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.

Women don't give a poo poo what you look like, they want to see social skills and a sense of adventure.

Make 4 of your pictures group shots and one of you in ski gear.

Also, it's funny how girls love to make their profile pictures like that when guys don't care about social skills or sense of adventure. They just want to make sure she's not a butterface.

Its just as funny that you put up pictures that you want to see, rather than what women want to see.

in my experience girls like a full body front and back double mirror shot with no clothes on, regardless of your body type they will appreciate your forthrightness

gently caress there are so many women with all group shots and no indication of which one they are, and so many who just look entirely the same.

I'm not trying to go pro, I'm just trying to hook up with a girl who is really pretty and out of my league and doesn't realize it. I can't do that with smoke and mirrors. I need expectations lowered from the get-go, because I will definitely turn into a loving pumpkin.
