I think the exact same here - the girl is attractive and obviously looks after herself and has a common interest. What's not to like? I'd meet her.

Definitely has a great body and she seems awesome in her text game.

As for meeting...I thought this 'experiment' only went so far as proving game, considering you know, OP isn't technically who he says he is

I'd still go out and meet her if I were him, he's got nothing to lose at all - think of it as a challenge!

Uhh...what?

No. Just no.

otaku, why don't you arrange to have me meet her somewhere, and then when I flake, you can swoop in and save the day (with your dick)?

Also, I'm matching with black girls? Holy shiit, it's late 2011 all over again for me.

Yep.

This just in everybody - A girl who was physically attracted to a tinder user that wasn't completely autistic set up a date with him.

Absolutely groundbreaking.

It'd be hysterical "I've got a similar skin condition to Michael Jackson, I started off as a white guy and ended up black."

I don't get it. It's pretty obvious that looks are the most important thing on Tinder, otaku.

Maybe in theory...certainly not in practice!

I must have high standards.......would not even message said woman lol. I can get over everything else, but not a butch face.

Lol it's only a nose job

This.

Id bang them if it fell on my lap but wouldn't shatter my confidence if they didnt swipe back in return. That 2nd chicks face annoys me. Id rather box her then court her.

lol at not going on backpage for $50 hh outcall hookers. brb better than jerking off, brb worth the money. half the girls on tinder are on there for self esteem boost, dead fkin srs. most arent serious when chit gets real, they will flake

Joking aside, I think you misunderstand - who cares what she thinks?

I genuinely would turn up and see it as a test of my game to see if I could turn it around. Now the odds are that she almost definitely storms off, I'm not claiming I'd be good enough to prevent that (well not on current form).

The real issue is not about whether or not she does, or that she creates some big meltdown scene in public but about having the confidence to put yourself in that nothing to lose situation and not care about any social embarrassment that might come about from it.

It is quite literally win win - if OP puts himself in that situation and she storms off, he's won because he pushed himself out of his comfort zone and took a risk. If he's good enough with his real life verbal game that she doesn't storm off, then he's won.

So I genuinely think he should arrange a meet and go for it.

I thinkyoumisunderstand the point of this thread. go back and read the op

That's a bit of a strange deflection to re-route back to the OP. I know exactly what he was doing. He advocates that on Tinder, looks trump game and that he'll get more matches using Vick's pics than his own, but intends to use his own bio.

However the root driver for doing this experiment is because he's unhappy that he's not meeting the kind of women he wants due to the area/appearance etc. I'm actually suggesting that he escalates the experiment for his own good and take a chance in arranging a meet and going through with it.

If he proves all that matters is looks and girls give him phone numbers when he uses boring chat, then it's a form of negative reinforcement of his own views and the long term effect might be to dishearten him from trying. If he proves that his game is what gets him the meet and phone number (which I think he is doing with the messages) then it becomes that same negative reinforcement in that his personality is good enough but he never gets that chance because of his looks.

So this experiment only offers two outcomes to my mind:

1) Only looks matter, I acted like a boring tool and still got phone numbers
2) My game gets me the numbers but I never get the opportunity because of my looks.


From the OP, he is looking to get outcome 2.

Now if he arranges a meet, goes and actually manages to successfully interact/date one of the girls he met through duplicitous methods, then it means that his game/personality trumps the look and he avoids that second means of negative reinforcement.

So I am actually encouraging him to take a chance and get something positive out of it, assuming he likes the girl which I think he does. I'd actually recommend meeting every girl he gets a number from for that very reason.

You being srs brah? A girl's going to go defcon five once she realizes she's being catfished, and I wouldn't blame her one bit.

exactly.

there is no argument to perpetuate catfishing. end of/

If I were female and thought I was meeting up with a HBB like Vick, and a random black dude showed up instead I'd laugh in his face and leave. That's going to happen 99% of the time, nobody is going to be happy and receptive about being catfished.

On the contrary, I've heard a few stories of women saying "I haven't been honest in my pics, I am actually big" like hours before the date. My one buddy still went, took her out for dinner and said "she was practically licking the plate clean bud" ayyyyy ROFL.

Yeah and neither would I, neither would anyone. I'd expect her to be outraged and I'd expect her to walk away or create a scene.

But what's the real fear here? That she rejects him? That she causes a scene in front of other people and they judge him? Who cares. I mean this is just an experiment, it's just a laugh - it's a thread on BB.com in the misc section.

But he'd be a f*cking legend and would literally have lost nothing if he turned it around into dating one of the girls he met like that.

Yeah, this as well - how many girls got pics from 5 years ago on Tinder!

Catfishing is fcked up and not right to do to someone...how do you not get that?

buchy plz

i like u but

buchy plz

Inb4 OP ends up on MTV


I get a fair amount of Tinder matches myself. The more selective I am, the less though, than if I mass swipe right. And I don't have anything in my profile. Might just be your area OP. Im lucky to live in an area with 3 really good colleges in a 20 mile radius.


Curious, reading this and seeing the success you're having with Vick's pictures(he is a good looking dude), but what would explain the other miscers using fitness model pictures on Tinder and not getting matches?

Maybe it's clear that they are lying/faking? I look like an average dude who takes care of himself and have a variety of pictures in different areas and it looks consistent. Plus I look like the kind of guy who would use Tinder (most guys do.) So I think they can sense what's going on, in a way. Or they're just intimidated, which I doubt.

Think I've had a feeling for a while that Tinder/Bumble is all about your looks first, quality of pictures second, and location third, for MATCHES, but it is highly variable. Obviously once you have matches then it is about game and filtering.

For example, I'm not back into the dating game yet, but I never deleted the app, recently I decided to do an experiment when the new update on Bumble dropped which shows you how many "yes" matches have lined up, but doesn't show you who they are. I live in London, UK, about year and a bit ago using the same pics I've tried recently I was getting a decent number of matches, tried them again recently and absolutely nothing for ages. Then I go to Birmingham for a weekend and get 12 matches in two days. Come back to London and it's quiet again. Note that I am probably now much pickier than I was 18 months ago, but still.

So I know those pictures were ok for London chicks 18 months ago, but they aren't anymore. And I know those pics are good for Birmingham chicks right now. I also get decent matches when I go back to my parents place in the sticks despite the population density being much lower, but I never follow it up as I'm just passing through.

I also know my pictures are pretty crap - I've had mates look at them and say "yeah you need better pics". I've been on plenty of dates where the girl says I am better looking in real life, I have had girls in real life say they find me intimidatingly attractive (which is ironic because I tend to be intimidated by hot girls, I am not used to the shoe being on the other foot), and I have straight up dated pro models and dancers in real life just through meeting them at parties - clearly my face and build is not the problem here.

I'm pretty sure if I actually got some decent pics I would be golden, but I don't really have any, I'm not very photogenic in "natural" pictures where I'm snapped out partying with my mates, always get caught with my eyes closed or accidentally pulling some goofy face mid-sentence or something. Most pics where I look decent are "loner" pics and then as others have mentioned here you look like an antisocial dork, and I think pro pics tend to look a bit too obviously staged.

So, if you can't seem to get decent pictures where you're out being sociable, what do?

Re: the experiment so far, clearly looks are subjective, I mean, I didn't like the look of Girl 1, but I don't think Girl 2 has a "butch face" at all, I think she's quite pretty. I like a girl that works out but she's gone a bit too hard at it for my tastes, but I'd probably still give things ago if she has a nice personality - better super toned than SuperSize, your mileage may vary.

I don't know about other miscers, but my strong standards are justified because... I am good looking. Sure she is fit and in shape, but she is still average to me. Personally, If a woman does not make me go "woah... or damn", she is average or slightly above average. Anyway,nothing wrong with average as long as she is not fat, my ex was average.

Buchy: HAHAHAHA... are you trying to get Otaku arrested? LMAO.
