Loading...I haven’t done a review of Tinder for ThePornDude because the dating and hookup platform is so popular. It’s exactly what I write about here, I know, but it’s similar to writing a McDonald’s review for a website about restaurants. Since everyone is familiar with the taste of a Chicken McNugget and the fact that there are two drive-through lanes, what else is there to discuss? It took some gentle coaxing from my devoted visitors, which is a little embarrassing, for me to finally publish my official report.
The majority of you, I’m sure, are familiar with Tinder.com; however, in case you’ve been living under a rock or have been ensnared in a bizarre anti-technology, anti-sex cult for the past ten years, it is the most widely used dating app on the planet. Even if you haven’t tried it yourself or been laid on, you probably know people who have gotten some action just by swiping a little. Even if it doesn’t work for everyone, I think it’s still one of the easiest ways for many people to get laid. Let’s examine it more closely, and I’ll tell you why.
Look at all these single women, holy sh*t!
I’ve already said it, and I’ll say it again: Dating is typically a game of numbers. Whether you’re a chubby neckbeard who lives in his mom’s basement with a princess body pillow waifu collecting jizz stains or a fat-pocketed Chad with chiseled abs, you will always have the most luck if you put yourself in the biggest pool of potential partners. If you just sit at home and are unsocial, no one will meet you. However, if you are willing to try and take some Ls along the way, your odds dramatically improve.
When it comes to online dating, one of Tinder’s biggest selling points is that it is literally the largest pool available. There is no other dating app or website with a similar number of users. If you’ve read any of my reviews of similar platforms, you know that I look for user numbers first. Tinder absolutely defies all of their rivals with over 75 million monthly active users. Not even remotely close.
The benefits of such a large user base are obvious: There are a lot of people you could meet as partners. But going to a big party can be difficult, especially if you have particular interests, preferences, needs, or quirks. Tinder, on the other hand, just casts a wide net to catch everyone, whereas many other dating sites offer perks that are tailored to specific demographics. Tinder might not be the right fit for you at all, depending on who you are, where you live, and what you’re looking for. Even if his dick still works, Grandpa may not fare so well here.
Their app, which is available for both Android and iOS, is yet another significant and straightforward selling point. The fact that the app is so accessible and so simple to use is one reason why it has become so popular. There are a lot of dating apps for other sites, but very few of them have spent half as much money on development as Tinder. I joke about it all the time, but it’s one of the easiest hookup apps for anyone, no matter how tech-savvy or literate they are.
So, exactly how does Tinder function?
Tinder.com, like most modern hookup platforms, prevents you from accessing any features until you actually create an account. You can’t look at local girls without giving some basic information about yourself, but signing up is really easy. They are currently accepting registrations via phone numbers, Facebook, or Google. Although it may be a little more demanding than simply using an email address, it is straightforward. However, it reduces fake profiles and scammers, so I’m not complaining.
Additionally, creating an account is simpler than on other platforms. You won’t have to write a thousand words about yourself across multiple pages of questions for your profile; instead, you’ll just upload some pictures and write a brief bio. Within a few minutes, you can be fully set up and ready to rock.
However, I will say that a little bit of effort can go a long way. If you only post photos and leave your bio blank, you better make sure they are amazing selfies. There is no real „right“ way to do things because different people respond to different strategies in different ways. Jokes, sounding smart, and showing off your wealth can all work. These can all hurt you, depending on who you’re after. However, unless you’re just a complete and utter loser with nothing to offer, it’s usually preferable to write something.
It’s time to start swiping once you’ve set up your Tinder.com account. It’s extremely straightforward: If you’re interested in someone, swipe right, and if you’re not, swipe left. It’s like looking through a collection of baseball cards, except you might get laid instead of feeling like a dork as an adult for collecting sports cards.
Don’t just swipe right on every woman you see in the hopes of finding a lot of matches, no matter what you do. Tinder selects its users based on mysterious algorithms and hidden user scores, and excessive swipes can hurt your chances. Because they do not disclose their internal workings, there is still some guesswork involved. Your super-secret score will decrease, putting you at the bottom of the stack—if you are even seen at all—if you are not engaging with at least some of your matches.
If you’ve seen my work at PornDudeCasting, where I bang on some of the most beautiful pornstars in the world, you probably understand why I haven’t been dating much lately. Today, I signed up for some insight into writing this review, and I’ve been swiping through Chicagoland beauties and uggos. I seem to have an endless number of women to judge based on their looks and bios in this big city. Although this is the most widely used dating app, smaller towns won’t have as many, you should still have some.
Really? Can I Send Free Messages to Babes?
The fact that the free version of Tinder actually works and includes all of the basic features is another major selling point. You already know that this is not how it usually works if you’ve tried any of the major competitors or even the minor ones. One of the few platforms where you can communicate with other members even if you don’t have a paid premium account is Tinder. You can talk to someone if you can find a match.
However, they must generate income somewhere. Soon after you start swiping, the app will start asking you for money, promising you more matches if you upgrade your account. I would disclose the prices of their three membership tiers, but they are secret and vary greatly. Do you recall those obscure algorithms I mentioned earlier? Additionally, they determine your payment amount. For instance, men and older users pay more than women and younger users.
The cheapest Tinder Plus plan gives you unlimited Likes, some Super Likes, and a monthly boost. Although Boost elevates you to the top of the stack, making you more visible, I believe the unlimited Likes are more crucial if you live in a big city. The next level of Tinder is gold, which shows you who likes you before you swipe. I’ve used this method to get laid with little effort, just checking every day to see if anyone else finds me attractive.
The most expensive tier of Tinder is Platinum. You can send messages before you even match, and it places you at the top of the list for people you’ve liked. Even though it may slightly improve your odds, I believe it is too much for most users. If the free version doesn’t work for you, I’d recommend Gold for the majority of people.
In the end, everyone’s approach to Tinder.com will be slightly different from the next guy’s, but the process will remain the same. Although some may contend that their popularity is a self-fulfilling prophecy, this does not alter the fundamental facts: It gives you the best odds because it is the most popular dating platform and has an insane number of users. What are you waiting for? It’s huge, simple to use, and totally free.
