How Tinder “Feedback Loop” Forces Men and Women into Extreme Strategies

The first study of swiping strategies on Tinder shows just how different male and female mating behavior can be.

It's low effort imo. And thats why I think it's worth it.

Didn’t need a study to confirm it. The best chances for men are to like everyone…

If you go through a 2-3 hour daygame session where you go out on a walking/hiking path and do approaches (even using good tactics) and get nothing from that, then it is normal to think that sitting at home in your underwear, swiping, and texting is more productive. It isn't more productive but it has the illusion of feeling lower effort because you didn't shower, get dressed, stand/walk around looking for approaches, etc.

my opinion: It's OVER for TinderCels.

First off, the article is from 2016 and Tinder has changed a lot since then.

Tinder is now 76% male. Bumble and Hinge are 65% male. Both are bad options.

It's more likely now that a more typical man will be celibate if he's primarily using swipe apps to get laid/form extended relationships. Unless you can make a good case for yourself why you're in the Top 10% of men, there are better avenues than swipe apps for finding women for whatever your goals are.

A lot of men fail on Tinder and resort to wanking on PornHub, and wanking/simping on OnlyFans.

Because the swipe apps are so bad, and Insta game isn't easy to run, more typical males will find greater success in social circle game. Some will be able to do to cold approach, but the cold approach path is not an easy path, especially non-bar cold approaching.

Maybe be low effort but its also a tremendous waste of time

It reduces males worth because you can't display any male characteristics other than looks and height

Problem is women aren't attracted visually you can show them as many pictures of men as you like .....she has absolutely no idea if she's going to be attracted to them

hence why most matches will come to absolutely nothing

Delete them

I saw a video on barstool of a college guy who lined up four phones, side by side, all of which had Tinder open.

He would swipe across the four phones at once, so essentially it was like four different people swiping right on everything at the same time.

There was not one match made. In the comments two women expressed surprise at this statistic, and based on their emojis, it seemed to reduce this young man’s value in their eyes.

I’m beginning to view OLD as a form of social control. I get matches in the first few weeks of downloading, and some, but fewer dates, then the well seemingly dries up and I won’t get a match for weeks at a time.

I wonder if some of the initial matches are just fake profiles of employees that the companies use to bait us?

Why do I only get matches in the first few weeks after downloading? I have heard results can be slightly better with paid versions. Regardless, I bet the algorithm is cokc blocking me. I only swipe right on fit, attractive women.

OLD reminds me of the personal ads in the back of those free weekly newspapers back in the day (just before the 900 numbers and hooker ads). I don’t think anyone really had luck on those either.

I’d rather put myself on display IRL. It seems more natural to me.

I also realized that with remote work, delivery services like Amazon, etc, that it is possible to live and work without ever leaving the house.

I prefer fresh air and sunshine.

Most men want the easy way out and have no intention of ever cold approaching. They don't have aocial circles so they become dependent on OLD.

If a man had a viable social circle, he would not be on a swipe app. The swipe apps are the resort of people who have failed in every other avenue. Swiping seems easier because you can conduct all of your activity at home.

Swipe apps are easier, but it's like looking for food in a garbage can. Sure you will find something to eat but it's going to be literal garbage.

Do you know how groceries stores and doughnut shops throw out day out doughnuts? Day old doughnuts sometimes look good but are not good. That's the perfect analogy for swipe apps.

LOL, my high school used to get old donuts to sell in the snack room.
