How's Tinder these days?

Yeah, it's back to how I remember it. Load it up and you initially get matches but then it starts drying up. I'm convinced they ''hide'' your profile if you don't pay for any of their premium stuff.

Badoo blocked me because of sexual advances lol. Had a lifetime premium account as well. That app is just a money grab and a waste of time. Avaid.

lol what did you do? Did you use that line about your Apple Watch being so slim and waterproof that you don’t need to remove it before her?
 
So, I've been back on it for 5-weeks now.

9 matches. 2 Never responded to my opening message but still remain matched with me and 1 unmatched without responding to my message. Rest (6) of them just stopped responding after a couple of days. Most of my matches were in the first two weeks, so I still lean on the theory that they bury your profile if you don't buy their premium nonsense.

The women I matched with are what I would consider to be attractive, so I don't think looks and my choice of pictures are a problem. I know to avoid obvious bots and swipe in my lane as well. As to why I am getting nowhere with the matches I have made, 3 things come to mind;
  • I have no rizz.
  • These broads are using Tinder to pass time.
  • I have a preference, I only swipe on white woman. This is a very small ''pool'' on Tinder. I can pass on as many as 40 profiles in my matching radius before I see someone I would want to match with. These apps already have way more men than women on them and in a smaller demographic this is amplified. White women will be spoiled for choice and if you don't stand out in your first few messages, you're dead in the water. I'd imagine if I had wider preferences I would have a better success rate converting matches to dates. Would be interesting to know from a gent of colour how he finds Tinder, as sheer demographics would lean to more potential matches.

You seem a bit racist. Why would you need a gent of colour's experience when plenty of white guys are open-minded to dating outside of their own race?

Every match always asks what you're doing on the app so I just had enough and said I'm looking for sex. Then she said she was looking for money and it'll be R5k. After that I was banned. They can shove my lifetime premium membership.

Oh, that's unfortunate. There are other sites for that sort of arrangement though.
