How Should I Swipe?

[AmandaYVR]

I haven't seen any dating apps at all. Many years ago I was helping a friend create profiles on a bunch (on the web versions which were very full featured), and even helping her to choose which ones to interact with and ultimately meet. It was quite fun.

But nowadays, I couldn't comment specifically. I'm surprised that what you're describing is what I understood to only be a feature of Tinder. Are you on Tinder? (I don't think you should be. It's not your cup of tea.)

If lots of dating apps are doing swipe left/swipe right... then shame on them. I think this is the worst thing that's ever been created (that's a bit of hyperbole, but I'm only slightly exaggerating.)

Give the 'maybes' a chance. Definitely.
(And know that that's what other guys are doing. It's a strategy of wide-net fishing. They get so few bites otherwise.)

Be selective but not too selective🤔

If you are on a site like Bumble or Tinder you only have so many RIGHT swipes then it makes you wait a while to be able to swipe right again. So I wouldn't just swipe right on everyone, I would definitely be particular so you don't run out of swipes.

Now of course these apps are a business and you should always consider upgrading so that you can see who has swiped on you. For me my time is precious and I am not playing around with the free dating app versions.

Due to the stupid algorithm, i constantly swipe right, and unmatch those I'm not interested in

I generally don't perceive a guy's identity to be legitimate if he doesn't put any word and only pictures.

If it's a good-looking guy with no descriptions, I generally just put him in the category of "non intellectual" so it's a no for me.

I feel that looking good doesn't do anything to me if the guy can't even briefly describe him, anything, any aspect of him. Yes, some people can be introverted, but they're not talking; they're typing.

If they're on dating sites, what's the purpose of not describing themselves if many others have the same opinions as I do? Then they would be categorized as no by a lot of people.

I like to think of dating as job searching. I think it's a good analogy. We look at people's resumes (if first met on dating sites, would be the profiles, then texting), then we interview them (going on dates, or "phone interviews" first), we talk more to evaluate if the job (the other person) is for us, and the other person evaluates if we fit the job (if we are for them).

So let's look at the job descriptions and resumes then we talk.

That doesn't mean that I'm boring. I do have my standards and expectations, but I'm not that picky, and I'm not rigid with my dates.

I'm actually one of the very rare women who have a full-time job and a car, but willing to give a chance to a guy who's still looking for a full-time job and car, if I like him in many aspects.

Voted b. I don't know what app u use but on like tinder even if you swipe left after awhile they still come. On some other apps i used same happens. Dating apps want to give you options n they r not unlimited so its in their interest to offer you anything. Also, on tinder when you once get matched w someone n unmatched they dont ever appear to you anymore.

I think swipe on those who appear to be open-minded, have self-respect, High self-esteem, you can look for red flags. If she's worried about what you do for a living that can turn out to be that she's just looking for a guy's money... If she fails to text you a lot or she repeats herself in asking you stuff in text messaging that can be a red flag. I've run into issues with this girl who we don't text much well it's the distance she is on the West Coast and I'm on the East Coast and we text each other once in blue moon so yes there is a communication gap so I believe it's the distance for us?

These dating apps are very superficial. from whatever angle you look at it , you get the same result , one facet of multifaceted person. And without info to base some of your likes or dislikes on, it becomes yet more superficial and pointless. That is , if u are seriously looking for a potential partner , if not , then I don't think that might pose a problem for you.
As for giving only two options , swipe left or right , it is just as deep as these apps can get. Because in real life , you don't get to sit on the fence for long , you are either fully in or out.

It could be either or, I mean really most of the people you swipe right on won't really talk or have much of anything interesting to say.. Unless you read their profiles, and they are interesting.. But it's not a problem to be discriminatory.. I mean it's not like they'll ever know you didn't swipe on them.

i don't do dating apps. i certainly would never ask my friend for advice on how to use them either.

my one friend introduced me to one and tried to she me how it worked. he was swiping yes on a bunch of trannies!

he said no i'm not. until i proved it to him because they had it in their profiles.

i'm concerned for him. he'll never get a wife this way

[Aakash_Hangargi]

Hmm, easy way would be swipe right note down ask for no. Chat with them know them If all OK date them.

After receiving no. You can differentiate with list of people you got and you can select 7 profiles a week so you can spend time on phone first knowing there details then select one out of seven then choose to go on date if that doesn't go well next person in the list

I've always swiped on profiles based on the bio and well the pictures shouldn't be too staged/posed. But then again thats me. I like it when the bio uses dry humour, memes in the pics- so in that sense, I already screen the lot of them xD
Id say give it a right swipe because probability? XD chances of stumbling upon a good one might happen? Haha good idea to math it out, thanks, gives me ideas on solving this

Either you begin talking to them and learn more or you don't.
in case you haven't realized: there's not enough information to tell if you'd really like -anybody-

that's why it's not swipe right to get married.

[ijr123]

just swipe right to everyone, you never know what you'll get lol

[modelUN242]

Take the time to swipe, it'll save you the hassle in the long run, plus you'll have extra swipes for the better ones.

[Wiredone]

I have absolutely no clue. Is there any options to just scroll like normal? I haven't been on any dating sites

[Anonymous]

[msc545]

Depends on your tolerance, time, and money.
