What I Learned From 24 Hours on Tinder as a 17-Year-Old (Page 2)

[Cosytoasty]

Question did you read any of the profiles, or was it purely down to pictures for your swiping?

[Luci92]

Nah I did read the profiles actually, although most of them were one liners or just had a snapchat username.

[Cosytoasty]

Ahh I see, possibly be due to your age range you set then 😂. I was thinking how does she have time to read the profiles, the ones I swiped on were right up to the character limit for most of them. It seems girls actually take time to fill it out lol.

Anyway, it's not all doom and gloom for a guy if you actually sound like you have your life together. I got my fair share of matches too. Interesting take from a young lady's perspective ✌️️.

[Luci92]

That's cool! And thank you :)

[Robertcw]

The gender disparity on the app is quite crazy. That video is exactly what I’ve been looking for.

Still that guy has more than enough options. With 200+ matches. The amount of matches women have is 700+. Wow.

Crazy. That’s wildly competitive. Stressful, even.

[Terrell456]

You're 17. Why are you Tinder in the first place? Not only that but you can get men in serious trouble for that.

[Luci92]

Really? I think I realised that. If you've only come here to scold me, I'd rather not hear it thanks.

[colourz]

Check that female privilege, omg I'm getting so many matches poor me what ever shall i do.

[Luci92]

Sorry if it came off thay way.

[Library]

Ugh my tinder experience was awful. I got matched with some of the girls at my high school (ew). Overall the girls were not interested or wanted a hook up...

[Kraftmuppen]

Did you talk to the people from high school?

[SpinningDude69]

Well, they basically mad an account there just to fuck around and not for any actual purpose really, quite many people do it.

[SpinningDude69]

The other thing is why did you swiped on the girls you knew were in your high school? Like really? You swiped on them and complain about it... O_o...

[bloodmountain1990]

I've had lots of tinder dates. Most of them were just hookups or flings. Only one who wanted a relationship was very clingy and wouldn't let me have my own life. Wasn't gonna put up with that.

[SpinningDude69]

That's why the communication is very important when it comes to online dating :P

[bloodmountain1990]

@SpinningDude69 Agreed. I told her that and she still didn't listen.

[SpinningDude69]

@bloodmountain1990 Agreed. I told her that and she still didn't listen.

LOL, did she stalked you?

[bloodmountain1990]

@SpinningDude69 nope, she was just oblivious. It was our 3rd date and the date went fine itself then 5 mins after the date, I get a text saying if you're not into me, let me know at least. That really turned me off especially because she'd ask if I still want to see her whether I agreed to a date or rescheduled. I told her I was interseted but things needed to slow down and the insecurities had to stop and she's like what? I'm insecure, things are moving too fast?

And it was our 3rd date within 2 weeks and she was blowing up my phone and sending nudes/pics in her bra/underwear if I wouldn't respond.

[bloodmountain1990]

It's just been tough because the women I've met off those dating sites have been very flaky or very clingy, no happy medium.

[SpinningDude69]

That's some crazy shit right there.

What do you mean by flaky, is it like unreliable person or something ? Tho, isn't there are guys who love a clingy girls? I mean, guys needs to be appreciated too if you know what I mean.

[bloodmountain1990]

@SpinningDude69 By flaky, it means they'll show interest and may suggest meeting up again only for them to ghost on you or give some excuse saying I don't feel it, found someone else, etc. I mean people are free to date who they want but you shouldn't lead someone on if you don't feel it. You don't have to be a dick or bitch about it. But I'd rather know right away that someone's not interested then waste my time only to feel like an idiot.

[bloodmountain1990]

As far as guys being into clingy women. Some are like that, but it's rare. There is a fine line between being appreciated and someone clinging to you where they accuse your every action and won't let you live your own life outside of them. That's not love, that's selfishness and very unhealthy.

I mean it's not a black and white thing. You can still keep in contact with someone without smothering them or not making any time for them. It's not like it's either one extreme or the other.

[Spermdumster666]

Lets face it if you need Internet dating to get a date your in trouble.

[tyber1]

Tinder can be brutal as a guy. Not for people with low self esteem.

[SpinningDude69]

Did she tried to choke you with a garrote or something? 😂

[tyber1]

@SpinningDude69 no, why would you even suggest something so stupid? I'm talking about the likelihood of getting swiped back, the the frequency which women stop messaging you with, the difficulty with convincing a woman to meet up with you.

[SpinningDude69]

@tyber1 As you didn't notice the emoji, I was joking. ehh, people on the internet...

[tyber1]

@SpinningDude69 I'm medicated right now and I couldn't tell

[Scrambledagain]

I'm going to do a tinder experiment too;) I feel too old though so let's see.

[SpinningDude69]

well mate, you will have all this fresh meat throwing at yourself so definitely worth a try, especially at your age ;)

[Scrambledagain]

@SpinningDude69 thanks man. I actually want to take her numbers and see it compared to mine. But I know I will get smashed but I want to do a take on it too. Just to show it. It will be fun.

[AlwaysBelieving]

Glad you had fun with the experiment. I'm glad that I don't have social media other than LinkedIn

[GoldCobra]

I've been using my tinder swiping right on almost everyone for 3 months now and I have 0 matches.

[RainbowFanGirl]

Unfortunately online dating is hard for dudes. :( I think I'm pretty meh but I still got matches. I did it for an experiment then deleted my account. I explain that in my comment that it's hard for dudes.

[GoldCobra]

@RainbowFanGirl 😞😞😞😞

[RainbowFanGirl]

Ikr :( I feel bad tbh

[GoldCobra]

@RainbowFanGirl lol it's ok. I still use tinder. Hopefully I'll match with someone

[CHRIS11796]

That's why it's better to meet a girl in person when aporoaching, it's way easier than online dating that's for sure haha.

[SpinningDude69]

@GoldCobra If you were doing as you say, you should get some matches or maybe it's the place where you live since Tinder relay on Geo-location pretty much.

[SpinningDude69]

@CHRIS11796 It depends for who. You haven't took into consideration guys who are shy/introverted and for those the online dating apps/websites would be a perfect solution even tho it doesn't give them a lot of matches. So for those people it's worth a try anyway.

[MaLifeBeLikeOooAaah]

I used it for a while, just didn't see the point in it.

[redeyemindtricks]

oh hey you had a birthday recently (?) happy bday <3

[MaLifeBeLikeOooAaah]

[redeyemindtricks]

Well... uhhh... you turned 7,000 days old on Sept 6th then. Happy 7,000th last month. <3 <3

[MaLifeBeLikeOooAaah]

@redeyemindtricks Well probably GaG's weird ageing system?

haha! well there's something new ;)

[yotes-of-472]

Did you want a man to date there or was it just a trial test type thing?

[Luci92]

Test

[Jude_Wills]

You study so much in very short time 👍

[Adigelunar]
