Ok, sorry. Remove the thread if you want it please.We've talked about Tinder at length a few different times. If you search 'Tinder' from the top of the page, you'll get a lot of results.
No need to be sorry.Ok, sorry. Remove the thread if you want it please.
Tinder though, it's a very mixed bag and takes a fair amount of work.
I’ve been wondering if Tinder would be a good resource to find models to work with, since sites like Model Mayhem aren’t worth much these days (except for getting hundreds of friend requests from retouchers)
I have had good, bad and terrible encounters through Tinder in Japan but all in all in my opinion it takes far too much work to get anything out of it to be considered a good venue for hook-ups.
Basically you can get results with anything, like standing in the taxi queues, but I would not want to rely solely on either that or Tinder for my fun. Way too uncertain and risky to bet my mental health on those.
Good summary... Tinder in Japan is a big opposite when coming from a country that knows how to use it.I was just in japan
I set up three tindr dates for when arrived. One was awesome.. cute classy funny office worker who spoke great english originally from okinawa. We drank all night went karaoke then banged till the sun cameup. I met her three times in two weeks. She Wasnt an easy hookup... she was super reluctant to come back to my hotel... it took booze and a lot of convincing. We're really cool now... shes visiting me in canada in Feb. The second tindr date didnt go as well. Girl was kind..but quiet... wouldnt do more than makeout. But i cant hold it against her.... nice gal really...we still chat here and there. Girl three was heavy makeup, cake face party girl. Hot.... but.... worn out? Lol she looked 25ish.. fun...but she had expensive tastes. Wasted 200 bucks on her... but i collected on my investment in the bedroom
She was kinky! But i wouldnt wanna meet her again.
I swipped maybe 300 woman and ended up meeting 3. Thats 1% conversion! Im white, friendly and better than average looking, those were my experiences... tindr sucks in japan...
I discovered tinder in Japan last year so I didn't have any basis of comparison. it worked well but it bored me pretty fast, I tried OKcupid too and it worked even better but bored me as well. I think I'm old school and I prefer to have the meeting before the talks. I don't enjoy texting with someone I haven't even met before.Good summary... Tinder in Japan is a big opposite when coming from a country that knows how to use it.
tbh, there is a large population on Tinder, at least around Tokyo. The question is about quality and who's actually willing to meet vs. just chatting.But I'd be curious to know what others think is better.
At least one of them will be a no-show. (or maybe two)
Thanks for the report, seems about average... definitely takes a lot of work with not much reward.So, I had my two dates: first one with a Brazilian-Japanese and second with an Ukrainian. First was nice, (she looks decent, a little on the chubby side, but takes care of herself and has a good personality) we went to an expat bar in Ebisu and had a good time. She was chatty and fun, music in the bar was great and in the end we got to know each other a little bit more. We are still in touch and chat regularly. No sex happened that night, but my gut feeling tells me she could become a good friend.
Second date, Ukrainian woman, was as pleasant and fun as a cock punch. She is definitively not great looking and doesn't know how to dress (she was looking like her clothes have been chosen by someone drunk and daltonic). Not a great conversationalist and we went around Ikebukuro for a couple of hours, whereas all I wanted was to sit down and have a coffee.
So, that's it. Tinder is a lot of work and patience for a tiny outcome. I'm currently chatting with other ten ladies and have no ideas whether I will have a date in the future or not.
How do your potential dates look?I have said this on a few of the other Tinder discussions so I will say it here too: Tinder works best if you get some really good photos of yourself to post and it's probably a waste of time without that one important step. Understand that the picture you post is going to be the make-or-break decision for the first few seconds somebody is reviewing your profile.
I had a buddy who is a good photographer take about 70 shots of me and then sorted out three good ones from that.
I'm about 60, am totally up front about being married with kids, and have had a couple dates (one leading to a night of sex) and a good number of solid prospects that I am only limited by my work schedule to hook up with - 3 others have agreed to meet as soon as we can find time that matches our schedules.
