Current Events > Redditor shows how useless Tinder is

(+) Yeah! (+)

He is male and this is from when he was 18-21

How do I find this info out about myself? I've been on it for a bit over 2 years and only 1 person, that I know, has 'liked' me

---

Tinder has been useless for years. I'm so glad to be done with dating apps for the foreseeable future

From the comment section

1. Google Tinder Data and click the first option. Request your data from Tinder.

2. In a day or two, you will receive an email from Tinder. Open the email and download the zip file on COMPUTER. It will NOT work on mobile.

3. Open the file and open the Index file. Under the usage tab, it will show you different categories of how many swipes right/left, matches, messages sent and received, as well as many times you opened the app.

4. I took the data from total matches, swipes right and left. I used Google Sheets to isolate the amount since the date is right next to it and added it all up using some Number Adder.

5. Sankey is the website I used for the flow diagram. Its fairly easy to figure out.

Okay if the stats are real it doesn't prove anything
Like whyat does he look like
What does his bio say
How boring/bad is he at holding a conversation

When I used it in always had success. I'm not what everyone complains about. Maybe the bios are bad?

Most bios for men and woman are horrible honestly
Plus again looks dont always matter of course but it would help to know what we are dealing with
I mean you could be a Greek god of a man but if you take pictures with your raised truck and bros with backwards hats and pants around your ass I'm swiping left

This. The most important thing in online dating, like it or not, is looks. Does he look like Hemsworth? Average like Tobey McGuire, or look like Boogey?

---

His picture could be a cardboard box for all we know

---

Sounds like the only common denominator is him

---

I didn't know you could get GTA style stats for Tinder.

That's dope.
---

Yeah this data just shows how useless he is.
---

How do you get pictures of yourself having fun when no one wants to come out and have fun with you? How do you get started? Because back when I was having fun and had friends, we didn't have camera phones

---

Tinder sucks because most girls I met from there ended up being heavier IRL. It's better to meet people IRL.
---

He literally swiped left on almost 3/4 women, and is surprised women don't want to talk to him.
---

Id liked to see a true Chads stats.

Something's definitely not right, back when I tried I probably ended up with close to 100 matches over a couple months and there's no way I swiped on nearly 12,000 women. I was matching like 25% of the time and was slightly picky on who I swiped right on. I live in the middle of nowhere and it'd regularly tell me there were no new profiles to view that I hadn't seen already. Same on okcupid, I'd run out of people.

Still had no success, but his numbers seem way off from what I experienced.

I get drunk some nights and Swipe Right on every single person they put in front of me, and I still get zero matches. I must be super fucking ugly and it makes me feel horrible about myself. Like, really badly ;_;

Yeah dude that's tinder

It's fucking trash

is there a consumer market out there for people looking for help with their online dating game? Because if so I'd like to start a business that focuses on that.

@deupd_u

On Tinder, you have to do that.
The way the Tinder algorithm works is that if you swipe right way too much, the algorithm works against you and you get buried, resulting in less people seeing you. So it's actually a good idea to be a bit more selective on Tinder (actually read profiles, only pick people who you have some level of attraction to, etc).

I can't speak for all men but I'm undateable regardless of how good some dumb online profile looks so I would never pay money for it

I mean its a sausage fest, but heres the thing. Its just like real life, you need to be good looking. If not money and confidence. The issue is most dudes on tinder are not good looking and are taking pictures with shi tzus

This is not an attitude women are attracted to. Women want a man with confidence. The girl I'm talking to now told me that I'm confident and that's what she likes.

the average man is unfuckable

the average woman gets blasted by limitless chad dick

Sounds like people would rather blame something else when the problem lies with themselves.

even if the services had a money back guarantee?

I've been saying for years that Tinder was total crap. Modern online dating is one big garbage heap of gimmicks.

It was a lot better 10 years ago when it wasn't just about swiping.

I'm sure you're not. Plus, despite getting some matches I've never had any form of success either. We're in the same boat.

This is me too. I gave up a couple years ago, but it still hurts.

i have a feeling that his choice of 25% to swipe right on has everything to do with his match rate. he probably chose his favorite 25% (i.e. the 25% that are getting matched with by literally thousands of guys like him because they are interesting/attractive)

I bet if he chose the bottom 25% of women, he'd have much higher match rates.

I'm going to guess by the amount of girls he rejected, he probably only swiped right on hot chicks instead of girls in his actual obtainable range, so it's not surprising to see results like this.

My issue is that I could laid easily if I just lied about myself. I'm good at that. My real life sucks, so I don't want to talk about. Then once I lie here and there and have those types of relationships, then I can start improving my life because I'll feel more confident and the women I'm with at the time will give me things to do so I can have something better to talk about to help build better relationships with everyone else in my life because I'll be doing fun things

But I need to lie to get the ball rolling, and I feel badly about that, so I don't.

And the easy answer is to go and do fun things, but I've done and tried that, but it just made me more depressed since I had no one to talk to about it and no one to go with me. And I hate going out with groups of people because everyone always gets paired up besides me and it makes me jealous and sad

Blah, I need Summer to be over with

This is a sad topic.

Sad, sad, sad...

Anything to not accept that they just are shit at conversation/game or can't make themselves look presentable.

Where do you guys live? Maybe you are in low populated areas. I live near Chicago, and I have relative success with tinder. I had it for about 2.5 months after I broke up with my girlfriend. In those 2.5 months I slept with 6 women off of dating apps alone. I had a combination of tinder/bumble/hinge. I slept with 6, and I ghosted around 10 because I genuinely didnt have time to hook up with them as I always had plans with other girls/and friends. In those same 2.5 months I slept with an additional 4 that I met at bars or through coworkers/friends. To this day Im friends with a couple of the dating app girls on Snapchat and every now and then they send me sarcastic messages with whens that movie night happening.

I think you need to live somewhere more populated. I ended my sleeping around hiatus because I didnt feel good about myself and I got worried that I might catch something so I stopped. Also important to note, out of the 6 I slept with, I ghosted about 10, and I got ghosted back by well over 10. Its just how it is. You dont know everyones state of mind: some girls really want to meet, some girls just straight up know theyll never meet so theyre passing time by and playing you, some girls think theyre ready to meet a stranger but chicken out when it actually comes time, etc. youre gna get turned down more than youll score.

Well, neither of those things there are attainable for me. So you've got that at least.

Tinder and dating apps are not for the average-looking or ugly guy tbh. Better to not even waste your time.

While I've never actually used Tinder, I feel I can say from my preconceptions and secondhand anecdotes that it wouldn't work for me.

There are ugly and below average-looking girls on tinder too? There is something for everyone.

First: if overweight: lose the weight. No games, no gimmick, no bullshit, man up and hit the gym every single day, change your diet, and start fixing your unhealthy life. Second: Put aside $150. Buy nice dressy shoes with suede beige, buy nice modern slim-fit dark royal blue jeans, and a modern slim fit black V-Neck t-shirt. Go to your local bar/outing scene in the area with a friend and be chill. Approach some women, let others approach you. Im 25, my coworker is 37 and recently divorced. Him and I go to a place where every 1st Friday of the month, this bar is packed with single middle aged women. And the amount of 40yr old women that have talked to me is surprising. I even slept with two. But its a weird crowd for me, they have kids and just want sex, Im young and am looking for a wife. But for my coworker its heaven.
