So it seems my Tinder profile is now fucked.

A few months ago I would get around 5 matches a day with normal effort. Now I get about 1 match PER WEEK!
So something has gone wrong here.

No change to my profile in this period of time. Same pics, description, location. So not sure what has happened. Is it because of Tinder Plus I wonder? Does paying for the app mean that those who don't pay suffer? If so, why did my big drop change happen around about Easter time like within a week?

I wonder if I got reported? I told a girl at the start of our 2nd date that I had a fake age on my profile (I've written the correct age on there now). She didn't like it. She may have reported me for 'Bad Offline Behaviour' which may have blacklisted me. I'm not sure if I'm paranoid or not there.

I've tried to change all this through some online researching and forum talkings. Changed my pics, description, location etc. to affect the algorithms so I can bump myself to the 'top of the pile' of profiles for girls to see. But it's had no effect.

I emailed Tinder for help. But they didn't give me a decent answer. "Give it time for people to swipe back" - Nope, that didn't happen. A 2nd email to chase them explaining what I really think is going on resulted in no reply either.

It's got that bad that I'm thinking of deleting my profile, starting a new FB account and a new Tinder profile. But I've read that Tinder doesn't let you delete your profile properly or even start a new one, and it might get deleted.

So I'm at a desparing loss at what to do here. Tinder was my only decent working online dating avenue for getting rid of this singledom curse, and now that is now dead. Pretty much leaves with me with nothing with my present life.

I'm pretty down about it all, as there's just nothing that can be done about all this it seems. The magic solutions didn't work. So I don't know what else will. Another failure.

I would really appreciate some help on this. I'm trying to get my life back on track with this dating death and it all seems futile with Tinder now. Can anyone here help with this problem? I would be terribly grateful if anyone can get me back on track. Any suggestions?

This is really a sad post. This is like going to a bar and complaining to the bouncer that you're not getting as many ONS as you used to at that venue. If you were able to get girls on Tinder then you can get girls somewhere else online or in real life.

Fuxake man, have a bit of respect and decency will ya? I didn't come here to get sarcastic posts dissing me like this. I came here for solutions to Tinder.

If you can't post anything practical to help me about the Tinder app then please don't waste my time and don't post at all. I came here for actual help, not to verbally assaulted like this.

If I were disrespecting you, I'd make it more blunt. I would have made sarcastic comments about you actually having the audacity to contact tinder's support because you weren't getting matches. So quit being sensitive.

Tinder is all about the pictures and if the pictures that used to work aren't working and the new ones don't work, that means your well has run dry and you'll have to wait for a significant amount of women to join in your area. Since you have less options from that app, you should be looking at other sources and maybe even going outside to meet women. If you were getting 5 matches a day, you have the ability to meet one girl a day in real life.

What did you do before Tinder existed?

You got plenty to diversify:
- POF
- OkCupid
- Match
- and some new up and coming ones called 'Happn'


Stop depending on these platforms, they change all the time, be versatile, the best way to be good with online game, is to master cold approach pick up. Or perhaps your pics are getting a little outdated, send me your profile?

Quit with the attitude, because Jack hit the bull's eye

Get to work

Well I could do without that mocking talk about me crying to bouncers what not. That's a bit of a p*** take which I still consider disrespectful. But whatever...

Thanks for chipping in with practical advice in your new post.

Yeah I could do well in real life or other sites, maybe. Fact is though, that the method I'm using at the moment which I want to solve is Tinder. I use it for one reason, because I'm not getting out to meet girls in real life anymore. Social life has dried up.

What do you mean specifically that my well has run dry? Tinder isn't giving me the message that there are no profiles that meet my criteria anymore, like it did some time last year when I had a limited age preference range. So it seems that yeah, girls still are coming to Tinder to use it as new users. I also change my location when I use Tinder, like when I move around London for work.

I used OKC for a while, will go back to that later. Using POF now. That site has hit a dead end too. So I barely bother with it now.

Yeah I will use other sites if this problem with Tinder persists. But right now, the problem right in front of me is figuring out what is going on with Tinder, if there is anything I can do to solve it, or why it has happened?

I'm all for what you both say about using other methods, but I'd rather try and fix this Tinder problem first to see if that will work for me before I go to the Plan B of other sites/applications. (I'll look into Happn all the same)

Basically, Tinder was showing potential for me, seemed to be giving me better dates than I was with other dating sites, so naturally I want to make this work and go ahead with it. This is the main reason why I want to fix Tinder.

Again, new pics, new description, even location changes which have been advised to work for other people haven't worked here. So what gives? Do you guys have any technical advice on what can shake up the Tinder algorithms to work in my benefit and get me out of this black hole?

Thanks again to both of you for your help so far.

Your well has run dry means that the girls in your area that are attracted to you have chosen you. So instead of the five matches that your used to is now at one per week with the new joins. If you are saying that you are going to different areas and still not getting matches, then your pictures are probably not that great and/or, as Dragula suggested, are dated. I'd take him up on his offer to check out your profile. He's the resident Tinder expert on the forum and is Tinder Certified.

Thanks. I get what you mean that I may have used up all the girls that were in my area and not enough new ones have joined to like me the same amount as before.

I'll send you my pics, Dragula. I know it's all opinions, but I personally think my new replacing pics are better than my last batch. But heh, we'll see. I also wonder if girls are paying that much attention to me writing in my description about my real age (10 years older than it initially says on my profile), or if they even look at my profile beyond the first pic when swiping.

How do I send you my pics or other stuff from it, Dragula? Sorry I'm new here, not up to speed on the tech yet.

You realize that they can be filtering you out because your age is incorrect.

Possibly. I don't know. I guess all this is trying to work out what are the specific spanners in the works of my profile to be causing this problem.

Back around just after Easter is when I noticed the change, the drop. This was like in a week's period, suspecting a change, then doing some swipings, then confirming the drop. I would also just say yes to every profile, no one would swipe Yes back to me. So it's not like being less fussy helped.

Anyway, during this week, I still hadn't written what my real age was in my description. A week or 2 following this first 7 day period, I would still get less matches.

I wrote what my real age was after about 2 weeks after the first 7 day period of noticing the change. It didn't seem to affect the amount of matches I got in the 3 weeks before, or since. So I'm not sure if that has been majorly responsible for the Match drop.

So let's say that from January to Easter, I was using the same pics. Was getting an acceptable amount of Matches in that timeframe. A week or 2 after Easter I noticed I wasn't getting Matches compared to the week leading up to Easter (where I did get a nice % of matches to the amounts that I was swiping that week preceding Easter).

Since Easter until about a month ago (end of April) I was still using the same pics. Matches had dropped. New pics I used at end of April hasn't made things worse or better.

Wow...
I didn't get why you were coming at jack after you're the one who said tinder was your only cure for singledom.

This online shit is supposed to be a supplement to meeting women in person.. Not something you should be emailing tinder abt.

Never used tinder but from experience with other dating apps there are less options when summer comes rolling around. Women aren't really that into meeting strangers when they're more options to go out during sumner. If you live in a country or state with seasons maybe this is it? I never really cared personally because summer is when I'd want to meet women in person vs online during the summer too.

But all that said.. Meet more women in person. Your time would be better spent with in person socializing that playing with algorithims

Thanks for your reply, and I didn't mean to get at Jack. I see where you and Jack and Dragula are getting at - that I need to get out more, use more sites etc. It's Summer now and I can't be so closed minded, I need to be more assertive in real life and push harder and on other sites. OK that's something to start thinking about and put into action.

If I make you all a deal and start to put more heart, soul and belief into doing that, can we stay a bit more on track with this singular problem I am in this thread about, and see how we can solve my Tinder problems? The issue of my life outside it is a whole other problem and story which I will tell people about here later on, as I plan to.

But it would be a real relief and ease a major trouble I'm having with Tinder itself if anyone can advise on what are the technical ways I can dig myself out of this black hole I am in with Tinder. It would benefit a tremendous amount.

Right now I'm not sure what I can do to my profile as it is now to move it to the top of the pile or other ways it can get matched up more. I'm not sure if my profile is being seen and not swiped on, or it is being seen or something about it is putting women off.

Maybe the pool is empty. But I'm not running out of people in my area and age range, they are still there. I just don't know how it all works. When I'm swiping through, am I looking at new profiles or older profiles, or in any order of the 2? Like newer profiles I see first?

And is it the same for women? That they see newer male profiles first then older male profiles after, in that order? Maybe my profile is now considered too old to be seen?

How does this 'top of the pile' work?
Does the top of the pile mean that new profiles are top of the pile? Older profiles at the bottom? Is this what has happened to me? Or, again, have I been pushed to the bottom for something wrong that I did?

Sorry for the long posts, I'm just trying to figure out what has happened here, and maybe I need to figure out how Tinder works for me to know this. Not sure if there is anything I can do about it still after all this.

Lol. Come on man, you know you're gonna stay on Tinder. No one needs a story about what issue is stopping you from real life interactions because its just BS. If you have time to be on Tinder, you have time to go out. Whatever issue is keeping you from going out, if its real, well that would keep you from going on dates. There is no excuse or reason.

Dating sites change, so you should not put this much energy into one form of dating app. From the second you thought of creating a new fb and all that, you should stop. If Tinder gone = you're in a "dating death", then you werent doing anything well on there. Maybe a few dates, but if it was THAT good, you'd at least have chicks now to keep fucking. So Tinder hasnt been so good to you that you need it.

I dont know how Tinder works, but this sounds like a drug addiction as your bargain for ways to keep it going. The time you will spend on this app to figure out what the algorithm is, you can spend meeting women. As I said, maybe its just the season, but you are WAY WAY too dependent on an app that got you a few dates or lays, but nothing stuck. So you can spend time fixing tinder, to get some dates. Or you can delete your acct and go improve yourself to be able to meet women anywhere.

Thanks. As I said, I will put more effort into dating in real life and other sites too. Your points I am taking on board with an open mind. Again, there are other issues for those avenues that I'll like to discuss on other threads some time.

In the meantime, yes, any advice anyone can give, or any experts here on Tinder, do please feel free to help me out. One problem about meeting girls at a time. Right in this thread, I'd like to keep it on topic, and I'd really like to get any help from anyone that they can give. Thank you all, your help is appreciated, and needed.
