Every other "person" that pops up now is spam for some random fake hookup site

lol, and I've seen one girl at least 6 times at this point. I'm pretty sure she's a legit person, too, tinder is just fucked up

I met the girl I'm currently "seeing" at the moment because she was in her friend's pics and I swiped right on it just so I could be like "what's good with your friend tho?", and well, she ended up being a match. I told her I was only interested in her friend, and she was like "you are the worst person ever, but I'm a good friend, so, she's single, give me your number and I'll pass this along."

So, if you're a girl, and all your pics are of you and your friends, they're all fair game in Tinderland.

that's really strong tinder game

7/22/2014 1:10:51 PM

so the date with the attorney (the 2.5 hour convo) was kind of a dud. he wants to hang out at his place, because he had a really crazy workweek and just wanted to "chill". he suggested he teach me how to play chess and I said I'll bring some wine. I realize it wasn't the smartest decision for a 1st date but I didn't want to be high-maintenance and be like "NO TAKE ME ON A PROPER DATE". Plus, I kind of wanted to relax too, so I thought it would work out.

well, I get to his condo and he is drinking a beer. an HOUR later, after sipping on his beer and not once offering me anything to drink, he is like "oh, did you bring the wine?" and I tell him it's over on the counter where I put it when I arrived. he opened it and I proceeded to drink the whole bottle by myself (he moved onto bourbon). the conversation is weird and I find out he's actually a public defender, so barely a real attorney, and I can tell by the fact that I know more about the cjus system than he does.

anyway. I'd give the date a 5/10.

tonight I'm going out with the other guy, who seems SUPER sweet and easy to get along with (and he's REALLY good looking), but I don't necessarily feel a spark with our conversations. however, he actually came up with 3 options for our date and even called a couple places. I think that is really sweet (versus just saying "hey, come to my place" or "meet me at a bar. you pick")

that said, I hate dating and I miss my ex. he is in the state for work (which was purposefully planned when we were still together). we're contemplating meeting up tomorrow night.

Mmmm...that's about as real as you get for an attorney. I mean...he could be a shitty one...but these guys are in the courtroom more than anybody except for a solicitor.

7/23/2014 2:21:32 PM

this guy sounds like he was wanting to use tinder for a hook up but got caught up talking to you for way too long. so he gave you the wrong idea and tried to bring it back to casual hookup status when it came time to hang out.



if a girl isn't all that interesting or conversational in the first few minutes i usually just quit and move on. but at the same time if all they want to do is chat through the app i quit and move on too. it's a delicate balance.

7/23/2014 2:25:49 PM

and this:

If a dude asks you to his place for a first meet-up...then he's looking to hook-up and hook-up only.

7/23/2014 2:40:58 PM

So...i just joined. What do I do? just swipe right to all of them until one of the matches with me? Even fat chicks?

7/23/2014 3:30:31 PM

i mean you can swipe right for fatties if you want.

i don't.

or uggos.

7/23/2014 3:33:19 PM

slappy1 thinks she knows more about criminal justice system than a public defender

I was kind of joking. But just from the sounds of it, he really isn't the brightest crayon in the box. And there's a reason why certain people become public defenders and some people get hired at firms.

I know you guys like everything to be black and white, all the time, but it's *possible* your experiences and intentions are different than other peoples'. He didn't put the moves on me when I was over there, yet when I made several attempts to leave, he tried convincing me to stay (in case your response was going to be "he just thought you were fugly when you got there). He has also been texting me and asking about our next hang-out. He also has emailed me a few "inside joke" things that we had been talking about (including the booking photos and info of this guy whose facial composite I've been obsessed with for years...and he happened to represent the guy. small world).

7/23/2014 3:45:45 PM

sounds like he wanted a hookup but doesn't know how to make a move

7/23/2014 3:48:47 PM

Maybe he just as shitty hook-up game.



Probably figured that you agreed to show up at his house for the first meet-up after talking on Tinder that he was in like Flynn. Once you didn't take off your shirt and jump on his dick in the first 15 minutes...he kinda panicked and then remembered you brought a bottle of wine and might be thirsty.

And again...not defending the guy:

But these jobs are highly coveted these days. They get you courtroom experience and are great stepping stones to big firm jobs. He could still be a dumbass...but if he's recently out of law school (first couple years)...then he's in a good position to have a successful legal career. This is coming from someone who did all the opposite things in order to have a successful legal career.

Perhaps slappy is right and not all dudes think or act like you?

[Edited on July 23, 2014 at 4:11 PM. Reason : ]

7/23/2014 4:03:54 PM

^^you very well could be right, but I already made clear in no uncertain terms that I'm not here for the hookups. not that that would matter to some people, but still.

I just gave him the benefit of the doubt by going over there. either way, I probably won't be seeing him again, so I'm not too worried about it.

tonight's date is beers and darts. I'm kind of excited, mostly because he is so cute

but just to be clear: if he DOESN'T kiss me, his game is weak; if he DOES kiss me, he's just trying to score.

I know that they don't...but the majority do. Even the dudes that are looking for a relationship still want to hit it.

7/23/2014 4:20:08 PM

i joined tinder about three weeks ago out of curiosity because a close guy friend made it seem fun, not planning on actually meeting anyone.

i chatted with a few people but only one guy was actually persistent with wanting to meet up. he basically told me "i know this is your day off, we are going to meet here and then do this." typically i'd be a little put off by that kind of assertiveness but from our conversations he seemed pretty interesting and well, i am kind of a push over.

anyway, we met at a thai place for lunch then went for a pretty strenuous 3 mile hike straight up a mountain to a resevoir. we had planned to go for a swim while up there so we had our suits, but the water was freezing so we didn't stay too long, surprised a snake on the way down and it jumped at us.

since then we have done lots of adventurous stuff (lots of hiking) he even gave me a mountain bike. he is probably one of the coolest guys i have ever met. the downside is he is moving to arizona in a few weeks so on our second "date" we talked about it and decided to just ride it out and after he moves it will be over. the upside is we are roadtripping down there together and backpacking through zion national forest and camping in the grand canyon then i am flying back here.

tl;dr version - i am having a pretty awesome tinder fling

[Edited on July 23, 2014 at 5:11 PM. Reason : i do what i want]

7/23/2014 5:10:13 PM

now that's how you dos it

7/23/2014 5:15:25 PM

^^...so...did yall boned?

7/23/2014 5:30:40 PM

^^^i am jealous of that trip. It sounds awesome

7/23/2014 7:42:28 PM

he's going to murder you in the grand canyon.

7/24/2014 11:22:02 AM

Got a match! Now thinking of something clever to say...and then wait.

7/24/2014 1:52:34 PM

I got a match and we chat all the time on the app, but it's not really going anywhere type of chat.

Makes me sad he's pretty damn chill though so maybe I need to be the ballsy one and suggest something huh?

Also have a couple other matches that keep liking my "moments" but never chat. They're prob fake huh?

7/24/2014 1:59:36 PM

nah they just don't care enough to holler. i'm like that.

7/24/2014 2:29:39 PM

you sir, are a dick

7/24/2014 2:42:38 PM

^^^ ask him out then. I was getting ready to ask this girl out and she definitely beat me to the punch, so you wouldn't be the first one.

7/24/2014 3:54:11 PM

word!!

I'll def make some plans when I get back from this crazy NASCAR trip.

JEEPIN...YOU BETTER NOT LIKE MY MOMENTS AND NOT CARE

7/25/2014 2:30:48 PM

wtf are moments?

7/25/2014 5:27:55 PM

I don't know, I think it's like tinder's attempt at snapchat or Instagram. I've been using it as a tool to help me weed out potential suitors - anyone that posts a "moment" gets unmatched.

7/25/2014 9:11:28 PM

well moment is the tendency for something to produce motion around an object. so in regard to tinder, its the tendency for a lady to produce her mouf around yo dick

7/25/2014 9:57:26 PM

Annnnnd I've apparently gone through all men 29-40 within a 30 mile radius of me. Great.

7/25/2014 10:05:49 PM

oh that's nowhere near enough miles

7/26/2014 12:06:13 AM

Holla, slappy1.

7/26/2014 1:35:02 AM

slappy widden that distance girl

7/26/2014 4:37:22 PM

7/26/2014 7:45:48 PM

i cracked the code, dudes.

wine and a movie. innocuous, yet ambiguously implicit.

also posting this in case i get drugged and murdered tonight.

7/27/2014 10:54:28 PM

I follow Team Coco on youtube

Also, that video was embedded on the previous page

Also, there is an outtakes video from that skit, but it's not as good

7/27/2014 11:03:13 PM

I'm glad I didn't see it on the other page. Gotta spread out my appreciation--can't just give it all to Jeepin4x4.

And I also follow them on YouTube, but I never make it over there. I guess I stay pretty busy with refreshing TWW.

7/27/2014 11:12:30 PM

^^^^^ great bit. i wonder if they'll keep it going...

7/27/2014 11:23:28 PM

I'd love to watch continual episodes of that kind of thing, haha

7/27/2014 11:58:56 PM

I love how chicks always put "Not looking for just a hook-up."

Are there many women on Tinder that are? So cliche' when I see this shit.

I've also been noticing a flood of fatties on Tinder lately. I wonder how many matches they get.

7/29/2014 12:22:39 PM

not looking for a hook up = looking for a hook up

duh.

also i keep getting this profile popping up on mine of this midget girl. she's like 2 feet tall. I KEEP SWIPING LEFT BUT SHE KEEPS COMING BACK.

7/29/2014 12:24:35 PM

^^because I think the initial premise of tinder (and it probably still is for a lot of people) was to hook up. some people, myself included, would like to use it as more of a poor man's match.com.

I have on mine "not looking for hookups. unless you're the ghost of marge schott. then maybe."

7/29/2014 12:35:12 PM

^this

I'm a fatty and I get lots o matches

7/29/2014 12:43:15 PM

is it safe to say that the people who don't bother filling ANYTHING out in their profile section are just there to hook up? or really lazy? or have nothing of any value to say about themselves? all of the above?

7/29/2014 12:56:01 PM

7/29/2014 1:15:41 PM

I got on this last night for the first time and saw 2 twwers in the first 2 minutes.
