Tinder used to be really hot. If you matched, you hooked up right away, banged your brains out, and that was it. Sometimes you'd find a keeper and that was even better. Now it's flooded with LTR types. Also, it's very poorly monitored. About half of the women say "I really don't use this site look me up on another site". Many of them point you to snap chat, or a rip off sugar daddy site. Tinder is OK, but weak management not monitoring content that directs to other sites has really downgraded the value of membership.

Great dating site if you're looking to hook up with someone who lives near you, but the possibility of running into someone after a really bad date is just too high. Love the video introducing the app though.

Over half of the users on Tinder are fake or potentially fake - new users beware of profiles without the check mark. My first time I had 2 guys fawning all over me both went out of country for work within a few days but kept in touch. No meeting no FaceTime no identity at all with reverse image, stories and documents are very elaborate. Do not send racy photos or money no matter how much they beg, they are not who they say they are. I insist they authenticate or FaceTime or I swipe left, if you find one please report.

"Just for sex"
July 27, 2016

I was on tinder for 5 days. Got a good number of matches, and some messages... but the conversations just fades. One guy messages me a very disrespectful message towards women. It is obvious that most people on this site are there for hookups. If you like to potentially transmit a sexual disease... then it's for you. I rather pay for a membership like match or eharmony to find more decent and classy men.

I learned a long time ago not to get your hopes up on online dating sites but if you remain realistic you can avoid disappointment and it makes arranging dates, when they do happen, even more special. Ive had dates on WeJustFit, Tinder, POF, etc. They do happen you just have to put in some work and be patient and positive. In short, this site is worth a try if you keep an open mind.

90% of good looking ladies profiles are scam
March 20, 2023

Tinder is at its bottom. FULL of scammers and fake profiles. Don't even try to start a conversation if there's a professional photo and no profile description. Now of all the others that seem legit you'll spend a lot in likes and boost and you will not hear from any of those. The only profiles answering are the crypto scams. There's plenty of stolen models photos… just do a search around…

Sad days ahead for us
September 26, 2023

I've been using tinder for a while and it is rather comical to say the least. I signed up because it said that I had like 10 likes and in order to see them I had to sign up... so I did... obviously none of the people who liked me were of any interest... so I continued to swipe... never matching and barely even getting any likes in months... so I let the membership expire... and then magically I have 13 likes in 4 days...but I have to sign back up to see them...if you can't tell that tinder and all these apps are not genuine...we are truly heading for some lonely years ahead...my advice...go out and meet some real in a socal atmosphere...I'm done with online dating scams. It's all just business... no one is genuine anymore.

I never make reviews, so read this.

I've been using Tinder for 4+ years. I have literally gotten nothing out of this app. Trust me, I am fit, my hygiene is good and i'm pretty cool. I'm confident as well. This app has been ruining that.

This app favors Women. Don't believe me? Go make an account as a Woman and you'll see how much likes you'll get.

I've probably swiped right on about 3000 Women. No meet ups, no response, no

I've probably spent over $450 in memberships, super likes and boosts. Absolutely nothing. I have 4 likes. Fake profiles or no answer.

Tinder has completely ruined my mental health. Tinder makes me feel like the ugliest person in the world.

I only spoke to scammers on it. I think younger women didn't like me swiping right on them so instead of just swiping left they reported me. The company Match Group is openly fascist and censoring. This is from their terms of service. "Tinder reserves the right to investigate and/or terminate your account without a refund of any purchases if you have misused the Service or behaved in a way that Tinder regards as inappropriate, unlawful, or in violation of the Terms of Use, including actions or communications that occur off the Service but involve users you meet through the Service." so in other words anything they don't like. It's just open censorship from the left. I included emails to and from customer service. They just ignored me rather than reply to the last one asking for any specific details for banning me.

It's a scam!
December 12, 2019

I paid for the tinder site boost or premium package. (Whatever it's called) I tried only swiping right for 2-3 weeks. I have received 5 matches. That just doesn't seem possible. I'm not hideously disfigured & besides a lot of people are, I only swiped right.
Something does NOT add up. I want my money back.
PS the pic I up loaded for credibility is me at my worst, let's just say I just woke up & took it, honestly.

It is now just a scam site
May 21, 2023

Purchased a subscription to see my likes, then to be told oh wait you need this package at 25 a month! They are just at it and are taking people for fools with this type of business practice, every little function you now need to pay for separately, is just a waste of money & time, this company gives you nothing in return, avoid it at all costs, going by the reviews on here it shows how terrible this company has become

Worth the wait
June 21, 2020

Tinder was merely entertainment... didn't take it serious... was just to chat nothing more... then I met the man of my dreams... we have been together for a year and I've never been happier... he's from another state and was working in my city and we just happen to match. Would have never met him without tinder... what a blessing... point is... never know what's out there unless you are open to the possibilities. I'm so grateful

Banned gold account with no explanation.
July 30, 2023

There are plenty of dating sites. Please don't lose your money to tinder and pay for an account. I was banned with no specific explanation. I cannot think of a single thing I did wrong to violate the terms of service or community standards. They took my money for a week's subscription, and I got an unexplained ban after three days with no refund, because I "violated the terms of service" which are extremely broad. I followed the appeal process to only get an automated response telling me to refer to the terms of service. Please don't lose your money to this app. After much digging, there are a lot of people on the internet complaining about getting banned for "no apparent reason." There are much better places to put your money.

Biggest and worthless
April 23, 2023

The biggest and perhaps the worthless app! I lost almost a year on Tinder. I'm pretty sure that most profiles on Tinder are either fake or outdated. They never get deleted. Especially the attractive ones. Others are "ladies of the manor" with ridiculously picky requirements. They look down on men in search for their knight in armour. Not for the men with certain degree of self-respect.

After subscribing for a months service I tried to log in and was asked if I was a robot, 3 times it had me identify a bee in pictures then it banned me for life and told me I wouldn't be refunded.
I am currently disputing the charges through my bank since I didn't violate any policy, and it's the only way to do so.
Complete crap scam

I opened an account last night. This morning somebody didn't like what I said in my profile and report it. And Tinder asked me to copy a couple of pictures and send it to them which I did but took my account off and said it is under review. The notification I got said it would only take a few minutes and it has been over six hours. It appears that tinder is participating in censorship and banning free speech. What I said in my profile "if you got the shot swipe left and that Trump is great. I would be much more upset if I had actually paid for the service. But thankfully I was giving it a free shot. I would never pay for the service because they could take your profile down for who knows how long without rhyme or reason.

Constant issues with loading photos, it crashes almost every time it's used for more then 5 minutes. Quite often then whomever you were waiting to see their pictures load, & you think you might really like this one, the whole thing crashes. You send a report they don't even respond to, & worst of it is when you log on again, that potentially special person is gone. No getting them back. You're just screwed... I could ramble on about a couple other minor grievances and annoyances but I'll leave it at that.
