[Closed] Tinder, my thoughts...

I think she likes 'em tall. Beyond that I have only been joking with her. PM me

Just bumped into my mum's best friends daughter who I used to spend a lot of time with when I was little and our parents joked we would end up getting married...

Well how wrong were they 😆 I'm well... Me and she is an actual professional fashion model now 😆

Well I'm 6'6" on the phone so I'm yer man. Just got to make sure she and the Wife don't bump into each other...

Funny thread this..

So, a few questions.

When on the site can you filter age/ethnicity/male/female.

So: say, you fancy dating someone a lot older (20+yrs) and maybe of a certain ethnicity... is that possible ? Can you filter for that/those criteria??

Age, you can filter and distance, the rest is done by swiping.

It's a small World. I saw a doctor on Tinder that I'd previously dated, having met on PoF. Some new photos, some of the same.
Hope she get's her man.

Is the part when I find out it's a fake person? 😆

Asked her out she said yes and now she is actually talking to me more and gave me her number 😮

What is wrong with her hmmm 😕

Chaps - one of my colleagues is looking for a man. Edinburgh based. Be fun to set her up with one of you. warning - serious roadie cyclist and marathon runner

I can send her my Tinder name...

It's totes truthful with recent pictures.

Only one issue really, though the pics were taken late last summer I've put on 4 stone since then. I'm a power eater.

Hey, it's the net, can't actually put up pictures of what I am like now. I mean,duh?!

Oh, tj, do you get a finders fee or anything?

(Don't say I did that.)

Only one issue really, though the pics were taken late last summer I've put on 4 stone since then. I'm a per eater.

Well done on planning ahead 😀

I literally had a haircut and updated my picture (lost a few pounds but doubt much off my face 😆 ) and I have easily quadrupled the attention Im getting 8)

I've honed that sort of doubt into a fine art mate.

I sometimes just look at the face of a woman and within 60 seconds I've worked out how the relationship would end. Saves a lot of expense though to be honest.

I mean,I got dumped once for wearing shorts too often!

FFS WOMAN, IT WAS THE SUMMER AND I ONLY WORE THEM TO THE RESTAURANT TWICE!

SHOOT ME!

To be honest mate, without a triple stomach bypass and a full face transplant I'm peeing into the wind! 😀

Is there a dating site?(sight?) For blind women? 😉

Oh, I'm not going there incase there is an "ism" involved. 😉

My dad's mate is blind and he always has really hot girlfriends... I think it's the dog thats his secret weapon

Bit extreme taking on a pet to let a leg over.

That said, the year is young and by October I'll be queuing outside Battersea Dogs Home no doubt. 😀

Blindr?

Blindr?

well played.

Haha well done 😀

Just posting because I dont want this thread to die as it was too amusing 😀

I have nothing funny to add at this stage, fed up making conversations keep going with most of them so waiting to see how this date turns out saturday to figure out if I need to keep trying 😆

Well....

My months paid for membership ran out yesterday so now I have to "not go on dates tool I've lost the weight" as a mere minion. Lol

I got a like but I see that tinder pixelates the image so you can't see who it is to like back.

However...

Having tried closing one eye and squinting the other I think I can make out the face.

Kind, natural look with a pleasing smile.

Sorry man. She's got a boyfriend and has a heavy pill habit.

Jokes like that you really should have seen coming.

P.s. This thread won't die wiggles!

Spring is on the way and young men's minds will inevitably turn to biking, gardening and getting a bunk up...

When that happens this thread, through our determined desire to get laid no matter the personal cost or p*** taking endured will come to the fore.

It shall become the go-to dating resource on STW. Lives will be changed, soulmates/shipmates met and many a pipe shall be cleaned by Louise.

Then we shall still be around to hand out advice on the epidemic of STD's gained by our loyal followers...

We shall always have a role to play my friend. Always.

I actually met my Ex-louise on a forum... (not this one) and look where that got me 👿

I`m still very much in the when am I going to find out the massive fault with this girl stage... attractive, seems nice, smart and able to hold a decent conversation and most importantly finds me attractive 😕

I have already warned her she may see me in person and run away 😆

Then we shall still be around to hand out advice on the epidemic of STD's gained by our loyal followers...

That reminds me I should check the expiry dates... they have been in a wallet for quite a while

EDIT: nope got 2 with 3 years left. That should see me through to my 30`s

Man this thread really got screwed up by the update, for me it's only show half the quotes in quote boxes etc

So much for it being a long term source of knowledge 😆

I mean,I got dumped once for wearing shorts too often!

FFS WOMAN, IT WAS THE SUMMER AND I ONLY WORE THEM TO THE RESTAURANT TWICE!

SHOOT ME!

I probably should say that after going "**** it, I'll give it a go" it does seem that there are a fair number of people there genuinely not just looking for a shag, and I'd never realised you could actually read stuff about them before swiping!

Anyway, back to the humorous posts.

So other than don't wear shorts any tips for my "date" Saturday?

Tips? I’m no expert but I’ve had a bit of success recently, so I’d say:

1. Spruce yourself up befor you go. Nails, nose hair etc.

2. Be the best version of yourself as much as you can. That means relaxing a bit and helping her relax by seeing that you are chilled. It’s only a date, not an arranged marriage 😉

3. Be a gentleman. Even if it’s bombing and you have **** all in common, be nice. If she’s a tit, be kind back to her. If she gets shitfaced and wants to shag you put her in a cab.

4. If it doesn’t work out don’t take it personally. It’s not.

5. Tidy your place up, change your bedsheets and have protection to hand in case you strike oil 😀

thanks, although I'm meeting her during the day for coffee so some of those are probably not relevant 🤔

any tips for my “date” Saturday?

Yes, lay off the porn.

a quote from one i got a match with.

"My story is i'm quiet shy,so take my time getting to know someone,need to fell a connection as well as attraction. I'm a slow burner believe in quality over quantity ."

Then she answered back with one word replies to my long messages .

Frustrating  or what .

All those spelling mistakes as well 😆

But yeah same here with a few of them start saying they want to know more about you but then just only talk about really superficial things and don't ask many questions.

I think it's just a front to try and put people off who just want a quick Shah

All women on dating sites have a minimum of 5 chats going at the same time so I suppose its difficult to be in depth and interesting to all of them,so they just keep the good stuff for the best looking men,it really is that simple 🙂

A useful filter i find is tell them i was Butcher in a previous career and that gets rid of the Veggies .

any tips for my “date” Saturday?

Yes, lay off the porn.

While we're at it, any for my date Sunday?

And go in with a “loaded gun”? Risky proposition.

While we’re at it, any for my date Sunday?

Sunday eh...well maybe go to church and take her up the aisle.

can recommend these as long as you charge them up with a powerful torch just before you emerge from the bathroom.

[img] [/img]

here in action :

So wiggles has a date tomorrow and phil has a date on Sunday.

Please God tell me you've checked with each other it's not the same woman!

If it is,very decent of phil to go for seconds. 😀

Do keep the thread going lads, it's really fun reading your progress.

😉

Just a casual observer here (I have a good female friend who is trying various dating apps) but has anyone tried Bumble?
Seems as though the female makes the first move which, in theory, means they are interested in the guy so should save you boys an awful lot of hassle and false starts!

Anyway, carry on! Threads like this are like car-crash TV 😉

(And good luck to all)

I tried bumble for a bit... Got maybe 5 matches and not one of them ever said a word to me!

Also on the whole having loads of guys chatting to them thing key there is to get their number to text/WhatsApp or whatever to keep them having to go on tinder to talk to you 😉

Bumble's great. It's the lazy gent's meal ticket.

Bumble.... Hmmm...

Not heard of that one.

Might have a look. Can't do any harm to ignore more (if lucky) women until my body size fits my profile pics again. 😀

Well, checked out Bumble. Not too bad actually.

Only issue is you have to link it to a FB account...

Not a lover of FB and only use it for a club and have a made up name on it. By which I mean not even a name, just a comment! Lol

Not sure of if can be bothered to set up a "real" FB page just for Bumble.

Anyway....

Good luck for tomorrow wiggles, hopefully we don't hear from you till the day after !;-)

I mentioned Bumble to a female friend just now.  This is what she said:

Ugh. Bumble. Don't get me started.

you both swipe still.

But basically it allows men to do the rejecting.

Women have 24 hours to contact a man after matching. Then that man has 24 hours to respond.

Response rate for me was barely 1% it felt like

I guess people just right swipe everyone these days and then filter at the end. That's not how I roll. 

It pissed me off. So I quit.

Ok, you've convinced me, I'm in!

Thanks but I only have a short window of time to meet her so no shenanigans this time at least

Oh, cougar your friend...

She live in SE and like fat guys that will definitely lose the weight to look like their profile pics? One day?

Tell her it's more of an investment scenario.

<span style="color: #444444; background-color: #eeeeee;">"Thanks but I only have a short window of time to meet her so no shenanigans this time at least"</span>

Come on, you're in your 20's !

I use to be called Minute Man back then. 😀

I know this isnt in the spirit of the thread but I think this girl has potential to be more than a 1 shag wonder

Joking aside, it is ultimately about finding just such a person mate.

I think the joking is just a way of getting through the inevitable hiccups of dating. Online or otherwise.

I'm not she I'll ever get over someone that called it a day with me around 15 years ago.

So I suppose you either have to laugh or cry. And I've done the later so... 😀

Yeah if it goes terribly then I`ll be back to make plenty of inappropriate jokes again  😉

I even told her about some things about me that I usually reserve for after ive had at least some fun first that scare them off very effectively and it doesn't seem to have worked thus far so we shall see

Oh and also I noticed tinder has a search function within your matches... I could be on there 10 years and not have enough to need that to find someone in my matches 😆

I'm all for mentioning most of my negatives almost straight off. 😀

Bluntly, is a litmus test really.

If they day "bye" then it saves us both time to find the right person. If such a person exists for me. 😉

Heck, once had words to the effect of "how can you see the beauty in life if you haven't seen the darkness in it too" then went on to touch upon the depression I've suffered from.

Surprising how many weren't put of off such blunt truth actually!

Regarding search function,ditto !

In fact my current litmus test is to see how long I can ignore them for before they remove me as a match.

There are a couple of tenacious ones left! 😀

Yeah, that kind of my way of looking at it to (although tbh I have just not mentioned it for a while to some when I didnt think it was going anywhere so thought id at least get something out of it first 😆 )

Some will just not bother because they want someone "perfect" or just dont want to talk about anything serious the better ones will usually respond with opening up a bit about their past/themselves and they are the ones you know that are actually interested in connecting with someone (other than just via the boy/girl parts)

I have one match that I got the first day I joined tinder nearly a year ago but I know my mate used to shag her so I never said anything to her but she is still on there haha

Was telling my mate I'm going on a date and made an incredible typo

"First dates are more just about finding out if they see me and just rub away"

Obviously I meant run...

Hmmm... I am beginning to doubt your intentions! 😀

I looked my friends Tinder app, Jesus it’s full of ugly losers in the city where he lives.

Seriously?! Ugh.

Maybe there is a filter...

Well date seemed to go ok, had coffee and sat chatting for ages until we were asked if we want anything else which is cafe code for "if not get out" so went outside and sat in my car for a bit (as it was cold) talked for a bit longer didn't want to push my luck too much so just gave her a hug this time.

I'll find out if it actually went well if/when she talks to me lol

I'd say the answer is a definite yes...

<span style="color: #444444; font-size: 12px; background-color: #eeeeee;">didn’t want to push my luck too much so just gave her a hug this time</span>

Just pulling your leg Wiggles. Well done!

I'm matching them ok, but getting them out on a date is proving tricky... what's your secret?

I'm far from successful 😂

Probably one date in every 10 girls I talk to, I think the key is just ask them out after a day or two don't leave it too long so they know you are interested in more than messages.

Oh god oh god PANIC!

Since my date we've been flirting back and forth via text and she mentioned she is on the way back from her friends house (which means going past my house...) So I semi jokingly said she she stop by

And she said yes so she is on the way here 😲

Happy days wiggles lad!

I knew it, you stud! 😀

Close this page on your pc/ mobile just in case. Lol

😮 😮

Close this page on your pc/ mobile just in case. Lol

No!!! we want live streaming

I imagine wiggles is busy changing the sheets and doing the washing up though...

^^ Perv.

Me too.

Never considered Tinder at all, really couldn’t be arsed with having to filter out the less than desirable.
Got together with my g/f through Fb, after her photo popped up on ‘Someone you may know’.
As it happens, I did, but I last saw her 21 years ago, eight months pregnant with her first daughter, (not mine, she was a friend I knew through drinking at her parents pub), and had lost contact.
She’s now living with me, something I never thought would happen at 63 years of age!
She’s 52, with two daughters, neither of which live with us.
Nearly four months on, and haven’t bothered with Fb since, a win/win, it seems.

 <span style="color: #444444; font-size: 12.8px;">I imagine wiggles is busy changing the sheets and doing the washing up though…

Did I accidentally set up the live stream without realising? This is shockingly accurate 😂

Now off to change the sheets again 😉

at 63 years of age!

She’s 52

Cradle-snatcher.

Yeah, yeah, Mr "play it cool. Take my time".... 😉

Then BAM! Off like a ballistic missile vectoring in on target. Lol 😀

Seriously though, you can't EVER tell her you are a member on here if this leads somewhere. 😉

I forecast a LOAD of new tinder accounts being opened on STW tomorrow. Ha ha ! 😀

Well done wiggles, You could have proved that tinder was more than just a hook up site, and you’ve completely ruined it with your horizontal bedroom olympics.

I hope you’re satisfied with yourself

Hey, that's bang of out order.

The fact it got physical on the first date is hardly unusual.

It's also not a reflection on what wiggles and the lady he met want out of their potential relationship.

Chill out ffs.

I think you may have missed a considerable amount of tongue (amongst other things) in cheek.
