Tinder all the way!
September 27, 2016

Nothing compares to Tinder! Don't even waste your time using other dating apps. I use Tinder for two years now and absolutely love it, especially when I am traveling. Combined with a good 'traditional' online dating site like Mingle2day it will give you a great mix of finding pleasure and a potential partner.

I learned a long time ago not to get your hopes up on online dating sites but if you remain realistic you can avoid disappointment and it makes arranging dates, when they do happen, even more special. Ive had dates on WeJustFit, Tinder, POF, etc. They do happen you just have to put in some work and be patient and positive. In short, this site is worth a try if you keep an open mind.

Tinder today is a major SCAM. Misleading you into a basic membership which the infer gets you started I t just gets you in the door. See someone you like, want to send a message, pay an extra additional monthly fee. Got a like from someone, want to see who, pay yet another additional fee.The ignore bother age and distance requests you entered and many of the images and/people have been on the site for years They should be banned once upon a time it was the best app around. It's a damn shame

Sadly, Tinder has numerous sockpuppet accounts. If you are looking for a woman from your city you are better off searching for her at a local gym/library/club, etc than on Tinder.
I met only one genuine lady Tinder. The rest were either social misfits or scammers from all over the world, writing gibberish and demanding money.

Fun and easy!
April 23, 2020

I've been using tinder for quite some time and I really enjoy it! I travel a lot and t's great way to meet new people as well, not necessarily to hook up, now that I am stuck at home it even lets me to change location to different countries for free, which is fun! Cool app

Weird site!
February 5, 2017

I was matched with several guys, some contact me all at once and then nothing. Some I havent had a chance to respond to and yet they don't send a message once we're a match. I think there is something going on behind the scenes and you're just collecting money from us who are over 30. Not right

Complete waste of time
November 30, 2014

Complete waste of time. Full of scammers and escorts. Sure, there are real people on there too (for now), but they are mostly just interested in chatting, and the ones that do supposedly want to meet up lie on their profile and are flaky as $#*!. On top of that their UI sucks. OKCupid beats them at their own silly swipe game, and offers a lot more info to go on than a few random photos that might not even be of the user.

I've been tinder gold member for few years, recently they asked me to rate and give my suggestions for improving and I did say few points which I think would be great to do so. But instead of replying back to me Tinder blocked and banded my account... if you don't like to listen to suggestions then why would you ask for one? I didn't say anything bad. My point was if I swipe a person 3 times left means I'm not interested in this person so don't bring it up again as its waste of time everyday swiping the same people.

Full of Scammers
June 9, 2021

I downloaded the app two days ago. I have swiped right on at least 50 women. I have chatted/texted only 6. And of those 6, their all scams. Not one original woman that's serious about a date, or anything original. I have also accounts on Zoosk & Match.com and they are exactly the same. I will be stopping my subscription to these sites, and removing them from my phone and life. The world has gone to sh-t.

Broken
February 8, 2022

I met my boyfriend on Tinder. He was just killed in a motorcycle accident. Tinder has been in denial about their age verification system being broken since summer 2020. I can't access the first conversation with my now dead boyfriend. I'm 51 ffs.

The main advantage of tinder is that it's widely used. It's good that apps like these exist, but they need to cater better to women. The paying versions only help make you more prominent and increase your changes of being liked. But there is actually research to prove what most users already know - female users don't have a hard time getting liked, we have a hard time finding male profiles we like. There is absolutely no way to filter for anything, even language! In most cities the app is full of pictures of physically attractive, weird-looking men. Women almost always need more than looks to go on, for our safety apart from anything else. Until this problem is fixed a lot of women are likely to stop bothering with tinder even as it is and there is no way most of us will bother paying given that currently the paying options don't offer us anything.

Have been off and on Tinder for months. App is easy to use. Have had two dates and a couple of conversations. Also on Bumble. More about that later. I communicated with a nurse for little more than a week. We appeared to get along. I noticed early signs of flakiness--ignoring request to chat directly, taking a few days to respond. She appeared to be interested, strung me along for 10 days. When I finally suggested a place to meet, she unmatched me. About three weeks later, we match on Bumble. She messages me, "Nice to meet you." I responded, "You don't remember me from Tinder?" I took the opportunity and tore her a new one. Ladies, if you're not going to be nice to people, at least have a good memory of those you treated like crap. It'll save you a lot of embarrassment.

Complete bull$#*! site
November 23, 2023

So, the fact that the site is at least 50% fake/ fraudulent accounts is one thing, but what truly makes Tinder an absolute POS is that you can not contact an actual human being that works there without some sort of miracle. That alone should tell you its all bull$#*!.

Waste your money elsewhere.

I was only on Twitter for a couple of weeks when I was permanent banned. They gave me absolutely no reason for this. I am outspoken about my dislike of Trump and told one guy that and I was immediately banned. I am an American citizen and I have the right to engage in political speech. Watch out, Facebook, you've already been targeted for spreading Russian troll propaganda. This is outrageous. Tinder should have to explain why they are banning you and they do not.

I don't get it.
September 16, 2016

There is nobody within a hundred miles of me, so meeting someone is out of the question. But I do enjoy the onsite game they have. First you get matched with several hundred spam accounts, and then you flag them all for spam. It's great fun.

I discovered that there are many fake profiles on Tinder so I use it for entertainment only. After using it a while you will get a lot of matches but many of them go nowhere. It can be a numbers game sometimes.

Functionality is good and I can tell why Tinder become so popular. It is a little addictive. Like I wrote in the beginning it is perfect for entertainment. If you are serious about meeting someone, I'd still go for the traditional online dating sites. There are plenty of good options like Mingle2day, Cupid, Match and OKC.

$300 down the drain
April 25, 2022

I'm mad at Tinder! $300 down the drain. They made me believe I had many likes and I paid so I could contact these people.The majority of people who liked me on Tinder were fake and some had duplicate profiles. I talked to a few women who were downright odd and of course they looked down on an average guy like me. Trust me, I'm not too picky, ugly or rude, I go on dates through other apps and sites, but those few Tinder women who are not fake turn out to be ridiculously picky. They have nothing to offer but expect a knight in armour.

Tinder is a $#*! company. It is literally "le creme de la $#*!" of all the dating apps. I have seen fake profiles on it, I have seen only people who want sex or hook ups, I have seen women prostitutes soliciting money and sex and yet here I am an actual person seeking a relationship who did nothing wrong but have normal photos and a normal profile and I get banned with NO explanation. Makes a ton of sense! NOT! Good luck Tinder. You suck!

Paid v free
March 24, 2023

I've had the free version and subscription. I found that once you're not paying you rarely get any matches. I'm also on hinge and get matches frequently. Maybe it's a coincidence but I really doubt that.
