    You said you were a bloke.

    Marvellous.

    Apologies for my wholly un pc (yet correct) assumption the op was a straight, non gay person.

    For that there's Grindr. Or will you now accuse me of ghettoising gay people?

    The fcuking massively overwhelming odds were it was not a gay man/woman.

    I'm glad it's still going, it literally exploded when I was last on it. I was just so popular. :rolleyes:

    Yeah I don't get that either. Someone likes my pic but hasn't been active in a week!! But that happened and he then sent me a message so might be just latency in the system

    That's a bot brah. The last active thing doesn't really mean anything. If you live in a city, Tinder is great. Not so great for folks out in the sticks

    I've been trying it for the last couple of days and have found it to be completely useless.
    I only got 1 match and that was a spambot.
    I think I should delete it soon because it's just no good.
    Any form of online dating I've tried has been useless.
    The only way for me unfortunately is to just pluck up the courage to chat to girls in real life.
    Online dating is just full of scammers and shallow boring people so it's impossible to find anyone decent.
    At least if you get rejected in real life you know instantly and you can just walk on, head held high, knowing you gave it a shot and it's their loss.
    I'm probably going to find myself doing a lot of that.:(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,428 ✭✭✭Talib Fiasco


    I love the chase too much so I'd be against it tbh but I have used it before a night out...set range to only a km or two and look for quick matches and then message them asking them where are they. Besides that I think it's a bit of a time waster...I quit texting girls a long time ago with the hope of trying to get in their pants...so much more fun and easier in person.

    Erm have you decent photos of yourself on it? Disagree with your opinion about it being full of shallow people, Tinder is a pretty cool way of meeting girls and there are loads of decent girls on it.

    Rubbish. Don't call it all BS cause you tried for 5 minutes and did not get streams of women falling at your feet. That's not how it works. Thousands find it great, maybe you're not doing it right.

    i met my bf on tinder, yeeeeow! ok so we had met previously but that was yeeeears ago! still dont wanna stab him, must be the real sh!t yo!


  • Registered Users Posts: 62 ✭✭pale blue dot cotton


    My mate is on it. He has the age set from 18-99 and an unlimited distance. He has never swiped left. Says he got some bird a few weeks ago that was so big, he had to lift her belly up to ride her.

    True story. That is not something you brag about.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,558 ✭✭✭quinnd6


    ohh lord no, haha.
    How many months do you have to wait before you get a match on it then?

    I saw someone post on a site that he was on it for 2 months with 0 matches.
    I don't think I could take the boredom of that.


  • Registered Users Posts: 62 ✭✭pale blue dot cotton


    I don't believe that. 2 months on tinder and no matches? Every dog has its day.

    His account must have been broken, you should be hoping to be getting matches nearly everyday.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 519 ✭✭✭thecatspjs


    Ya know something? I get plenty of matches but I'd say only 3 or 4 people actually chat with me on it after I say hello. What do you folks be saying to get things going?

    are you only saying hello? i suppose something funny that provokes a reply is best


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,834 ✭✭✭✭Strumms


    Out of every 10 like matches or whatever you call them I'd say about 5 or 6 will chat. I think a lot of people are on it just for the ego buzz of getting likes.... I've clicked a couple of times from it and am seeing a very nice girl at the minute whom I met off there....

    I had a go at it as a bit of an . . er . .social experiment. There's girls on it with profile pictures in their wedding dresses and whatnot, half my village is on it with fake profiles too. I've clearly become too old for this type of carryon.

    Yeah, don't go with normal opening lines. Try to be original and funny. Any remotley good looking girl will be swamped by guys messaging her so you have to standout. Plus it's a good way to have a bit of craic with them and avoid interview type scenarios, where you just end up talking about work and ****.

    It's good fun. I only started using it on Saturday. Once you don't take it too seriously and have a bit of a laugh with the people on it. Like LOADS of profiles, you don't have to talk to anyone, even if they like yours back.

    Seems like the best way to look at it. Should be an intersting few days. :D
