DATING APP GENERAL THREAD How is your dating app game /b/?

Whats that app on the bottom left?

Been using tinder for a couple of weeks now and it is killing my self esteem.
Barely get any matches and when I do, I never get a reply.
Should I try other apps?

Would have never thought any app could work but I found my bf back in February, almost been dating for 3 months now.
Seemed like because neither of us were taking the app serious and we're just looking for friends actually helped. I find it's awkward messaging people with intent of dating.

Only tip I can say is dong use pick up lines, I could never take those people seriously.

Older anon here...

I used OKcupid and POF back in the day before I met my wife and had sex with 1-2 different girls every week for probably a year. Looking back I feel like more of a jack-ass than anything. But it was all consensual.

Never used Tinder.

Online dating is about numbers and A/B testing.

Overall, my advice is, be a gentleman. Honestly, thats all it takes. Don't be a beta cuck, but sending a dick pic in the first three messages is not Alpha.

Always meet at a place familiar to you but out-of-place for her.

Tinder is probably different but OKC and POF, send 3-5 messages back and forth max before asking for her number with an easy transition to text. If she wants to text you she will do it in under three messages. If not, move on.

Text for at least 48 hours before asking her to meet but no more than 72.

Always make it sound like you have plans on Friday and Saturday night. Scoring a date with a girl on Friday/Saturday is nearly impossible. I recommend Thursday. Sunday is good too.

Advanced move (this worked all the time)- Always have two places in mind to meet and always be prepared to "move the date"

For instance (off the top of my head)- Meet at a bar (ALWAYS meet at a bar, even if you don't drink because thats what adults do), spend an hour and a half getting to know each other then propose to move the date somewhere else...

"This has been a ton of fun but I'm not done hanging out with you yet, wanna head somewhere else?"

If she is interested in you, she will say yes. If she isn't, this gives her a perfect out while saving face. "Oh I have homework to do"

If she declines, take whatever excuse she gives you and only text her again if she texts first.

I swear I should write a book.

Also, if you have a dog, take a picture with it as your profile picture. Even OKC did research on this and reply rates increase by more than 20% if you have a dog in your profile picture with you.

If you are even somewhat decent looking and have a cute-ass dog, you actually receive messages.

These are some very good advices, thanks anon.
