Thanks, mate. Got it to work. I'm in Stockholm now!

Tinder keeps showing me the same girls over and over. Swipe "nope" to a girl, and she comes up a few days later. Swipe "like" for a girl, she also comes up a few days later.

So far I'm not a fan.

I put Tinder on my phone to check it out. I got a few nibbles across racial lines here in Chicago, but no hookups. I went to visit my sister and her family in Boise, Idaho and logged on just to see what was out there and got immediate results. Unfortunately I did it about 18 hours before I was scheduled to come home, and I was spending time with my nephews (7 & 10 year olds) who hadn't seen their uncle in years. Maybe it was the exotic factor of a Black guy in the area that did it, but I'm definitely going back and breaking open the app as soon as my plane touches down.

Agree. You need to be an extraordinarily good guy to get laid on Tinder. The only guys I know who've gotten laid off Tinder are extremely good-looking.

No way.I have 350 matches and I'm not "extreme good looking" in any possible way. I'm not even all that muscular.
I do have some nice pictures up of me doing cool stuff, and a small text that I change sometimes just to get some extra attention.

Rarely anyone in my country uses Tinder. I get only 'like, totally Bosnian' bots named Jessica or Shantelle and few real FGAS (fat girl angle shot) local girls so I rarely even try to like most of my choices. Only one match and after closer inspection she turned out to be my crazy ex so fuck it, I'm probably done with Tinder.

I don't know about Bosnia, but when I was in bucharest I got a lot of matches - same with budapest.

Oh, and to the OP: delete your account and make a new one. Experimenting seems to suggest tinder tends to prioritize new accounts and/or accounts new in a geographic region.

I casually made a Tinder account about a month ago. I don't care too much about FB, so my profile pic was still the default FB profile pic which became the profile pic on Tinder. Then I forgot about Tinder for a month. I saw people on this forum saying lots of good things about it a few days ago and so I put up a better profile pick on Tinder. I have been swiping right since then, but haven't received a single match. So either:
1) in that one month all women in a 100-km radius have already swiped me left,
or 2) Tinder is not for small towns like mine (Waterloo, Ontario),
or 3) I am too fuckin ugly.

I'd experiment with a few pics. Instead of pics that show your face close up, maybe focus on something that's more contextual. Like you traveling, or doing something adventurous. That might get you more matches than an honest/detailed picture. That's how I do it. It wasn't planned, I just happened to use recent pictures of me traveling and standing in unique locations, no close ups. It's worked for me and I'm fairly certain not in the top 10% of looks.

I've never been to Waterloo, (been to Kitchener) so I don't know much about the town itself. But I've got to imagine with two Universities (Waterloo and Laurier) there's got to be a lot of prime, young pussy in your geographical range. Edit: I just checked, there's 40,000 undergraduate students at those schools, according to wikpedia. As we know, most are women. That means there's 20,000+ young, student girls in your region. Edit #2: Conestoga college in Kitchener 11,000 full-time; 30,000 part-time students. More young pussy!

If you can find a Tinder formula that works for you (pictures + good message/text game) you could develop a nice passive pussy stream for yourself.

I'd consider investing a little more time in it.

Has anyone every tried to get a professional photographer to take candid pictures of you doing stuff?

I am not photogenic, but with some guidance I bet anyone can be made to look hot with the right angles and lighting.

[casio]

Or just use some filters on your smartphone, just like those ugly sifs do

[bacan]

Tons of girls swipe me, but I have nothing to talk to them about and have never invested the effort to bang a girl off tinder

Maybe I will just invite them out when I'm already out drinking but I don't feel like taking any of them on dates

Plus I don't use it because it connects to my facebook in a stalkerish way. Goddamn fucking facebook uploaded a ton of my personal info to tinder the first time I used it. Plus, I hide my friends from my real facebook friends so why do I want random tinder sluts seeing that?

[casio]

Just make a fake fb profile it that bothers you. Personally I don't care, and having people/interests in common makes it easy to start a conversation.

Hey, I apologize for the repost. The Tinder thread already has multiple threads of conversations going on, so I thought this was perhaps worth a new thread. I wanted to see if anyone had a fix for my point #1 (which I realized later could be fixed by deleting your account and creating a new one).

Anyway, I have no intentions to troll and am definitely not an IRT (I am Indian though). I didn't even know that there were such big gaps between market values of different races in the online dating market until I read about speakeasy's experiments y'day. I didn't even know the meaning of IRT until I read your post and searched for it on the forum. It's a bit depressing that IRT's exist in such large numbers that you had to invent an acronym for them.

I live in one of the top 3 cities for single black men in America and get about 10-15 matches a week on Tinder. About 70-80% of them are black, but at least half of those are unbangable by my standards. The few Black chicks I thought were worth going on a date with were such a pain in the ass to actually setup the meeting with that I lost interest. The chicks I've banged from there were not black, though.

I don't claim to be the world's best looking guy and not race trolling, but a White guy of equal height, build, and facial attractiveness would probably get at least 5x as many matches. There's definitely truth to the whole black guys not doing as well with online dating theory.

More than that. With the test I ran, the white guy got 31x the response of a black dude.

This calls for a new ROK post I should write. Tentative Title: Women are naturally more Racist than Men.

I'll be happy if someone beats me to it though.

[BlondeChaser]

False I'm a hybrid Asian / white (look more Asian) and I get a like or two from taipei every time I log in.

Quality sucks though compared to clubs and too much effort.

[kaotic]

What are you talking about ? Then again I live in socal, 30 mile radius at home, 10 miles at work. I've gotten about 15 lays from tinder alone and more in the works. I've gotten physical but no bang with about 10 girls I'd say. PLENTY of flakes but dgaf.

Tinder is an amazing app for me. Kind of gives me an ego boost reading the posts, maybe I underestimate my SMV. But my text game is decent and the date and I know we're already interested in eachother when we first meet. Alot of LMR but that's easily overcome by logic, bulldozing, or repeated efforts.

Did I mention I'm a 5'8, Pakistani/Indian, with beard and a fancy mustache ?

Don't be so negative dude, as the bodybuilding tinder thread motto goes "we're all gonna make it"

Interesting. Assuming your numbers are what you say they are, it's guys like you I'd really like to analyze and see how they are bucking the trends. Being Pakistani/Indian is pretty much a major DLV to most women(I'm not saying this personally just how many western women react to them), and you are 5'8" in height which is below average. Yet you get lots of matches. Either the algorithm in Tinder's back end is being favorable to you and pushing your profile to the top of the pack, or there is some unique angle in your photo, or maybe you are just a very good-looking guy.

Those are confirmed numbers, I keep a spread sheet of bangs and almost bangs, occasionally with some notes. On a good week I'll meet 3 or 4 girls. I've gotten 619 matches so far (I haven't really kept track of all my meet ups, only the most noticeable ones like bang/almost banged). Now trust me yeah...I've banged some 4 or 5's aka landwhales. Average is a 6 from tinder.

I actually met a main girl who after the bang was surprisingly cool and complements my lifestyle. She also knows that "im single and having fun with you" wanna know what's ironic ? She has a feminist logo with a fist in it on the top of her back, I love looking at that when I'm railing her from behind lmao

You know what....I used to heavily blame my race and height on why I didn't get girls. Until I started gaming and my god, being funny/assholish and being confident...THAT is where I realized "im the shit and fuck any girl who doesn't think so". Granted I'm totally white washed so cal guy (surf, snowboard, skated, the usual MO's)

My strategy is the following: Like every girls profile (filter out landwhales later and block them when matched), make sure they aren't SIF's, confirm that with IG, compliancy test such as sending a pic with tongue out and middle finger up. I use the point system (oh you like so and so beer +10 points, boy your moving up in my book) etc. I'm pretty direct in getting numbers I always try getting number in the first few interactions.

My photos are as follows:
-Underwater selfie with a go pro in a pool during a vacation (beard and curly mustache visible)
-me between a blonde and a brunette at EDC at the beach (SMV value ?)
-Me doing indoor rock climbing (face to the wall) my arms and shoulders look pretty shredded.
-Me at a bar (good smile & mustache) between a 7 blonde and 6.5 purple haired tattooed punk rock girl with fake tits (SMV value ?)
-Me by myself in the middle of the ice rink at dodger stadium (after the Ducks vs. Kings hockey game that was held there)
-Me indoors at a friends holding an ar-15 (finger off the trigger of course) with a funny shocked look on my face with a female friend pretending to scream behind me

I don't ever take selfies, no mirror ab pics, all my pics i feel present the following: fun, social, friendly, i get girls, adventure, i'm a good time

...and I haven't spoken a single word yet.

The kicker i think is my "bio" or "tagline" which is: "I'm not a player I just swipe alot"

P.S. quite a bit of the above came after reading the bodybuilding tinder thread along with read the tinder thread here on RVF

Maybe Tinder is favoring me, I'll admit I do have some pretty cool pics on my profile, one would only hope he's a very good looking guy to the rest of the world of course

I split my time between Orange County & Riverside County (they border each other)

^ I used to live in South OC.

There are alot of people there in a small radius, but also IE has many trashy white girls and fat Latinas mixed with mediocre Asians.

What would you say is the common age and number scale for these 15 lays? Curious.

Seems like 6's with a few 4 or 5s thrown in.

There is a huge imaginary borderline in Game where things get much more challenging:

Solid 7+s that are 23 and younger 10+ bangs a year.

I don't think a guy's SMV is high unless he is doing this. Include myself as someoe that is not but is working towards it.

I'd say 21-25 is the age range. Of the 15 2, maybe 3 were solid 7's, I'd say 5 were good 6's, the rest were 5's and probably 2 4's.

I'm laughing because that part about the IE is so true.

I agree my SMV may not be that high, but I'm always striving. I'm using every tool I have, and every strategy that works with my personality, so far I've seen good success. However, my kryptonite is sober day game.

^ 2 or 3 isn't bad at all for how easy Tinder is to use. Highest I got off Tinder was a 26 yo 6.5. I don't consider myself photogenic though.

Not bad.

Kinda sad though in a way I just shifted away from online as the quality and quantity is skyrocketing with Tinder, but I enjoy hunting around in person.

If intermediates here start banging younger 7 and 8s all the time only on Tinder and online I will need to reevaluate.

Soup seems to be one of the few doing this but he is advanced and has many things going for him (musician, NYC logistics, tons of online experience).

I've gotten to a point no matter how
horny I am I don't think I can fuck a girl that isn't a 6.5+. I'd rather spend time else where.

I think my last 22 yo 6.0 Asian Tinder bang last week was the straw that broke the camel's back. Sex was good, but still not that high level you get off with hot girls.

I think your case is a good example of how Tinder may kill some thirst or guys since it is so easy to get 4's 5's on demand while beig anonymous.

I hope this knocks girls off the pedestal a bit for guys that never go out can still get laid.

Time will tell.

I went on a date last night that complained girls give it up so easy guys don't have to try. This lowers a girl's ego and pushes her to be nicer.
