So does anybody have any stories to tell? All dudes? No woman worth having would be on here or is it like how texting is now considered more normal then actually speaking to a woman personally?

FFA iDating thread... This has been discussed a bunch in there. Tinder is probably the single thing I wish existed before I met my wife.

Hasn't been discussed enough in there imo. In fact, I don't think it has been discussed much at all in there.

Ditto.
On my death bed when my children ask me my life's regrets #1 on the list will be that I never got to use tinder before I met their mother.

I was at a bar about a year and a half ago... 6 friends including myself. 3 married, 3 single...
The married guys were all swiping and playing on the singles guys Tinder. We were like cavemen who just discovered fire.

This. My last 2 times out with friends & without kids we were doing this. It's not fair! Why did I have to get married before this ?

I do wish I had Tinder back in the day, but Yahoo chat served the same purpose. It definitely was more labor intensive, but I was constantly amazed at the sheer number of whores out there. That was about 15 years ago, and since then it's gotten even less stigmatized for chicks to just want to hook up. I imagine Tinder must be like shooting fish in a barrel. So to speak.

Tinder is amazing ASSUMING you look halfway decent AND can produce pictures that portray in fun situations out in a group setting. Do not use anymore than 1 selfie and if you must make sure its not your profile pic.
Found my current girlfriend through Tinder she is a veterinarian, ballerina, and fun as hell to be around.

tinder is great and all but keep in mind that for every 1 match you get, that girl gets ~10 matches. there are a lot more guys on tinder with a lot lower standards, so that girl you just matched with who you're all pumped to talk to has 9 other dudes matching her hitting her up at the same time. she gets to pick and choose which one she wants to give the most attention to. obviously don't just come with "hi 
", but at some point it doesn't matter what you say and she's going to just take the most attractive dude. just manage expectations is all i'm saying. and have a good attention grabbing opener.

when you're talking to these girls on tinder, you want to get their number as quickly as it makes sense. easy way to separate yourself from the pack. don't just ask right off the bat... build rapport pretty quickly and then get the digits.

to answer OP, a buddy of mine met his current gf on there. there are some nice girls for sure... and a lot of the kind of girl that you'd expect to be on there. a lot of girls will put "not down for random hookups" on their profile. a lot of this girls will end up being down for random hookups ("i never do this i swear") but some will be genuinely nice girls looking for a relationship.

had one girl on there ask me to her sorority formal. no joke. i obviously went. i assume most of you would be looking for girls slightly higher in the age range.
eta: if you are looking in that age range and you come across a girl clearly in a sorority (has her letters in her profile, wearing them in her pics, is drinking starbucks in one of her pics, etc) always go with "what's your spirit animal" as your opener. they love that.

you should be able to see multiple pics (they're allowed to post up to like 6) if they have multiple ones up. be wary of girls who only show pics of face, especially pics at an angle or with their face stretched far forward (hiding that double chin). girls are wizards with this stuff, really not even fair with modern technology.Joe T said:
to be honest, i will usually glance at the first pic and decide from there. usually not worth it to look through a ton of pics.. if she likes you back and you match, you can decide if you like her then. if not, just unmatch her.

MySpace angles! Definitely be very wary of chicks that don't show their body. Also, I'm always wary of chicks that have sunglasses on in every pic.
On the main screen, between the heart & X there should be an "i". Click that to see the profile.

now to be fair, in this instance i ended up knowing a mutual friend. one of my best friends from college was dating one of her sisters. we had been talking and once we realized we had the mutual friend, is probably when she decided to ask.

So what are the age ranges of girls on Tinder? Is it mostly under 30? Asking for a friend.

Why would you not trying to match every single girl on there? Sure, avoid the hideous hog beasts but I wouldn't be picky.

Never used Tinder but back in my online dating days what worked was having something interesting to say because most of those other guys respond with "Hi, what's your number?"Peyton Marino said:tinder is great and all but keep in mind that for every 1 match you get, that girl gets ~10 matches. there are a lot more guys on tinder with a lot lower standards, so that girl you just matched with who you're all pumped to talk to has 9 other dudes matching her hitting her up at the same time. she gets to pick and choose which one she wants to give the most attention to. obviously don't just come with "hi

it's really all about your pictures. there are some articles out there that talk about what you want each picture to be (one just of you, one of you doing an activity you like, one with a girl, etc). for my about me i just use a stupid one liner. at one point i noticed a trend of girls putting their go-to chipotle order (literally a list of what they get in their bowl) as their about me so i made my about me "i don't care about your chipotle order". right now i'm rolling with "my life is dope and i do dope ####" in honor of kanye. if you're actually looking to seriously date these girls, maybe you do want to describe yourself a little bit.

I would advise against a pre-canned opening line. I found much more success actually relating to something in their pic or profile. Lets them know I wasn't just using same line every time. Also did some of my best work a couple of beers deep really came naturally even to the girls who showed 0 personality in their likes and pics.Peyton Marino said:tinder is great and all but keep in mind that for every 1 match you get, that girl gets ~10 matches. there are a lot more guys on tinder with a lot lower standards, so that girl you just matched with who you're all pumped to talk to has 9 other dudes matching her hitting her up at the same time. she gets to pick and choose which one she wants to give the most attention to. obviously don't just come with "hi

definitely good to do if she has something to use in her profile. a decent chunk of the girls i've seen don't have anything written or just have dumb stuff like "love hanging with friends and having fun".I would advise against a pre-canned opening line.

I suspect they are using they same info on all of them. Any girl on Tinder likely has a Match, POF or whatever account. Probably rotates between them really.

We've seen your face ...and then so have they. Hence no pudding for you. Respond to the fat girls and hope they aren't too choosy.

Well Christ. 
I think the same type of chick on PoF is on Tinder. Not easier to hook up on Tinder. Also not saying it is hard to hook up on either. Just that the Tinder brand would make you think otherwise.
I have also gone through girls on my single friend's Tinder. Guy was complaining that he wasn't getting any matches and I said how many girls did you like, and he responded about 25. In a month. I'm like dude, you're doing it wrong. You should have liked 200 in your first 10 minutes on the app. So I grabbed his phone and showed him how it's done. I think my girlfriend is a keeper, but if she ever broke up with me I wouldn't even be depressed. I'd be excited about being able to try Tinder.
