I dont get this, you swipe right, they swipe right, you message them and they never reply...

Quite a lot of people just do it for a bit of fun, with no intention of using it for dating. I know I did, I only messaged one person as she worked in the barbers I go to.

My facebook is just a placeholder account so don't know if that matters? ie its not my real name and i only have 2 friends on it that i added from SA and i never actually use it.

I signed up but after a while i just can't take all the faces, it gets too much. Same with dating sites, reading all the profiles and looking at the pictures, it just hurts my head.

That's just why you always just swipe right.

Used to use Tinder when it first came out and had minimal success. got like 30+ matches and most of them were munters/weird/men(for some reason)

You're using it wrongly if you're getting matched with munters and men.

'I'm swiping yes to all these munters and men but can't work out why I'm getting matched with them?' :rolleyes:

I live in a reasonably small town and most of the girls that come up I already know.

It's just a copy of Grindr. Straight people are always playing catch up.

Regarding the FB association - will my wife and family find out?

Only when you and your wife both swipe right on each other by accident.

Nope, all it pulls is your likes, if you have mutual friends and you can use photos you have been tagged in.

One of my mates (who's recently turned 18) just started using Tinder yesterday, I swear he'll have go no sleep last night from all the swiping he'll have been doing, lol.

I want to use it but I don't think my girlfriend would be impressed...

Living in a student accommodation of about 3000 people, this app has been perfect. Simply set it to <1 mile, swipe right on everyone, wait for the matches and weed out the uglies. Sorted.
