Oops, I didn't mean it that harshly. I just mean that if a strategy only results in a few bangs a year I would recommend considering changing that strategy. Maybe I should just shut up before I did myself deeper but I think that unless a strategy is producing 5-10 high quality bangs a month it is not optimized. It's true that everyone's situation is different. When I am 90 I will probably be praying for 1 good bang a year hahaha. That said every strategy should be considered in terms of return on investment and opportunity cost not just on bangs/month.
High quality bangs? Tinder? 5-10 high quality bangs a month?
Is anyone here doing that?
Seems most of the guys finding success on tinder have sacrificed quality in favor of quantity.
I don't want to be one of those guys who says looks are everything but if guys out there are getting 5-10 high quality bangs a month on tinder they should look into becoming a male model.
Then again I guess it depends on the person's subjective view on what constitutes quality.
But taking a gander at the just had sex thread, the overwhelming majority of "tinder bang" stories can largely be summed up in one word. "Meh."
It's true there's rarely any adventure in tinder bangs, but there's also rarely any adventure in any online game in my experience. It is very rinse and repeat. I have just been doing tinder because I wanted to figure out how to beat the game.
I personally think that the reason guys are not getting much out of tinder on this thread is that they have bought into the tinder=looks mindset. I had to pull myself through a couple of creative hoops to get past that.
(Edited my initial post)
There are a variety of reasons why some guys struggle on tinder. From September to Early November I had 189 matches (I'm a selective swiper). I was content with that match rate and was feeling pretty good. Got objectively better pictures thinking I would do even better. After deleting my profile more than a dozen times due to bugs, I'm currently at 10 total matches from Mid-November to now. I would get one match in like 3-4 days, get frustrated, delete profile, repeat. I realized when I went to the city, that was the only time I would get matches. So there is something wrong with my gps when I'm home. Aside from that, I've encountered numerous other bug related problems that Tinder doesn't seem to give a fuck about. So personally, I'm not getting matches because I'm not being seen, or I'm rarely being seen. Shit, even when I delete and make a new profile, it won't even accept my phone number to send me the token, I have to use a friend's.
But aside from my personal dilemma, as I mentioned before -- way too many obstacles to have a consistent stream of quality women. A lot of it is location based, but then of course you have competition, you have as I mentioned before - dead leads of a wide variety.
And yes, Tinder is looks based. All online dating is. Tinder more so because a person's profile only pops up if you click on them. Well why bother clicking on them if you aren't physically attracted to them? How many chicks are saying "well this guy is ugly but let me see if his profile can win me over." I'm not complaining, that's just the nature of the beast, and we should all be doing everything in our power to maximize our appearance online and off. But facts are facts. Only a small percentage of dudes are going to get both the quality and quantity they feel satisfied with on Tinder.
I've mentioned before, any tinder bang I get is a plus. It's house money. It can't get much easier than tinder in terms of gaming. I don't have to leave my house. All I do is swipe right, exchange numbers, and take it from there. I think every single man who lives in a big city should be using tinder, but not because he'll have any consistent success (he most likely won't) but he'll get something, and anything he gets is better than nothing.
But we have a lot of big time gamers here, and I haven't seen any of them get both quality AND quantity on tinder. They may hit it out of the park every now and again, but not consistently. Sometimes for factors beyond their control.
