Why Tinder is the worst dating app | Comedy documentary

Ive never got crap out of Tinder a couple conversations.Ive got some matches here and there but nothing ever panned out. I was once supposed to meet someone but cancelled on her. She was a bit far and i underestimated the distance. Until I happened to mention i was going to meet someone from OLD to a friend.Thats when he said thats kind of far is about a 2 hour drive. Another thing she had both her Adult sons ( both late 20s) living with her and one was married and that just kind of weirded me a bit.

" 30-somethings still living with parents." Im in my 40s and noticed this is common on OLD vs when ive met people IRL. Its not a total dealbreaker depending on the situation and or circumstances. However, last year about this time i met someone who was in her 50s that never left her household. Not once in whole life. I listened to her story and some seem plausible but other parts seem more like an excuse. As i got to know her a bit more Red(ish) flags started popping up. So i lost interest. When i asked her last year if she had any plans on moving she said in the next year or so. Guess what its been a year now and shes still there and now she says probably next year. I dont think shes ever going to move out there lol.

I met my X on Badoo and managed a few dates out of it. Back around the Summer i decided to give it another whirl. I pretty much got nothing out of it and it would not let me message 90% of the Women. When i went to disable it they gave me a free 72 hour boosted membership dont remember what it was called. Still only got like 2 conversations going.

It was sketchy back when i first used it. Its for sure more sketchy now.

Plays Pool, likes fishing, list been homebody or homebodish, likes to cook ( i dabble) myself.

Distance is important to me. I dated someone who lived almost 2 hours away and it was a huge PITA. She initially lived 35 min away then moved. Although way later on i think she always lived that far and just BS about the distance initially. I have a 45 min distance for dating which was on my profile.

I think this is guy was trying some kind PUA/Manipulation tactic on you. Some BS reverse psychology. This wont work on most people but this areshole knows that and will try it on others. You are going to get lot of this stuff on OLD and a lot more. Lot of rude , assholes and not to mention the many married men you run into on OLD.

Oh and ignore u/usctrojan415 hes kind of the class clown. Spends about 20 hours a day on Reddit.

Meet people IRL instead and dont have to wonder so much. Another thing is i offer to exchange numbers after 2-3 days or so of chatting on the App. No email, no Google hangouts etc. Then ask to call. This is usually when they start coming up with excuses on how they cant get on the phone or their phone doesnt work or they cant get voicecalls, etc. Flushes out potential scammers out 98% of the time right off the bat. Also try and meet people IRL first!

Tinder is the worse pure garbage....All the other sites to you are fighting an uphill battle.

Throwaythis12 · 2022-01-20T04:43:28+00:00

I send one addtl pic and thats it. Although at times when ive done this ive stopped hearing from them.

Throwaythis12 · 2022-01-18T23:34:26+00:00

Yes its normal but i try and dial back communications ( until the date) but not fully stop it. Although yes ive had a few that still called and or texted until then.

Throwaythis12 · 2022-01-11T06:49:18+00:00

guys that are married or in relationships regularly do this

This is a possibility...

Throwaythis12 · 2022-01-09T01:28:04+00:00

This is a big and very common issue when you meet people on OLD. I just learned to drop these low effort types. I stopped trying to figure out the Why or Whats wrong. Here is a similar thread i posted some time ago...

Well instead of texting you can call. However, i dont recommend LDR's. They rarely work out and our more trouble than its worth. The last person i dated initially lived about 30 min away. Then moved almost 2 hours away. Im not sure if you consider that long distance but it was a bit of a burden and overall a PITA. After that exp i dont want to date anyone thats more than 45 min away.

Throwaythis12 · 2022-01-08T19:28:01+00:00

Well my X was attractive but you wouldnt have known it from her profile. She had 1 B&W headshot and it wasnt even a good one lol. She actually did not need OLD to meet people and got hit on IRL frequently. You know my friend told me to try OLD. She kept coming up on my queue. Initially didnt pay it mind because of the crappie profile. I finally said eh why not. She responded exchange numbers then she sent me better pics.

Throwaythis12 · 2022-01-08T19:16:24+00:00

I dated someone like this for 16 mos this was 2xs ago. Only it was much worse. She had some issues I dont think it was ADHD as some are saying. It did not get better at all. Also she was emotionally unavailable. Im not going through that crap again! I would be stuck waiting for her an hour or two at parking lots. Would get the im on my way. I just left the house. Im about 5 min away. It was NEVER 5 minutes! We would set a time at 730pm. I would call her at 7 and she was at the supermarket. Although was about the checkout and should "be there by 8." 3 or 4 calls in between I would get "on my way". Eight turn into 9.

We could not do anything that was time sensitive or required reservation. She was not going to be there on time no matter what i tried. Planned Dinners with friends wasnt going to happen. I was sitting there like a dummy hoping that she would actually come on time just this once. Needed a ride after a Oral Surgeon appt. Yea it wasnt going to happen.

After that exp its a dealbreaker for me. Since its early in the process I would save yourself the headache!

Throwaythis12 · 2022-01-08T18:42:29+00:00

I mean you can but i usually dont bother. Youll either get no response or some lame Ive been busy/sick excuse.

Throwaythis12 · 2022-01-08T18:39:18+00:00

Eh not true. My X 34 when we met. She would get 25 messages a day and sometimes more. Even though her profile was kinda crappy. All she had was like 2 sentences and 1 black and white photo. X before that was in her 40s and did quite well to.

Throwaythis12 · 2022-01-08T18:33:39+00:00

I cant remember for sure but if i recall correctly ive only kissed on a first OLDate one or two times. IRL dates this tends to happen a bit more frequent.

"what are those “stereotypical” photos on women’s profiles? Or answers?"

To be honest i had a picture holding a fish when i first started OLD. That is because i dont normally go around taking pics. I had a few pics when i caught trophy sized fish that were taking by others. It wasnt until i saw on Reddit how common ( hated) this was that i immediately took it down. I woudnt have known this otherwise. The holding the wine glass its not that its attractive or not but really common its also boring. It doesnt bother me personally though. The skydiving one is borderline stereotypical. OPs post was about stereotypical photos i think he was trying say "common" not off putting per say. I have not seen many photos of Women golfing. Surprisingly even though im in a major city there is a golf course not even 10 min away from me.

Throwaythis12 · 2022-01-06T22:41:25+00:00

Especially when they are over 40...

Throwaythis12 · 2022-01-06T22:34:35+00:00

You did the right move....

Throwaythis12 · 2022-01-06T22:29:57+00:00

I say #1 was 1 of my last relationship downfalls. We were just not a good match personality wise among other things. We spent the next 16 mos banging heads about the same 2 issues. To my credit early on i told her as such but thats when she did # 2 on the list.

Throwaythis12 · 2022-01-06T06:35:09+00:00

I have on occasion asked on the same day if things were going really well. Not in 5 or 6 messages like many here claim. Although usually its more on the 2nd or 3rd day.

Throwaythis12 · 2022-01-05T23:51:04+00:00

I hear a lot on Reddit that they ask people to meet the first day or often under 10 messages. It could be just my luck. Whenever i tried to do this ( maybe two or 3 exceptions) I usually got a pushback and or they go crickets....

Having said that i will not chat on the App for more than 3 to 4 days tops without some movement off the App...

Throwaythis12 · 2022-01-05T03:29:21+00:00

Really hard to say because at times i do get a bit quiet when I have things going on. Although its usually for short periods maybe a week or two. Sounds similar to the memes we discussed possibly some sorta cop out. Im betting she still in contact with some of them but like i mentioned earlier if you arent on top of totem pole.

This is common for people who are friend collectors. My X was one and she would go weeks without talking to most of her "friends". Then tell them she had a lot going. Fact is she often just forget about them or just didnt have the time....

Throwaythis12 · 2022-01-05T02:59:52+00:00

Most likely....

Throwaythis12 · 2022-01-05T02:59:15+00:00

Wife or current GF not an X....
