[Closed] Tinder, my thoughts...

Missing a trick.

Cock shot with Bambi ears is where it's at.

it`s terrible... it is just full of attractive women that have no interest in ugly fat men

I'll leave that as my last resort go-to. 😀

I'm finding that an issue I must confess! Lol

I think I might need to sign up then.

Can't really comment on "ugly" but I'm practically anorexic these days.

I dont know if it is just one of those three things or all of them combined but it certainly works...

if your goal is to be ignored

I'll post up my profile later.

(**** I will!)

Find a female friend you trust who has been single recently, let her choose your pics and tweak your profile.

It gets worse... I need to have friends?

I actually did that for a mate about 8 years back. He is a nice guy, just a little socially challenged.

I picked the pics and wrote his profile for him.

Can't remember the dating site.
It worked, he is now married to a woman he met on there, with 2 kids.

His wife still doesn't know I wrote his profile, I'm sworn to secrecy!

Cyrano de Bergerac.lol

There's a site for that I think?

His wife sell doesn't know I wrote his profile, I'm sworn to secrecy!

Alternative plan...

Tell his wife it was essentially your profile she fell in love with so you should be together and run off with your mates mrs

Hell no!
I feel a bit guilty actually, she is a control freak. She also dislikes me. A lot.

I was making a joke about my mate blocking out the sun at a bbq...

I said that JUST as his wife sat on my mates lap... thinking it was meant for her

I seriously couldn't have planned it better if I meant to.

Not my fault but I am allied to Satan as far as she is concerned now.

What I don't understand is the pictures of women's children on there, especially the ones that are just the kids. I have no problem dating women with children, I have a child too. But just mention them (not write "me kids r me life") and leave them out of the photos.

I know if I was young and single I'd be all over it though!

When my mate split up with his long term girlfriend, he might as well have fitted a revolving door on the front.....I surprised he didn't wear it out.

Good luck, and this thread is useless without photos!

3) Using apps to add on cartoon bambi ears and noses etc? WTAF?

One word: Snapchat.

Chapeau!

i completed Tinder, im now on screwfix 🙂

Should I have gone for 'one idea'?

The Family Guy Tinder episode is well worth watching

I had a great couple of months on there when I split with the wife.
Real eye opener after 15 years in a relationship.
Dating used to be so much hard work. By the time you "connect" on tinder, you already know that they're single and like you so it takes out all of the hard work.
If you're genuine, I find that it's really easy to get on with people. I had quite a few dates, all with nice girls.
Met my girlfriend on there, we've been together since April and things are great. Loads in common.
There's a lot of negative press about it but it's much easier to find someone that you genuinely have things in common with rather than ending up in a relationship after a drunken encounter with a stranger.
Good luck!

A friend of mine uses it, and has shown me some of the messages she's received 😯

Honestly, you thought youtube comments outed the worst of people? No, Tindr seems like a portal for all the illiterate, foul mouthed, genuinely unpleasant male human beings of the world. Not just a bit graphic, but derogatory and properly abusive at times.

Never used it myself so no idea if it's like that if you're a guy, but somehow I doubt it...

Obviously not all like that, she's met some nice people too, but I was properly shocked by the nasty ones.

A very attractive young female colleague, recently single uses it (pouty lip profile pic etc)

She gets a ridiculous amount of attention on it and is constantly getting posh dates out of it, but yeah some of the nastier attention she gets on there is unbelievable

Back in the day I was on a few of these sites. Plenty of rutting to be done it must be said.

The issue i found when actually trying to date someone was that they are getting bombarded with hundreds of messages every day with other blokes trying to cut my grass.

[i]constantly getting posh dates out of it[/i]

Posh dates? Not heard it called that before. 🙂

It sounds more and more like online dating sites are heading towards a mix of two Black Mirror episodes "Hang the DJ" and "Nosedive" ..

Good luck out there until the VR headsets and bodysuits arrive 😉

One of my staff uses it to troll idiots when she's bored*. You'd be amazed what requests she gets...

*one asked her for some socks, another wanted her to walk over a piece of A4 with some heels on, and so on and on....

Just saw a cracker of a profile

'jus finishd ma mastas degree nd lookin..." Etc

I might get back on there simply so I can report back on this thread.

Instant swipe lefts :

Stupid ‘kin eyebrows
Snap chat filters
Pout
Pout combined with looking like they’re straining a tough brown fish out
Shoelace tied around their neck
Standing as if they’ve had a stroke affecting the whole of one side of their body
Picture with pet French bulldog
No picture of them
Group pictures/pictures with a man

That instantly rules 99.99999999% of all female profiles out

Will the females of tinder ever get over it.

I imagine they lie awake at night broken hearted

[quote=Houns ]Instant swipe lefts :

Surely as a bloke you just have one of these so as not to rule out anybody who likes you:

Just loaded it up and first example

Pout

And the next one

Shoe lace

this gives my some insignt to how picky the women are being looking at my picture (very breifly before swiping left)

Get the odd (probably accidental) match that either goes;
I say something, get ignored or I say something, they respond with maybe a few messages then ignore me (probably after they look at my picture more closely) 😆

Out of idle curiosity Houns, what age range are you looking at? Those eyebrows hint at a younger crowd than I am playing for.

35 by using my xray vision on his fool proof censorship 😉

Women on dating apps rate about 80 percent of men below average.

Make of that what you will.

Stupid eyebrows and snapchat filters sadly have no age restrictions

Good to see that Tinder is no different in the UK than BC. The shoelace around the neck is a new one though.

I love the classic 'bathroom in a skimpy bikini with the camera high in the air being pointed down to pouty face with maximimum boobage on display' and below comments about not looking for a hook-up and slamming men for sending stupid messages....

And yes, any woman using Snapchat filters should instantly be shot.

Just stop trying to date British chavs ffs, find some classy French or Italian woman instead. Spoof your phones geolocation to some nice warm country with mountain biking.

Thankfully some time ago I matched with a lovely Woman who was one of the 0.00000000001% and dating going well

Spoof your phones geolocation

Doesn't that kinda all go to pot when someone replies and says "yeah lets meet up, I know a nice little place round the corner..."

You wouldn't catch a flight to rome to hook up with a hot Italian lady?

Seriously though... what do you say to start a conversation? interested in how people approach this

Just a nice, polite introduction, thank them for the swipe and ask something about them. Just be a nice, normal human being, doing so makes you stand out from the crowd.

That'd be some next level commitment there wiggles, I applaud you!

It's also a very slimming angle. Hides double chins and multiple other sins.

Latest one...

FYI, I've deleted this. It's probably not the Done Thing to be making people personally identifiable / showing where they work. It's unlikely I know, but if you were to find someone you know on Tinder it's by dint of being on there yourself, whereas on here there's a chance that someone will go "OMG, she's on Tinder!" If you're going to post photos it's probably best to anonymise them.

My other half put me on it when I had a long train journey up north...she picked what she felt was a good pic and off I went.

It was erm, interesting...a lot of women aren't backwards at coming forward!....the train journey went out of Wales, into the Midlands and up to Yorkshire...let's just say that if I'd wanted to stop off in each major town and city I passed through I could've...the offers were there.

There were also some genuinely sweet women who were looking for relationships but it did just seem to be a hook up site...when I got home I showed the better half the pics I'd been sent and the offers of a bed for the night...haha, she wasn't amused...anyway deleted it after that but it was a nice little ego boost and made me think I could have a lot of fun if I found myself single again!

aracer i see yours and raise you

[url= https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1424283429/tinda-finger ]Tinda Finger[/url] seriously though wtf!!

Not too sure posting pics of people from the site and slamming them on here is ethical..

We kinda get the message about snapchat filters and chavs..

Best of luck BTW

Sorry 🙁

Tvh I was just being lazy with the not scribbling on it and I made no judgment about the person, however on reflection if the same thing in reverse was posted on catladytrackworld.com or something I probably wouldn't like it so fair enough won't do it again.

Just a nice, polite introduction, thank them for the swipe and ask something about them. Just be a nice, normal human being, doing so makes you stand out from the crowd.

This is my tactic and it usually works. My favourite was an opening message that said "Do you have kids and how tall are you?" I replied politely that yes, I have a daughter and that I am 5ft 10. The silence was deafening.

'Dirty Mingers' - now that would be a dating app I'd fancy my chances in. Get to work on it techy people.

Those apps do exist, I often get adverts for then whilst on "special interest" websites telling me they in fact need more men to sign up as they have too many women!

Also have a Facebook add keeps popping up for "uniform dating" with a picture of a very attractive lady in a police uniform, however many many people in the comments have pointed out she is a character in home and away 😆

If there isn't a dating app called "Screwfix" there deffo should be one.

(complete with "bulk goods" section for, er, the less swelt of us... 😉

FYI, I've deleted this. It's probably not the Done Thing to be making people personally identifiable / showing where they work

TBH, the remaining two, amusing as they are, should also go under Sod's Law that someone on here is probably married to them! 🙂

I met my current girlfriend on Tinder, been together for 2 years this coming weekend. When I first got that app after leaving my marriage....well blimey, kid in a sweet shop! Slept with the first 4 on the first date!

I think you've invented a Tinder Bingo game

normal human being

damn it.

Just to explain my ineptitude somewhat, I was in a relationship from 18-26 had 2 kids etc so basically missed out on knowing how to do the whole dating thing as pre 18 it was not really required. So since last year I have been finding my feet as it were with all this with limited success (a few dates and some "dates" 😉 )

I know 99% of my failure is how I look currently but trying to sort that out and then hopefully have a bit more success but some people get past that but run a mile when finding other things out about me...

If you think Tinder is bad you should see POF!!! Having said that i met someone on there and after being together for six years we are now married with a kid.

POF is full of bots/scammers. Unrealistically hot girl "likes" you they say hi, if you say anything back ( I tested by replying with nothing other than a picture of my washing machine) you get a link to a dodgy site...

This is my tactic and it usually works. My favourite was an opening message that said "Do you have kids and how tall are you?" I replied politely that yes, I have a daughter and that I am 5ft 10. The silence was deafening.

My standard opening lines were, "Hi, I'm Dan (I suggest using your own name here)."
Then I'd make a complimentary comment about one of their photos.
Eg "Cute smile in that second picture" or "Love your hair colour" or "You look so happy in that skiing picture" etc. Shows you're interested, thoughtful and makes them feel positive about themselves.
Would then finish with a
"Pleased to meet you 😉 x"

Play message tennis too. Never chase a response as you'll look needy.

What’s with the eyebrows being massive thing? Started to notice it myself, which means it must be pretty common as I live in a bubble most of the time. It just looks a bit mad. Part of me hoped that monobrows become fashionable, just so I can see people with the middle bit coloured in.

Genius

* Hit the gym

* If balding, short cropped hair.

* Get to a place where you are happy with yourself and your life. Have interests, don't make dating your priority.

Everything else will just naturally fall into place.

Yeah the weight thing is being addressed, not old enough/gentically impared enough to be balding 😉

Im just "practicing" for now really. I don feel like I need to find someone etc which was my first reaction after the shock of being single again

Yeah the weight thing is being addressed, not old enough/gentically impared enough to be balding

A lot of chubby guys seem to do pretty well with women anyway, best advice is to have an upbeat demeanour....hit the gym for sure....but kind of get over the weight issue mentally...do not ruminate on it. People are attracted to happy people. Work on that.

A slightly chubby friend of mine has pulled a drop dead gorgeous woman who is an inch taller than him, because he is a hoot to be around.

Point taken, but I have a fair bit to lose even before "chubby" is applicable 😆

Ditto.

I'm not going on any dates till I've lost the weight anyway. Just testing the waters at the moment. Other reasons why dating is a no go at the moment anyway...

Come Spring, "I'm out there!"

Oh, forgot the of eyebrows "thing", yeah, WTAF??

I reckon it's a better experience with online dating being a man as there are a lot of genuine women out there. Most men just want a shag.

I want a shag too, with a genuine women. Erm, if you see what I mean?!

Fussy bastard.

(-:

Well things are going well tonight, matched with someone so went to send a message and got "sorry you have been blocked by this user" 😆 didnt even say anything yet... they looked at my profile and decided that was enough

Got 5 likes after a Boost tonight.

One is to good to be true, proper hot and no doubt lives in Russia. I liked back. Obvs.

One wants a gentleman most of the time but a tiger in the bedroom. Didn't like back.

I'm a tiger ALL of the time.

Gggrrrrr....

That is a common problem

Russian women or being a tiger, or both? 😀
