Tinder Experiment Vol 1: Vick Edition

So many on this board have claimed that if you a girl matches with you on a dating app that you are "100% on" and if she flakes, stops responding, or etc then its somehow your fault. I completely disagree with this. Just because someone swiped right on you doesnt mean they are 100% invested until you make a mistake. More than likely other options appeared were better and you were lost in the sea of thirst. Others on here believe their "game" is what keeps the girl into the conversation. I also call shenanigans on this. As long as your arent autistic and know how to hold a conversation then your game is solid. Your facial/body aesthetics and normal social skills kept her around. Not your magical knowledge of game that you believe you have.

That said our home boy Vick has allowed me to use his photos to make a Tinder account. My goal is to simply try to get as many dates set up as possible within a 2 month period. If I'm successfully able to do this then that rips a massive hole in this "game theory". Just so people are aware I used Tinder from the tail end of 2013 until December 2016. I set up 3 dates from the app during that entire time. 1 skinny girl, and two overweight/obese girls. Think about that. 3 girls in a 3 year period mass swiping . Clearly Tinder, OkCupid,Bumble, and even real life encounters are all about how you look. Sure theres probably some kinda cute looking girl out there for some of us that struggle, but they will be far and few between and we'll always paddle up a ferocious river. tSo if I, otakutrevan can hold conversations with girls, and get them to agree to go on a date then that disproves the entire "you don't have game theory". It will solidify that I do in fact have game, but I have the wrong face.

Summary:
Vick is allowing otakutrevan to use his pictures for Tinder
otakutrevan is illustrating how "game" doesn't exist (minus men with social problems) and its pretty much all about the face

Profile



Haven't even had the account up and running for 5 minutes and Vick has already pulled more girls that I have in the past month lol.

you both would be surprised how many people deny this. However looks also matter extremely in real life. Confidence, charisma, and etc doesnt matter. They're great traits to have but girls arent trying to snag up ugly men or men they are afraid their family/friends will chastise them for.

LOL in for this. I've got to agree with you bro, I ran my "game" on my heart throb buddies account and the bishes were eating out of my hand. IRL however it's easier for us less attractive guys to have at least a shot.

Well anyone who says looks don't matter is either lying or retarded. A good looking guy will always have more opportunities and ability to get away with more fuk ups when it comes to getting women then some average or below average dude. You just better hope to God a woman finds you attractive for whatever reason because if she doesn't, one fuk up and you're screwed. Looks matter, looks matter,looks matter.

Is the point of this thread for otakutrevan to tell us he is ugly again? Or to realize he has no game either?

Yes but why not use a photo of a highly aesthetic black man? I mean that pic of vick is attractive (no homo).

Because in the South racism is a problem unfortunately, so he could get a higher of matches but you would probably get more matches in California as you mentioned. That's why we have all suggested that you move to a new location.

Have you spoofed Tinder in Cali with your photos? I thought that pondus used your photos in Cali?

In addition, if you set up dates, they could also flake as men on here had mentioned. So if she actually shows up and texts "where are you", then you know it's success. My .02 cents.

Two issues I can see right now:

1. How far are you planning to take this? It's been seen over and over on here that Tinder doesn't mean jack till you meet up IRL, but getting girls to go on dates that you are 100% going to flake on is kind of a scummy thing to do.

2. If Tinder girls go NC on you, we really don't know if it's because of your game or if they just found the next shiny object. If you get dates arranged with a bunch of mirin girls, then that will be mitigated, but I'm predicting that that'll be the bone of contention in this thread.

That being said,

.


Also, this is in Georgia right?

Well, that dudes profile description is also playing a HUGEEEEE role.

>been all over the world and travels.
Has money, status, and isn't boring.

> can find me in the gym
Likely in good shape.

>or working on my motorcycle
Has Handyman skills, and can fix shyt, which a lot of woman are turned on by.

>has pictures drinking, and with friends.
Not a loner, has friends and a social life.

It's as if you went and picked out what you think would get the most matches via the info(and not the pics) so it's obviously not purely about the looks, when your giving off all these other extremely positive things the average chick immediately picks up on. I would say the guy in the pictures is only slightly above average aesthetics wise as well. Not a bad looking guy by any stretch, but that a dude like that will get laid PURELY on looks is not a legitimate claim.

If you want this experiment to reaffirm your preexisting bias, make the pics on his profile bathroom selfies. And change the bio to activities that females are more turned off by, like being a big video gamer(i love my video games so much, but you get the point lol) or by listing height(but a "manlet" height such as 5'8).

also if you get chicks to meet up, cancel at the last minute so you don't make them actually go somewhere sitting around and waiting like an idiot lmao. kind of a dik move.

I disagree completely! Flaking on tinder is the norm these days, not an exception. Women flake and ghost ALL THE TIME (more than men obviously, since women have more opportunities) and for Oku to do his social experiment justifies perfectly well his methods. Women should start crying about guys flaking on them, when they stop doing it themselves! How about they phucking grow some integrity, dedication and morale first.

Online dating (tinder, etc.) in 2017 is really, really bad if you're not good looking. Some guys still don't get this.

I think that's Otaku's own description. I remember him being into tuning cars and ****, whereas I don't think Vick has mentioned doing anything mechanical. Not 100% sure, but that's my guess.

Also, how do we know Otaku's pics weren't like that? AFAIK he has never showed them.

This is why I misc; mad propz to Vick and Otaku.

Tho I wouldn't say that game doesn't exist, but I'll go as far as to say that it's ratherunimportant.

To provide an analogy cos I luv analogies: As a man, stressing about game is just like a girl stressing about what to wear... a hot bish could wear a fukin' black bin bag and still be smoking, and a fat tart will still be a fat tart no matter what clothes she puts on.

In, but as others have said I don't think you'll prove anything. Online stuff is just a catalogue for women, they're browsing for the best looking product.

Game differentiates when you get the meet, or when you're out in the real world.

Are you intending to be boring in your text interactions to see if the date still happens? I'm assuming that you're intending to as that's your basis if I've read your port correctly.

Mind = boggled.

WTF is the point of all this otaku?? YOUR sitch still won't change even if you prove this experiment. Why don't you focus your efforts on changing what you are currently doing, nevermind these stupid experiments. They will just frustrate and make you more angry. Yes, looks do play a huge role, PERIOD. Nobody ever denied that, other than shawty CHAD himself pondus lol. You should really record yourself in action if you want real feedback, srs.

You said you don't look like your avi nowadays, how far off are you?

I somewhat agree however I think otaku wants to actually interact with some of these people to see just how boring and lame I can be while still securing a date or two.
