30s on Tinder

Jump to: Newest in thread

Turned 33 in April. Been using Tinder for just over a month now and have had zero likes. It's made me wonder whether 30s is like a lost middle ground on there?

The way I figure, most women in their 20s will consider me too old, and women in their late 30s/early 40s might consider me too young. This leaves women within a year or two of me in either direction, and reduces my overall potential matches.

Would be keen to hear from others 30 and up about their experience?

I'm prepared to face the fact that it's just me

Isn't this the third or fourth time you've posted this?

If you think age is your issue hide it.

If you think your pics or text is your issue change it.

Tinder isn't awful. It isn't great.

I'm 40 plus and have had likes from ladies 10 or 12 years either side of me. To the right person it really is just a number.

Are you sure your profile isnt hidden? Not sent to liked only?

Before I was just generally wondering about others experiences of tinder, but yesterday I started to wonder if my age was an issue.

And no, it's definitely showing

Can I ask what sort of pics you use on tinder?

Try a different app. Bumble might be better for your age group.

Snatch seems to be a harder catch on bumble though but does seem to be of higher class.

If you get desperate try POF. Just make sure you double bag your fellow.

Go with Bumble. Women message first if they are interested, that way you know for sure.

I think bumble and hinge are miles better. If you can’t get a sniff on tinder then I would hazard a guess that your blurb is crap and your standards aren’t reflective of reality? Why don’t you do an hour of only right swipes, zero no’s.

If your not mega swiping right for days on end your doing it wrong. Swipe right now and do the picking later.

It has to be your blurb, you’re good looking.

I just read your profile on here and I felt bored instantly. “I can assure you…”

I’m giving feedback - not trying to be a bitch

Bro, it’s just online dating.

I’ve had the same experience on several apps (Bumble, POF, Happn, OKcupid) - Only likes come from bots.

Starting to wonder whether I’m past it.

However. I did read somewhere that the algorithms on these sites are tuned to matching under 25s or there abouts that everyone else is a ‘second class’ citizen.

You can strike up conversation naturally without being creepy or a pervert. I’m married and not trying to pull but still do it regularly.

OP, your posts and comments are always really negative towards how you look, come across, cock size, how you have no luck anywhere.

Try and have a positive outlook and things might change? After all, you've had fab meets, and youre not the elephant man with a 0.5 inch penis. You just moan a lot (and not in a good way)

I get approached by women almost every time I’m having a night out. Even if I’m on my own. They’re perverts obviously. Even the ones asking for makeup tips

Yep, try positivity. Nobody likes a negative Nelly. Also, it’s a vibe you can give off, and do. Nobody wants that energy around them or in them.

Pics smiling, a funny profile text. Back yourself, it’s dog eat dog but you ain’t getting eaten.

I get likes, in your town, and I've got 10 years on you.

If it's not working change something. Doing the same over and over is the definition of insanity.

Yeah and the difference is you’re married ..I assume you wear a ring, which will make it obvious.

Married mate of mine says exactly the same thing. Once married very easy to approach and talk to women. Even gets approached by women.

Anyway, I’m not complaining - as someone pointed out - it’s the fault of some men. The rest of us just have to bear it.

A lot of the time they don’t notice the ring. I’m a naturally chatty person though and must seem approachable.

Swipe swipe and more swipe right, lose the mates pics, if that appears a lot swipe left as they don't know who the profile belongs to. Keep the blurb simple, double check your settings that you're seeing everyone and they're seeing you, you're not ugly so I doubt you're not getting any swipes, you may just not be swiping them back

Ut's unusual for someone to get absolutely zero likes. Is your bio on Tinder filled with the same crippling self doubt as your posts on here?

I found Tinder a waste of time tbh, it's full of wrong uns on a weekend sesh just after nudes.

I made sure my group pics (2 of them) appear after plenty of solo ones .

And I am swiping mostly right. Whether it's a nice pic or a good bio with similar interests listed, I swipe right.

50 years old, face no one wants to see anywhere never mind on here and I’ve used POF Badoo fetlife, countless others plus this is my fourth time on fab, everything is what you make it, be positive, be charming be funny and above all be yourself, why do people treat it like it’s results orientated, I haven’t had a blow Job in 8 days, I’m unverified no face photo, how’s he doing it? You ask, well I’m having conversations, that often start in the forums, I’m not expecting anything, not even a message back, your expectations of yourself should be very high, you should be top of the food chain entertaining but don’t expect anything back, if and when people message me back it makes my day better but not getting anything at all does not make it worse, chin up
