Tinder : Never let your lack of matches determine your self worth.

Tinder : Never let your lack of matches determine your self worth.

I was feeling lonely and decided to get back into Tinder around 3 weeks ago, hoping I could find someone to connect to. I consider myself a moderately attractive person. Not like a head-turner, but not ugly either, and I have very high self-esteem.

After 3 weeks I had a grand total of 20 people who swiped right on me. Not matches, just right swipes from the little counter. From that I had about 8 matches, and from those I had 0 conversations lead to anything but ghosting from their end. It was making me feel pretty shitty, and watching my girl friends use tinder and get 1000000 matches a day made me feel even worse.

But considering the almost 80 20 split of men to women on dating apps, I decided to run a little experiment. I changed absolutely nothing about my profile, but I added guys to the dating pool.

Literally within 12 hours, the like counter had maxed out.

Never let your experience on this app make you feel like you aren’t worth it. There are just wayyyyy more guys on here than girls, so the odds are stacked against you.

And it’s not that much better on the girl end.
Watching my girl friends use this, I see that, sure, they get tons of matches, but 90% of them are creeps prepositioning them for sex, or sending them dick pictures. It’s hard for them to find a genuine person, and sometimes the self affirmation isn’t worth all the rape threats and downright horrible people they have to deal with.

The app is fun and results in lots of great relationships, but try not to put too much weight in something that is essentially dating gambling.
