Thanks for sharing Sofomore! Congrats that you are finding success on Tinder. Awesome reports keep that game up, I'd love to hear what happens with these prospects.
As far as Tinder and online dating in general, it's a given that looks are 80% 'Game.' Not to discourage the guys that have had success, but this site is improve mentality. I have recently signed up, but I can already tell the vibe of this forum. It's more of getting success with the fewest shortcuts possible. I'm not discrediting this thread in any way, but if Sofomore is pulling quality tail from online dating, he is going to KILL it doing real approaches. I have done street approaches and online dating in my 25+ years of recognizing game. Being a well in shape in your 40's does wonders and I wasn't as exposed to game in my 20's. I will admit, I am not aesthetically gifted as my peers, but I found a way to get women.
Granted, women consider looks much less important than men. The caveat is that when men are exposed and 'addicted' to online dating, their only genuine game is their appearance. You can craft the wittiest profile, but a woman's LCD display is still what she is looking at. Women are intricate and I've found in the past several months is that you can craft online dating to a specific liking from reading the online profiles. However, a woman's words are just a facade.
So for Don Juans, just as myself. Your bad luck online does not mean that you are unattractive offline. You are a gem if women only pass the shallowness of online dating. It really doesn't matter if you were gifted with great looks, consider it a blessing if women reject you because of appearance, those are the type of brats that aesthetically gifted men can be doormats over. Simply, online dating is just another avenue to meet women. Tinder is more like an imaginary online dating tool in my opinion. Nothing and I mean NOTHING will get your foot in the door and develop this Don Juan mindset than actually approaching women in real life. It takes balls and it does take skills. Be happy. Be confident. Be Don Juan.
