Success from tinder?

Just go outside. I promise it's better in the real world.

I usually ask them a question such as 'what does your ideal weekend away consist of doing?' I'm also picky with the profiles I swipe on e.g. I always read their bio and if it's blank, I swipe left. I met my current partner on tinder so it's not all doom and gloom on there. Had it since February (:

My one experience of Tinder was two years ago, I made an account and within the space of one weekend I ended up talking to more than 40 people, most of whom were really boring, but I was too nice to just ignore them haha.
I then met my partner - not through Tinder, ironically - but I still talk to a couple of the guys I met on there as we clicked as friends .

I don't understand, like approach random people in the street or on the bus? I'm fairly certain I've never seen someone just come up to anyone in public asking for a date or a number.



I am quite picky too, like I definitely don't swipe right on every profile, maybe 65%. Its only when I heard one of my friends at work found someone via tinder that I decided to download it

Oh wow 40 people in one weekend? And how do you really know someone is boring via tinder, what is your current partner like that they're not boring vs the people on tinder?

I mean join a club or something you like. Often there are people there you'd get along with. Even if you don't get to bang, you'll make new friends and some of them may have cute sisters/brothers who are single. Act in the world with purpose, for yourself, and whims that occupy you, not deference to the whims of shrill sirens calling you to the shores of rejection to feed the Sisyphean gluttony of their egoism.

I'd have to go out of my way really, the area I am in isn't really filled with people my age but I am there on placement. I also spend a lot of time at work for placement and down the pub, doing stuff I like quite often but the people there aren't really my age. Like other than 1 other placement student, the next youngest person in my office is 15 years older than me.

Then go out of your way. I don't care, be single and lonely. What kind of handout are you asking for? Surely you'd be willingly making a little effort for something you want, right?

I mean I am not lonely, I am doing stuff almost everyday with people and I love my work. I don't just want to meet anyone, like on tinder I tend to swipe for people with similar interests in their bio or there are usually some indicators. I mean I'd have to go like out of my borough, I just feel like if I was going to get a train out of the area I'd at least have an event planned for rather than trying my luck for nothing.

What a stupid thing to say. I honestly can't believe anyone - even someone so buffeted by the buoyancy of inebriation - could have completely misunderstood what I said so completely. Please go back and try again, for your own sake.

That's not what I meant and you know it.

In what way did I misunderstand you? You suggested I just go out of my way to meet people when I am saying if I am going to travel to meet someone I’d prefer for it to be preplanned than me going to join a club

Tinder is just a huge waste of time.

So many girls on it just want to match with guys for either a ONS or just for the attention.

Had much better luck on real dating websites, ones with hefty monthly pay tags!

I literally just paid for a subscription to match.com. Then the day after I was like nah I’m not using this.

Working on the face to face side of things now.
