Tinder

My advice? swerve Tinder - Bumble is far better.

I'd generally had a lot more success in securing dates with normal women through Bumble. Case in point - I'm now engaged to my missus whom I met through the app

IMO as a man in his late 20’s hinge and bumble are much better if you actually want to date someone. On Tinder hardly anyone puts effort into their profiles, it’s generally a much younger crowd on there and a lot of people have “follow my Instagram/SnapChat/OnlyFans” in their profiles- that’s all they want from you. Tinder was great when I was in uni but it seems to have fallen off a bit. Or maybe I’m just old now.

Really though whatever app you choose it’s all about the pictures. They’re make or break- unless your bio is “six foot, six figures, six inches” and even then you still want a couple of good photos.

I had a little go on Tinder before I met my wife, started off really picky, only swiping on the 8 or 9 out of 10 birds. Then after a week or so of zero matches, had a few bevvys and swiped right on everyone.

Following morning woke up to a few matches with some absolute creatures and deleted the app, in shame.

Good luck.

This was almost my exact experience with Tinder. Accidentally went out on a couple of dates with girls that only had extreme close up photos of themselves on there. That was when I knew it was time to call it a day.

You've just gotta be smart. I've used the apps on/off for many years - can always spot a blagger.

Before Tinder was around I was on POF, that used to be alright for getting birds on.

I had a date with a girl who’s brother is a famous scouse footballer, I won’t say his name as I don’t want to offend anyone.

She was fit as on her pics, we chatted quite a lot and eventually decided to meet up. She proper Catfished me, it was only afterwards when I looked back at her pics that I realised how well she’d used the angles.

We didn’t go on anymore dates after that. I was extremely shallow in my youth.

Might save a penny or two but surely takes away from the fun and spontaneity (is that a word and I have spelt that right ffs lol) of meeting someone!

Those romantic encounters at The Grafton and Mr Pickwicks come to mind.

Well you’re gonna have to name them now I’m afraid.
