Computers & Internet - Tinder

Had an interesting experience with tinder - rewind 4 weeks ago I had never heard of it. Until one night I was sitting around at a dinner party with my fiancé, 3 other couples and a single mate. Single mate was talking about it so I downloaded the app to see what all the fuss was about. Blokes...

Was bored and thought I would check out OG Tinder having not used it for years.

Wow, what an absolute train wreck. Ads, nonsense notifications, fake/scam profiles, glitch profiles, dead profiles... I honestly reckon 1 in 5 profiles I actually thought there was a person on the other end also using the app somewhere near me.

Good luck to anyone who still uses the app on a regular basis. It's a no from me, dawg.

I still get decent success from it.

Hinge and Bumble I find a bit too cringey and serious.

Matched with a girl in my apartment complex this week, have been chatting a bit. Could be handy.

doesnt Parkville have the highest female population in the country, but also the highest amount of single homeowners?

Not many girls are cool with just 'coming over' - even if it's in the same building. Nor are they cool with having a stranger over. Some are - most aren't.

Will need to be some sort of coffee/drinks vibe check at some point.

Meet out the front of the building, in daylight hours, for a walk to get a coffee?

Good point. talking the same way as someone continents away but referencing the same washing machine that chews your change is definitely better

Yeah when we both have time it'll be super easy to tee up.

Let's hope it goes well and you then live an elevator ride away from a new lady friend.

Of course, it then gets awkward if you're in the elevator with a different lady friend...

Yeah well any sort of man would convert that into a threesome I'd reckon

If it is just handy, do you really need tinder?

2 tinder dates this week, 2 people using horrendously outdated photos that don't look like them, and they wonder why I was a bit cagey initially during the conversation.

It didn't click for personality reasons, but its getting off badly on the wrong foot when they look nothing like their photos.

As David Brent they should be holding a copy of today’s newspaper in their photo

I don't think it's a big deal if not all of your photos are super recent. Just need to have something that shows how you look currently. I'd rather see photos that are different and up to year or two old than 5 filtered selfies from the last week. Normal people don't take a million photos of themselves, but it's always a warning sign if someone has a heap of Facebook/Instagram photos and chooses to photos from 2016.

Some people are photogenic, some aren't. I've met girls whose photos were recent and thought they looked totally different. I've been on the receiving end of 'you look better in your photos' and 'you look better in real life'. shrug

Whether it's angles, lighting, age of photos etc. or omitting information/blatantly lying I figure whatever you are trying to hide will get found out soon enough.

I know a girl who is currently on 2 dating apps (I'm on neither, a friend social media stalked and asked me about her). She's 32 on one app and 36 on the other. She's actually 40. She's also really 'into' make-up and 'pulling off looks' and looks very different in a cropped group photo in pub lighting than in real life. Don't mean to be harsh but she looks OK for her age, not hot for a much younger age. Each to their own but I'll never really understand it. Either live in a state of delusion or meet people and immediately have them tell you you look older, fatter etc. I'd find that depressing personally.

Bingo.

On my profile I have 2 photos from holidays in 2017. And a few photos from stuff in 2019.

But all the immediate photos are from the last 3 months. And they all say when they are from.

The first person had 5 photos, all from 2010, all don't look nothing like her at all.
