use "im looking for only a relationship and not a hook up" as a massive defense mechanism.
Why didn't they just use Blendr?
Yeah you're crazy. I just like nearly every pic to see who matches, has worked greatly benefit for me. Found someone I really like.

Just because they're hit on all the time doesn't mean it's by the people they want to be hitting on them. I've had a few ridiculously hot girlfriends that I thought had to be fake profiles when I first saw them.
Well put.

I tried this app a few months ago, and literally the first 20 profiles (maybe more) I Liked were 'matches' and replied instantly with a bot message. It got so tiresome to deal with that I just gave up and uninstalled it.
Is there any way to avoid this?

I mean...if you wanna use Tinder as a tool to diversify your front line on the war of romance, that's fine. Using it to get you more exposure than you'd have otherwise is a pretty smart move. But if you're looking to use it specific to find long lasting relationships, I don't think you're going to have a lot of success. It doesn't seem to be tailored towards that at all.
How is this any different than going somewhere like okcupid, ignoring all of the text and messaging people purely based on their photos (which is what most people do anyway).
