I use the app on and off. Since school is out, I have spent more time on the app recently, which I assume girls are doing too. More free time and less social stuff going, is probably a good reason to open up and find some friends and fun online.

Anyways I am looking to increase my efficiency.

I discriminate when I swipe, so I am not swiping right if the girl is a below a 7. I tend to get three or four good looking girls a day. I can usually get a conversation going with about half of my matches, and about half of those I can number close. So in sum, about 20 quality matches a week, around 3 numbers close, and about one hook-up every week or so.

I used to do some physique modeling, so I lead with shirtless torso shot (posing in the picture, not a douchey shirtless mirror selfie) . I have good abs, tan, and muscle tone. I feel the lead picture also helps weed out girls looking for potential long term partners (which isn't my goal at the moment). From there I include of few pictures of me having fun with my friends and good looking girls for social proof, as well as a few more solo pictures. In addition, I have a few witty phrases in the bio section.

Main questions:

1. What is generally the most effective opener?

I typically go with one of the following (but still am experimenting to see which is best).

-Direct opener: usually commenting about them being attractive in some form (tends to be hit or miss), but makes building sexual tension easier.
-Funny pick up line: haven't been having too much luck with this one
-Observational: making a comment about something in there profile other than physical attraction. (Hit or miss but building attraction takes longer.)
-Causal: Hey, hello, etc. _____(insert name). low investment ^same results as observational.

As a default, if the girl messages first, I tend to go with the direct opener.

2. Best time to use the app?
-I'm finding that later in the evening on weekdays and Sundays seem to be the best. Any other good times?

3. How to recover?
-When she stops responding, or does not respond to the first message, what is a good way to get her interested again?

The only thing I have come up with is using the moments feature to take pictures of cool things and activities. If they like the moment I will attempt to reopen using some comment about the moment picture.

4. Best time to number close and setting up a meeting?
-I find that typically the sooner the better. I have better success when I number close on the first interaction, usually after an exchange of a handful of message. Likewise setting up the meeting within a week, the sooner the better.

5. Best response time after being matched?
-If I match during the day, typically I wait until the evening to begin the conversation because both me and the girl will not generally be as busy. Other than that, if I match while swiping in the evening then typically I wait 15-30minutes so I give the girl time to respond first and do not come off as needy.

I appreciate any suggestions. Feel free to answer one or many of the questions. Examples are great.

Great questions. I have spent a LOT of time on Tinder. After 20+ lays, I can say I've got a pretty solid system. It's worked for me and my wings.

1) Direct will convert to a lay 5% of the time. Depends how direct you are going. I was going VERY direct
Indirect will convert into a number 60% of the time as long as you get the rest of the messaging after the open right. The number will convert to a date based on your availability to meet when she is free.

2) Best time is 8pm to 11pm for most girls actively using app. Before 8pm, you still run a good chance of converting that conversation into a date. After 11pm, same day booty call is a long shot but can convert to a meet up in the next few days.

3) Liking and commenting on her moment is a great way to spur things up again. Otherwise, wait a week and ask an open-ended question. I am doing testing with moments right now. So far, there is no correlation between a girl liking your moment and responding to a ping message if she did not the first time.

4) Yes first interaction. Number close fast. I aim for date within 36 hours of opening the girl.

5) Message immediately on match. It means she is actively using the app. Girls RARELY message first because they have extreme abundance on Tinder. The immediacy is important because most hot girls will not stay on the app for long. They get tons of creepy messages and get off.

That help?

That helps thanks a lot.

I have been having better results. The latest issue has been logistics with setting up a meeting particularly with girls living further away.

Yeah those seem to good for me too...

When you send a girl a message, and 2 hours later, she replies. Don'y copy text game and wait 2 hours, I would just reply instantly. Try to keep them on the APP and then get the number. Lost a lot of girls that will just fade away if you play the 'same time to respond tennis'

Get them out soon as possible. So annoying when girls like me and then tell they are busy until a few weeks, I just want to shake them and tell them to stop going on Tinder until they are actually free. It can be done when you keep it warm which can be a lot of effort over a space of a few weeks but it can be done. It will flake most likely if you contact her in a few weeks.

The biggest thing you can do for your Tinder game in my experience:
- Over deliver on your pics
- Live in a capital city.
- Pay for Tinder where the Tinder algorithm rewards you with more girls for paying them.
- Most guys don't pay which means more girls for us. £10 per month is nothing if you wanna rack up the numbers.
- Go to Asian countries. I am in Thailand right now and I got like 5 insta bangs in the same day (Tinder straight to hotel) report coming soon...

Moments are very useful. You can ping girls and then message them when they like your stuff. Also, if you have 2 profile pics that you can't decide on, you can post up both of those pics on your moments and which ever receives the most likes, use that. Let the girls decide which pics is best to use.

Sweet thanks from the advice. I able to get quite a few numbers lately, usually when I go for the number close in the first interaction after a handful of messages. The longer I wait, the more chances seem to go down.

My issue has been setting up a meeting with some of matches. I live in a large metropolitan area. The city and suburbs are pretty spread out, so some of my matches are half-hour to hour away. Like you mentioned some women will be on the app though they are busy so it is hard to set up a meeting if they live far away. Often they well try to hold off until the weekend of very specific times, which more often than not I am busy with friends, family, or another girl. Any particular advice for getting them over on a random week night?

Also:

Is it really worth it to pay the extra $10, I presume it allows you to swipe more liberally and gets you more matches..?
