I had a guy message me a lot on Grindr trying to convince me I was too pretty for boy clothes, and if I'd send him pics of me in girl clothes, he'd be more interested in doing me. The funniest part of the whole scenario was this guy's profile said he was straight, and a guy with the exact same picture and profile kept messaging me on OKCupid with the same stuff.

I have no best way to use either of those, since my idea was to just throw myself out there and see how it went. Great place to see a lot of dick if that's what you're into though.

Grindr is pretty perfect for that 'I am going to deeply regret this once I go through with it' hookup. Generally go through cycles of re-installing it, getting a million creeps or really desperate guys messaging me in quick succession and uninstalling.

I finally got onto the Tinder and Bumble train last week. I need to sort out a proper profile at some point - my current one was thrown together for funposting on a whim, and is just a pick of me in shades, with a bio of 'workaholic, alcoholic, weaboo + height'. Still having more success then I thought I would, with a couple prospective dates on the cards.

Bumble has taught me just how bad most women are with opening messages online. Just an endless stream of "Hey" or "Hi :)". Come on fam, put at least the minimal effort into this.

If all they say is Hey or Hi I always assume they're bots...

not to add another element to this, but uh..why are you advertising yourself as an alcoholic ?

Pretty sure it's a joke. And you know, drinking is what you do in Britland, apparently.

I like how you still threw in a casually sexist bit at the end

(do you really think most guys are better at opening lines?)

You get more of the extremes from men (much better opening lines, and far far worse ones). Just a product of how the dating scene tends to work with a tiny fraction of women normally making the first move.

My friend somehow convinced me to try tinder. I think that's the quickest I've ever deleted an app.

I hate automatic sharing when you link things to facebook. It immediately pulled all these pictures of me up from like 5 years ago and added my interests. I know you can change things around but it still felt so invasive and creepy.

If I could salt the earth so that the app would never return, I would.
How do you guys do it? What is your secret?

Is it not possible to set up Tinder outside of Facebook? I hadn't even heard the two were connected.

Apparently they are. I didn't know either.
I guess you could set up a fake facebook profile if you really wanted.

That's just really dumb. It makes me say less inclined to use Tinder than before (and I've been thinking about getting it for a while). :/

I've never tried any of these, but Tinder is the only dating site that people I personally know IRL have had serious success with (I've heard of people having success with Match and OKCupid, but it's always friend-of-a-friend or some random person online kinds of situations). My cousin is getting married to a woman he met on Tinder.

I'd love to try it myself (or any dating website) but I don't have a smart phone and I photograph horribly and no one I know is ever willing or able to work with me to try to get a good pic of me.

I know a few people who met very serious SOs on Tinder (at least two couples I think are very likely to get married).

I sort of want to try Tinder but I'm not sure I'd get anywhere. I have a hard time imagining being into a guy I don't already know, and the way a lot of men present themselves on dating sites (as super macho) is a turn-off for me...
