Hookup site
July 21, 2017

Guys pretty much brag about how many hookups they have gotten. Kind of sad really. Yes it's part of these sites but to outright brag about it. Pretty tactless. No thank you. And people just passing thru the area looking to hookup or even cheat on their spousea.

People
September 20, 2020

This site is filled with inattentive men. They have no motivation to meet anyone for a host of personal reasons. I think society needs to get back to the natural order of things... go out and intermingle. One man talked about trying to meet someone & then he vanished. Another guy lost interest when (i guess) i wasn't mentioning a hookup. Another man said he was moving to another city. Why then, is he making himself available here? I unmatched all of them.
* I think a meetup should be required of every member every 3 months, otherwise the account is terminated without refund. This can be verified from other members indicating that the meetup occurred.

As a developer who frequently works with dating sites and apps I have to commend Tinder for creating a mini-revolution. Everyone uses it nowadays, and that's an achivement, so there's that. However, as with all thing online dating, the app is plagued by the same age-old problem - fake profiles. So don't count on Tinder to help you find a proper partner. The actual selections will not be that different (but more limited) than in a local pub down the road.

What were you expecting...?
It wont be on tinder... they make up most of it as they go along.

Pretty easy game for them.

Im giving this 4/5 but if it hadnt been for a date I set up at the weekend then it would be lower. Personally I like tinder but there are other good options (wejustfit gets a lot of good reviews) so you dont have to always stick with tinder just because its the most famous site.

Aggravating
June 22, 2016

They need to not mandate a Facebook account. I constantly have problems with FB & this means I can't communicate with my matches on Tinder. I don't even use FB because of its issues & hacks. Now people think I'm blowing them off because I can't get back into FB which means the matches are left without knowing I'm not neglecting our conversation. There has to be another way

Dont get why people complain about this site. Sure, it's not as good as some of the lesser known sites like WeJustFit or Match but still, it can get you results if you play things patiently and dont expect to find the woman of your dreams in five minutes. Sure theyre a big company with big advertising budgets but you still have to make an effort. I mean come on, guys, love takes time! In my experience and ive been dating online for a long time now, you get what you put in.

Sad site
November 13, 2016

It's really sad that this site is full of scammers portraying men in the military as well as civilians. Conversation starts out nice but beware ladies they talk a good game and then real you in to ask you for money. World has become a very sad world to have these people preyes on others.

Tinder in SE Asia is full of scammers and fake profiles which Tinder do not seem to be proactive in reducing or deleting... or better still preventing setting up accounts in the first place! Europe Tinder was fine and I had successful dates and made new friends. Here in SE Asia it s nightmare to be honest, fake after fake profile of supposedly CEO who cannot even spell! I have tried reporting pages but honestly Tinder are not taking this seriously. I would not recommend use in SEA.

7/10
August 8, 2016

Better than avarage online dating sites. It has a bit of work to do before it is on the same level as the very top sites that are out there (see wejustfit.com) but its still a good option IMO. If you take your time and give it a real shot (unlike some of the people that leave reviews here) then im 90% sure you can get some action on this site.

Sign up can be as simple as linking to your Facebook profile or as complicated as hand-entering all your info (which can be quickly tedious on a touchscreen keyboard)... from there it's just swiping pictures left or right depending on whether or not your find someone's pictures attractive.

That's it.

If you both liked each other, you can switch over to messaging and creating "moments" via whatever camera your device has. Since pretty much every touchscreen phone or tablet has one nowadays, you'll be off to the meat market in no time.

It is to be expected from all dating sites that there would be an occasional fake but this is ridiculous! And to add insult to injury they don't know how to write. Responses are so stupid. I have had fun with a few of them. It is very very sad that a dating site would choose to fool someone who is looking for love. Very sad indeed.

Tinder holds back
July 11, 2023

Tinder gives 12 persons which are blurry...to see them you have you pay...I did for a week...after that...never again blurry persons...
But something else...I am quit an interesting person I hear and believe...but my profile is hardly shown at the other sexe...
Why do I believe that...I get advertised by...pay for this and pay for that and you will be profiled as a primary person...

You have to pay extra otherwise no goal...
Several comercial advertising to buy more and more...

Engaged!
April 24, 2017

James and I, met through tinder two years ago. We wanted to thank the app, as we are very happily engaged and getting married this summer! Without tinder we wouldn't have found each other as we were both living in different parts of the u. K. so thank you very much! I really recommend this site. Here's some advice though - don't ever give up. It took me about 30 dates until I found the best man for me! Thanks tinder xxx

Tinder is a scam
May 27, 2022

Apart from allowing thousands of fake profiles, any likes you might get, they are moved further down so you never get a mach unless you pay. Had 30+ likes but never managed to get to them until i paid

Tinder was fine at first but quick you went down hill. For one you're locked into a membership basically. If you don't download their app then you don't get to enjoy the qualities. Also, for what ever reason I was completely banned. I had only made a total of 2 matches being on the app with in a few hours. They banned me out of no where and didn't tell me why other than I violated the guidelines. Which I did not. Bumble is a much better app and much better choices. I'm not happy with tinder and wouldn't want anyways.

Horrible customer service. Banned a respected business professional but allows inmates to stay on. Wouldn't give a reason. Refused. If I'm being banned, or if I did something wrong. Tell me. Be specific. I didn't even do anything except create the account and used pics I have on Facebook! Absolutely rude and ridiculous.

Maybe when things opened up after the pandemic ended Tinder lost alot of profiles, so they decided to put in fake profiles. I do not know but literally even if a photo shows as verified, it can still be a fake. Its exhausting, I've had what seem like normal chats, then even a phone call and it still turns out to be a catfish or fake. They need to work on this.
