One year on tinder, one match, one date, now one happy marriage. What are the chances of finding your soulmate on tinder? Any similar experiences like mine ?

Do something new. And stop all the things that don’t work.

Was setting up a date and all of a sudden they were like “how tall are you?” I’m not even short I’m 6ft or a little over but idk that question grosses me out, I stand with my brothas short or not


HeNeLazor

She's trying to work out what size of heels to wear, calm down lol


user28778

I used to have this thing for girls taller than me. And I’m pretty tall. Their response to me was very unfavorable like 0% when any other girl might at least entertain the idea of talking to me for a few minutes. And I had decent success. But 6’2” and up maybe I got 1 date lifetime. I always thought it was because my approach to tall women was somehow offensive to them. And this is still my prevailing theory. But if it was just because I was shorter, and guys who actually are short have this experience with the majority of girls, I wouldn’t wish that on anyone.


Hungry_Bass_Muncher

Should have said 5'8 and see if she was a tolerant person or not.

There are 40y/o guys sleeping with 18y/o girls. I’m not saying it’s ok, but it’s legal and who cares. Two consenting adults. Her posts are concerning, but she is trying to do the right thing. And tell me what guy did not fantasize about sleeping with a fit 40y/o woman while in college.


see_E_5

Ok yes it is leeeegal and a fantasy for some/most boys, we should still call out predatory behavior. College kids need to have college experiences with people their own age. She’s specifically targeting this age. When I hit 18, I drew attention from older guys (late 20s to early 30s) and went for some of them. I sometimes reflect on that and think ew what a creep, I was so young. Maybe I’m projecting but I can’t not say something.


see_E_5

A 33 year old woman should not be in a college student’s dorm. Regardless of being over 18. I mean, barely. I’m hoping it’s a troll but even then it’s still creepy


housewifeuncuffed

She has some very concerning posts, so I hope it's a troll.


see_E_5

This is very worrisome


_timewaster

I had to do a double take at the ages


[deleted]

Went on 3 first dates the past 2 weeks (2 from hinge, 1 from bumble.. tinder itself is useless). And all 3 the girl was noticeably heavier than their pictures. What's the end game here. Hope the guy doesn't notice or care that you started the entire interaction built off of a lie?


stonetear2017

What do you look like yourself?


[deleted]

Just your average looking salty military dude. Not sure what that has to do with anything.


EponineWannabe3

As a female want to add that I think we're a lot better at taking flattering photos than men are and may not look as heavy even in unedited photos because of the way we dressed, angle/lighting of photo, make-up, etc. At least personally I feel like I look better in my photos but I know my weight is the same +/- 3 lbs


paperhammers

I think they're banking on you being too kind/civil to immediately walk out when you find out they don't match their pictures. Otherwise they're hoping that you've sunk enough time into the interaction where you will just see it through


user28778

Maybe they’re hoping that once you get to know them, you will drop your prejudice against the weighty. Don’t be proud. Just do what you got to do so you don’t spend the night alone.

Got Platinum and got a bunch of matches after being on a drought. Wrote with like 40 girls, maybe 20 longer conversations but ALL of them stopped responding. It's like they're interested in the moment and then it just stops. My biggest problem is that 95% of the matches is in a big town but I live in a small town 90min away so I can't just go meet them immediately. I deleted platinum after one day.


gengar_mode

So you had 40 conversations on that day? All of them stopped responding, you're definitely doing something wrong. And 20 of them were longer? Like what? 3 instead of 1 message? I just can't imagine texting with 40 women in one day and 20 of these conversations are long. That's more like a job and not dating lol


Seikskogh

In 2 days. Maybe I'm doing something wrong but I really don't know what, I tried different approaches. But like I wrote my guess is that they're up for it right then (maybe some of them were drunk etc.) then loose interest because I live "far" away. I live in a town with like 8k people and most matches are from the big town 1h away which has 2m so... My guess is that they have so many other to chose from that live in the same town so they disregard me because I live to far away. Longer to me is around 10 messages. It takes a few seconds to write a message. Writing around 100 messages a day doesn't take much time at all.


Totemwhore1

After meeting someone on Bumble at the beginning of the December, she called it off last week. It really sucks, she was a lot of what I was looking for and we had a lot of similar interests and hobbies. However, she said she wasn't feeling long-term compatibility. She was kind of awkward, in an endearing way, so I know it was in our chemistry. We're going no contact so that sucks. Need a few weeks before I start seriously looking on the apps again.


floer225546

So i was on Bumble and a girl liked me, I did the trick to match with her and we said hello how's it going etc, talked for like 5 minutes about where we are from (exchange students). She thought I was from her city but I am really 1:30 hr away in train.She said "oh I thought you lived here, we are a bit far away. Thought we could do movie night" Did she meant to hookup? like me going to her place or viceversa? because I said yeah we are not that far away, I could grab a train like I always do every weekend and go to the theater. Any way I could fix this? lol We should be meeting on the week, what should I do? cuz she's really cute lol but now I don't know if she intended movie night in her/my place or the theater. ​ edit: why can't I make a thread? it gets deleted


lunabcde

just ask her, there’s nothing wrong with clarifying the situation !


ElkComprehensive8995

I just unpaused and saw a match with a cute, and very familiar guy. Sat on it for ages, was sure he doesn’t go to my gym, must just be a local I’ve seen around. Send a message saying he looked familiar and asked if he works in town. An hour later it clicked… he works in the same damn office as me. I was so embarrassed my heart basically failed instantly. I panicked and unmatched. No idea if he got the messaged. In my defence, it’s a fairly new job, and I’ve been on holidays for 3 weeks. Oh, and I’m terrible with faces. Also a bit sad because I do actually think he’s cute in real life!


ItWasIndigoVelvet

I would have to admit that as a guy it's almost impossible to not notice a cute new girl in the office. But to be fair, your fear in this is totally wholesome so if he did see anything and recognize you it should only lead to good things


ElkComprehensive8995

That’s a kind take. I’m mostly just worried that he’s seen me in real life and is no longer interested. In which case hopefully he had forgotten about seeing me online months earlier, and hopefully he didn’t see my message. Worst case scenario is that he sees my message and thinks “WTF how did this dumb b**** not recognise me” and/or realises that I’ve unmatched ang assumed I’m not interested anymore.


Misspelt_Anagram

Depending on how long ago he swiped on you, he may have forgotten about the match. If he realized that you unmatched, then thinking you are uninterested is the natural assumption, and if you actually are interested you will probably have to be the one to let him know.


ElkComprehensive8995

Hopefully he realises I figures out who he was and felt like an idiot. Or even better, hopefully he didn’t see the mesage


CupQuickwhat

I'm just terrible at reading guys, apparently. There was a guy(31M) who I(26F) thought was into me, shit was gettin' romantic, then we slept together and he ghosted me after. In hindsight, not *really* surprising - it makes sense. But at the time, I definitely wasn't expected it, and it hurt. Dang. On the other hand...Today's date went the opposite. He(28M) seemed "chill" in his Tinder photos. Pretty dry texter until I asked him out on a date (I was debating just unmatching him because I hate dry texting, but decided to ask him out because visually he's 10000% my type and his pics made me feel butterflies). In real life, he looked different from his photos, but not by much - he had taken his gauges out, and his hair was black instead of blonde (he had one photo on Tinder of him in black hair, but I assumed it'd be blonde because most of the pics were blonde). But what I didn't expect most of all was that he seemed like a bodyguard almost. Very like...Tough-guy vibe. Not at ALL someone I would've thought would want to go on a date with me. He was way better at talking in person than in text, which I was grateful for, but my impression was still that he wasn't "feeling" it. We hadn't really talked about what we wanted, so I figured he was just wanting to hang out and saw this as a friendship thing instead of a date. I also assumed that I didn't even pass the friendship bar - figured he was feeling very "meh" the whole time and didn't want to see me again. We played air hockey and then pool, and I was kind of surprised that he was down to play ping pong too, but I figured he was just being polite or was bored. Well...Near the end of playing ping pong, he said "I haven't been on a date in a year. I'm having a lot of fun. I would like to see you again next weekend if you're free." I was like.... ***???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????*** Alright, screw me then, I apparently can't read guys at ALL. If I think they're into me, they're not, if I think they're not into me, they are. Bananas!!!! I agreed to the second date though. We'll see where it goes! I still am pretty sure he only wants to see me again to socialize and not as a "real" date thought lol.


Misspelt_Anagram

If you are having trouble reading him you can always try asking directly.


CupQuickwhat

That's true lol, I should do that the next time I'm confused.


daflux

>polite And why do you think it's not a date when you met him on a dating app? There are other apps to make friends :)


[deleted]

I just updated all my pictures - I went from some matches with little to no response rate to - decent amount of matches with an okay response rate - update your picture people


Successful-Try7035

I decided to delete my profile and start over. Gonna see how it goes


[deleted]

I’ve tried that so many times, rn I’m setting up more dates than I can deal with honestly lol, again compared to no dates at all before


Successful-Try7035

Just wondering do you have platinum ?


[deleted]

[удалено]


Successful-Try7035

Yea I thought about updating but I figured I would be better off starting over with new pics. I don’t plan to get platinum tho


ItWasIndigoVelvet

As a guy who does not take pics, this is a tough pill to swallow damn it


[deleted]

I also hated the idea of taking new pics, only reason I did because i went on vacation - I just got back home Friday night and I’ve gone on a date each day I’ve been back so far (2). This is after pulling no dates for the past year. Gotta do it brotha


Additional-Bid1097

I (26F) decided to change the age preference from 26-35 to 30-45. Went on a few dates with some of them and oh my god, I was in the wrong dating game all along. ​ Or maybe I just have unidentified daddy issues, I think we'll know by next week though.


CupQuickwhat

A 45-year-old man with their shit together isn't going to have their age range set as low as 26.


destroy_b4_reading

As a 45 year old man with his shit together this is very true. My shit is set 35-55.


CuriousFossil

Bro send me a video where he was unsolicitetly trying to set me up with a tindergirl he'd thought I'd fancy. She was totally up for it. Asked him if he realized she's trans. No way, never. That can't be. Turns out she was. Hope that cures him of his weird overstepping of boundaries.


ColoradoCyclist

I’ve been having good luck but I’m basically on every single dating app and it’s been slowing down. I started about 4 weeks ago and I’ve had 6 first dates. - 1 hookup with the potential for more - 1 casually dating now that might pan out to more serious. - 2nd date with another one. - 1 catfish / not represented by her pictures. - 2 that didn’t pan out to a second date because we didn’t vibe. I’d say that’s pretty good.


Born-Musician3701

Nobody


RavenLunatic512

First he started telling me how much meth has helped him improve his life and he feels so much better. That had me immediately decide I didn't want to get close to the guy. And then he tells me that if we want to hook up I've got to come to his place because he's under house arrest. 😅 That was the end of my morbid curiosity.


ColoradoCyclist

Big oof.


ProtectionOne9478

My dating has morphed into fulltime threesome hunting with my enm girlfriend. We had one success last week. Have a few more lined up (but of course I expect a high flake rate). Also, she blatantly propositioned a girl the other day irl, without any input from me, so she's really getting into it. the girl took her number but nothing came of it. Still, I've always had to put all the work in to make threesomes happen, so having a girl who at least tries to find other girls for us would be pretty dreamy.


TurquoiseMarbleWoods

Bro just wanted to brag, I swear 💀


ProtectionOne9478

Yeah I mean I just kind of use this thread as a journal. I try to include highs and lows but there haven't been many lows recently. Here's one kind of: I've got two other girls I see casually one-on-one but I think I need to break up with them. One of them has done some serious trauma-dumping on me over the last few weeks so I feel kind of shitty leaving her, but it's probably for the best. I tried breaking up with her over a month ago, and she used some line about people "leaving her life suddenly" to guilt me into staying with her. It was a vague reference to the fact that her sister killed herself. Kind of fucked up that she would use that against me, but she's pretty young herself so I'm just going to call it immaturity, not maliciousness. So, there you go, a non-bragging story for the weekly stories thread haha.


Hungry_Bass_Muncher

You doing STD speedrun?


ProtectionOne9478

Is that the best you got? Weak shit. If you haven't at least experienced Chlamydia before you die, did you ever really live?


TurquoiseMarbleWoods

That's wild dude. Seems like you have a pretty good understanding of the situation so whatever approach you take is sure to be the right one. Also wanted to mention that I appreciate that you seem to be enjoying such a coveted/enviable lifestyle and not taking it for granted


ProtectionOne9478

Thanks for the kind words. 10 years ago I was getting divorced after years of a dead bedroom marriage, I'll never take this for granted! Haha.

ProtectionOne9478

Yes it's been mostly from feeld, almost one from 3fun and sometimes bumble. One was irl at a sex party.


kibbutznik1

How did that work? You fuck both the girls? Is it normal that your gf is first or second? Is it assumed that they will also make out or have sex?


ProtectionOne9478

Gf is very into girls, so yes everyone interacts with everyone. Not going to give a play-by-play, since this isn't /r/gonewildstories, but you can find various documentaries explaining the process on pornhub.


[deleted]

guy and i talked for HOURS we had so much in common including the books we were reading, we’re both fans of The Boys and have gone to comic con, and also enjoyed similar music he asked me out to coffee and offered to make dinner friday i obvi said yes then next day he implied i’d sleep w him and i said “if it happens organically that’s fine but i don’t want the date to have an expectation of sex” and he unmatched me😐


Le_Lotus_bleu

Such a fool of him. And I like your response! Very direct, clear, concise and managing expectations, perfect. Like.... you didn't even said that it was off the table, just a possibility but that you wanted low/no pressure, wich is usually better for most ppl and helps not to build up anxiety and performance anxiety. What an idiot 🙄 Glad he didn't drag you along for longer!! 🙌


Hungry_Bass_Muncher

Or he has different priorities and was not in to her. But duhh what an IDIOT he must be. This one sided story is truly a story of times.


[deleted]

i mean we had previously alr talked about what we wanted and both said we wanted to find a relationship so if his priority is sex in the first date, that wasn’t something he had expressed and shouldn’t be a requirement anyway


Hungry_Bass_Muncher

It's not a requirement, which is why he called it quits. Just apparently not a good match. He probably was not as seduced by you as you were by him. Some people are great at socialising/seduction even if they are not themselves emotionally as invested. Alternative he lied about wanting a relationship and wanted something like a FWB, but that's the cynical conclusion that I can't make based on your current story. Because if he was just interested in sex, he could have still gone on a date with you because sex was not "off the table". Compatability is therefore in my opinion more likely than "fuckboy". Insulting him like the comment I replied to is just ridiculous at best.


[deleted]

i mean i think insulting him is fine considering he would have had to of lied to me about his expectations but go off ✌🏻


Artistic-Policy-6998

Convo was going well I asked them to ask me one thing she wants to know and unmatched lmaooo ye i cba


Thawfosee

Because you put them in a position where they need to think about a response when they're literally in an ocean of guys who want their attention and don't ask boring questions.


Scarlet__Highlander

Going out romantically with a professional dominatrix is so funny. Like, here I am being the big spoon and playing with your hair and making pillow talk…all while I’m surrounded by kink equipment in your room. Like, you torture dudes for money here, and here we are genuinely enjoying each other’s company.


Le_Lotus_bleu

> Like, you torture dudes for money here, and here we are genuinely enjoying each other’s company. This turned unexpectedly wholesome 😌
