I've been on and off from Tinder, and I've had occasional

you are at a tremendous disadvantage just by being straight male on a dating/hookup app. it's even worse if you're not at least a 7/10.
your best course of action is to
>get the best profile pics you can make
>write a bio that's succinct, probably under 3 sentences
>lower your standards
>be prepared for countless rejections
>be prepared for a lot of boring/painful conversation from girls that are apathetic and expect to put in 0 effort
>be prepared for girls that flake on meeting last second
>be prepared for thousands of spam accounts

it's a numbers' game, most convos die out quickly

Almost every girl these dating apps look like aspiring prostitutes

I met probably my best ex on that app and she messaged me first with a great conversation starter.
We obviously broke up but that doesn't change the fact that you can find one girl on there worth talking to and who wants to talk back. Took me about a month last time

It's because it's not for convos, it's for setting up dates.

>Match with qt
>Wait 12 hours
>If she doesn't message you send her something witty/charming/casual.
>"How does this work? We're dating now, right.."
>"I'm new to this app, what goes on here?"
>"Nice Joy Division shirt!" (Never seen those before...)
>If she responds positively, which she will if she is interested, send 2-3 casual messages.
>"How's your day going?"
>"Good just worked and ate some sushi! hbu?"
>"Nice! I'm doing great, just relaxing now. Just got out of work. What are you looking for on here?"
>"Not too sure, you?"
>"Just looking to meet new people, we should grab some sushi sometime. What's your schedule like?"
>"I work mon-fri! Definitely!"
>"Friday at 8 work? I know this great place, do you know Ching Chongs?"
>"Yeah I haven't been there in forever! I love that place."
>"Awesome! I'll meet you there at 8. What's your number, in case something comes up?"
>"*number*, looking forward to meeting you ;D"

Power swipe til you run out of likes, then speak to every girl you match with. That's what I've been doing and it's led to two dates. One where the girl was nervous and not talkative, the other where the girl was not that talkative but we fucked anyway. Get dates, don't ghost and just be relaxed and roll with whatever happens.

I'm not hot at all (in my opinion) but I've never been rated above a 7 by girls and I'm a hungry skelington.

You gotta go for those 6s instead of the 8s. 6s are kind and can go up to a 7 or an 8 depending on their makeup/your drunkenness.

Don't go for hotness, hot girls are boring and total shit

Look for someone who works in a field you like or does something you have an interest in, do whatever you have to in order to get their attention (super like helps a LOT with this) and when you match with them, bring up said mutual interest and branch out from there.

Make sure you're segway conversations with finesse and don't make one subject too tedious to speak about, after a couple hours find an excuse to speak off of tinder, and continue.

I met a girl I dated for a year by doing this, it was an awesome relationship, and honestly the best I've ever had.,
