It took me a day and a half to become completely disillusioned with it. I don't see how anyone that isn't a 20-something with the body of an Olympic athlete just looking for hookups could possibly meet anyone on here. It's so terrible.
I feel like it's designed to sabotage you. When I signed up it asked to upload 2 photos and pick a few interests. Ok, but....shouldn't I be able to type in some kind of bio? I mean, people want to know something about me, right? Oh, you get that option AFTER you save your profile and it goes live. I took the time to crop some photos in a way that centered me and cut out all the background bullshit, and then when I uploaded it Tinder decided it didn't like the dimensions and awkwardly re-cropped it into a shittier photo. So I had to spend half an hour playing with the dimensions and uploading photos to get them to look the way I wanted. Then the drag-and-drop reorder didn't work, so I had to spend another 10 minutes solving the puzzle of how to add and delete photos so they'd be in the order I wanted.
When I saw all the additional options for customizing a profile, I turned off discovery until I filled in everything. My profile was active for maybe 5-10 minutes after I signed up. In that time Tinder told me I got 12 likes! Uh-huh. All I have to do is pay 18.99/week (who in the FUCK are they kidding) and I can match right away!
Every single thing posted in this thread and the one in Hunie Pop is dead on. The women who are already angry, all of the clichés (I'm an easy-going dogmom who likes to laugh, the outdoors, and have fun, and my 5 kids are my whole world), sarcasm, partners in crime, and tacos. WHY TACOS? Women from 25-55 all making that stupid fucking kissy face.
Probably >70% of profiles have no bio whatsoever. Nothing but a gallery of photos and a selection of canned interests. We all like "comedy," but there's a world of difference between Jeff Foxworthy and John Valby. Does "outdoors" mean camping or sitting in your backyard next to a fire pit you bought from Home Depot? I started passing on anyone who didn't at least write SOMETHING in their bio and rifled through so many people one day that Tinder locked me out and told me to subscribe or come back tomorrow. Fuck you!
Lots of bartenders, maybe it's just my area.
Photo galleries that are a timelapse of someone getting older and fatter. "Huh. She looks remarkably youthful for 40. *flip* Ok... *flip* Hm... *flip* Uh... *flip" Oh."
"I'll be honest, just here looking for FWB. NO HOOKUPS" What? Just get laid, christ.
The same Chinese supermodel in obvious fashion photos with names like Olga (nice try, Russia).
in case you couldn't tell all my photos are closeups because i'm fat
psa...i'm a bitch
Tinder challenged her to describe herself in 500 characters or less and she went with, "fat bitch."
Nonbinary/masc leaning human in an afab fleshmech looking for someone to cuddle with before late stage capitalism ends life as we know it
If you thought "fat, buzz cut, blogging glasses," you win.
Full transparency I am looking for help with my many projects around the house. Dinner and drywall. Food and flooring. Eat and electrical. I am capabale of many things, but I would rather have help.
On the one hand, haha, on the other hand I know there's enough sadsacks willing to do free contract work in the vain hope for pussy.
The best profile I've seen so far was some woman with all candid photos and a bio that actually spent all 500 characters matter-of-factly talking about herself in a charming way and named very specific things she liked. In the canned "prompts," the first item on her bucket list was "to live in a van down by the river," and her ideal first date was, "to get drunk and watch I Think You Should Leave with me. May not be a fairy-tale romance, but at least we'd both be relaxed and doing something I like."
I also came across a profile looking for a partner for "corn films," so if online dating doesn't work out you may find me on Pornhub under Honkey Dong. |
