Tinder

[Chaqa]

Atomization, probably. There are better dating sites though.

Such as?

I've had decent success with Tinder + Bumble.

Describe your ideal first date:
I pull up in my Camaro. Slick back my hair. We drive up to lovers point. And make out. She compliments my leather jacket and blue jeans

I love the fake-Chaqa persona brain has come up with for me lol.

I assumed most girls who instantly want you to add them on insta or Snapchat just want a higher follower count.

I don’t even use those. Insta is basically Facebook but more pictures right?

Well, Snapchat doesn't really have followers per se. It's mostly for sending pictures and chatting. Instagram maybe, but it's also a good platform for sending memes and stuff and lots of us young people use it as a social media thing.

Facebook is for old people.

Facebook is for old people.. an interesting comment. There was a wonderful world before this internet thingy. I've always thought that the best way to seduce women was & is? in person.

[Carl Tuckerson]

I don't see what's wrong with adding them on Snap or Insta that's way more likely to continue the conversation.

Why would you unnecessarily jump through an extra hoop to talk to somebody who is supposedly already interested in you?

9/10 I won't meet a guy off tinder unless I have his insta or something

Guess we're not going out then

I'll get a phone number because that's easier on me to use, but to me Tinder is meant to be the dating app equivalent of a social media account. I'm actually blown away a bit that people use Tinder primarily to add people on other accounts to then set up dates... what's the point? Switching to text for logistical convenience I get, this other stuff I don't. Y'all kids are crazy.

All this said, I also agree with the Major, by far my most successful route has been good old-fashioned in-person approaches. The irony is that I think it's actually easier than using dating apps at this point, too. It's much easier for people to be selective and picky when they can literally drag their finger across a screen and see dozens of other candidates. You need basic social skills, not to be repulsive, and to have a sense of time and place, so maybe you shmucks shouldn't try it but I find girls at least are much more receptive when they have someone directly in front of them instead of just a picture and some text on a screen.

also been hit with this a decent number of times. I'm sure there's some real reasons for wanting to switch over, but man it only takes once to put me off it forever lol.

[brainbomb]

most ppl on tinder do it for attention and for something tp pull up with friends and laugh at.

or its bots with fake pics of real ppl and theyre just phony accts

[Chaqa]

You guys are using Tinder wrong then.

In-person works too but it's more convenient to be able to Tinder when you don't have time to be social sometimes.

I already say words like "yeet" and "lit" to fit in with my fellow young people. I have to do more???

Facebook being for old people is probably true. 90% of my feed when I check is my mother and her friends.

naw Tinder rules.

Is this app supposed to suck?
Every girl has 2 of the following:
1. #Daddygang in bio (what does that even mean?)
2. Dog picture/ Dog momma, and claiming to only swipe right on dogs
3. Nose piercing (no hate but they all have the exact same thing.)

And they all claim to love hiking which I call bs.

I matched with one and we argued over the proper way to play super smash bros and she got offended and unmatched.
A few more matches just ask me to add them on insta or snapchat (ummm no)
A couple don't message.

What happened to my generation that this is a popular app?

Are you a 6'3" doctor and/or lawyer with a six-digit salary, a full and well-maintained beard and generally masculine facial features, and the ability to take photos of yourself in your gym gear that make you appear to have the physique of a Greek god?
If not, yes, it's supposed to suck.

naw, you just kinda have to not be an asshole.

I'm sure the vast majority of men who struggle to be successful on Tinder are just assholes and none of the many women who use it successfully are

I'm a man who uses it successfully. Men are just kinda shit at doing basic shit like hygiene and dressing decently and treating women like more than sex objects. Very easy to improve on these things

I know plenty of men who understand how not to be a repulsive freak that still struggle to replicate their dating success in other places, like meeting women at bars or through hobbies, on dating apps. "Don't be an asshole" is right up there with "JuSt Be YoUrSeLf" as aggressively useless "advice" for solving that problem

[Kingdroid]

Well, probably because they come across like assholes on dating apps.

Ehh, the Facebook is for old people sentiment is also held here in Singapore and Malaysia!! Why is that the reason tho?

You're awfully presumptuous about people you don't even know. Must be nice to know everything.

[Kingdroid]

I mean, I know they suck at Tinder, which means they're really fucking up somewhere cuz it's not very difficult to find success on it. That's plenty of info.

Are we just going to gloss over:
What do you mean “proper way to play super smash bros”???

[Fluminator]

She told me to come to the university smash club, and I told her I didn't like it last time I went because they only play on final dest and no items.
She called me a filthy casual and unmatched.

[Ezio]

Filthy casual.
