I know there is already a tinder mega-thread devoted to talking all-things-tinder, but given the importance of this app for many of our successes, I thought it might help to make a thread specifically devoted to compiling our collective knowledge about ELO scores and maximizing matches based on swiping.
Obviously we are all clear at this point that if you want to be successful on tinder you need good pics and a tight profile. That is clear and if you don't have that you should get to work on it before bothering with the rest. But, provided you have these things:
To make a long story short it's been a while since i've been back on tinder and I noticed some changes since a few years ago. When I used to use it (eg 2013-2015), I pretty much liked as many girls as I wanted and generally got a ton of matches with hotties. Granted, I didn't use an auto-liker app and only swiped girls I found attractive, but never had any issues generating a lot of matches with hot chicks fairly quickly. Tinder was still really popular two years ago, so I don't think the issue is that the market wasn't saturated before, either.
Fast forward to now, and things seem to have changed a bit (pardon my absence to those saying "no shit" at this point). I've spent quite a while reading about ELO scores and how they work, and they still seem fairly elusive because no one knows exactly what they are based on. So, i'm curious about your guys' experiences.
From the prior tinder thread, I see some guys recommending a strategy that they create a new FB with a throwaway email every so often, create a new apple userid and buy a new tinder subscription, and then they will apparently get a "boost" that increases their matches for 48 hours until a new ELO score is generated. These guys then recommend to only swipe 5-10 girls at first and wait 24 hours---then afterwards only like another 5-10 that are likely "sure matches" and wait another 24 hours, to make sure your ELO gets set well because presumingly girls that swipe right on you will appear at the top of your deck.
Can other people attest to this strategy working? What other strategies have you guys tried? Is the age of "auto likers" really truly dead? I ask because this guy made a pretty recent video saying they still worked for him with evidence and he was pretty normal looking: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vcrS-fvOyZI.
I am also curious if anyone has tried this location trick: http://wheretoswipe.com/the-tinder-trick/
Also, given this new ELO algorithm, is it true we shouldn't swipe large amounts at a time (eg 30+ an hour, a few hundred a day in a large city) because it can nuke ELO scores?
Also curious how often you guys reset your tinder -- and what method do you use to do it (eg new fb account or same but delete tinder account and "unlink it" on FB?). Obviously not ideal to have chicks seeing your face over and over if using the same main profile pic. Also, does anyone have any thoughts on if they do the ELO score by mobile number you use to verify your account and not your FB account? Curious...obviously getting better tinder matches would save us a lot of time and money spent in other places for those who like online game.
