Allright so I have a hard time introducing my self to woman becuase, well I dont know why. So I decided that I would get a tinder account, not for anything to serious but just to full around while im in college. Anyway this app fucking sucks and is a bug ridden mess.

First off you have to use your facebook log in which is dumb becuase it says im 36 and shows the interest I choose while I was 10 like 50 cent and can this fat man get more likes then justin beiber. Like shit im sorry I created my facebook when I was 10, but I dont want this dumb shit on my tinder acount. So I had to go into facebook and change all that which was anoying but I can live with that.

Then I get my acoount and for the first day it wouldnt let me upload a fucking photo. I tried everyhting re deleting the app, logging out, and shutting my phone down. Nothing would work and it would just say "try again later trouble uploading". Until one time it just started uploading my photos.

After that and a still going problem I get a message from a girl. Fuck ya this app is working I think. Wrong, I go into my messages and all it says is I have no matches, which I know i do becuase I get notifications for it, or they are loading and it should take a few minutes, then I wait 10 minutes then give up. Like what the fuck, you cant do your one job tinder the one job you had.

Then there is the ammount of microtransactions in this app. I mean I know they make money so I understand the plus thing, but why limit the amount of swipes I have. Like that is just dumb.

Overall this seems like a good app if it would fucking work whihc it never does. Does anyone have problems with it, and if so how did you fix them. Also I'm on a iphone 7plus so my phone isnt out of date.

Use a different app, Tinder is a waste of time anyway.

Sorry OP, never used it so cannot really comment. Why does your FB account say you are 36?

 

[apocalidiot]

Make a new Facebook and log in with that

You get more in 12 hours. Relax haha

 

[Knuckle Sandwich]

Like everyone.

Try other sites like okcupid or plenty of fish. Know people who have had a lot more success with those than tinder.

 

[StayDead]

Fairly certain my Tinder is bugged too. I keep swiping right to everyone, but I've never got a match.

Spoiler

I don't actually use Tinder.

 

[Ephemeris]

btw, I believe it only shows the interests you have in common. So whoever is swiping wouldn't know you like Fiddy unless they do as well.

 

[Spaced Harrier]

I might be having a stroke but I found your OP close to unreadable.

 

[Thewonandonly]

Sorry OP, never used it so cannot really comment. Why does your FB account say you are 36?

Cause I created it when I was ten so I couldnt use my real Bday. I just had to do a random one so now im 36 haha

 

[JCX]

Yeah Tinder runs worse than Grindr, which is impressive given how awful Grindr runs in the first place.

 

[AuthenticM]

yeah, do that, TC.

What happened here is mostly likely you matched with a bot and it got auto deleted by the time you got into the app. It happens all the time.

Also, real women almost never message first on Tinder.

God, why is the Souls series' character creators always the thing of nightmares?

You got a problem with Bushka desroyer of worlds!

 

[Veritigo_X]

Update your Facebook?

Ha, must not be following Step 1 and Step 2

 

[Snuggles]

People will only see your facebook likes if they have also liked the same pages. If any other information is correct, fix it on facebook. Calm down. It's fine.

 

[Thewonandonly]

Update your Facebook?

I did all that it was just kind of annoying that I couldnt create a account from scratch on tinder...

That would not be a good thing for tinder. The bots are bad enough already.

 

[turtle553]

The things you like only matter if they match to the person you are looking at. Then it will show up as a common interest. It's not telling people all your FB likes.

The notification and then no match is from a bot most likely that got banned before you opened the app back up.

Or it was an accidental like and they unmatched you once they realized their mistake.

Yup could be it, there's a lot of bots OP.

Please dont bother with PoF. What a god awful website design. That is the bottom tier of dating websites

Maybe you just need to be more creative with angles and lighting in your photos

Fair enough most my photos just involve a bathroom mirror and a smile

Yeah that's not good. Try and get pics of yourself out doing things.

 

[LookAtMeGo]

Tinder has been by far the most successful out of any of the dating apps I've tried. Been on a ton of dates. Only a few went anywhere fun but still. Seems like everyone wants a relationship these days tho. Its a bummer.

Deleted my POF. That thing is hot garbage. 90% of the girls on there are like probing me for husbando or have 10 kids.

 

[Bowler]

Well I hear missed connections on Craigslist runs pretty good

 

[Thewonandonly]

Yeah that's not good. Try and get pics of yourself out doing things.

Aight for sure is that more of what girls are looking for?

 

[CrimsonSquall]

Show us your pictures and we can critique it to help u out

 

[Operations]

What phone are you using? Tinder runs just fine on iPhone.

 

[LookAtMeGo]

Just want to make it look like you like to do fun things. Unless you are after the introverted, always stay inside type. Which I'm sure are out there plenty. But you would have to be specific thats what you're looking for. But your average match numbers will probaly be lower.

Its like, a few selfies, one cuddling a cute animal, a few doing something fun outside and one thats a bit silly. Seems like the way to go.

Will do all get them on here after class in like 15 minutes

 

[Maoyama]

Really? I have seen a 50/50 mix on who messages first. My last two relationships from Tinder were started by them. My current girlfriend messaged me first, set up and organized the first date. It was awesome to just go somewhere and have the other person take care of figuring shit out.

Also, OP, dont take it too serious. Revel in the stupidity and ridiculousness of online dating. You will meet 100% amazing, beautiful people and absolutely intolerable assholes. Its just part of the fun.

[Galang]

I never had luck on tinder . My friends all seem to have luck on okcupid instead

 

[Maximus.]

Facebook isn't 26 years old dude. You liked all that immature shit when you were like 26 years old, not 10.

 

[Bread]

only use the last picture, girls love a man in makeup.

Tinder is a mess. You have to be super handsome and 9/10 women do not say a word.
