The Evil Economics of Tinder

[Zimbabwe]

Online dating in its current incarnation does not work because one simple fact: the companies running those services make more money from guys who can't get laid than from making happy couples. The product they sell isn't happiness; their product is misery.

At 6:28 he also shows that 85% users on dating apps are men

Tinder was good to me and I was on for 5 months. I’m not sure I would have stayed as long, if I was unsuccessful. I did buy an upgrade, as, I travelled frequently for work, and paid Tinder had a feature to set one’s location elsewhere.

basic Tinder is free. If one tries it and fares poorly, get off it. Don’t double down and upgrade.

It was good for hookups back when it first came out and before the 100 swipe a day limit.

The money would be better spent on a gym membership,new clothes and a decent haircut.

With a look like that it doesn't surprise me he is whining about his "success" on tinder...

He look so weird and feminine that I could not even focus on what he was saying in the video. Now add is his deep voice and you got a real shemale.

Not a mutually exclusive idea. Your profile picture would improve with that advice and you'd get more traction online.

Why do you feel the need to insult his appearance? That's something insecure women do not men

Dude, the dude (or dudette, who knows these days) is actually trying to make himself look worse or uglier than he probably is. He looks like a white price knockoff who messed the bleach bottle with a hair coloring bottle. It's wrong on so many levels. Just no.

It's a good video , the guy is quite funny and articulate can easily tell he wouldn't do well on swipe apps though

I think we are all more than aware of the "dark economics" on these apps

The only trick I've found to work is to frequently delete your profile and stay off them for up to 4 weeks at a time

The apps naturally give "new users" an initial boost even on free versions to try and hook them in

I created a new profile for bumble last week i got 5 matches in a week not one of them was a HB7 the other 4 around 5-6 at best

i am around an 8 to give that some context

One HB6 suggested a date last Saturday , her interest was through the roof as you would expect so there was little to no sh1t tests or any other nonsense

She arrived we went for breakfast came home and fvcked for most of the afternoon , so the swipe app did its job it got me laid for little effort ..... but lets not forget this girl was a 6 ( at best ) and i am two points above her , i could have gotten the same result in a club except in a club i wouldn't have even approached HB6 because i would be after the 8's and 9's

I have a theory that The algorithms know where you place on the physical attraction scale

It would make no sense for them to match you with women at your own value because then you are far more likely to actually meet and form a lasting relationship which means you will no longer be a customer

Imo unless your paying £100 a month or whatever it is for the elite subscription and your very good looking , your not matching hot chicks end of story

Even if you do pay that and match them because theres no real way to show her what your about she will just get bored and not reply

I'm a toad, and when I was on OLD (never on Tinder, but Match and Bumble), I had literally hundreds of matches and dozens of numbers. I never paid for anything on the bee app and whatever the normal rate was with Match along with a 50% promo code. I guess things can change in two years; but I think OLD is going the way of the dodo and people are going to go back to the normal way of meeting IRL. Smartphones, in my opinion, have spoiled people for choice and people, in general lost the art of IRL communication with their fellow human.

All this from a simple toad.

I don't insult him. I am just honest about what I think. Period.

 

[AureliusMaximus]

Its a form of peacocking. Women are so fickle and want something that is unique it would not suprise me if he gets attention IRL.
He looks way different then 99% of the guys look around here. He will get laid just by looking different if his game is good. And if he owns it.

Yes, that could be that case too.
But to me he just looks weird. My 5 cents tho.. xD

 

[Bingo-Player]

d people are going to go back to the normal way of meeting IRL. Smartphones, in my opinion, have spoiled people for choice and people, in general lost the art of IRL communication with their fellow human.

Agreed , a HB 8/9 is rarely going to give you the time of day on a swipe app

However In the gym where she can see you working out , in nice fitting gear , and you confidently approach her and she can feel your masculine energy your chances with her increase 50 fold

 

[derby1]

if anyone likes matching with bugle whales, and 150 year old women, Then being totally ignored by average women,

when they are a mildly accomplished male who works out, and way to good for an average female

Give These apps a go

The swipe apps want to keep you single because that keeps you in the ecosystem and making money for them. This is true for both sexes.

They want to keep women riding the carousel.

I don't disagree with you but again most fellas don't approach. More gurus are YouTube married guy.

I remember the Simpsons as a kid. Ned's parents say, "we tried nothing and are all out of ideas."

Sure. Use it. Run OLD but your funnel needs to be bigger and better than dumpster fire of ran through thots.

 

[bat soup]

They need to add a "fatty filter" and an "Instagram ho filter" to make it worthwhile.

Also, they shouldn't even show women that aren't interested. That's like deliberately selling bad leads.
