“Useless Nigerians”

Jerry J.
12/11/23

30% of the profiles are Nigerians and they won't kick their useless profiles on there, they just leave them to trap people and scam information steal Google cards steal your banking information. Nigerians are useless I don't know why Tinder allows them to make accounts from Nigeria pretending to be American and everybody else in the world! If one of those little useless bastards tries to get you off of there onto Telegraph WhatsApp or SnapChat guarantee you it's 100% useless Nigerians!

Top Critical Review

“Stuck up”

Kurt W.
2/2/24

Most women on there no matter what you send as first message don't respond. Either there are many fake accounts or most of the women are so stuck up they judge you off of a message. Without even finding out more about you. I have had a couple women be open and turned out to be a great time. But compared to Facebook dating app tinder replies are 1/5. Facebook matches almost always result into some conversation.

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.

The main advantage of tinder is that it's widely used. It's good that apps like these exist, but they need to cater better to women. The paying versions only help make you more prominent and increase your changes of being liked. But there is actually research to prove what most users already know - female users don't have a hard time getting liked, we have a hard time finding male profiles we like. There is absolutely no way to filter for anything, even language! In most cities the app is full of pictures of physically attractive, weird-looking men. Women almost always need more than looks to go on, for our safety apart from anything else. Until this problem is fixed a lot of women are likely to stop bothering with tinder even as it is and there is no way most of us will bother paying given that currently the paying options don't offer us anything.

The app is ok, but beware of the fact that there are users that use this app to possibly lure others for their own benefits. I received similar messages from different users.

From all the adverts and testimonials you'd think I would have no problem finding my other half on Tinder but ive had more dates on wejustfit.com believe it or not and ive never seen that website on TV! Just shows you eh?! Still, Tinder is trustworthy and CLEARLY works for some people, that's obvious. But so far it's not won me over, sniff sniff. I'll keep trying, like my mother always says, never give up!

The story from this site. I met a girl. I liked everything, although I behaved quite strangely. And then they send a notification that you need to pay to continue the correspondence. I paid, I write to her further, and it turns out that it was a bot. I do not advise you to use it! But I recently found a better site. All real people, and you don't even have to pay.

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!

Tinder get three stars (or hearts lol) from me. Not good enough for me to give up my WeJustFit.com subscription but still worth checking out if you havent yet.

Why not call it "Hell's Soothing Flame"? The word tender means showing gentleness and concern or sympathy, yet they decided to go with Tinder.

I prefer to associate dating with tenderness, as opposed to seeing myself as an insignificant kindling sacrifice to be torched out of existence.

Tinder is a pre funeral party, the place millennials go to die. I've heard rumblings there is an underground community within the community, where impure women do unspeakable things with animals. Apparently, the code is something like "Swipes right for dogs", or "I only swiped right for your dog". Do what you want with that information.

Look, to each their own. But this app ain't for me.

How to win Tinder:

If you are male: Think of Tinder as a game like Contra or Dark Souls. Yes it's hard, but if you take the time to learn the game, you can win. Follow these pro-tips:

- Before you do anything, take a good look at yourself. What are your best qualities? How can you improve yourself? Would you DO you? My point is, you are selling yourself, so put your best foot forward.

- Post good photos! Have a friend take pics of you doing fun activities that cater to the girl you are looking for. Want a fit girl? Post pics of yourself in the gym, for example. Failing that, post a pic of yourself with a guitar, even if you can't play one. Trust me on this one.

-Also, learn how to play guitar.

-Do something unique in your profile! Post a funny joke, or a funny acronym, or a pic of yourself doing something that nobody else is doing like skydiving. Remember that you are competing with thousands of other guys for a small handful of women. Be competitive!

-Learn how to talk to women! Just telling a girl "hey" isn't going to win her over. Convey yourself as interesting, funny, sweet, and more importantly, positive. Don't drone about how horrible things are in your life. Talk about how awesome your job is, share funny stories, or talk about the new guitar you just bought because some cool stranger told you to learn guitar (wink, wink).

-Buy Tinder Platinum! Just a month. Make sure you manage your payment options so they don't charge you for multiple months. I'll tell you why in a second.

-Hide your age and distance. Girls are going to pick apart every detail, and what they don't know won't hurt you.

-Be wary of the countless fake, dead, or scam accounts on the site. I added a pic of a "woman" who obviously photoshopped a pic "she" stole from an image search. Also be on the lookout for profiles that are vague, have poor English ("Ask me what i do"), or use pics that were clearly stolen off of some chick's social media.

-Here's why you buy Platinum. Smash that like button like a caveman! Then after that, change your location to London or something, and smash dislike for twice as long as you did the like button. You have to beat the algorithm here, otherwise your profile will sink to the bottom of the "deck" and the likes will stop.

-Don't give up!

If you are female: Exist.

Tip for consumers:
Like any company, their goal is to make money. They don't really care if you find love. The best women I've ever met were coworkers and friends of friends. Online dating is a scam. Good luck.

I live in a Extremist country where the ysage of tinder is minimal. Therefore it is hard to get the match. Although some people use it but majority is of girls.

Up until recently i'd been arranging all my dates through WeJustFit.com but I finally gave in and tried the tinder app. It's everywhere, from hollywood movies to subway posters so its not like any single online daters can really avoid it. I had been using the cell phone version of we just fit and for all the talk about tinder I cant really see why its any better (for NYC a least). OK tinder is more quick, aint no doubting that! But im not sure that's really what im looking for from internet dating. I like to take my time reading profiles and go online when I want not when the app tells me to. Online dating is serious for me, it's not about speed, so ill be sticking with WeJustFit I think.

Tinder really aint so bad you know. Ive tried better (wejustfit.com or Cupid) but ive tried far, far worse chaps. Dont panic if you aint getting anywhere, just takes a bit of wheelin n dealin with sum of these birds. Be polite and show a tad respect n you might get somewhere, innit.

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.

Obviously I am not the type of guy that gets swiped-right in Tinder. Have used it for a few weeks and can't really get comfortable with it. The idea is awesome though and after I've read so many bad stories about dating scams I was pleasently surprised. Still prefer dating site which are a little less superficial like Mingle2day or eHarmony. But for younger folks Tinder sees to be pretty awesome.

Seems Forest was right above everything, even net dating sites. You arrive at this site and everything looks as it should, nice and professional. But once your in it takes ages to get any replies unless you're banging out intro messages non stop witch I aint got time to do. Ill stick with wejustfit.com thanks.

Tinder is an easy-to-use-dating-app. The free version has good amont of features. However, I don't like thae fact that it connects through FB and even displays some information from FB, such as education.

I prefer old-school-dating-sites like Mingle2Day, Match and Cupid because I don't feel comfortable with Tinder displaying some of my FB details but overall experience was nice.

Heres the thing, Im not much into dating. I only really downloaded this app as a joke but quickly began enjoying myself. As a stupid app that you can use to pass the time and talk to random people online it works great. You both need to agree to talk to each other, through the surprisingly effective voting system, this means in most cases you can avoid spam bots (I say most cases because some are bound to slip through the net, especially is you swipe right on every profile). When you start a conversation, assuming you can break the ice, you can have a fairly good conversation with some. The premium version does more than just remove adds, which is something I look for in this sort of thing. Overall the app is good, but...

Yes, there is a bit, there always will be with these sorts of things. While the app is good for passing the time and having fun, when it comes to finding a relationship I would go for a paid alternative. I say this because most people (especially around the age of twenty or younger) are infect only on there as a joke, so it makes it difficult. I wouldnt recommend it for this purpose.

I could probably do a more in-depth analysis, but the thing is most people know this app isnt the best and only use it as a joke so...

Tip for consumers:
Dont use if you are legitiately trying to date

The app is super easy to use but just swiping left to like someone although the thought of just liking and not liking someone by just swiping does add fuel
To the idea that dating is becoming more like our throw away society.

I've been a member of Tinder on and off for a good while now and even met my last GF on the site. I tried it again recently and theres no doubt in my mind that its still up there when it comes to the main online dating agency players. But like a lot of things its got more competition these days wejustfit.com is the site that is working best for me personally ATM for instance - and that makes it some thing of a buyers market. If I had just stuck with Tinder I wouldnt have had the dates ive had on WJF. So its good to try everything and not be scared to mix it up a bit.

Tinder is just a bit meh for me. Prefer some of the fresher sites (wejustfit.com comes to mind) & like to try sites with new people instead of seeing the same faces in my area.
