Mig picante, I wouldn’t judge your value based on a dating app. The problem is men’s real life values can halve on an app while women’s inflates.

This is why the sugar rush and cougar blitz is coming.

I re-joined bumble again but deleted it again after 48 hours. I got 0 matches, so spending any more effort on there is a waste of time.
Great feedback though! It's time to go monk mode and sort my life out first.

The women I have been dating that I've met and pursued in person are ghosting, being flakey and not that interested in meeting up so I thought I would try meet some women online.

Something has changed, I am now late 30's and being a student is not acceptable in their eyes. Income expectations of women have gone up. In person I can pass for late 20's.

I don't think online dating is going to work for me until I find a decent job.

Lie about your age tell em you’re a grad student

There's an app called FaceApp that uses the data points on your face to digitally enhance it. I'm sure you've probably seen the silly posts on FB of people making themselves look older, younger or like the opposite sex.
Anyhow, I haven't had time to get updated professional pics so I used it to enhance my smile, eyes and beard and that shit works wonders! Bunch more matches with the same gotdamn pics, lol. Us non-photogenic folks gotta even the playing field.

Problem is what happens with the face to face meet?

They'll be just as disappointed as you seeing a girl who you thought wasn't a fatty.

Don't be like a girl and use a face tune app or a body thinning/thicking app.

Maybe I'm old school - but yes get pro photos done ASAP if you can and if you can get for free through a friend, the better.

All those filters and apps are for the broads bro.


The upside is chicks usually aren't good at telling changes like guys are when it comes to physical attributes.

So hopefully they won't notice (if the changes aren't that drastic) - but just don't be surprise if a hyna scoffs.

Chicks are stoopid.

When I used to use Plenty of Freaks I would try and find a pic of someone who looks like me on Google Images (I hated anybody in my local community seeing me on that trashy site). I was only very rarely called out on my obvious fakery. 99% never mentioned it, and I used to bang a lot of 'em.

Fair enough - if it works then don't fix it.

That's why I mentioned women aren't good at identifying stuff like that like us guys are.

Yeah man the changes are REALLY subtle. If I have a full beard in a pic, versus stumble in real life they have no clue I actually struggle growing a beard.
Also, I tend to squint when I smile, so the enchancements make my eyes bigger.

Bloody hell that FaceApp. I don’t what it did but I look like a model with a chiselled face in one of my pics and I’ve 16 new women in my queue.

Interesting. But no sources cited:

“Basically, new male members are sent to the bottom of the barrel and have to work their way up to be shown to the more popular members based on how many right swipes we get over time. I assume the first batch of matches I got was a little taste of the top to convince me to not insta-delete the app out of frustration. From my research other men experienced the same thing right after signing up.”

Online swipe apps have gotten harder in the past few months. Part of the reason is HD front cameras. If you're pics are not up to HD standard, this can affect you. I'm also convinced these apps don't always match you with women you actually match with.

Conversely, a woman wearing sunglasses from afar who isn't fat (even if very pixelated) - is guaranteed a right swipe. lol.

Bumble isn't as big here in Malaysia as it was back in Aus where it seems to be overtaking Tinder.
I ran out of girls pretty quickly and now only a half dozen or so new ones pop up every day.

May be something to this. I'd go days without a match then as soon as I got one I'd get like 10 more within a day. Then go a few more days without a match, then get one out of the blue followed by another 5 or 10 that same day. Definitely feels like there's some dicking with the algorithm to determine if you even get seen.

Same happens to me actually..

When I first started bumble I had enough matches right out the gate to keep me busy. I just deleted it, but will recreate my profile soon and report my results. Interesting theory about hanging around longer and getting top tier talent.

I’ve been using the 30 man’s claims as a working hypothesis (men’s profiles start off at low value and increase with selective swiping and conversations).

Three weeks in, I’m getting more right swipes from better quality and younger women. I rarely right swipe first as I don’t want to waste the chance to match with the higher quality profiles seen just after logging on.

The fuzzy preview of pictures is enough to see who has right swiped you already if you don’t have bumble boost.

After selective left swiping when I tap out interested women, I seem to get pushed up the rankings where I get more right swipes.

Still, most matches still disappear after 24 hours.

But yes, I matched with a local hot brunette whom I tried to match with on tinder many times with no success.

Bumble sorts on your attractiveness. You start out at "average". If you're above average in looks, you'll slowly filter up and be shown more often.

If you're below average, you'll filter down and be shown less often.

So sticking around only works if you're attractive.

I've gotten nothing off Bumble.

I'm not really willing to put much time and effort into it - it's still way easier to just go out and meet women in person.

For instance, last night I met a woman just based on what I was wearing - argyle sweater, blazer, collared shirt, all with brown tones, and brown slip-ons. She walks up to me and is like "It's so cold in here. I love your outfit. You can keep me warm." Resulted in a blowjob. (part of style is just wearing clothes that all have one tone in common, and one piece of "flair" - for me it's my white sport watch).

I am not particularly photogenic, but in person I dress well and have charisma. Swipe apps do not play to any of my strengths.

I can't figure out the patterns and I usually pick up on patterns like I'm Rain Man.
Maybe try re-uploading your pics. There might be something to new pics that put you in the top of the heap since they're big on re-presenting profiles already swiped left on thinking you'll get a change of heart.

I've been crushing it lately after "touching up" my pics. At least twenty plus recent matches and actively messaging about 10 different women at any given time. I'm sure the re-uploaded and favorably swiped touched up pics have put me in the algorithm gods favor.

I won't lie, with so many matches I can see what chicks are doing. They are talking to MULTIPLE guys at ALL times, which is why it's imperative to strike while the iron is hot and push for the meetup.

I tried FaceApp and the right swipes that I received increased.

After I left swiped women who right swiped me and matches expired, I received 10 new right swipes in a package as if my profile was temporarily on the top of the local list.

Bumble doesn’t compress your picture quality like tinder so you can leverage FaceApp.

I’m going to resist right swiping first for a few weeks and assume the selector role.

Saw this bullshit last night on the app:



Every chick who thinks she's a country girl has a picture shooting a gun.

^ bumble is known to be run by white knights so no shock there. The whole premise of the app, if I recall correctly, was stated to be some kind of 'feminist experiment'.

Ironic though because it gives far more power to the men using it than the women.

I'm starting to use these apps with the bare minimum of effort, mostly to funnel them towards my instagram.

If anything my results with these apps (quite poor) has given me more confidence in my personality, game, aura, presence whatever you call it. Because there's quite a big divergence between what I can get in real life vs online.

This is the first time in history that feminist behavior has been incongruent with feminist stated intentions. Imagine my shock!

Bumble is the official sponsor of the LA Clippers!!









Probably the most random sponsor associated with the NBA.
