The solution is: don't go on Tinder. If it tried to be even remotely good at its ostensible job, it would put itself out of business. It's all "Match Group" or some shit, they own a lot of the "brands" on the dating market.
The thing is, that tinder doesn't really show your profile to other people. A friend of mine recently had this. He was getting zero matches, but after someone gifted him tinder platinum he got quite a lot of matches.
Plot twist: Anon is the fattest man you've ever seen in your whole life. He just swiped away the only woman on Tinder who would ever swipe right on him.
I'm 6'2" 165lbs with an 80k/year job and this story could've very well been about me
So I guess what I'm trying to say is, he's either the fattest man you've ever seen, or has ADHD and is socially awkward, which are both also apparently just as unnattractive to women
It's okay though I met my gf IRL and she's just as scatter brained and awkward as me.
Tinder used to be good 'til around 2016. After that it's been downhill hard. Last couple times I've tried it, I noticed that it literally avoids showing you profiles that have liked you. In my case, I had "45" likes, yet after 300 swipes to the left, that number didn't go down.
No wonder people just make the profile, leave their instagram handle on a photo or their bio and abandon tinder altogether.
I've had more success with bumble, though it's been 2 months that that piece of shit refuses to recognize my location, which makes everything refuse to work. Permissions are all ok, gps is working, but the app can't get my position. Customer support is an unhelpful bot that points to the FAQ.
I've heard good things from other people about Bumble, and I literally met my last girlfriend (of 3 years, we broke up recently, my heart may never recover) on it.
Cancelling a Bumble subscription is also no easy feat.
More like, he was already swiping right on anyone he was interested in but Tinder thought that it could sell him on a premium upgrade because he missed a match with someone he didn't want to match with and already swiped left specifically to avoid matching with.
It's all about mutual attraction. If the other person isn't interested, there's no point in matching. If you aren't interested, there's still no point in matching.
I met my wife on Tinder about that long ago. Maybe a little longer. We're getting a very amicable divorce since we both grew apart, but yea, it worked.
middle aged friend i got pays for tinder and gets daily report on potentials to fuck.
i felt sad for him. met some of the girls. feel sad for them now.
so i think oldish and ugly ppl use tinder.
This seems to be extremely region and country dependent! 😅 Where I live (Germany, large city), tinder is very popular and not among "old, ugly" people for sure.
