Post subject:  Tinder frustrations

Hi guys,

I’ve been using Tinder for about 3 weeks now.
I’ve been putting some effort in my swiping and I got about 100 matches so far.

About 20 of them were fake profiles spamming me. Let’s say I swiped right too fast on 25 of them (too ugly).
Which leaves me with 55 woman I can work my skills on.

From these 55 about 65% responds to my opener, which is always just the smiley face with hearts.
So I “started conversations” with about 35 of them.

Most of the convo’s end quite fast with them not replying anymore.
Most of the other convo’s take a lot of time before they actually answer.

I try to be “different, flirty, funny” however I feel this is really going nowhere.
And I always read you need to limit convo and try to go for meetups asap.

What’s your guys take on this?
Should I be more patient?
Should I try to go for longer convo’s?

Tinder isn't for everyone. I think you need to find another outlet to meet women online. Seems like you are either trying too hard or not hard enough.

Post subject:  Re: Tinder frustrations

Alright, here's a few pointers.

1) Personally I'm not a big fan of emojis. Especially ":)", ";)" and ":p". Those are arguably the worst you can use when attempting to flirt.

2) You quality them. Too soon, and for no discernible reason. And it's what every other guy does. What does a nice type of girl even mean?

END OF CONVO
"You're definitely picking me up in that tank on our first date". That would've been my opener. That picture is a goldmine of conversation flow.

3) Same here, more or less. You realistically have little information to draw a conclusion like that. Even if her main pic is her skydiving it's still either you stating the obvious or grasping for straws. It comes of as boring at best and insincere at worst.

END OF CONVO
As a side note, asking someone if they're always so talkative as a means of encouraging them to talk is similar to asking the shy person if they're always so shy in an attempt to have them be more outgoing. It never works. In fact, it pushes them away even more.

END OF CONVO

This conversation could've gone sexual real quick. I ask for her shampoo and she said she likes to share. That's a shower sex innuendo begging to happen.

Anyway, I won't go through all the examples because there's a lot of them, but aside from that, the underlying problem here is that you're talking. And that's pretty much it. Sure you're throwing in some drink here and there but you're doing it without foundation.
Look at your exchanges, you're hardly - if at all - flirting with these women.

I don't even remember the last time, if ever, I asked a woman where she works over tinder. Partially because I honestly don't care at this stage, but also because I see little value in that conversation. I prefer to joke around, roleplay or tease.

Op, keep trying, this is completely normal. Don't expect instant results...seems like most attractive girls on there (anything above a 6/10) gets hundreds of matches a day-literally. They may talk to you, but realize they are prob talking to other guys as well, and everyday get messages from other new men they may find interest in also. It's a numbers game and unless you look like Brad Pit, odds are going to be slightly against you since you are competing with other guys..it's just how it is.

Weird thing is I either have complete dry spells on tinder where I can't get a single girl to talk to me or I literally can't keep up with all the girls messaging me. It comes in waves.

I'd advise you to give Bumble a shot-only girls can message you if they really want to talk to you...I find my success rate 10x better on there...I don't even use tinder much anymore.

Lastly, if you're going for the real hot ones, pick up is always better in person. I've been doing the whole dating app thing for years and overall it's a huge headache...even if you finally land a date with one, they are still super picky since they have so many options and prob tons of dates lined up with other guys like yourself..I may sound slightly bitter but these apps often lead to disappointment...I have much better success in real life. If you have no other way to meet women then it's worth it I guess though. Just keep at it and keep your head up..

R.C., thanks for taking the time.

I decided to stay away from Tinder for a while, not knowing what I'm really doing (gamewise) makes it extremely difficult to analyse yourself on an app like Tinder. Instead I will focus on game in real life ( just capped my 100th approach this weekend 8) ). I believe my text game will be easier to improve with woman I actually met since I already need to establish a foundation and will have a better understanding who I'm actually dealing with...

I noticed how difficult it is for me to actually "flirt", hell I even had to look up the word to know what it actually means.

I've had a lot of Tinder dates and got laid once. You aren't missing much. When you start learning how to get more Tinder dates, you'll quickly see that stupid app is famous for women who post inaccurate photos of themselves. Photos from 10 years and 50lbs ago!!! Pisses me off every time so I gave up on it.

Anyway best advice I ever got for Tinder was getting their phone number and transitioning to text messages as quick as possible. Say something witty to get her interest, then say hey you sound cool mind if I text you instead? They usually say yes. Then game is up to you from there.

Just my thoughts on this
