I am a (not good looking) man, who dates women, so I'm not sure what you're talking about. I too was once a virgin, I too was once someone with a bad tinder profile. There have been 2 times when I have started Tinder conversations with sex immediately. There have been times when I have been awful at making conversations. There have been times I've received a message and thought "Shit, now I have to respond! How do I respond to that? I need to keep the conversation going... What can I say though????? Ughhh"
As someone who has also struggled, I can tell you the biggest thing (once you've both swiped right, and before you've actually gone on a date) is conversation. Because they've swiped right, they already accepted however you looked in your tinder pics. Now you just need them to actually like the conversation you have with them.
I'm pretty good at conversing in real life, but initially found it weird that I'd struggle to write out a message when there was so much more time to respond. There were even times when I thought to myself "man, if I could just meet up with her in real life this would go so much smoother", and I occasionally even tried (and always failed) to speed up the small talk and get to the dating part. But after a good 2 days, I realized I was treating texting differently than real life conversations because I was giving myself too much time to respond. So I stopped doing that, started treating texting more like real, face to face discussion, and did very well (again, all despite my looks). I'm not a woman telling men "It's easy to date us, you just suck." I'm a man who has been in your shoes, and is telling you how to step up your game (without saying outlandish things like "get plastic surgery" or "completely change your personality").
