Why do you use Tinder?

[whyisitso]

I started using Tinder a few years ago. I always delete the whole app when I get too many matches that send me weird messages. There is a lot of guys who think they are gonna get sex from all their matches, and then there are guys who wants to get to know you. There are also a lot of creepers.

I have got some really creepy stalkers from there also. One was always asking me to come over and I never said yes, then he started stalking me and sent me messages he had seen me and wanted to fuck. Great. I didn't.

So now I want to hear what you GaGers think. What do you use Tinder for? Do you have any weird experiences to share here?

Date

Kill time

Troll people

Sex

Talk

SEE RESULTS (do not use it myself)

I know this question applies to Tinder, but... I have used the following on and off:
-Tinder
-POF
-OKCupid

I have quit online dating for a while, because you women are all the same.

Common Female Profile:
"I want a guy who has good conversation, who has a college degree, is independent, is a hard worker, is intelligent, knows what he wants and dresses well."

I give women all of that, and then they stop replying to my messages after a few days. These are the same women that constantly complain that there's no good men in the world.

Honestly... women don't need to use online dating to meet men. I really think women use those sites to get attention or they are bad daters and aren't good at keeping men around because of their personalities.

[whyisitso]

Or then you just message all the women that behave like that. And by the way; you men are all the same too. At the end if the day we all are.

[Fearless_banana]

Hook ups lmao. Here are some of mine.

I have not/do not/will not use Tinder. I am not curious about meeting fuckboys neither getting STDs from them. Why would you use Tinder? You should be desperate and not be able to hold or satisfy yourself sexually. I think each time you push too hard to meet or hookup someone online, universe is pushing the time to the future, the time you'll meet the love of your life. No point in forcing the destiny.

[whyisitso]

I am using it to just talk with interesting people and have fun. I am not searching for sex-partners or anything serious either. I just like to talk to new people. :) I have also met a few nice guys fromantic there. But I understand your point and I agree with some of it.

[teawrecks]

I only use it when I go through lengths of time where I feel particularly horny. And then when that feeling goes away I just delete it or ignore it.

So far I haven't found a dude to fuck yet. Be it due to me being super picky or because we take too long to set something up and one or both of us lose interest.

[whyisitso]

Maybe you really just dont want to fuck a random guy you never even met? That could be the reason you dont find anyone for that

[orphan]

Nail on the head @asker

[teawrecks]

On the contrary asker I can think of at least two guys I've never met that I want to fuck

[akadatank44]

Hey I know those two guys too 😉

[teawrecks]

@akadatank44 do you? 😱I don't think you doooo

[whyisitso]

Hahahaa 😂

[akadatank44]

Pretty sure I do baby girl 😉

[teawrecks]

@akadatank44 you keep that up and you'll add yourself to the list

[akadatank44]

Bahahahahah maybe I just might 😏 I'm already in the pros list for as far as Wisconsin residents go! 😉

[teawrecks]

@akadatank44 so close yet so faaaaarrrrr

[akadatank44]

Ikr? 😕 oh the fun we woukd have 😉😉

[teawrecks]

@akadatank44 I'll make the drive to you one of these days 😝 Since you won't come to me 😒

[akadatank44]

Lol I could come to you 😜 or we could meet half way lol

[teawrecks]

@akadatank44 mm I'm definitely down, no jokes. 😋

[akadatank44]

We will see 😋

[teawrecks]

Thanks for MHO

[Girly1710]

I made one once because we found out my friend's boyfriend had one and we wanted to see what he was up to (he was being an asshat in case anyone wondered) but I tried to delete it the same day and it wouldn't let me so I just deleted the app.

[whyisitso]

You are now aware that guys who use Tinder can still swipe you there? If you have swipe guys right, they can match you and start a convo. 😅 I wouldn't personally like that. You can try with going to facebook settings and see the apps that you have allowed using your profile. Then block/den tinder. I think that would also hinder it from functioning.

[EmmyGiraffe]

Hahahaha i like the first pick up line i would continue to talk to that guy. Tinder is a lot of fun if you are looking for casual sex.

[whyisitso]

Haha it was kinda funny 😂

[Yumix]

I've installed it just out of curiosity. I wanna give online dating a try so I thought why not but didn't use it much. On other apps I get regularly matches and likes but on tinder literally 0, so I just stopped using it

[whyisitso]

Maybe you used bad pictures or had a weird description? 😄 othervise it sounds weird

[Yumix]

I have on a different app (Lovoo) the same pics and description and get regularly likes and matches. When swiping myself it seems that there are less people on Tinder living close to me... which surprises me because Tinder is by far the most well known one of those apps.

[EllieLexis513]

Try Bumble. It's just like Tinder, except men cannot send the first message, you have to do it.

[whyisitso]

I would but it is not that common over here, so there are like only 10 people near me using it and probably they aren't using it either after they saw how unpopular it is.

[Omgjosh]

My goal is to get the know the girl on there first then go on a date. Seems like the girls I try to talk to use it for an ego boost or they don't respond because I'm "boring". They say they want to get to know you first but don't respond. So do they just want sex? No because those guys are rude and creepy! What the hell do girls want in there?

[whyisitso]

Maybe they are talking to someone else. Or they dont use it much. But not all guys reply either, so dont be silly and say it is only girls 😂 and do not take it too personal. It is just tinder. And who knows maybe you said some weird pickup-line..

[Omgjosh]

I don't use pick up lines. That's exactly what I mean. I don't just say hi. And I don't just ask if they want to hook up or use a pick up line. I compliment them and ask them how they're doing. they respond, but it doesn't go on after that.

[whyisitso]

The problem is that you probably don't make an effort to continue the convo. Many girls get lot of messages and if they are gonna continue the discussion with someone the other party needs to make it clear that they wanna continue it. Usually when guys start with a compliment, I dont know what else to say than thanks. It doesn't start a conversation, because it flatters but it also makes you a little too aware of yourself. If you want to compliment, do it after you have started the convo with something else. And the best compliments is the ones that come after you meet irl. Try saying something random or asking them what they think about *something you like* for example.

[Omgjosh]

Trust me, I do. Girls just expect every single one of their hundreds of matches to say something special. Most girls expect too much. I can't show who I am online. It bugs me, but at the same time it doesn't because they're missing out,

[whyisitso]

Do have you ever just straight out asked them out? 😄

[whyisitso]

Have you *

[Omgjosh]

Yes, after i compliment them and they respond, I ask them how they're doing, they respond again, then I ask them if they want to get a beer or coffee. A lot of girls actually say in their bios to take them out for a beer or coffee. But I don't get responses after that. They either never respond to begin with or it ends after I ask them out.

[lumos]

To go on dates. I have another date tomorrow with a great guy I met on tinder :) we've been talking for a couple of months now and it's been nice.

[akadatank44]

Don't use it and never will and yeah that's the expected result. Its not for dating it's for hookups. Period. People saying shit oh its for dating. Nahh guys and girls on there are to fuck lol. Idc if you met your boyfriend or girlfriend on there. Orginally they all were dtf lmao

[whyisitso]

I am not there to fuck, and this poll shows that there are other people who aren't there to fuck. Just saying. But it is not any thing you need to use, I think the app is crappy anyway. But do not talk about something you know nothing about.

[akadatank44]

Lol I do know what I'm talking about. The premise of the app has always been for hookups. Justify it as you may. But that's the bottom line. Yes people form relationships on there and date but at the end of the day most users are on there to hookup

[Fearless_banana]

@puppylove94 one of the few girls not on there to fuck that I actually believe lmao

[akadatank44]

@Fearless_banana lmao yup. Maybe some others but what guy in his right mind is gonna say I'm gonna download tinder today to find me a girlfriend?

[Puppylove94]

@Fearless_banana @akadatank44 I think a lot of girls make a tinder to date... But they end up hooking up cause guys can be persuasive. Most girls on tinder aren't all that confident in my opinion. They'll take the bait

[whyisitso]

I have been so mean to all those shitty fuckboys who try to get me in bed on tinder. I think that is the most amusing part in the whole app. To just make the-full-of-themselves-type of fuckboys all insecure about themselves... 😂 But I am actually there to meet interesting guys, not those scumbags...

[Puppylove94]

Yeah I actually wrote "not looking to hook up" on my profile lol that helped filter out a lot of those assholes

[whyisitso]

@Puppylove94 I wrote that too, but i got somehow even more of those guys. Maybe they thought it was some kind of challenge... haha, but I enjoy making them dissapointed though

[Puppylove94]

Lmao I don't waste my time with that.

[whyisitso]

@Puppylove94 yeah, it is waste of time. But isn't that what tinder is mostly? Or have you met someone really worth it?

[Puppylove94]

Yeah, I have. Last fall I met a guy and we dated a few months. But I've only met 1 guy worth dating in my opinion. I'm starting to give up tho... There haven't been as many good choices recently

[whyisitso]

@Puppylove94 But one is already something. :) I met also one good guy recently, just that he is moving to another country soon. So I guess it will end sooner or later anyways. I am not sure if I should even continue it any further. Tinder isn't really a great place to find something real, but there is always that slight chance ofc.

[Anonymous]

I've never had the chance to use it. I've been with my boyfriend way before tinder came out. But I'm dying to try it. It seems like everyone who uses it has great stories!

[whyisitso]

Haha! Trust me, even if it is fun for a while it gets boring and annoying. So you are not missing anything very special. 😊

[Polocrew]

lmaooooooooooooooooooooooo at swiped wrong, nerds should be banned from tinder. All they do is complaint and make questions on yahoo about tinder is useless

[whyisitso]

Haha that should maybe have been one option; to complain

[Polocrew]

Lmao tinder is like easy as hell and yet they can't pull and desided to complaint about it on yahoo and shit

[whyisitso]

Omg... 😂 I didn't even know that. Why would you use it if you can't even understand how it works?

[Polocrew]

Lmaoo yea and then they complaint about chicks not liking nice guy, altho only problem they need fixing in themselves baha

[whyisitso]

And one big problem is that no one can choose who they like or who likes them. Just because they like someone and are nice to them doesn't mean they'll like them back 😅

[Polocrew]

It's like middle school for them again baha

[whyisitso]

Probably 👌 maybe they'll learn some day.

[Anonymous]

I recently created an account. I just wanna find out if I can any matches. Maybe get a confidence boost. Or my confidence could be crushed. Basically taking risk. If I get any matches then I will only chat. Not looking for sex or long-term relationship.

[Anonymous]

Tinder is pretty much a hookup app and you can't really expect much from a site/app that doesn't require a paid subscription. That is where the creeps and goof-offs will be.

[Jazzminegalx]

Some use it to find dates, some use it for sex, some use it to find husband or wife , some use it for fun or some use it for boosting their ego

[meatballs21]

When I used it, I used it for whatever - dates, hookups. Just not to find friends because that's not what it's meant for!

[SleepingSnorlax]

I really just use it to kill time ill get it for a month, delete it and get it again a fee months later and repeat

"Im new to tinder and swiped the wrong way" hahaha classic

[rgb008]

When I did use it, I treated it like a game.
How many matches can I get?
Answer: 1400 lmao
Went on a date with one of them. Lmao bad choice.

[whyisitso]

Haha, yeah but it kinda is a game anyways.

[rgb008]

Yeah haha people take it too seriously lmao

[Anonymous]

To troll people for amusement. I one time got this guy to pay me for me to send him nudes (that wasn't of me but he didn't know that) haha.

[LaVilaine]

I met my current boyfriend on Tinder.

[whyisitso]

Aww! I would really want to know more... so curious ☺

[LaVilaine]

Ask away, doll. I'm not bothered.

[Anonymous]

To find sexual partners to have group /no strings sex

[whyisitso]

That's probably easy to find. I at least get too many sex invitations. And I am not there for that which I make clear.

[Opinion Owner]

You are only 21 dont turn down meetings because they ask if you are dtf.. most are all talk and tend to chicken out when you actually want to meet for sex... you never know the ones that do show up may end up being your Tinder prince.

The amount of guys that swipe and insist that they are dead serious about joinning my partner and i for mfm or a gangbang and when you ask to meet up they do a no show

[whyisitso]

Okey, I dont know. It just doesn't sound like my kind of guy 😂 I have no idea what I even want to find. But I definitely do not want to fuck random men. It's not that I think they would just rape me, but I think they are not my type if their first words to me is: wanna fuck? ... or something like that.

[Opinion Owner]

Yeah... i know what ya mean.. not sure there's that many princes on tinder... lots of knights and court jesters tho haha

[whyisitso]

Haha yeah 😉

[RedThread]

I don't use tinder or dating sites.

[whyisitso]

Why are you guys commenting this! This question is for tinder users and if you don't have anything to say about Tinder I don't see why you want to comment. 😂 Haha, but I am glad for you though. Tinder is not really anything worth wasting your time on.

[RedThread]

You had a see results option that was for people who don't use it themselves.

[whyisitso]

Yeah, I made the button for curious GaGers... But why do you comment it 😂 maybe I have missed some hidden point here on GaG, because I didn't know this was gonna happen. But it is ok I guess, I was just wondering.

[orphan]

I would just swipe right on everything. 5-10 matches a day.

[Toad-1]

You should stop using it

[whyisitso]

Probably, just that o have found some interesting guys too there.
