90 percent of the profiles are fake. Be warned. Nigerian who claim to live in the same city. Tinder does nothing to monitor this activity. I called several people and they all had international numbers.

Well, Tinder will allow whores to conduct business through their web site. If you are bi or poly... you get kicked off. Very discriminating! Everybody there works for a hospital or university and they all have bastard children. Almost every profile begins with, my son/daughter is my world... so if you can't handle that swipe left. All fake people kissing each other's asses in unison. Pucker up if your going to join.

Net-a-porter.com is great possibility for person to show her/his individuality through the clothes. You can always find a unique piece of garment there, which can't be found in anyone in your local place of habit. Isn't it marvellous? Fast delivery is working at its best!

Absolute $#*!
May 1, 2023

Tinder definitely targets/flags women and queer folks + highly favors cis-het men (no surprise.) Be prepared to come across endless fake profiles and perhaps being banned for absolutely no reason. Customer service is garbage too

Uneditable Profile
May 10, 2020

If you use windows 10 machine, Tinder cannot add any information or text to your profile beyond photo and age. After many, many communications with them, I get the same outdated email (literally 10 times, then I stopped). When I do note I have windows 10, even auto responses stop because the company knows about their flaw. This is a horrible way to steal money collected for promised service denied.

They are aware of this criminal behavior, yet wont stop.

https://tinder.com/app/profile for verification.

After five years I have discovered two very important issues. Women are not declaring their sexual preferences. Many appear to be under the influence of alcohol or drugs thus revealing that they have axes to grind due to previous relationship experiences.

My newly turned 17 year old, able to just change his birthdate, find an older young person after being told it's "a easy way to get laid!" I'm at fault as a mother, but now I have a twenty year old, sexual confused young lady living w me after an abusive family life finds her on our doorstep Easter night w no where to go! I hope she's not Cat fishing my son but after only a few visits, and lots of phone conversations who knows! After giving her three weeks to come up w plan, I fear my son will be gone w her! Tinder is known for their easy hook up site! My son was encouraged to use the site from other kids at his college for easy pick ups. And yes a 17 year old is still a kid.

RIP Tinder
August 6, 2022

Between 2012-2016... Tinder was once fun to use and I apologize to those that never got the chance to use during those golden years.

It's obviously become a pay-to-play app and the creators did something weird w/ the algorithm that keeps women from seeing your profile unless you're a paid subscriber (a lot of money, I might add which I'm not dumb enough to give out).

So for free users... you could be a spitting image of a young Paul Newman w/ professionally-shot portraits & you're still unlikely to get more than 7 right swipes within one week. Just stick to the real world to meet women, handsome fellas!

Maybe I was swiping too fast or account was flagged fake (all pictures real, bio nice, messages too). I first noticed stagnating likes (shadow banned), then "account under review" in the morning, banned 1 hour later. Customer support doesn't respond. Guys, if you think why you see many pictures of cats and horses on Tinder…stop reporting accounts from real women

Don't waste your money!
September 22, 2017

I thought I'd give it a try.The reviews didn't seem *that* bad. What a total waste of time and money. People from all over the country pop up on your phone, thousands of miles away. Tinder doesn't don't say where they're from. You swipe right or left depending on whether you like the way they look, but you have no way to contact them, ask questions, see where they live, communicate in any way. It's a scam as far as I'm concerned. They take your money, you get nothing in return, just photos to look at, then swipe one way or the other. The 5-star reviews you read here are probably planted and paid for by Tinder operatives. It sucks.

Tinder arbitrarily banned me. I did and said nothing that might even have remotely violated their terms of service. They had me go through a verification check to make sure I was human, which was followed by the ban. Their verification is absurd. It doesn't work and clearly their staff consists of imbeciles. Arbitrarily banning people appears to be the norm. Close down this criminal activity. In fact, they should be deleting any and all personal informal when they ban an account, but appear to retain it. Maybe it's time for a law suit, maybe a class action, against Match Group.

Just figured out that since joining Tinder im not on no less than four dating sites lol! Desperate Tinder?! Lol! Still its keeping me busy, met some really nice people (a couple of weirdos too but that's to be expected lol). Ive still not found anything as good as WeJustFit.com but a few do come close, including this one, so i'll keep plugging away I suppose until I'm swept away lol!

I found my last gf on tinder. Great. The only problem was is she never stopped looking for matches. I think this site promotes promiscuity and undermines fidelity in our culture. It's just too easy to meet somebody who will be interested these days. Nobody bothers to try to make a real relationship work anymore. It's just out with the old and in with the new now.

Tinder is fake
August 17, 2022

I've been on tinder 2 weeks with no interest apart from a few that are not in UK. I only paid for one month at half price and have blocked any further payments. So I decided to see how fake the profile's are by spending 15 mins constantly liking every profile with out even looking at who it was and must of liked 250 women and not even one was interested to like back. Don't spend your money on this app it's the biggest fake dating site I've seen and I've been on a few. Thought this was good years ago but it needs to be removed. It's just a scam to get money like most dating sites.

Okay so I just signed up for Tinder Gold which was $100... spoke to two people and got banned. Their customer service just restates what the app says that my account was banned due to " violation of terms of use". They also state they take this very seriously by apparently not their customer service. Not sure if my account was hacked or someone reported me and they are taking their word instead of reviewing my account activity. Either way I am shut out with no apparent refund process. I am not sure how companies like this are allowed to stay in business. I will call my credit card company to reverse the transaction. Horrible company don't make this mistake.

This business should be shut down. Anyone can scroll through any review site and see what they've been doing to people for years. Steal your money and lock your account and then sell your data. They can make up any reason they want for banning you because there is no way to fight it, and they know this. You can't contact them. They can easily deny your refund t making up lies about the ban. They are crooks. Also filled with fake scammer profiles trying to get your info and steal from you and crypto nonsense. Yes, this is first hand experience. This is a disgusting company. Never ever get on their app.

My profile was very vanilla; but, sufficient to find women mutually matching. Next step is to send a message to make the connection. Problem is that not a single "generic" message was ever delivered. I received the Ron Paul treatment. I even tried paying for the Tinder Gold only to find no difference. Got tired of trying to get a customer response from the Tinder operators. As an average guy, the chances of meeting an average woman via Tinder seems dismal. In my case, it was impossible since all my attempts to message/contact were blocked. Would be nice if Tinder would at least say why each of my simple messages was refused delivery!

Purchased 6 months gold subscription and two days later tinder banned my profile without giving any reason. Tinder is a fraudulent app with zero customer service. They just take your money and do not reply to any of your queries. Another thing which I noticed is that 90 % of profiles on tinder are of prostitutes who directly ask money for meeting. Tinder is not a dating site but a paid escort site. Guys, avoid tinder at all costs. You wont get any match or hook-up but instead you will end up spending hundreds of dollars with zero outcome.

Waste of time
February 12, 2022

For the men out there I suggest you don't waste your time unless you have nothing better to do. This site is absolutely worthless when it comes to results. I've probably tried contacting 500 women and only received two responses which of course at that moment would cost money to reply and I'm talking about five dollars for every message you send. They give you women to chose from but I guarantee that 90% are bots. Don't waste your time!
