Tinder doesn't work for me or at least in my town. I have like a few matches over hundreds that I swiped right. Maybe the fact that I'm Asian instantly made them swipe left. It really depends on your personal situation though. For example, someone like me who has to fight against Asian stereotype, Tinder is a bad choice because I can't showcase my personality or game. With 3-4 sec look, I rarely have a chance to change their minds about the stereotype. But with OKC and POF, I can definitely compensate for that.

You aren't showing any value, prizability, or selectiveness. No one cares you are a coffee addict, and thumb wrestling is PUA circa 2006; might as well run the Cube with that outdated shit. Why are you asking to have her join you for a beer? You don't even know who they are yet. Does that sound like you are being selective and have high value? You did manage to sound upbeat and somewhat humorous, so that is something.

Here is my suggestion, just Google "good Tinder Profile content" and copy and paste some decent shit. Don't reinvent the wheel, your too new at this to come up with good shit on your own. And while it's true girls mainly look at pix, and then maybe content, the profile content is much more important for woman than for men.
I'll remove the stuff that shouldn't be there and look for some better things to put down.

I've been swiping mostly because my friends(guys and some girls) do it, and it's usually for shits and giggles. I match with girls now and again, usually decently attractive, as in a 7 or 8 most of the time, but I almost never get a response if I try sending a message. Is swiping on tinder really only good for shits and giggles?
I began using tinder one week ago (since I had never used it before, I had been locked in for ages due to uni work and I felt that my online game was severally lacking). After a bit of research and some callibrating, I got my first lay not one week later, with a solid 8/10. I am convinced and will be using it again. Here is a few materials I found to be quite useful (I actually belive we need a "tinder general" locked post in the online gaming section of this forum):

One thing I personally would modify from those guides is to maybe spend a bit more time bantering, singe girls #1 fear when it comes to online dating is to run into a serial killer. But yeah, to each his own, I guess.

I think there is a very definite range of what is not enough rapport and what is too much rapport as far as the amount of tinder texting goes.

Here has been, by far the, the best Tinder trick I have learned: After 4-8 texts get the girl off tinder by giving her your number to text to. I tell them some bullshit about "getting too much Tinder spam" you can see how that works on two levels. Once they start texting you off tinder you automatically have a leg up on those other 10 guys they were simultaneously Tinder'ing

This sounds about right as far as my moderate experience goes. Before that I totally crashed and burned a few interactions that were going apparently well by going into full autist mode and rigidly following the 3 message rule lol
I DONT CARE IF IT ENTIRELY DISRUPTS THE FLOW OF THE CONVERSATION WE ARE HAVING RIGHT NOW THE PUA GUIDE I WAS READING DEMANDS THAT I START TRANSITIONING INTO REALITY RIGHT NOW SO HERES MY NUMBER AND YOU BETTER MAKE GODDAMN USE OF IT.

I treat PUA like fight club, I never talk about fight club unless you are in Fight Club. Be careful mentioning PUA to chicks - ever, ask me how I know.

I'm working under the same principle. Friends and family do not need to know I privately study this stuff to improve myself, and neither do the girls I approach or the new people I meet.

I'm only kidding here but it would be funny to open with "hey would you prefer I approach you using the pick up artist method of direct or indirect approach."

Also how hilarious would it be if after saying to a girl upon first talking to her "I think you're cute what's your name" if she were to say something like, "oh, direct approach huh?"

I only use Tinder when I'm passing the time and I'm not out there gaming. It's much more effective use of your time to do cold approach. That being said, it is possible to meet girls and lay them on Tinder. My wing showed me how to create my profile the right away to create a fun and interesting story about myself and get the right messaging down. I've been able to pull girls directly back to my place on the first meet.

Tinder is a tool for those who need to feel validated. It's a whole new era of narcissism.

Lol

Yeah. I don't use it to get laid. Just to feel good (joking by the way) :) it's the opposite

Evidently, from fhe majority of people on this thread have been laid from it. It's just bloody FREE app that you can use whilst sat on the toilet - I don't get why everybody thinks it's the enemy. You probably haven't made an effort on the pics which is why you view it in such a negative light. Even normal AFC people get laid from it. If they can and you can't. Then you're just lacking something. Feel free to PM me your profile

Feel free to Read the link in my sig
