I use Tinder and have met a ton of really amazing people through it, including a girl who is now my best friend's long term girl friend. I don't use it to date though purely because if I venture into that realm, the temptation to play it like a game is too high.
However, if you want to know how to Tinder, it's simpler than this is making it:
1. Choose pictures where you look good. Simple as that, don't overthink it - whatever "looks good" means to you is probably right. If not, ask your friend of opposite sex.
2. Write something funny in your description that leads the other person to have something to say to you.
3. Don't be shy - message people you find interesting with what you find interesting about them. If you don't find anything interesting about them and have nothing to say, don't send anything! If what you find interesting about them is they're attractive, that counts as finding nothing interesting about them.
4. Ask them out with your friends. The goal should be to include new people in your life, and the best way to do that is to say "my friends are going out to x place tonight, would you like to join us? It'll be x number of us, bring your friends if you want".
#4 is why Grouper is so fantastic btw.
- carlob 13y agoRight whatever you want, but if you can't spell I'll never date you. ;)
- tomasien 13y agoI don't know why people are downvoting this, I like it! Fixed (for anyone wondering, I spelled "write" "right")
- jamesaguilar 13y agoThe guidelines suggest to avoid Reddit-like jokes and cleverness (or at least they did at one time -- I can no longer find that admonition).
- carlob 13y agoHey I wasn't trying to be funny! I was just trying to be a grammar nazi. I'm pretty sure that being overly pedantic has always been allowed.
- jamesaguilar 13y agoAck. Just speculating as to why people might be downvoting.
- havaze 13y agoI don't get this, you're supposed to decide whether you like somebody or not with _only_ one picture while writing unique descriptions that could give you some insights to his or her personality is actively discouraged? I mean sure, this would work great for one night stands, but I think bars with drunk people are superior in this aspect.
- jamesaguilar 13y agoThe guidelines for HN. Not the guidelines for Tinder.
- havaze 13y agoAh never mind, 2 AM seems to be to late for my brain today.
