How does it even all work? I have a notification already about some Like that is asking me to pay money every month to see who likes me. Seems pretty absurd. She swiped on everything for the craic and started a conversation with some girl as well who I am guessing isn't even real. I genuinely don't know anything about this. Some of my friends get the ride out of it but is it worth pursuing for something more serious?

Church on Tuesday wrote: » The answer to this is No. It, like other "dating" apps, are trying to sell you the illusion that "the one" could be just around the corner. He/she is not. It's an ego boost for those who require that and that's about it.

Between Tinder and Bumble I've met some great people. Some dates go nowhere, some you meet up for a time and it fades out, some you get the ride and that's all either of you want, sometimes it gets to the FWB stage and sometimes you meet someone where you both really click and want the same things and get a relationship out of it. Just like in real life. I've been through all of these and have no regrets. I'm extremely grateful to Tinder that I met my ex there. We never would have met in a million years if it wasn't for it and I'm a better person because of it. Single now and having fun just going on dates and seeing where it goes Personally I would absolutely recommend it.

A Tyrant Named Miltiades! wrote: » I think it's mainly targeted towards older men who aren't particularly familiar with online scams, and maybe their wish for the dream woman is clouding their judgement. I was working with an older guy once, who was getting messages from a "woman" in Belarus who wanted to come to Ireland, and kept telling him how handsome he was despite the fact that his profile didn't even have a photograph. He was totally into it, and he kept telling everyone on the yard where we worked to join Plenty of Fish -- 'you wouldn't believe the stunner I'm chatting to'. He really became annoyed when myself and another guy tried to explain it was probably some middle-aged, bald dude with prison tattoos, using stolen photographs. But there was no convincing him. At some point I think he started believing she was his girlfriend because he'd bring her into conversations 'Nastassia always says...' or 'I'll have to go on a diet when Nastassia comes'. I assume he got burnt in the end. Scammers like that who abuse people's innocence are a special kind of bad bastard. That was years ago, though. I'd say the general level of awareness about dating scams has massively improved.
Elessar wrote: » No I'm a guy. When you think about it, it is dating in real life. You're meeting up. IMO it's far better than talking to a girl in a bar or club as you're not competing for her attention. I hate that. When she's with you, you've got her full attention. I would say go in with an open mind and just have fun, don't put pressure on yourself or the other person, dating is supposed to be fun. Have a good time, don't take it too seriously until the other person has demonstrated they want to (and you want to), and try not to take rejection personally. Oh and don't text forever, ask the other person out on a date fairly soonish, constant texting is an attraction & mystery killer. The whole point is to meet them

Church on Tuesday wrote: » Nope, it's not for me I'm afraid. I get dates in real life, when I was on dating sites, it simply was a waste of my time. There are any amount of women and indeed men who are on dating sites just to pass the time, I prefer real time interaction when you can gauge attraction and interest much more easily. Also, if you are chatting to a person on a dating site, you actually don't have their full attention, naturally they will be chatting to others also.

gilberto_eire wrote: » There has definitely been a shift in how women are using it. It's full of girls who are absolute stunners. Their pictures show an active social life. Which means between the countless men asking them on dates when they're on nights out, they're getting 100s of messages a week. When you see lots of these same girls there over a year later you start to wonder as they are getting their pick of 100s of men. These things originally were used by people who had very few social circles to meet or of lesser looks. They're just overtaken by Love Island hopefuls looking to spread their IG and SC usernames.
Brian Hartman wrote: » Even the average looking girls are bombarded with attention on these apps. And why is a girl going to bother exchanging messages with an average looking guy when she can have the hot guy? All that matters online is your face.
unhappys10 wrote: » More rubbish. I'd consider myself decent enough looking, I definitely wouldn't say I'm hot but before I met my wife I met a lot of girls on Tinder, was on it for a couple of years, easily met over 100 women on it in that time. The key was having a good opening message. Most of these girls being bombarded are either getting "show me your tits" or a one liner like "hey how are you". Put a bit of confidence and originality into your message and you'll get places, speaking from (lots of) experience!
