[Jason's Ultimatum]

I don't know if it has to do with the last three updates or so, but the bots are outnumbering the real profiles. 90% of the profiles are fake ones from NYC, and the fake profiles add a bit of info leading you they're real.

I live in Tampa, FL btw.

Anyone else notice this? My age group is 25-33.

 

[always crazy bacon]

It's you.

 

[grap3fruitman]

It's you.

 

[The Jackdog]

have you tried lowering the difficulty setting?

 

[Transistor]

It's not just you

Or maybe it is

 

[capitalCORN]

Put videogames as an interest.

 

[otapnam]

It's not you, it's me

 

[marrec]

Stop swiping right on everyone and be more discerning?

 

[Inferno313]

I met my fiancé on Tinder. Also in Tampa, FL.

Spoiler

We should hang!

 

[Hickbilly Deluxe]

A dating/hookup app filled with fake profiles designed to lure you to sketchy pay sites and porn...

Are you new to the internet? Because welcome to 2002.

Spoiler

All of them are getting worse and the owners give 0 shits.

 

[Trevelyon]

Notice this too. I'm in a smallish town, with pretty small dating pool, so the fakes are easy to spot. Uninstalled it a while back.

 

[Vicetrailia]

Bumble is the best dating app. Higher quality people, 3 date booty calls.

I don't mind hanging.

But yes, maybe it is me.

 

[Bulby]

Definitely past its peak...ah those were the days...

 

[Laieon]

Not fiance yet, but I've been dating my girlfriend for almost two years now, also met on Tinder.

Not sure if it's getting worse though since I haven't used it since.

venmo me $5 and see what happens

 

[Banjotanooki]

Been getting 0 matches since coming back to the states.

Back in Japan, I got a match almost every day but that was mostly because most girls weren't interested in dating but learning English, lol.

 

[Auctopus]

Way past it's day. I don't think the Devs even care, the app is overrun with bots and the algorithm to not matching people who liked each other in order to make the user come back to app just backfired on them.

 

[Reptars Revenge]

Tampa partayyyyy. Yeah there have been a lot of bots. Jump on bumble.

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

Jason, I thought you had a girlfriend?

Bumble is the best dating app. Higher quality people, 3 date booty calls.

You convinced me. Time to download.

 

[Snowman Prophet of Doom]

It's prob regional, but Tinder is FILTHY with bots where I am at the moment. And, unlike previously, they've trawled through Tinder to steal profile text from real people, which can make discerning bots from real people annoying.

 

[shadowsdarknes]

I'm in Tampa, too.

I notice some bots. But I find most people on it seem to be pretty hideous looking.

 

[Ray Wonder]

Seems perfectly fine to me lol

 

[xXCrazyCostaXX]

Tampa?! Let's go to Lowry Parcade people!

I've also noticed a ton of bots lately

 

[Strangelove77]

Maybe you're just too good for Tinder now.

Think about it.

 

[Shanlei91]

I've noticed less bots in NYC compared to when I first used it. (Safe to say all the bots went to Florida?)

 

[Beefy]

Only annoying thing about Tinder is the amount of girls that use that shit dog filter

 

[Lee]

Jason, I thought you had a girlfriend?

 

[Saganator]

Pretty sure if you're a dude you need to be beautiful to use Bumble. I'm a decent looking guy but I got literally zero matches on Bumble. That was over a year ago, so maybe it's gotten better with more people, doubt it though.

 

[Shanlei91]

Only annoying thing about Tinder is the amount of girls that us that shit dog filter

Why do so many of them think that's attractive?!

 

[phanphare]

I'm in charlotte and yeah, there are way more fake profiles nowadays

also way more profile pictures with those snap chat filters

 

[Ray Wonder]

Why do so many of them think that's attractive?!

It slims your face

 

[Vermillion]

Stop swiping right on everyone and be more discerning?

That is the exact opposite of the advice I give people ever since reading the article about the most successful people on Tinder lol

 

[Jason's Ultimatum]

Hell no I don't. The longest I've held on to a woman is like 5 weeks.

But yes, Bumble is LEGIT.

And way too many Tampa brothers here. Let's hang in downtown St Pete or SOHO!

Word, some of them even have it on all their pictures.

Ya but if you want to avoid bots that what you gotta do right? Inevitably you'll hit bots by doing this.

 

[Shanlei91]

It slims your face

Isn't there a filter that does that plus adds a contour, all without hiding your nose?

 

[Inferno313]

lmao. Sounds like a Tampa-GAF meetup is in order. Who wants to plan it?

 

[xXCrazyCostaXX]

Still stand by Lowry Parcade
Lived in SOHO for awhile. Fuck Macdinton's but Yard of Ale is pretty dope

 

[Ray Wonder]

Yeah, that one's more obviously just trying to slim your face though. Instead of having a lil doggy filter face.

STD=South Tampa Douchebags.

I was at MacDintons Friday night for First Friday/Cinco de Drinko, and holy shitsnacks was it packed.

It's always packed and it always sucks. That's why I started branching out to other places.

 

[BlueTsunami]

Just get the inevitable over with and cyber with all the willing bots

Yeah, MacDintons sucks. I went to UT, and that was the place of choice for all the rich brats that went there. Everytime I got dragged there, I'd inevitably end up finding a few folks to ditch the group and bounce over to Yard of Ale.

 

[tearsintherain]

what are the point of bots on tinder, like do they try asking you for money or something?

i also saw dog filter and i assume that means it changes the face to have dog nose and stuff but at first i thought there was a filter that added a dog to your own pictures, and then i realized that would be the most awesome filter ever

 

[xXCrazyCostaXX]

lmao. Sounds like a Tampa-GAF meetup is in order. Who wants to plan it?

I'd be down. Why the hell not

 

[Sunster]

I'm in for St. Pete hangout

they try to get you to sign up for scam sites to take your money

I've got a Switch I could bring too, happy to kick everyone's ass in Mario Kart. ;P

Lost out there "learning English" was just the cover story.
