So they join a dating app for the sole purpose of swiping right and rejecting guys on purpose? Utterly bizarre.

Who could work out the mind of a woman?

its like when your bopping away on the dancefloor and a girl starts eyeing you up and dancing beside you,rubbing up against you suggestively,so you think youre in and start making moves only for her to run back to her friends tithering like an idiot....makes no sense to us men!

I was in a pub in Liverpool queuing for the bar, and I felt a hand touching off my backside. I took a sly look around and saw a nice blonde hairdo. I turned back around. Then it happened again. I said to myself, ok she wants it bad. I'll turn around and start chatting her up. When I turned around, there was a girl with a handbag, and a small umbrella poking out the back, that had been rubbing against my ass

That was my first thought as well
You'd want to be one ugly bollox to get no right swipes back from your selection of 100

The whole purpose of tinder is to remove any ambiguity.

A person joins tinder to date.

By swiping right who the girl is supposed to be interested and wants to meet up.
End of.

Instead if she swipes right and wastes her time and his talking and then gets annoyed when he asks her out she can't justifiably be surprised.

If she doesn't want any unwanted attention or conversation then don't swipe right.

At least the women in the pubs who pretend to be interested get something out of pretending to be interested - a free drink.

The women who swipe right on tinder - get nothing.

It makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.

It makes perfect sense. Lady is interested in dating so joins tinder. She indicates that she might want to get to know somebody and maybe go on a date with them. At a certain point she does not want to go on a date with the Op, or wants to take more time before going on a date.

If the chemistry was right then it will work.

Swiping right us not a blind commitment to date

Is speed dating still all the rage ? I did it once. Wasn't very successful. I reckon if you were good looking, you'd get more rides than Shergar

The whole purpose of tinder is to cut out all that crap.

You swipe right if you want to hook up.

I joined tinder and bought a month subscription and started swiping.
There were a lot of very attractive women so I was swiping right quite a bit and then I got a few matches.
Happy days?
These women want to meet up for a nice date or casual sex or they want a boyfriend or meet prince charming and ultimately marry the man of their dreams?
Right?
Wrong!
Once you get past the "Hi any craic?" "Where are you from?" etc and then start having a conversation and try to move things along to meeting up it starts getting weird.
These women say they don't meet strangers on social media and they find it "creepy" that you would ask them out!
Tinder is a DATING app!
What are these people going on tinder if they don't want to get together?
Are they insane?
I did date one or two women and had some fun but tinder seems infested with idiots who seem to be okay with likes and then get annoyed when you actually use the app for what it was designed - ask them out!
The mind boggles!
It really does!
You have to literally wade through all these people who are on a dating app but not interested in actually dating before you meet the women who do!
Imagine you went to a restaurant to get a meal or a drink but all the tables were full but none of the people clogging the tables were there to have any food and the owners couldn't kick them out?
That is exactly what tinder is like!

That's your problem right there.

Tinder is a dating site for hook ups, dates, one night stands etc and when you swipe right and you get a match you should have a reasonable expectation that that the girl is interested.

That is the whole purpose of the app after all isn't it?

So you exchange pleasantries and conversation and you ask her out and suddenly she says she isn't interested in meeting up after all?

So it is reasonable to ask why she is even on tinder in the first place? Or why she swiped right in the first place and waste her time and mine?

Imagine if a race track could be rented so rich guys could drive their supercars at full speed and some rich girl books the track to drive really slowly in her car and holding everyone else up? That's effectively what these women are doing on tinder.

Maybe she lost interest over the course of the conversation??
Or was just on tinder to look out after a breakup etc

And was just msging due to being hungover....what deos it matter....just msg another wan

Gaygooner · 13-12-2015 11:02PM

It's like Grindr lately- it's a sex app- try Facebook for friends or plenty of fish for relationships!

Whatever happened to good old fashioned NSA??? I blame the marriage referendum!

When I did the speed dating, there was this unbelievably good looking girl at the table. When I went on their website to check the stats over who got the most matches on the night, she was the leading girl....and then I saw that she was top of the leaderboard for the previous three speed dating sessions that they had run. That's when I realised that she was there for the ego trip and to boost her stats. I'd say some people using Tinder are also there for the validation that they are good looking

Seems like this is the source of the problem. Maybe they don't find your pleasantries so...pleasant?

And you're right, swiping right gives you a reasonable expectation that she's interested. Whether she remains interested for long enough to agree to a date with you is not guaranteed...

The women put their details on the app too didn't they?

No doubt they bought subscriptions as well?

So they are on tinder swiping right and not meeting any of the men and have no intention to?

And somehow I am in the wrong?

osarusan · 13-12-2015 11:04PM

Do you consider it possible that people might want to go on dates with people, but not go on dates with you?

"Hello" or "Hi" is unpleasant?

If she swipes right and then has a conversation with a guy on a dating app (not a social app or a political discussion app or a religious app but a dating app that is for the purpose of dating) and never had any intention of meeting him then why do it? It defies logic and common sense.

Why would you buy a subscription? You can swipe for free.

Tinder was intended as a dating app but in reality it's more of a social media game a "hot or not" type thing, it has a reputation for being inhabited by guys interested only in sex.

I would suggest tinder is not the correct platform for you. Have you tried POF?

You can never complain to a woman about not getting a shift or a ride. Nobody owes it to you
