i don't gently caress with tinder much so i opened it up after reading the op, swiped right until it wouldn't let me any more and got 18 matches. don't know how you could be loving it up that bad op :shrug:

e: 19

Well, I'm a bit selective. I don't want to lead on any girls that I absolutely wouldn't be interested in and waste a swipe either. But yeah, I've been maxing out my 100 swipes everyday. If I had just one match, I could accept that I was a loser, but with 0 I feel like something is wrong. Anyway, we'll see how this new account works.

Serious advice try a picture of you cooking something. You don't need friends/hobbies/good camera/expensive outdoor activities to cook something impressive. Bake some cupcakes and decorate the poo poo out of them. Grill a beef brisket. Make a vegan red curry.

I know they are bad. I see what pictures are "good". They require resources that I don't have to produce (friends, outdoor hobbies, high quality camera). My profile pictures are pragmatic, and they are accurate representations. If a girl can't get down with my DIY Punk Rock attitude, we are both better off.

Post your photos and we can Photoshop some friends into them. I got CS6, they won't even be able to tell.

I'm pretty impressed by the OP actually. Dude seems like he wakes up very early; and he doesn't go to bed until every woman in his zip code absolutely knows he's a loser. Then when that is finished he does it all again just to make sure. That's dedication right there. To being a loser.

You should probably stop this because it's going to make actual sex pretty disappointing.

I actually have to give extra props for that post because I'm not sure where the "does it all again" bit came from. That was before I made a new account to run through my zip code again. Savage and prophetic.

the ones I've encountered do an okay job of ripping off "plausibly hot" but not like model hot pics, so if you're deliberately swiping outside your league you may not encounter them.

I remeber a classic internet joke once that went "I sent that bitch a smiley. Bitches love smilies" and while Im not one to go around referring to women as "bitches" I think that everyone regardless of their gender likes smilies.

OP could go this route and send that special someone a smiley

if they ever get one, that is!

Never actually tried any form of online dating before. Made an OkCupid in the past just to lurk and see what was out there, but never got the courage to make a profile. Now, I would happily make one, but in my current location, OkCupid just doesn't have much of an audience. Can't play the numbers game if I don't got numbers to work with. Tinder, however, is hugely popular. I made an account to lurk there, and I saw everyone I saw on OkCupid and 100x more.

So, I'm a slightly above-average looking guy. Sort of niche, more of an ugly JGL than an ugly Brad Pitt. But I thought I wouldn't have much trouble getting a few matches here and there with girls I found attractive. I thought wrong. I made one 5 days ago. Every day I maxed out my "Likes' at least once. You get 100 per 12 hours as a free user. So, that's at least 500 people I had the potential of matching with. I actually have liked or disliked everyone aged 18-27 within 5 miles of my location, there are no more results for those metrics. I was that comprehensive (live 2 miles from a somewhat major city). I swiped "Like" on everyone I found moderately attractive. How many matches did I get? 0. ZILCH. NADA. I'm aware that my profile is not optimal. My pictures are lacking, but there is a full frontal face shot that shows I'm clearly not hideous, and a mirror shot that clearly shows I'm not a fat slob and reiterates that I'm okay in the face. I would definitely swipe yes on a cute girl with pictures that had equal quality. Better than the dumb as dogshit girls who have 4 of their 5 pictures as group shots, and their 5th one is them in full ski gear.

I kind of feel like there has to be some sort of mistake, maybe my profile fell through the cracks and no one is seeing it somehow. Maybe I'm uglier than I think I am. Maybe God is telling me I need to be alone to accomplish great things. But I don't believe in a god. I'm so confused, and it's all thanks to tinder.

since its a hook up app, its based on current location, not where you live. You or her were swiping while out of town. or she is from near you but travelling when you looked at her profile.

i matched with a chick from like norway when we were both in key west.
