Dissecting the three dating apps

[Jake_Gyllenhaal69]

I see a lot of topics about which online dating app to pick and given my experience on them, I'll just summarize them in this topic. FIRST, apps you need to have good pics and be in shape. No pickup line or bio is going to set you apart, her being attracted to you will. I'm 12% bf, 6ft, and have a decent job so I don't have issues getting dates or matches.

Tinder- This is good for the younger crowd- 18-24 and the easiest to get hookup sex from. The major is con is that you do have to pay to get matches and you have to time it right. Again, since it's mostly for hookups you will meet some really odd and insecure women on this app.

Bumble- Bumble is full of sorority college girls and post college yuppy women. I feel like the girls on here are looking for some Luke Bryan or Jake Gyllenhaal dude to sweep them off their boring ass Nashville sunday brunch feet. I have the least luck on this app out of the three. Race and occupation matter more than looks and money here. If you are a post frat white dude in a white collar profession than this is the app for you. If not then I wouldn't even bother with this app at all.

Hinge- Basically Hinge is full of ex bumble girls that failed at finding a Luke Bryan and the hook-up relationship with Chad from college fizzled out. Instead of seeing only brunch and wine **** in pictures, you will start seeing more travel, cooking, and dog pics. She ONLY dated corporate white guys on bumble, but you are a decent black guy in medical school/decent job now you might be able to slide in. A woman on hinge is extremely vulnerable and will be more likely to go on dates and message you buttttttt always know that a wounded bear or lion is can be at its most dangerous state. Do not let your guard down easily with a woman from hinge, vouch this girl for a year at minimum before giving her your commitment.


OVERALL... I would recommend Tinder because it cuts through the bull **** the fastest. Yes, Hinge gets you dates and responses, but it will literally drain you the most.

I have done great with both Bumble and Hinge...had a FNL with a Hinge woman yesterday night actually.

Haven't ever used Tinder.

Read your report just now (congrats btw) Mid 30s Pink lookalike chick. Think the demographic Jake had in mind when posting was the 18-24 year old 8+ one. Who he says its Chad or bust with.

Maybe it is with that demographic...I do really well on OLD and I am definitely not Chad. I look OK, have a solid muscular frame although I am a little heavier than in my prime but not fat, and rely on personality, humor and escalation in person. It works for me, not with every women but with enough that I haven't had more than a few week dry spell in a long long time...maybe three years or more.

with the amount of options women have on OLD, you have to look great as a minimum requirement

ya that's obvi to everyone by now. I don't do online dating, but i found it interesting how you say what you do for a living really matters for these things whereas in real life its irrelevant as long as you look good and aren't a sperg.

Depends on location.
In my country (Romania) had succes on both Bumble on Tinder, being maybe in the first 15% by looks as a guy.

On Bumble I've had quicker matches with nicer girls.

On Tinder:seems to be harder to match at first, but the volume is hugh, there are plenty more options but usually girls who've been on plenty of dates before. Can be a con, but you can surely take advantage of it. Depends on how you look at things.

Just wanted to throw my own experience, not sure how much it helps Americans, but I'm guessing the algorithm is the same, and only demographics differ.

Nah, this is just not true. At least not for mid 30s to mid 40s women. You have to look good enough but once you pass that test it comes down to other things. Telling interesting stories seems to really get them invested during the first date. I have had several tell me they loved the stories I told them and found me to be very interesting unlike a lot of the other guys who were boring.

Excite their mind and their body will follow many times...

True, yet women in their late 30s are also looking for security. Not all of them, but probably the majority.

ya mate this is why i mentioned demographics.

I mean what do you think he meant by 'mininum requirement'? lol

Tinder may be more ‘hook up’ oriented, but one can get LTRs out of it without much effort.

Stopped reading at 6 ft and 12% bf
You could literally say hello and have her in bed...

False, what nonsense does this come from?

I was joking

There's been quite a few guys on here who think a guy shorter than 6 feet doesn't stand a chance.

 

[coyote_astro]

Lately I've found Tinder to be full of trash. It used to be much better when I first joined in 2014, but back then I did not know how to play the 'game' there. I think others have made similar observations about it in this forum. Keep in mind that I'm a little older than you, so that might be an issue. I still swipe and get matches on it, just not very satisfied overall.
If it works for you, keep at it of course.

 

[Velasco]

Strongly advise caution

Looking for an LTR is Beta and women hate it

If you're able to bang a woman quickly then that's a rock solid indicator that she's highly attracted to you (which is the foundation of an LTR). Nah, trust is the foundation of a LTR. Hard to come by and inevitably takes a long time to build, but if that's not there you can forget about LTR...

Chase Amante made a similar post talking about how girl's preferences in men change as they age over at GC (talking about younger girls prefer bad boys and older girls prefer ambitious, established guys) but he doesnt touch on the impact of looks as they age.

As a woman ages, her tastes in men change. What does an under-21 girl prefer that women 32+ do not? Read on and find out. As a man, your taste in women may or may not have changed as you’ve aged. I know a few guys whose tastes have changed over the years. Though I know many more guys whose...

Why instead of linking his, I linked Rollo's despite not liking much of his content cuz I agree.

Last nite

both 18 (find its easier to find them out in the streets VS club game) and neither asked what i do for a living (why i say IRL it doesn't matter), thought i was 18 myself (looks. (i don't look old, dress young, behave young, am 6ft tall (6' 1" with boots) + humor/relatability/sex talking (all fall under the umbrella of "game") + leading w/ plausible deniability .
