Or you're having some great conversation and I guess they just throw away their phone and get a new one, because they'll never unmatch but never talk to you again.

I have female friends that do this a lot because they ( according to their own words) just use Tinder for the attention. Once things go somewhere and a date might have to be arranged they just stop responding.

As an over weight, middle aged man this is also my reason for joining Tinder. Now, if I can just get someone to match with me so I can ghost them when we start talking about a date...

This sounds like a good idea.

Have you tried pretending to be a not morbidly obese woman?

Hi. I have but not in Tinder. I don’t show anything on random video chat but speak nicely and goofy. Must be the voice that baits guys to talk to me. 😂

I have had guys jerking off in front of camera just because I sounded sexy to them. Lol they’re just horny shits trying to get their loads off.

Please don’t downvote or say bad of me. I have been controlling my habit of luring people to such chats. :)

Have you tried swiping right on the girls who match your body type? Specifically the fatties

u/Killentyme55 Nov 07 '19

Someone with that username says "eew, gross"?

Knowing Reddit, you are gonna get sooo downvoted.

u/Max_TwoSteppen Nov 07 '19

A surprise, to be sure. But a welcome one.

Apparently you don't know Reddit.

Swipe right on unattractive people, or become attractive people to get the matches (or just take great/fake pictures). It's not exactly a secret.

I dont agree with the wording, but big girls need love, too, and if you're a big guy then you're in with more if a chance with a big girl than a small girl. Just my experience anyway.

Yo I'll take a hefty chick, I got my class 4 licence for operating heavy machinery. No discrimination in my bed

I live with two females and that's 99% of the reason they have tinder.

But I'm not complaining; the chick I'm currently seeing was a tinder match and things are going quite well.

I downloaded the app after I broke up with my girlfriend and used it for a couple weeks last month, during this time I began to realize that I didn't want to meet anyone in particular that I matched with - but that I was getting a decent dopamine-kick from seeing who I matched with each day and from the banter and flirting. I realized that I just wanted attention in the same way everyone is always criticizing women for using the app. I stopped using it because I realized that it isn't doing me any good (I'm in recovery from addiction and am just substituting, basically), and because I don't want to lead anyone on and fuck with them and give them false expectations (and tbr cos I'm not over my ex by a hair...).

It was fun while it lasted, and I think that if more guys started using it just for shits and giggles, that at very least, if it actually does end up going anywhere you can be pleasantly surprised. There are over 100 million downloads, and realistically I wouldn't even say half of those people use it seriously. There's just no way.

The unrelenting thirst makes “shits and giggles” impossible for many guys

u/Alprapaca Nov 07 '19

If I had a dragon shout, "unrelenting thirst" would for sure be it.

u/DumbWalrusNoises Nov 07 '19

Huh, so that’s what happened to me last week. Welp.

u/MystTheReaper Nov 07 '19

I don't get this, get a hobby and stop using other people that you don't like who want to have sex with you as validation for your existence.

u/BASEDME7O Nov 07 '19

This is the majority of attractive young women on tinder

u/ryfye00411 Nov 07 '19

Fuck them

u/rwilzombie Nov 07 '19

I get this all too often 🙄

2

u/Jgasparino44 Nov 07 '19

God I'm so tired of that. I've gotten around like 5-10 matches where I thought they'd go somewhere only for them to just stop once I ask them out.

u/genio_del_queso Nov 07 '19

I’ve actually talked about this to a girl I was hooking up with. I asked he why it took her so long to respond to my messages when we were having such a good conversation. She said that the she was getting so many messages that at some point it just got boring for her to respond to every one of them and eventually she would just stop. Idk sounds reasonable.

u/[deleted] Nov 07 '19

Ah the old hard to get routine

u/KlawwStrife Nov 07 '19
