Okay, we all know that being a guy on Tinder is basically playing a video game at max difficulty settings. Or LeetCode hard, when it comes to Blind. Calling all power users of Tinder to share some tips (no pun intended) for men. This includes women who can provide some insight as to how they expect guys to approach them when they get matched. Before this becomes a TC measuring contest... TC: (3 + 3√238328 +√289)k
Tinder is easy bro. Don't overthink this, just follow rules 1 and 2.

What are you looking for? A girlfriend? An easy lay? If the former you're wasting your time.
Post your TC on tinder...
Though modest compared to the people here, that may attract the “wanderlust” species.
Tinder really is just about getting good pictures. Honestly, it's not even too much about looks unless you have really unlucky genes, although being good looking does help a lot. Get a set of nice outfits, ask a friend/pay a guy to take nice pictures of you in a few different places, and, if you have a dog, take one with him/her. That way you should be fine.
It’s pretty simple don’t overthink it and don’t get your hopes up. Have a simple straightforward profile and good pics. Tinder was viable when it was newer but now a lot of people just use it to waste time. I usually just do an introduction and then just ask to meetup for drinks or something simple. Saves you from the time wasters and you can see if they are viable for a relationship without wasting all kinds of time talking and texting on the phone.
Woman here, was on tinder for about 2 years on and off... a straightforward profile with something interesting on it is best. Too straightforward is boring. I also got too many men asking me for drinks without much or conversation. I literally could not meet that many people. So, I actually would not take that approach. Plus I need to verify you’re not crazy first before agreeing to meet. I tried the meet right away thing for a while, but I kept meeting psycho men, whereas normal/respectful guys understood that they needed to hold a conversation for a bit (and not anything too ridiculous - I mean even a day of chatting is fine, so long as I got a sense of who you are.)
I totally hear you and can agree with your opinion but tinder has changed a lot over the years. From a male perspective there are soooo many women that are not sincere at all, so while we may miss out on a few more conservative good women, it helps dodge the 20-30 that just want a penpal or not really serious. I’m sure you run into your fair share of flakes as a woman too. The other thing is tinder is so superficial on both sides that I just rather meet quickly and decide if we’re compatible right off the bat then burn up a time texting or calling just to find out it’s a no go on the first date 😂. But nothing wrong with your approach and it wouldn’t deter someone like me as long as you just make it known that’s how you operate on tinder.
I put a boost onto my profile on thursdays and Wednesday evenings. Easily get a few matches and u are set for Friday’s ( not always , but still works ) 😛

First tinder engineer I’ve seen on blind. Do you know how many online threads are dedicated to analyzing your matching algorithm? Lolz
Lol ya there aren't many of us on here. I actually left tinder and will join a different company here so there will be even less. Ya I've heard of that lol, it's amusing
Put decent pics..(shirtless or gym are kinda turn offs for a girl)...a decent honest brief intro abf urself..if u match..send a msg talkin abt something from there profile..and if u go ahead n meet..wear a nice cologne ..dress nice and behave well...end of the day..u are meeting and talkin to a girl..not any sex object..respect them and rest would follow if it has to...good luck bro
Using Tinder effectively can definitely be a challenge! One issue I’ve found is that you’re realistically only going to want to go on three or four Tinder dates a week (any more is just too exhausting) so be selective to whom you send messages to, I’d recommend only message at maximum a half-dozen of your matches each day. The messages should have a bit of effort put into them and reflect something about the woman (her bio, pictures, or even her name). If she puts any sort of effort into her response use the opportunity to drive towards meeting up. If you’re looking to hook up I recommend being flirty off the bat, that way you can easily filter out woman who are looking for a substantial relationship.

There’s a fairly large amount of tech crowd in here as compared to /r/tinder. That makes it even harder to most of us. So was curious to know how people in technology approach this.
