Tinder Problems?

DaDerv

Anyone else have problems with Tinder?

For roughly 2 months now I have been spamming the right swipe. Blatant disregard for who or what I'm swiping just consistently doing it. Its almost a habit. I can do it without looking at this stage. I even picked up an injury. My physio says its a repetitive strain injury in my thumb, similar to tennis elbow.

The problem is in the 2 months I've not had one match. Not even the fake matches where girls try to get you to sign up to Web-Cam sites. Are servers down or is there some issue with the app? I've tried reinstalling it but that hasnt worked out and its updated in Google Play to the latest version. Is this a common thing? Anybody else have issues?

Us hot blokes still get matches all over the shop,have you tried reinstalling the app or being better looking?

DaDerv

I dont even get the opportunity to be a creep, I cant get matches. I've tried the reinstall and that failed, any advice on how to be better looking? My mother and aunts tell me I'm handsome all the time.

I sold a trailer load of turf through tinder, great app.

You must be a two bagger.

If you're a male on tinder, unless you're a 7 or more you'll get close to zero matches. Theres been studies done about this, girls no matter what they look like get tonnes of matches. Average and ugly boys get close to none, hot guys get a good few but far far less than hot girls. So don't beat yourself up about it, you'll have better luck in a club in real life.:)

Turn on the GPS on your device and increase the search radius

tim3000

Are you sure you're discoverable? Check your settings and make sure that you can actually be matched. Tick the little box that says I want to be discoverable.

DoYouEvenLift

Delete it and start over because your account's obviously glitches since everyone at least matches with bots.

DaDerv

Yeah Tim I'm discoverable. Maybe I'm just a rare gem that when some girl finds she will hit the jackpot?? I've the radius set to 100mi. Sometimes it says there is nobody new around, and I've to wait a few days to try match more women?

Please provide evidence for these scholarly papers. The academic is me is dying to see these studies.

A modern day Tinderella story

I read a lot about fellas sending dick pics? It's not an approach I'm accustomed to but I'm willing to try anything at this stage. Problem is I'm not well endowed? Would that be an issue or would a woman see beyond that and want to get to know me?

The whole concept of Tinder just makes me feel very, very old

Just use a zoomed in picture. Dick pics work all the time

Particulary unsolicited ones.

Agreed, its an incredibly glitchy app.

Everyone enjoys dick pics, here's some of my favourites

There's an element of truth in this, even ugly girls will get a ****load of matches,one girl who i'd consider way below "average" would get around 50 matches a day on Tinder,a decent looking will only get a tiny fraction of this (unless he is properly good looking). A good looking girl will get a match the vast majority of times she swipes right, she can pretty much have her choice of guys, the other problem is that if you have 500 guys swiping right on one girl, odds are she may never even get to see you as you are so far down the queue. Tinder has changed over the last few months, I'd always get a fair few matches but these days it's decreased a lot (and this is consistent with lots of other guys too on another forum I use)..it's a cool app but the way it's implemented is a bit of a disaster.

Also if you spam right on every girl, Tinder algorithms pick up on this and so you get further picked down the queue, also delete your account and start over, it puts you at the front of the queue for a short period of time so you'll get some matches.

A large amount of male users press heart on every single female profile they pass, hoping for an eventual match. That means girls get lots of matches.

out of interest, why do you need a facebook account to set tinder up?

Pretty sure you don't? It just uses it for syncing purposes, friends, pics etc

Fixed your username for Ye!!!!

But seriously don't do this, unless your asked first. Not speaking for all the wimmins but I don't like when blokes do this anyways. My photos were full of random dick pics from clickin on them! They were also in all shapes and sizes with various haircuts so don't be worrying about your big little fella

Or little big fella?! DervThePerv...i have been known to go by this, its purely a coincidental and unfortunate rhyme, it doesnt reflect on me at all. I've been put at ease by the thread. I think I'll resort to a different tactic. Tinder is a waste of time. I think I might try going outside, see are there real women there and maybe after a couple of months of 3 second eye contact, say hello maybe even start up a conversation and see where it goes from there. Don't want to come across too needy. For now I'll spoon my pillow.

It gets your pictures from facebook, it also displays mutual pages you've liked with potential matches, doesn't post anything to your FB if you're concerned about that.

What about pof? Someone posted this on the singles thread the other day .. Just for the funnies..

DaDerv

That is it....in a nutshell right there! Ok all joking and sarcasm aside, I've been on POF and that place is insane! Probably better than Tinder admittedly. Still ended up deleting my profile. Women are weird on it....at least some I chatted! Maybe I'm just unlucky in love, I'm sure it along with Tinder has its success stories and many long beautiful relationships are indebted to it!

siblers

What kind of pictures are you using? One bad picture will stop you dead in the water.

WoollyRedHat

Do you any pictures of you wrestling a polar bear? I have one and it gets me all the matches as it shows I'm one ice cold mother****er.

If you think the women are weird on pof Ye wanna check out the men. I was once asked about my lady gardening preferences and the bloke then informed me that he needed a landing strip for his Mickey mouse plane. true story !and yes it was actually very funny.... But did I meet him? Nooooo!

DaDerv

I have one of me cuddling a puppy? To try show there's more to me than my looks and intellect but also a sensitive side....you know what I mean?

Well if that line didn't work what hope is there for the rest of us?! I like how he's asking the questions that needed to be asked. He was after a relationship I assume??

The Backwards Man

I get a lot of girls with picture of giraffes. Is that to signify they are tall or that they are a major threat to trees in their local area?

Yes yes he definitely wanted to marry me and have my babies ! He was a fecking nutter loved sending the Micky pics as well! He clearly hadn't tended his garden in many a year !

And as for the puppy pics well done everyone knows the wimmins are suckers for puppy's ..... And babies can you find a random baby and get pictures of you with him/her and say it's a niece or nephew ..... On second thoughts maybe don't do that ha!

Much like the way the anonymous group from 4chan associated with the hacking have their masks as a symbol, the giraffe is the symbol of an Imgur user. They too wish to take over the world but not via hacking. They plan to use kittens and carefully placed images of dickbutts. So I believe, I may be wrong.

I can find some babies? I see where you're going here. Make it look like I'm daddy material. I like this idea. Not sure how ill work in the kidnappings but that's just a minor stumbling block.

Almost every girl I see on Tinder was last active weeks or months ago. Tried reinstalling but it keeps happening so I just deleted it.

You have more chances of getting a date by just randomly approaching girls in the street then getting a date from tinder, unless you are super hot fella with super duper amazing pictures.
Competition for males on dating websites is insane and females become extremely picky. Even the girls who are average at best become as high and mighty as Beauty queens.

I'll take my chances on nights out instead off dating websites and apps.

I've had quite a few dates from Tinder and I wouldn't consider myself particularly attractive. Once you can show you have a half decent personality etc then it's not that hard.
