Met a guy on Tinder early March. Everything was awesome at first but I just broke up with him yesterday. I actually feel sad about it, he seemed so great at first and was super attractive but his sense of humor was pretty hurtful. Not sure if I should give Tinder another go or not... I redownloaded it but haven't used it


Was his sense of humor sarcastic, bordering on rude? I have a friend who tends to say things without thinking (i.e."That's effing ret***ed") - while he may not mean the person is "effing ret***ed", it can hurtful in a broad way.

I started using OKC on December 2016, after over a year and about 8 first dates, I found my gf in there. We have been together for over a year and are talking about marriage in a couple years time.

Just keep trying, and don't give up. The right person for you is out there.

It wasn't like that, he would be like "you're such a dumbass" if I messed up in a video game or w/e. He'd be saying it non-seriously but it felt really juvenile. He also made fun of me personally, saying negative things about my personality and appearance as a "joke". I don't think it was malicious but it was really off-putting


Oh wow.. that's a lot less jokey and more "I enjoy talking down", sorry it evolved that way. The silver lining might be that you saw his.. resting state? How people normally interact? And in doing so determined it wasn't a good fit. Nothing wrong with that :)

Matched with a girl a few weeks ago on bumble. We never talked on there but added her on snap and have been talking sporadically since then. I asked if she was on bumble to meet people and she said "idk." So I really have no idea if she's trying to date or just on to waste time.She is pretty young and way hotter than me, but fuck it, I'm gonna ask her to hang out.

It used to be the best one, until they made that stupid update where you can't chat with people until you match. Girls often won't even see messages anymore. Also, I feel like the average attractiveness on OKC has dropped over the last few years. Or maybe that's just because I'm getting older and all the good looking girls are taken now.

Fellas is a big city really easier to get dates on these things? Recently finished college in a small ish sized city and yeah the numbers were smaller, but I found I was getting matches pretty consistently. Now Im back home in New York and Ive like 3 matches in 2 weeks. Yeah theres more people but idk man, I think the people are just too attractive here. As an honestly average ish looking dude, I dont think Im in high demand here.

Big cities should be easier based on volume.

That said to everyone struggling just keep tinkering with your profile if you aint getting matches. I had been doing well in the match dept but changed some of my bio and noticed my matches dropped, nothing for like two weeks. I switched it back and now Im getting matches daily again.

Just keep messing around and when you start matching keep it as is.

Hmmm interesting. I did notice in the last month I hadnt been getting matches but then I changed my profile back as I said and matches are happening again.

I also lowered the age range (I had switched to up to 50+... I switched it back lmao) and I noticed Ive been matching more again. This morning alone I woke up to a couple. I do swipe daily tho

I'm curious, what are the criteria for you guys to swipe right on someone? Do you swipe right on anyone attractive-looking? Or are you looking for any specific traits?

To me, it generally comes down to ticking most (but not necessarily all) of these boxes:

- Are they cute/hot?
- Is there anything in their profile text that stands out to me?
- Is there literally anything I'd be able to talk to them about except for my general go-to lines/subjects? (If not, it's usually due to lack of pictures/profile text)
- Do they have at least one pic with a clear smile?
- Do they have kids?
- Seriously, how hot are they?

Usually I swiped right on everyone, but then I only would actually make an effort with the conversation if they seemed like they were interesting.

Swiping right on everyone makes you lower priority to the algorithm and makes it less likely for the people you swiped right on to actually see you

From what I was reading they updated the algorithm to show cards for people who are closer and online. I only have about 7 matches now so its pretty meh

I am at taking some classes for work the rest of the week.
There are about 60 people there. I think there are only about 4 guys there total.
As far as I could tell there were about 4 cute girls there without rings on their fingers, most all sitting together cause they obviously work together.

Now I don't have the skills or charm to cold approach a group like that, but hopefully I can cross paths with a few of them during an activity or something.

I haven't used gamefaqs since 2011 so I don't know how these tinder threads go, but I bet my bottom dolla that y'all need betta pics.

Improve your style and body fat percentage. And stop relying on overly nerdy obscure references. Learn some game.

To be fair I'm basing this on how I'd expect 2011 CE users would use Tinder based on what I remember about 'em.

I'd been holding out on Tinder for as long as I could but just downloaded it the other day and set up my profile. Got a good number of matches with some p good-looking dudes. There's definitely some overlap with the guys on the other apps but a surprising number of new faces. Still falls into the same trap as the other apps though where people you match with still won't talk to you sometimes. I'm told that Tinder is a little better in terms of guys looking to date compared to the other gay apps though. We'll see.

I literally get no matches on Hinge and Bumble so I stopped using it

Averaging like 30 matches per week on Tinder, 2-4 matches per week on CMB lol what gives? (For anyone curious I live in Los Angeles)

-Currently have a FWB situation going on with a girl from tinder, good stuff
-went on a date today with cute wholesome girl from CMB and it went pretty well so this might go somewhere who knows
-talking to 3 other girls (which includes a hot one Im meeting for drinks tmrrw, and 1 average lookin but nice girl I already met up with twice..however I feel lukewarm about it)

On a side note I heard dating in NYC as a straight man is better than other cities? Apparently higher ratio of single women to men due to fashion & entertainment industries. But idk how accurate this is lol mb someone can confirm

Granted, she suspected I was introverted (she also identifies as introverted) and she was right, but I don't know how you're supposed to tell based on a few messages on a dating app.


tbh I don't get the stigma associated with introvert, doesn't matter ****. I'm introverted based on most personality tests but go out all the time, and was told I'm funny as hell in person. I just prefer to hang out in small groups 1-4 max, anything more kinda tires me out altho I can handle.

Jumping back on this week. Had a relationship from bumble for over a year, that fizzled out. Gave it a few months and tried the apps, I went on a date every other day for like 3 weeks. If I tried I think something could have happened sexually but I personally felt little to no chemistry with any of them. I was busy with life and deleted my apps.

I am now joining tinder, bumble, okcupid, hinge and CMB aha. Any others that work?

When it comes to dating a lot of people always talk about what they are "looking for."
And I personally don't really know what I am looking for, when it comes to the type of connection I am searching for. I'd be down for a one night stand, a FWB, a long term relationship. I'm open to all of those things.

But in the grand scheme of things, I do know what I want, what I really want is just someone who texts me first.

Got a date for weds and one for sunday. The weds one was a chick I matched with back in may, we exchanged like one or two msgs and she dropped off. She popped up on my feed with a new pic and bio about bjs so I sent her a like and told her I wanted to take her out and then never speak to her again so that should be a good quickie if all goes well

The sunday one we matched earlier today and started messaging quick, she's outta town for the 4th but back this weekend.
