I got banned from hinge for unknown reasons… they don’t tell you and that’s where most of my dates were coming from. I scored a few from Bumble and Tinder was my least used. I bought the bumble premium for a month and I’m still getting nothing, I’m using the same pics from hinge so I know it’s not that.

I stopped using Tinder years ago because I noticed I was getting few matches. In the early days of Tinder, I had no problem getting matches.

Similar things happened to me on Bumble and Hinge even with a premium membership. I left.

I am hearing from others that it's getting more and more difficult to get matches.

Most men are having poor experiences on the swipe apps, and even worse experiences as compared to the 2017-2018.

Maybe location. If its not location, just have some patience, new girls entering bumble/tinder every day. Sometimes I would get no matches for days and then suddenly lots of matches.

I don't use it anymore, but I used Bumble for a few months two separate times, about 6 months apart. The first time I used it, I got a lot of matches just because I was new. The matches dried up after about 2 weeks. I waited it out, but the matches were few and far between. I only swiped right on the one's I found attractive (and so did everyone else on the app). Met a few, but mainly the conversation ran their course without meetups and I canceled.

The second time I used it, I changed my game plan. Thinking about all the wokeness that infiltrated the dating apps, I started swiping right on ethnics, fatties and trannys (and the attractive girls too ofc). Something I never did this before, I had to swallow my pride on a daily basis and go for the greater good. Guess what? The matches never stopped coming. Yeah, I matched with a lot of trash, but I got waaaaay more hot girl matches too. I think the algorithm tests you to see if you are open to BLM and "Big and Beautiful" and are not LBGXYZ&=@+-phobic, you get rewarded by not being shut out of the whole system.

I don't use it anymore, walking up on girls is way more fun and more productive (for me).

Just my take...

This is why I don't use those apps. Something artificial about it all.

The only way for location to make the problem go away is to GeoMax. :rolleyes:

So you're trying to say that if you swipe on the lowest of the low (ethnics excepted), you'll get more swipes from decent chicks? I've actually heard the opposite - that being picky means that the algorithm puts you at a more desirable level, and thus in more desirable chicks' feed. Of course, I only swipe while GeoMaxxing. :rolleyes:

I have a question: didn't you feel disgusted having all these fatties & trannies sitting in your matches? I think I accidentally swiped on a tranny, and I am considering paying just so I don't have to his face. :mad:

I'm not saying to machine gun swipe on all the bottom-feeders, but just be "all-inclusive" while you are looking for whatever you're looking for. Just swipe a buffalo and a she-man here and there. For some reason or another (woke type sh!t) I found that it helps be seen by more of the desirables.

Since the pandemic more and more men have been swamping Tinder and Bumble, the ratios were 9:1 before and I can't even imagine how bad it is right now. The few women on there are absolutely overwhelmed, just look at my Tinder thread for reference.

The silver lining is that less men now have the balls to approach women in the real world.

I think it could be that Tinder and Bumble don't let you send a message to a girl you like, maybe your messages are really good and help you do well.

Could also be that Tinder and Bumble have more attractive girls, so the difficulty increases.

The women are uglier on the major swipe apps. I made a new tinder account and wow. Women listing herpes positive on their profile, preggers, trannies, etc. now.

The downside of approaching in the real world is the returns are low, and very slow, even if you're a very good player. It's also very energy and time consuming. You have to do a lot of it to get rewarded, and it's not even just a numbers game. You have to do a lot and you have to be a good player, to make the returns on your effort worthwhile. You can't just do 100 approaches and expect to get 1 lay. You have to do 100 good approaches with good game. That's a lot of effort. Nightgame is superior to daygame in every way, aside the fact that it's at night and you have to deal with drunk people.

Apps provide probably the best opportunity for instant gratification and same-day-lay potential. Apps are superior to daygame and nightgame for volume. I don't agree with posters here saying that apps are full of only fat, ugly women. Not true at all. What is true is that the hot women on apps are very hard and you need special bait to get them.
Downside to OLD is many of the women are fat and of low quality. Why do you think IRL you see much hotter women in public than you do OLD, especially since Covid started? Decent looking women have no use for OLD.

You said it best when you stated OLD is the uber eats of dating. It's cheap,fast and easy. The quality keeps going down while the prices continue to rise. Back in 2014 i was a skinny guy with no game or style but I still consistently got lays from Tinder. Today I am better in every way but I'm having to put much more effort for half the results.

Day game just feels a lot more satisfying, it's the thrill of the chase.

First two profiles I see on Tinder when I opened the app: (note the second one is verified)

Of course it's nearly impossible to march with girls that hot, but at least they're there so you can try if you want.

Meanwhile in my experience on Hinge or POF a HB7 is top 5% but it's easier to get matches and conversations.

Bumble is the same as Tinder for me. OKC is like those two but to a lesser extent, it's like right under them.
 

Never try to read a woman's mind. It is a scary place. Ignore her confusing signals and mixed messages. Assume she is interested in you and act accordingly.

The first pic what is up with her hips? They seem awfully wide compared to her torso. When she hits 30 shes going to be pretty hefty around the waist with that type of build.

Ok dude. I’ve had enough of this. Someone has to be honest with you.

The hot women online aren’t matching with you man. The unfortunate reality is we aren’t running in the same race. There’s no equality here - and that’s down to women being selective.

I’ve seen you post your pic here before and I don’t think anyone here has the heart to tell you. It’s always going to be difficult for you online with that mug of yours.

What makes it even harder is that your communication style is strange. You just come across as odd and obsessive. Women won’t like that. So you’re going to have an extremely rough time out there unless you tone down the autism a bit.
100% accurate. I would like to add that even if he were doing in-person approaching, that mug isn't doing him any favors. That mug + autistic tendencies + bad demographics = no vagina

Tinder and Bumble have some bizarre algorithms, I swear they are designed to make men frustrated so they'll buy the paid version. It definitely didn't used to be like that. They also do a bait and switch by making your profile more featured in the beginning.

I've only ever used Hinge for the past few years now, and despite it having way less users, I get more matches on there, and of higher quality. Just use bluestacks if you want to bypass the ban.

She's a biological female, they have wide hips, it helps with childbirth and is attractive to men. It's actually one of the ways you can spot a male body vs a female body. (Men have broad shoulders)

You're probably shadow banned for signing up for a new account too quickly. A couple years ago Tinder started shawdow banning if you delete your account and sign up within 30 days with the same cell number.

You either have to wait at least 30 days or get a different cell number. This has been posted on here and in many articles.

I do notice the swipe apps they give you less swipes before you have to pay for the upgrade versions of them.
 

Do not be too easy. If you are too easy to get, she will not want you. If you are too easy to keep, she will lose interest in you. If you are too easy to control, she will not respect you.
