Why Tinder is so addictive

[Georgepithyou]

Swiping left on a Tinder profile is the same as pulling the lever on a slot machine.

You might match, you might not. You might win, you might not.

And so the addictive brain chemical dopamine rises in your brain in anticipation for the win.

Its also the messages themselves.

Each positive reply from a potential sexual partner encourages a dopamine response in the man’s brain.

After facing a rejection or a non response, many men act like gambling addicts at the end of a losing streak. Anger. Frustration. Desperation.

When a girl stops replying, she’s not just rejecting the man. She’s also taking away his dopamine surges. And so the man will message her again and again, often not so much desperate for her as desperate for another hit of dopamine.

The value of the average woman is ARTIFICIALLY raised and the value of the average man is artificially lowered.

Online dating is where average men go to have their self-esteem destroyed.

It is addicting lol

The entire dating app is a sales funnel into their premium service.


And you can be absolutely certain that their algorithms encourage people to end up paying.

How do they do this, well, it seems likely that it goes something like this:

• The profiles of new users are made visible to a large number of people. An early success will suck new users into using the dating app for the long-term.
• Overtime, the algorithms will gradually decrease the visibility of the user’s profile. As the user begins to get less and less attention, the “Boost” option begins to seem more and more attractive.
  

You can be sure that the vast majority of those paying for the premium service are men. In fact, this is the foundation of the business model of online dating.

I find it boring. It's like looking at the same kinds of people over and over again. Random strangers that I'm never going to meet showing off their expensive handbags. Why would I care? If you do get a match then it's a boring conversation with a woman that expects to be entertained and often is just there to pass the time anyway with no intention of meeting up.

Getting the ‘match’ tones is such a rush. I kinda miss Tinder

Solid! And we couldn't agree more.

Does OLD (Tinder) give you results? Of course. Does it mess with your mindset, confidence, and valuable time? We (Modern Man Advice) strongly believe so.

Anyways, thanks for sharing this and expressing your own opinion on Tinder.

I hate Tinder, i hate every single internet dating app/site. Its for losers only, real men approach girls in real life and we do not hide behind a screen like some incel.

First time I ever heard someone refer to Tinder as addicting. I feel bad for people if they're addicted to Tinder , but I kinda get it. It's an easy way to pull girls and have sex with a variety of sluts who want nothing but a good time.

The irony of us all hiding behind a screen as we read and type these messages.......

Tinder, Facebook, twitter or anything with notifications are DESIGNED to be addictive. This is from the horse's mouth from one of the co-founders of facebook.
