    So I joined tinder last night and have 50 matches already. Should I be impressed or does everyone just like every picture??

    I use those zip fire lighters. Rip Roaring fire in minutes. Can't have the young fellah coming home to a cold house.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,720 ✭✭✭Sir Arthur Daley


    I used to use matches but the lighters are so much handier, ones with the child lock of course, health and safety is paramount.

    wtf

    OP has 50 matches apparently so shouldn't need a lighter for a while yet to light their tinder


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,561 ✭✭✭Duff


    You need 50 matches for one piece of tinder? You'd be no good in a survival situation anyway.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 81,220 ✭✭✭✭biko


    Mmm, tender


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 732 ✭✭✭scarymoon1


    How has everyone seen my picture already though?? Nearly every second pic I like its a match! I think there's a glitch in the system or something

    I've seen your picture, and quite frankly I'm impressed.

    How you juggle four burning tyres and recite the Koran at the same time is
    amazing.

    Seems like a dating app can't be bothered finding out more.

    Its a social network where people can trade ideas with regards to camp fires and general open sitting room fires.

    Maybe they are damp? You'd be a lot better off with a lighter. One of those big fancy long handled ones that people use to light gas cookers with.

    I find sometimes with the normal lighters, if you hold it at the wrong angle, the metal bit at the top gets hot and burns your fingers!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,280 ✭✭✭Davarus Walrus


    A friend of mine signed up for it before Christmas. Having great success. The flute is almost worn off him with all the riding he's doing. Has developed an alcohol dependency as well though with all the beer he's drinking during the dates that proceed the bedroom action.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 86,729 ✭✭✭✭Overheal


    I installed it once and without even opening it I had girls blowing up my phone to give me their addresses

    It's Grindr for people who aren't gay. I tried to get the app but I need ios7 for it and I have no space to update....




    ....yet.

    Did you find any flappy birds on it?

    Consider it like speed dating. Extremely shallow app, but a good way of encountering a lot of preliminary possibilities.

    I presume the OP is female and photos show her to be not dead, given the apparent success rate.

    Yeah I don't get that either. Someone likes my pic but hasn't been active in a week!! But that happened and he then sent me a message so might be just latency in the system

    With some people on it they are looking for hook ups so it makes it easy to organise one with out the effort of pulling in a club . At least you can get to know someone slightly before you get to a one night stand .
    Also I'm not that hot at all so it works for me and it can work for anyone !!

    you can make your own tinder by putting old bits of cotton cloth in a something like a Fishermans Friends tin. Put in a fire until the cloth is carbonised.

    Tinder is like "Hot or Not" from years back but its location based. You log in, upload a few pix of yourself and now you browse photos of other girls/guys and click yes to the ones you like. When they log in, at some stage they will see your picture and if they click yes you get a match - and you can chat. If either ones says no, nothing happens. That's it, very simple, very effective.

    I've done pretty well out of it and now dating a girl I met on Tinder. A friend of mine who was absolutely and utterly opposed to all forms of online dating for many years, I managed to persuade her to give it a try as she had been single for a long long time...Anyway first guy she met fell madly in love and now they are moving in together.

    It's just a more modern way of meeting people. Makes it very simple - when you have a match you know you are both interested so takes some of the bs out of the whole game..

    What if the the other person looks hot in the pics and you meet her and she turns out to be a skeg?
