Topic	If you're an average-looking guy is there even a point in joining Tinder now?
SpeedDemon20 10/12/19 12:08:46 PM #33:	dud posted... I have been trying Hinge the past few days, probably the last one before I give up on all of it for a while. Not that I feel like I should have to mass swipe but I'll use only like 10 likes for the day and then I'm out, wut? That doesn't get me anywhere. I'm not sure what value the questions gimmick adds either. If I actually received any likes that would be nice cause the likes are done per picture/question instead of just on your whole profile. Then I'd just take what was well-received and apply those lessons to the other apps. Though I guess if I had stuff that was being well-received I wouldn't need the others anyway You get a free trial of premium a little after you start, for about a month. Though it honestly made no difference for me. If you want to mass swipe, you can get premium. Personally, I think 10 swipes per day is fine. Be deliberate in your swiping. And use the dealbreakers. I really tightened the filter, so much so that 10 swipes per day became too much (and then I had to loosen the dealbreakers a bit). Also, some people say it's best to send out likes just before people go to sleep. Don't know if that actually helps. The "gimmick" prompts actually help a lot. Put some thought into answering yours and avoid cliche responses (I'm overly competitive about everything, Where to find me at a party the food or by the dog, I won't shut up about The Office, etc.). Try to tie the prompts to a story or experience (preferably a funny one) that you can share, if asked. You'll probably never be sent a like, so your best bet is to send a comment with a like (and the prompts help a lot with that if you struggle to find things to say). I think it took 3 months for me to finally get a date (and that didn't turn into anything afterwards). The important part is to be patient and not feel discouraged. It's not Uber; you can't expect a relationship to just be delivered to you. And don't let it be an all-consuming aspect of your life. Treat it more like a hobby or game. Do the 10 likes per day and then keep doing your regular life stuff. If you get a match, cool. If not, whatever. When you do get a match, put in your best effort (but be warned, some people do not know how to converse at all or are just lazy texters). --- http://orig14.deviantart.net/59f8/f/2009/047/4/9/rylai_crestfall_by_eyue.jpg Crystal Maiden... gal could break your heart in a thousand pieces. -Rucks <cite>SpeedDemon20 posted [p:928671237] in If you're ...
