Aren't you married?

Tinder is not a real place.

I've tried it and I find that it is pathetic. Didn't work well for me at all. The best way to meet women is just walking down the skreet.
I did get a few matches and have messaged with some rando girls a little bit, but one person tends to loose interest sooner or later and nothing much has really ever come from it. I date much better quality girls by meeting them in real life than the girls I've matched with on Tinder. I still flip through it regularly just for fun though.

To my 13 year old Chonker Pussycat. Yeah you read that right C H O N K E R

Maybe don’t think of people as NPCs. That terminally online mindset will poison your brain.

I get your point but I wont force myself to be naive. And look, I'm a complex dude interested hearing an old ass dude talking about self inducing state of consciousness to travel to Mars. With that said, take a looksie there and tell me 60+ % aren't NPC's.

OP:

Funnily, or rather sad enough I mentioned the very same in one of my tell us about yourself drafts.

I get you friend. Gym, supermarket, whatever. I was feeling super ultra mega lonely last night so I went to the devil's roulette... Not proud.

I'm so glad I'm old.

I just turned 40, you're around the same age though right?

Btw Not to brag but I've used tinder in the past with (Borat voice) GREAT SUCCES. Nearly 2 year Fuck spree.

But now it's different and with my issues it's hard to go out and about to meet woman IRL. But I'm working on that.


This thread was merely a rant about shit you all already knew but I needed to vent....

It also deletes my biggest asset, which is face to face personal charm, completely. So only on that front I'm at a disadvantage from the get go.

Mid forties. Been settled down now for nine years though, so Tinder never really a thing for me. Always lived in London, so always had it fairly easy when it came to meeting women out and about when I was younger, but would have had no problems using a dating site or app if I hadnt been somewhere with that amount of choice.

I met my current wife doing volunteer work

women are literally everywhere

You know. I get it. I really do. And on one side I don't want to mention autisme and CPTSD as an excuse of something but in reality it really limits the size of your framework to be in such situations that lend meeting others IRL. If I didn't had my issues I wouldn't even thought about Tinder or used it for fuck sakes. It's my inability to causally go and socialize whenever I feel like it outdoors that makes these apps something to consider. That's all babe.

Wasn't too bad for me. Got some matches, and even some sex... But man, those conversations via chat do really start getting boring and samey at some point, makes you feel like an NPC.

Try the new GAF dating app.

Have you tried just being yourself?

That's easy to say when you're stable, have a good paying job and no severe psychological issues to deal with. You're not dumb. You know mentioning certain keywords are a insta turn off while in reality those issues are very context dependent and nuanced. Now you go and "be yourself" without scaring off 90%

Not to be an asshole but it is a lot more difficult to represent yourself truthfully while also incorporating "just be yourself"

I'm constantly switching my profile to "act" I'll play the "game" or be meta and be like I see through your fake ass profiles. Like play the game and maybe get a LUCKY HIT or tell them subtle in your bio how fake y'all are. Quite the conundrum.





What do
you say

I call bitches out consistently for promoting their Only Fans. OF is legitimately the worst thing that ever happened to online dating sites. It’s literally 90% of the profiles you see anymore.

I found this article interesting. Though I am not on tinder because, screw that.

Tinder is for when you have looks or cash. "In person charm" has zero value in a market where people are primarily looking to fuck. Representing yourself truthfully and accepting rejection is probably going to be more fruitful than lying and pissing a lot of men or women off.

Op, you don’t need Tinder to lower your self-esteem

That’s what we’re here for

Nah, Tinder will destroy a man's confidence in no time. It is the most effective option for men to lower thier self-esteem.
