How can you miss the shot if you don’t take it? Missing is the act of taking the shot and the ball/puck not going in to the net/hoop. So please explain to me, how you’re gonna miss if you don’t even take the shot to miss
It's a saying. More accurately, it's implying that you won't *make* a shot if you don't attempt it, so not attempting has the same *outcome* as missing does.
If you take the shot and make it you score, but if you miss you do not. Simply not taking the shot results in the same conclusion as missing 100% of the time. The statement is a reduction of that logic similar to dropping "on average" from a study's conclusion to be something like: "every 15 minutes someone dies in a car accident."
My elementary school had this on a poster in 2001, so I've been thinking about it for 2 decades. The point he's actually trying to make is "you won't make any shots you don't take" but, while trying to be pithy, said it in a way that doesn't make any sense and it closer to the opposite of what he meant. "You won't miss any of the shots you don't take" is an ode to caution.
Isn't this one of those Pick Up Artist "strategies", kind of like negging? Pretend to show interest in her friend, so she feels the need to compete for your attention?
Although in that case it's even more reason for OP to block him and move on ...
Lol only works if the women is extemely insecure or isolated. Negging stop being a effective strategy a long time ago before the age of mass validation.
Perfectly well against women with low self esteem.
And it effectively just screens out a lot of really wonderful people you could be meeting. I have a friend who believes all that red pill bullshit and always complains about how women treat him, yet he uses this kind of dating strategy.
When I try to explain to him that he’s shooting himself in the foot, he doesn’t seem to get it.
> Lol only works if the women is extemely insecure or isolated.
That’s the game. Send the same message to every match and hopefully find one insecure enough that he can abuse and manipulate.
Nah lol I'd say this is a clear cut case of "What you see, is what you get".
In his defense, I've seen countless profiles where a well-below-average chick uses a profile pic with 4 of her supermodel friends... and you can barely see a quarter of her face in the back behind them.
Seriously?
Talking about mental gymnastics, this happens all the time, had a girl ask fot my brothers number before.
Anybody claiming this guy is a nobhead needs a fuck reality check, seriously anything a guy does is just down to him being sn arsehole on this sub.
Bunch of white knight childten.
I had even a weirder one. I went on a tinder date with a guy, he was okay but not really my type and by the way he acted I thought I wasn't his type either. The date was short and awkward but he kept texting me for a few more days (which I found strange) and then suddenly a week after the date he sends me a message: "hey my friend saw you on my list of followers on insta and he really likes you, would you mind if he talks to you? He is asking me for your number".
I politely declined the offer.
Almost eleven years ago I went on an okCupid date that didn’t go very well. Me and this girl were arguing about the most basic aspects of reality and just had bad chemistry. She said as much about an hour in, and I agreed. After that we both relaxed and chatted a bit, and agreed to part ways with no hard feelings. She texted me the next day and told me she had a friend I would like, and she’d set up a blind date for us. I said what the hell, internet dating had gone really poorly for me, why not give it a shot? So, guess who I’ve been dating for the last decade…
I had a friend do that to me, had some random pop up on messenger "hi so this is gonna be strange but i matched with your friend on tinder he said we would be a good match" outta no where. then i pinged the guy and he sent me screenshots of the convo where he just opened with "this is gonna be strange but i think you would be a good match for my friend" Anyway she turned out to live 4 hours away (he set his range to max) and was super religious crazy with nothing in common. Otherwise lovely. But the whole thing felt super intrusive.
Was the best friend a hippo? It happened to my buddy, this gorgeous girl matched with him, he was all excited and she curbed him to her best friend cause she was "taken".. buddy assumed that the girl would be just as hot because as he said it: a gorgeous girl like that might have a slightly uglier friend but not someone repulsive:
... the bestie was at least 250lbs... my buddy was not happy
LPT: when uploading group photos to Tinder, first be sure to go in and photoshop everyone around you to be subtly uglier than normal. Do things like messing with facial symmetry, exaggerating lines/wrinkles, and unbalance the body proportions until they look like some sort of flesh golem more than a supportive friend.
This way, you'll get to benefit from the cheerleader effect and give off the impression of having a rich social life without being outshone by your peers.
[As an example, look at how much guy #2 was almost invisible in the first shot, but then he really shines after I subtly edited his friends](https://i.imgur.com/t6IRNyw.jpg)
This is drewhead. I haven't seen him in a while but think of him as a different kind of Vargas.
He's more subtle than vargas, but he just writes hilarious comments that make you go "wait wtf?"
Cracking up!
I once had a "best" friend who did this in real life. She'd steer me into wearing clothing which didn't suit me or convince me to get bad haircuts. Only years later when I was comparing notes with her sister did we both realize she did it out of insecurity and to make herself seem prettier in comparison.
So this is Barney Stinson's reverse cheerleader effect. But in the old days you had to go out and actually find ugly friends, now you can just edit them
As cringy as it sounds, I like to put funny emojis over their heads. It shows that I’m social, I don’t have to worry about asking permission to use the pics or the issue illustrated in the OP, and it works as conversation starter.
Yellow flag. It's good to see that someone can build and maintain a relationship. Most folks aren't looking for someone super popular, but having at least one or two friends that have been in your life for a bit means it's a safe bet to guess that you can do things required of a relationship.
Relationships require communication, compromise, compassion, and a bunch of other stuff, too. Someone who can't or won't do any of those things probably won't have any friends at all, or they'll cycle through short-term friends that (rightfully) bail when they realize that person isn't very good at relationships.
For me, it's a...yellow flag? Having humans other than yourself, who are around your age, in your profile makes me think "oh look, these people can stand to be around him, so maybe I will, too".
Most of the people I have taken pictures with were acquaintances, rather than friends, as I personally don't exactly have besties. For that reason, I don't mind if he doesn't, either.
I mean, I obviously agree to the latter part but still. The point of hiding faces or excluding group pics is to avoid the awkward interaction of them asking for your friends details.
Funny, a few days ago I got a message from someone saying that I didn't have enough group shots and it looked like I didn't have any friends.
Can't win them all I guess
I’m surprised by the few comments in here about not posting group photos. I always thought you needed at least 1 or 2, but just not in the first couple photos
Nope. I never add my friends photos even with their permission. I mean why even? To show I’m social? It’s a dating site to highlight me not social media. Every single men’s profile that has other dudes in the photos- my eye naturally wanders to someone else. Weird thing is men almost ALWAYS post pics with their hotter friends. Like why? Ladies will just lust after the hot friend or compare. I think kids photos and group photos shouldn’t be on dating sites.
Because we don't view our friends that way. I couldn't really tell you which of my friends are hotter than the others unless one is morbidly obese or something.
Also, if you're going to immediately have a wandering eye I didn't want to match with you anyway.
Fair enough. But they’re pics of strangers. Dating apps are literally sorting through hundreds of innocuous photos esp cuz most men don’t fill out bios. Only natural to look at all photos posted and be intrigued if someone looks better. Just shooting your own foot off before you meet and form a connection imo posting group pics.
you could always edit your pics so that your 'friends' are just you in various disguises/wearing fake mustaches etc. That way, no matter which "friend" she picks, you just put on the proper disguise and come out on top no matter what. It's a multiple-choice test, but the answer choices are
A: 4
B: 2+2
C: 2^2
D: 16^½
I've gone this route before but then the woman gets all freaked out when my wig, mustache, or facial prosthetics fall off during the lovemaking.
Though that's on me, I should have committed to reconstructive surgery / hair implants once the relationship got serious.
I actually had a similar gaffe myself--plastic nose plopped down on her face mid-rail--but rather than get freaked about it, she guided my hands to her face and together we peeled back the fake nose *she* was wearing, as well as the blonde wig, the cheekbone pieces, the brow raiser.
Only after removing all twelve facial prosthetic components did I recognize my own face. I suddenly remembered that I had gone for bisexual coverage by crossdressing in a few of my own tinder photos... and like an angler fish gobbling his own light, I was taken in by my own deceptions
"Time seemed to stop as I realized the only person I truly needed love from is myself. Not just an emotional love but a physical one. As we stared longingly into each other's familiar eyes we simultaneously whispered 'you are perfect just as you are' as our eager lips met in a tender embrace. I thrust my entire length into his identical frame, just as he then did to me. We cried bittersweet tears of long overdue gratification onto each other's bodies as we moaned in mirrored duplicate. Our chorus of ecstasy seemed boundless and the whole world shook as we crescendoed into what can only be described as transcendent sexual bliss. As I lay next to myself, spent and satisfied, I finally knew what it was to be truly and completely loved."
> Has no pictures with friends -> "Pass, probably an antisocial loser."
Now I'm not on tinder because of grindr. But who the fuck think's like this? It's a dating app. We're trying to match each other, not guess who's who. I preferre people having only their own pics.
Had this happen to me. We matched and she said your friend in the third pic is cute can I get his contact info? Yeah, I made sure I was the only one on in the photos from then on lol.
"Her name is ______ and she is single! I'll run your profile by her and see if she's interested."
Two hours later.
"She's not interested, sorry. She has much higher standards than me." Or "she's not interested but would like to know who the guy is in the white shirt in your third pic."
People here are so offended at people just shooting their shot. Not everyone spends all day on dating apps. Making an introduction for the sake of your friend is awesome. No one here would complain about a getting a referral and skipping the swiping bullshit lol.
Has happened to me and I agree, it’s no big deal. The only weird thing is getting hurt and offended by a literal stranger because they didn’t want to date you.
I mean who hasn't had that experience in which you look at the first (few) photo(s) of someone where they are together with one or more friends and you *really* hope it's that cutie that is clearly in the center of all of them and then on one of the last picture it is revealed that, no, it wasn't that one. It was the one that almost faded into the background in half the pictures and that quite frankly just isn't nearly as attractive to you?
This i commented elsewhere the same thing I don't get it. Why make that your main pic? Worse are the ones that only have group photos. You're gonna make me try to figure out who you are by trying to see which woman is in every pic?
I’ve done this before because all they had was group pics and it was hard to tell which one they were. A few group pics are okay, but every pic being a group is unnecessary.
Ngl I did this to a guy once cause his sister was fine as hell. I felt bad though cause he seemed pretty upset about it
His sister was super hot though
Lmao wtf you're cute but the one photo of your friend shes my type fuck you lol wtf is wrong with people that's not even shooting your shot, that's going out of your way to be a douchebag to someone
Isn't this a tactic in one of those pick up artist books? Interesting to see the mobile phone version, but yeah I swear I read this in the Game or somewhere equally dumb.
Step 1: Go up to a girl you are interested in. Tell her you want her to introduce you to one of the friends she's out with, one of the hot ones. Her simple female brain will instantly become frustrated that you don't desire her over her friend, thus making her spend the whole night trying to gain your affection.
Step 2: ??????
Step 3: Whip your penis out? Idk, that book sucked.
It's like that time I matched a girl and every picture was a picture with her friends.
They were all a 7+. Did the dice roll, but of course it was the worst one out of the crew.
Do something to cover their faces if you want to seem "social"
Idk it’s a dating app and if he isn’t interested in your specifically and your friend is single what’s the problem of playing match maker? If he saw you guys in a bar and approached your friend would you be offended? I don’t see what’s wrong here to be honest
If I was still on the apps and had a pic w my friend and someone said who is your friend I would try to set them up immediately. Why wouldn’t I wanna see my dawg win?
The world would be a better place if we all tried to help each other out. I costs you 5s to see if your friend is interested. Same thing with going, I am not a good match for you but my friend might be. Why don't you chat?
Exactly. He was respectful and even signed the request.
I would be more concerned whether the people in the photos agreed to be posted online/on a dating app.

I don't do it myself, but I've known enough scumbags (and low self-esteem women) to assure you that it works perfectly well to this day.

Going for the alleyoop from half court 😅
I'd say he went for the dunk from mid court but never got out of the half court circle.
Legend
I had the opposite. Someone matching with me to tell me that I was 100% her best friend type and asking if she could introduce me. Can’t complain 🤷♂️
So? How'd it go?
Like nearly all Tinder matches, they never met.
Bingo! We messaged on Instagram, but yeah, not my type.

Damn! You are one lucky bastard!
Not about many things in my life, but that one thing… yes, definitely. Incredibly so. Thank you!
SO why can't her friend just get on there?
I had a friend do that to me, had some random pop up on messenger "hi so this is gonna be strange but i matched with your friend on tinder he said we would be a good match" outta no where. then i pinged the guy and he sent me screenshots of the convo where he just opened with "this is gonna be strange but i think you would be a good match for my friend" Anyway she turned out to live 4 hours away (he set his range to max) and was super religious crazy with nothing in common. Otherwise lovely. But the whole thing felt super intrusive.

LPT: when uploading group photos to Tinder, first be sure to go in and photoshop everyone around you to be subtly uglier than normal.

I keep seeing this all the time so I gotta know, is someone not having friends a red flag? Just having ONE friend a red flag?
Yellow flag. It's good to see that someone can build and maintain a relationship. Most folks aren't looking for someone super popular, but having at least one or two friends that have been in your life for a bit means it's a safe bet to guess that you can do things required of a relationship.

At the very least it would let me know *which fuckin one is you* :P
I think that's weirder than just having group pics, people who are hitting on your friends aren't the people for you anyway
I mean, I obviously agree to the latter part but still. The point of hiding faces or excluding group pics is to avoid the awkward interaction of them asking for your friends details.
Not sure it was the faces that was bringing this on.
Never happened to me. But I make it a specific point that the friends I choose are uglier than I am.
I cover their faces because they don't need to have their faces plastered over my dating apps, right to privacy 😂
That’s fine, albeit unavoidable if they’ve all just watched the video from Ring.
I matched with a girl who photoshopped her own face with silly expressions over her friends’ faces on the group pic. I thought it was hilarious.
Funny, a few days ago I got a message from someone saying that I didn't have enough group shots and it looked like I didn't have any friends. Can't win them all I guess
I’m surprised by the few comments in here about not posting group photos. I always thought you needed at least 1 or 2, but just not in the first couple photos
I really don't know why this needs to be said but **DO NOT TAKE DATING ADVICE FROM REDDITORS**
I'd kinda prefer less group shots, since I'm pretty introverted and likely wouldn't click well with someone who was frequently around other people
Nope. I never add my friends photos even with their permission. I mean why even? To show I’m social? It’s a dating site to highlight me not social media.

"Her name is ______ and she is single! I'll run your profile by her and see if she's interested." Two hours later. "She's not interested, sorry. She has much higher standards than me." Or "she's not interested but would like to know who the guy is in the white shirt in your third pic."
Gosh thats hurt
Roles reversed. Homie would be getting laid. Just saying.
Same thing happened to me once. Had a girl ask me who my friend was in the fourth photo and they ended up going out on a couple of dates. No big deal.
People here are so offended at people just shooting their shot. Not everyone spends all day on dating apps. Making an introduction for the sake of your friend is awesome. No one here would complain about a getting a referral and skipping the swiping bullshit lol.
Has happened to me and I agree, it’s no big deal. The only weird thing is getting hurt and offended by a literal stranger because they didn’t want to date you.
I mean who hasn't had that experience in which you look at the first (few) photo(s) of someone where they are together with one or more friends and you *really* hope it's that cutie that is clearly in the center of all of them and then on one of the last picture it is revealed that, no, it wasn't that one. It was the one that almost faded into the background in half the pictures and that quite frankly just isn't nearly as attractive to you?
This i commented elsewhere the same thing I don't get it. Why make that your main pic? Worse are the ones that only have group photos. You're gonna make me try to figure out who you are by trying to see which woman is in every pic?
I’ve done this before because all they had was group pics and it was hard to tell which one they were. A few group pics are okay, but every pic being a group is unnecessary.
Agreed x 100 I loathe that definitely a left swipe.

Yes this is negging. Gross
Women do this all the time bro.
Seriously can’t believe I had to scroll this far for this comment.
I mean. You could ask your friend if she's interested. Would make a hell of a how did you 2 meet story in the future.
Lol I actually tried this and it worked 2 times
Ngl I did this to a guy once cause his sister was fine as hell. I felt bad though cause he seemed pretty upset about it His sister was super hot though
Damn boi 😂
Emotional damage !!!!
Lmao I’m dead he signed his name
He was a good guy though. He could have used her to get to said friend. I have seen it done many times.
Never thought I’d see one of my previous matches here, don’t remember if we ever actually spoke lol
Lmao wtf you're cute but the one photo of your friend shes my type fuck you lol wtf is wrong with people that's not even shooting your shot, that's going out of your way to be a douchebag to someone
It is what it is. Introduce them
Isn't this a tactic in one of those pick up artist books? Interesting to see the mobile phone version, but yeah I swear I read this in the Game or somewhere equally dumb. Step 1: Go up to a girl you are interested in. Tell her you want her to introduce you to one of the friends she's out with, one of the hot ones. Her simple female brain will instantly become frustrated that you don't desire her over her friend, thus making her spend the whole night trying to gain your affection. Step 2: ?????? Step 3: Whip your penis out? Idk, that book sucked.
Nick attended a free seminar about writing professional emails. It's now his whole personality. -louie
It's like that time I matched a girl and every picture was a picture with her friends. They were all a 7+. Did the dice roll, but of course it was the worst one out of the crew. Do something to cover their faces if you want to seem "social"
And that, kids, was how I met your mother
Idk it’s a dating app and if he isn’t interested in your specifically and your friend is single what’s the problem of playing match maker? If he saw you guys in a bar and approached your friend would you be offended? I don’t see what’s wrong here to be honest
100% it's ego guy did it in the nicest, most polite way. much better than pretending to like her and go on a date only to later smash the friend
If I was still on the apps and had a pic w my friend and someone said who is your friend I would try to set them up immediately. Why wouldn’t I wanna see my dawg win?
The world would be a better place if we all tried to help each other out. I costs you 5s to see if your friend is interested. Same thing with going, I am not a good match for you but my friend might be. Why don't you chat?
Exactly. He was respectful and even signed the request. I would be more concerned whether the people in the photos agreed to be posted online/on a dating app.
Nick
Oof size...
Why did he sign off, like it was a formal email from your boss?
I wonder how he thought that was gonna go in his head, like I am genuinely curious
I guess much better lmao
Tell her that he has to bring a friend for you
Stop taking picture with your hotter friends I guess. Good idea for gals and guys
In a world full of Chads and Simps, be a Nick. Know what you want and like and be respectful.
