I normally think sg posts shit, but he's pretty bang on there
A very cynical assessment, but yeah pretty accurate.
Tinder profiles are often so weird though. Why do people think singular words like 'Travel. Food. Fitness' etc. randomly lumped together makes them appealing? it's all so very bland and cliché. Actually my big pet peeve is campaigners who throw 'wanderlust' or worse 'wonderlust' (nice one, dickheads) into their bio. It's so contrived and pretentious; wow, you went to Bali/on a contiki tour last holidays? So unique!

As for guys, there are only 2 types of guys who use online dating, whether it be Tinder, POF eHarmony etc etc
#1: The guy trying to get some pussy. Once he has got it in, you are probably no use you him unless you plan on putting out again (without commitment of course). This makes up 95% of male users. He could be young and on his V's or old and trying to recapture his youth but girls don't be fooled by his profile which may say differently. Rest assured he doesn't want to "spoil you" and he isn't into "bushwalking" or "the arts".

#2: The forever alone white knight. Deep down he is the same as guy #1 but he believes the way to get girls is to give them gifts and shower them in compliments in the hope that they will one day want to "settle down with a nice guy". Sex isn't even a priority right now and #2 would settle to just have some semi-positive attention from the opposite sex.

Seems like it would be very easy to mess with people. I probably wouldn't expect anybody on there to be overly reliable.
A friend of mine was playing on tinder when she was in Europe last year. She and her friend managed to convince some poor bloke (who spoke very broken English) that the three of them would meet up one night for some 'fun'. They organised a time and a place. The girls never rocked up.

Chicks are harsh.

I think with other people I see the heart get less green over time, mine has never been anything other than full green.

Maybe the algorithm gives me a pass for being young and in a major city. Adding value and all that.
I haven't used Tinder in a while now, they could have taken that feature away.

I don't have Tinder and that was just from hearing a few guys talking but....

"I'm not like other girls"= She's exactly like other girls
"Foodie"= Fat or soon to be fat
"Not here for sex". Lol gtfo bish you're on a dating website
"Looking for a man to treat me right"= She's looking for someone to pay for her shit
"I'm a mummy and proud"= She got pumped and dumped by some dropkick and is now living on benefits with their kids
"Like pubs and staying in to watch movies not clubs"= I'm too ugly to go to clubs/I have no friends
"Curvy"= Fat. Run fellas run
Girls with kids aren't for me, full stop, but the ones who are sensible and normal about it are alright, it's those *******, "I'm 22 with two kids, they're my entire world and I'm so proud of them and if you don't like it swipe left."

Well, yes, no shit.

Whoever's winning
#3 – the #1 guy who is completely open about his intention about just wanting some casual or one off “fun times”
Guy at work is one of those, hasn't stopped the psycho hate mail from the chick who thought they were going to get married.
