Opinions on using tinder

I'm a 20 year old guy who's in his second year of uni...I've been told I'm quite good looking...

I have used it before but I don't think it is ideal for a relationship.

tinder is bull5h1t

See this is what I was thinking but surely there must be some decent people on there right?

If you're looking for a relationship then Tinder isn't really ideal mainly because everyone seems to want sex on it. You'd be better off joining a society or something if you're at uni.

Yeah I joined a society but the only person I met there that I liked practically rejected me when I asked her out for a drink so there won't really be much opportunity for me to meet new people for a while

Join another society and volunteer? Take up a new sport?

Not many of the societies interest me and I think it's probably a bit late to join now anyway and I do a sport so I don't really have the time for another

Well how badly do you want a gf? Sometimes you can end up finding someone when you least expect it.

I want one quite badly. I'm just sick of being alone all the time

I'd say just keep yourself busy. You're bound to find a gf sooner or later.:*

Tinder is a definitely a good source of single people in your area. You are unlikely to have the problem of being declined for dates, because the girl is on a dating app and will be expecting a date. It's good at increasing confidence as communicating initially over message is less daunting than talking in person. In regards to being worried about people you know seeing you on it; only other tinder users will be able to see your profile. Likewise only people who like you back can see that you have liked them. Messages are also not marked as read, so there is no pressure to respond. But the downside of tinder is the number of people using it for hookups. So it is very much a process of elimination and filtering through people. My second question was always "what brings you to tinder?". So I could establish if we are looking for the same things early on. But I'd recommend that you make a profile and give a try! I've learnt a lot from tinder, got to know a lot of great people and found a pretty perfect guy!

Care to outline the male experience of online dating then? I'm sure after, I will be wishing I could embed a laughing gif.

the majority of males who use online dating get very few women replying to their messages and go on very few dates due to women flaking/changing their mind, this is mainly due to supply and demand [too much thirsty men mass messaging anything with a vagina, and too few women on dating sites compared to men], most men end up dating down somewhat in terms of looks.

this is the experience for most males.

If a woman is 4 and she's got male 8's and 9's frequently messaging her, offering to wine and dine her, treat her like a princess ..etc etc. why is she going to go on a date with a male 4, or even a 5?




80% of males do not have such a good experience with online dating.
however for the top 20% of males [looks wise] it is a completely different story. Faced with so much thirsty males inboxing women ..the women get awfully picky and gravitate towards the BEST looking men. The 80/20 rule actually comes into effect where 80% of women gravitate towards the top 20% of the men ... leading to a small percentage of men getting laid between 2 - 5 times a month with EASE ...whilst the majority of the male population are LUCKY if they get laid once in a whole year

bearing in mind the OP is 20 years old and struggling to get a date the evidence suggests that aesthetically speaking he is probably not in the top 20% of males. Therefore online he will struggle
A female online will get attention and multiple multiple offers no matter what she looks like. A male will not.
