I reinstalled Tinder 2 days ago. I live in a new country (Czech Republic), I have a new phone number (I used a new recovery email too) and a new iPhone so I thought it would help with setting up a brand new account. I uploaded a new picture as main picture, which I think is pretty good, some say I look like a male model on this particular photo. Anyway. I also reinstalled Bumble and Hinge. I swipe range 25-30.
Some observations:
-A lot of women with dogs (big dogs)
-A lot of women with tattoos (arm, chest, thighs)
-A lot of women in outdoor settings (hiking, climbing, surf)
-A lot of women in fancy places (restaurants, travel, etc.)
-A lot of women at the gym (either gym sl*ts or bodybuilding)
-Almost all women are overweight (not obese), very few skinny girls
-Below average or at best average faces
-No description or Instagram only
-If there is a description, it's always super generic: "Guess who's a foodie and love traveling?"
About Tinder and its algorithm
I got almost 20 likes in the first 30mins, after that it went dead. One like or 2 per day. I consider that I have a "good" profile, pictures are ok (some pro pics, some candid pics), "normal" description. I suspect Tinder to give a quick boost to your profile in the first hours by showing your profile to bottom tier profiles and then reduce its visibility to almost invisible. I got only 1 match with a cute girl, she never replied my message.
What it does is you get a high and then a down, you immediately want to buy premium services to get more matches, unfortunately it doesn't really work, it doesn't change anything (from my previous experiences). You will escalate from tinder+ to tinder gold and finally tinder platinum. It just blows my mind how Match Group Inc has become greedy, men don't stand a chance. A girl at school, (HB 4-5) showed me her Tinder, she had a endless list of matches and messages, from above average guys! I couldn't believe it. Completely different reality for women.
About Bumble
They moderate your pictures for whatever stupid reason. I got one of my picture removed because the picture showed me in action while shooting a model, I guess it's too sexist for them, it's completely retarded. Got less likes than Tinder, and while swiping left I cancelled all of them, so all the girls that had liked me were sh1t. Since then, nothing. Looks like Bumble is now using the same tactics for making you pay premium, it was not like that before. Got one match, she didn't message me.
About Hinge
A lot of fatties. You can only like 5-6 profiles per day. I think the prompts is a bad idea, usually it makes the girls look even more stupid and generic, I mean if you don't have anything interesting to say, shut the fck up. Got 1 match, she never replied to my message. Then nothing, no activity. It's look like it always the same ugly profiles looping over and over.

So I think that yes women over evaluate their SMV and have become more picky, but the system of OLD is against men. It's not that men don't get swiped right (well, less and less) but more that men profiles have no visibility. How can you get matches is your profile is shown once in a while? It makes men insecure, which doesn't help for men that have already confidence and self-esteem issues. I got 4-5 lays with Tinder but it was 3-4 years ago.
OLD is crap, I prefer to cold approach, I might not get a high ROI but at least I can choose which girl I want to talk to, it improves my social skills, it forces me to approach and reduces my approach anxiety, and at least I don't contribute to this system made by those c0cksuckers at Match Group. It only makes men miserable, weak and disposable. It's weird society we're living in, OLD is psychologically as toxic/addictive as smoking/drugs/alcohol but it's available on the App Store, I prefer to stay away from it. Our society is going down the toilet, I can't help but to be pessimistic, I honestly see no hope, it's going to get worse.
