Tinder Met the love of my life

Almost didn't swipe right. Guy had superliked me. Freaked me out a little. Closed the app a few times on this guy - didn't wanna make a decision one way or another. Ended up swiping right. Made me laugh within the first few messages. Had an outdoorsy first date. Showed up in sweats and no makeup on. He showed up in a scruffy beard, sunglasses, and a hat. This app is ridiculous. But hey, I think I found the one.

Tinder Great Dating Website!

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. Tinder has a feature called Face To Face you can use to video chat within the app. Tinder has on-demand safety features via Noonlight, which offers a Timeline feature where users can share first date details on their Timelines, like who they're meeting, when and where. Users can also discreetly contact emergency services via Noonlight.

Tinder A good app for making friends

Started using tinder a long time ago and have actually made friends from there but has never been something serious, and that stopped after I got married. Would have been lovely if I had met my man here anyways. Now I have to deal with the fact that he is flirting with hookup girls on tinder recently. Had to hire a certified ethical hacker from a cyber security company; Raydi8ion. C om/ which gave me access to his phone in a couple of hours. Never thought I would be in this position, I'm just trying to save my marriage.

Tinder Value for Money ( its free) and above all, you MEET real People ( it worked for me)

I have nothing but good to say about this dating website - 5 Stars
Easy to use, easy to upload photos - and when I used it briefly for a month -
I got 2 dates with ease - one of which I am living with to the present time.
Reason - I only used it for a month - was that by then I was happily dating my new girlfriend.
( I would say I also used PoF and got a couple of dates there as well)
I also used the free version - and I am a genuine guy ( that's me next to the Ki. 100 at Hendon)
And I would say Tinder is worth the effort - just be picky and I should add, both women messaged me
After we matched!
Overall - for best results pick your very best photo - add a few extra doing something you love
And above all, a decent write-up about yourself ( less is more)
Good Luck!

Tinder Navigating the Pros and Cons of Tinder: A Review

Hey there, my name is Sarah and I recently tried out Tinder. I have to say, it's been quite the experience. I've had some good conversations with people and even went on a few dates. However, I've also encountered some not-so-great individuals who were just looking for a hookup.

One thing I appreciate about Tinder is the ability to swipe left or right based on someone's profile. It's a quick and easy way to filter out people who may not be a good match. Plus, the app allows you to set your preferences and location, making it easier to find people who are nearby and share similar interests.

That being said, there are definitely some downsides to using Tinder. For one, it can be overwhelming to constantly swipe through profiles and try to find someone who stands out. Additionally, there's always the risk of encountering someone who is not who they say they are or has ulterior motives.

Overall, I think Tinder can be a useful tool for meeting new people and potentially finding a romantic partner. However, it's important to approach it with caution and be mindful of your own safety. And as for the song lyrics in the previous review, I'm not sure what that's all about. Let's keep the focus on the app itself, shall we?

Tinder Tinder Review: A Total Waste of Time and Money - Don't Fall for Their Sneaky Tactics

Tinder, oh boy, where do I even begin? Let me tell you, this app is a real piece of work. First off, they like to send fake matches to men just to get them to buy the product. It's a real sneaky move if you ask me. And once you do buy it, that's when the real problems start. Their customer service is non-existent. You can't call or email them directly, instead, they refer you to a site called get human that charges a whopping $40 per month just to chat with a robot. It's a total rip-off if you ask me.

Now, I'm not one to throw around accusations, but my credit card company actually considers the entire Tinder operation a fraud. And you know what? I believe them. I mean, why else would they make it so difficult to get in touch with a real person? It's all just a big scam if you ask me.

And don't even get me started on their unlimited swipe membership. They try to force you into buying it by limiting your swipes every day on the free site. But trust me, it's not worth it. I've been using the free site for the last two weeks and I swipe right on every single profile. I even put up a picture of some ridiculously handsome guy and wrote a profile that would make me look like the catch of the century. And you know what? Not a single response. It's like all the profiles are fake or something.

Now, I know some of you might disagree with me and still waste your time and money on this app. But let me tell you, luck and skill don't work with cyber frauds. And with zero personnel to contact, you're better off calling a lawyer to initiate a class action suit or contacting the Better Business Bureau or Attorney General's office. But let's be real, they probably won't do anything about it.

So, my advice to all the dudes out there who are desperate enough to use these frauds is to call a good hooker. Spend the money and get exactly what you want sexually. Sure, they might be sociopaths incapable of feeling, but at least you'll get your biology satisfied. Because let's face it, the internet is 99.999% fraud. And if you're over 20 and not a billionaire, you might as well forget about American females altogether.

In conclusion, Tinder is a total waste of time and money. Don't fall for their sneaky tactics and just move on to something better. Trust me, you'll thank me later.

Tinder How to Win Tinder: Tips and Tricks for Male Users

Tinder is a great app for those who are looking for love or just a casual hookup. It's easy to use and has a lot of features that make it fun and exciting. However, if you're a male user, you need to know how to win Tinder. It's not easy, but with a little effort, you can succeed.

First, take a good look at yourself. What are your best qualities? How can you improve yourself? Remember, you are selling yourself, so put your best foot forward. Post good photos that show you doing fun activities that cater to the girl you are looking for. If you want a fit girl, post pics of yourself in the gym. If you can't play guitar, post a pic of yourself with one anyway. Trust me on this one.

Also, learn how to play guitar. It's a great way to impress the ladies.

Do something unique in your profile. Post a funny joke, a funny acronym, or a pic of yourself doing something that nobody else is doing like skydiving. Remember that you are competing with thousands of other guys for a small handful of women. Be competitive!

Learn how to talk to women. Just telling a girl "hey" isn't going to win her over. Convey yourself as interesting, funny, sweet, and more importantly, positive. Don't drone about how horrible things are in your life. Talk about how awesome your job is, share funny stories, or talk about the new guitar you just bought because some cool stranger told you to learn guitar (wink, wink).

If you really want to up your game, buy Tinder Platinum for a month. Just make sure you manage your payment options so they don't charge you for multiple months. Why? Because you need to hide your age and distance. Girls are going to pick apart every detail, and what they don't know won't hurt you.

Be wary of the countless fake, dead, or scam accounts on the site. I added a pic of a "woman" who obviously photoshopped a pic "she" stole from an image search. Also be on the lookout for profiles that are vague, have poor English ("Ask me what i do"), or use pics that were clearly stolen off of some chick's social media.

Here's the secret to winning Tinder. Smash that like button like a caveman! Then after that, change your location to London or something, and smash dislike for twice as long as you did the like button. You have to beat the algorithm here, otherwise your profile will sink to the bottom of the "deck" and the likes will stop.

If you're a female user, just exist. That's all you need to do. The guys will come to you.

Tinder Tinder Gold Review: Pros and Cons of the Premium Service

So, I heard a lot about Tinder and decided to give it a try. I started with the free version, but then I thought, why not try the Gold option? I wanted to see what all the fuss was about and how matches worked. I swiped in over 60 countries and cities, and I got hundreds of matches. Some of them I haven't even messaged yet. After one full month of using Tinder Gold, I have a few things to say about it.

First of all, their customer service is terrible. Even as a paid member, I had an issue twice where it wouldn't show any matches at all. I emailed them about it, and two days later, they replied with a basic thing to try, which didn't work. I sent another email to let them know that I still couldn't use the service, but they never replied. I had to search the web to fix the issue. So, if you're paying for their premium service and you're having trouble, you're on your own!

Secondly, there are a lot of fake profiles on Tinder. Despite requiring phone verification or Facebook, they have one of the highest rates of fake accounts of any dating app. If you're not sure if someone is real, add them on WhatsApp and see if they're willing to video call. This will eventually weed out the fakes.

Thirdly, watch out for scams. Some people will ask for money for groceries, college, or sick kids. Others will ask for money for photos or videos. Be careful and don't fall for these scams.

Lastly, Tinder is primarily used for escorts and massage therapy. If you're looking for a serious relationship or even just a real conversation, this is not the app to use. If you're just looking to meet or have a one-night stand with random people, then this is perfect. Just be careful and make sure to see people on video first.

After one month, I haven't met anyone in person, but I wasn't actively searching. If you're paying for a "virtual passport," why waste it swiping in your own location? Also, after having hundreds of conversations, 99% of them were unmatched or deleted from WhatsApp. Only one match remains an active normal conversation.

In conclusion, if you're a man searching for a woman between the ages of 23 and 50, and you're looking for matches worldwide, then Tinder might be worth a try. Just be aware of the issues I mentioned above.

Tinder My Disappointing Experience with Tinder: Bottom of the Barrel Guys Looking for Hookups and Ex-Wife Talk

So, I tried Tinder because some people I know said they found love on there. I've been on and off the app a few times now, and I gotta say, the guys I talked to were not my type at all. I only met two of them in person, and they were nothing like their pictures. One guy was way overweight and talked about his ex-wife the whole time, and the other guy cussed like a sailor and asked me inappropriate questions. The other guys I talked to on the phone were just as bad. They either talked about their ex-wives or themselves, or they were just looking for a hookup. And don't even get me started on the ones who were already in relationships or married. It's like these guys are the bottom of the barrel. They couldn't even hold an intelligent conversation. One guy asked me what my favorite color was, like he had no idea how to talk to a woman. It was a waste of time for me, and I swiped left so many times. These guys were between 35-45 years old, and it's just sad. I was hoping to find someone to date and get to know, but these guys didn't even make it to that level.

Tinder Tinder's Customer Service is a Joke: My Experience Being Banned Without Explanation

I gotta say, I've had some pretty bad experiences with companies before, but Tinder takes the cake. I mean, come on, they're a multimillion-dollar company and they can't even provide decent customer service? As someone who works in customer service myself, I'm appalled by the way they've treated me.

So here's the deal: I got banned from Tinder for apparently violating their terms of service and community guidelines. But get this, I have no idea what I did wrong. I mean, I've read their guidelines and I haven't done anything offensive or spammy. I don't even message people on there. So why was I banned? I have no clue.

I reached out to their customer service email to ask what was going on, and the responses I got were just ridiculous. First, I got an email from someone named Wayne who basically just repeated the same thing over and over again about how they take violations seriously and there are no appeals. Then I got an email from Sophia who said she couldn't give me any information. Like, what kind of customer service is that?

I kept asking for more information, but all I got were the same copy-and-paste responses from different people. Finally, I asked to speak to a manager and got an email from Mark saying they take violations seriously and won't respond to any more emails. Like, seriously? That's the best you can do?

Here's the thing, though. I think I know why I got banned. I got a message from some guy asking if I wanted to sit on his face (ew), and I ignored it. The next day, I was banned. So it seems like Tinder is more interested in punishing victims of harassment than actually dealing with the harassers themselves. And when someone speaks out about it, they just get ignored.

Honestly, I'm pretty disappointed in Tinder. They're promoting harassment and punishing people who don't deserve it. Not cool, Tinder. Not cool at all.

Tinder Tinder Review: A Good Idea with Flaws for Finding Casual Relationships and Friends in the Bay Area

So, I recently tried out Tinder and I have to say, the app idea itself is pretty great. However, I did run into some issues. Let me preface this by saying that I am a 48-year-old man who is in good shape and retired. I am also in an open marriage, which is something that not everyone is comfortable with.

I was looking for friendship and intimacy with women aged 30-50 in the Bay Area, but it seems like the women in this area are all overachievers who are more interested in showing off their accomplishments than actually getting to know someone. They all want a long-term relationship, which is fine, but it seems like they are more interested in finding someone who will commit to them forever than actually getting to know someone on a deeper level.

One woman I talked to was really nice, but she was put off by the fact that I was two inches shorter than her. Apparently, that's a big deal in California. You also have to list your height and other details about yourself in your profile, which can be a bit tedious.

If you do match with someone, the messaging system is well done. However, I did end up buying a subscription for around $20 just for one month. I also found that there were a lot of women who were looking for their next husband and weren't serious about actually getting to know someone.

Overall, I think Tinder is a good idea, but it may not be the best option for everyone. If you're over 40 and looking for a partner with your vitality and passion, you may have a hard time finding someone on Tinder. However, if you're younger and looking for something more casual, it may be a better fit.

I also want to caution people against using Ashley Madison and Wild, which are both scams. Fet Life can be okay, but it works best for non-hetero friends. I may try OK Cupid next and just be brutally honest about my situation.

In conclusion, while Tinder has its flaws, it's still a decent option for meeting new people. Just be prepared to deal with some narcissistic overachievers and be clear about what you're looking for in your profile. And if you're in an open marriage like me, be prepared for some judgment and drama.

Tinder Tinderella: How I Found Love on a Dating App in Just 20 Days

Swipe, swipe, swipe... I was getting bored with the selection of people that kept popping up on Tinder. But then, I stumbled across a profile of a guy sitting on a shelf with glasses and his hands in the "Spider-man webbing" motion. I was intrigued by what kind of a nerd this guy might have been, so I checked out his profile in more depth.

"Male. 23. Ca." His description read, "As long as I have a face you'll always have a place to sit." My first thought was, "This guy can't be serious... what a [censored]bag." But then I went through his pictures one last time before I continued on to the next profile. I stopped for a moment and thought, "What the hell... he's cute we'll see what happens." I swiped right and continued on.

Later that night, I noticed I had an inbox full of matches with messages that read various different things: "Hi. How are you?" "You're beautiful. I'd love to meet in person." "Those eyes with that hair..." etc. And then I stumbled across one that read, "What's a girl like you doing in Fresno?" Sarcastic as can be, I responded, "Just trying to survive." We hit it off immediately. The conversation flew effortlessly back and forth for hours. It was real... well as real as it could have been over the internet. He was so charming and sweet. Very witty and so quick to come up with a funny response. He seemed so fun and full of life.

After all the flirting and late-night conversation, he convinced me to have a drink at the restaurant he worked at and SWORE that this drink was by far one of the best drinks I'd ever have. I made sure to warn him I don't like alcohol and I'm very picky when it comes to the things I drink...

It was a Friday night. I walked in recognizing him right away. He greeted me at the table and did his best to impress me. Drink after drink, I turned them all down. "That one's too sweet." "That one's too spicy." "That one's just flat out awful!" I'm sure by this point he felt defeated. THEN he remembered he asked his buddy for the recipe of a very specific drink. He made it and brought it to my table anticipating what my response might be at this point. I took a sip and absolutely loved it.

We decided to head over to Yard House as soon as his shift was over. We hit it off. He was just as funny if not MORE funny in person as he was through text. He was the perfect balance of funny, dorky, and charming all in one... it worked.

Drink after drink, time flew by. We talked about everything... how long we lived in town... our parents. Our siblings. Music-likes and dislikes... high school... We talked about our friends. How HIS friends thought that this chick was too good to be true... and how they teased him making it clear that they thought I was a fake profile... and IF I were actually real... I must be a transgender woman because I was "too pretty". Shocked and slightly offended, I agreed to take a picture with him so he could send it to his buddies to prove that I am indeed "real". Before we knew it, the restaurant was closing.

Disappointed that the night was close to over, we decided to get a quick bite to eat. When you're drunk... and hungry... where do you end up? TACO BELL. We got Taco Bell and after a night of not liking any of the drinks I ordered and passing them along to him... not realizing it would slowly catch up with him... he was drunk. We had a drunk make-out session which led to him inviting me inside, and I respectfully declined. Realizing this was not what I wanted.

The next morning, remembering most of the night but the clearest memory of all was how drunk and sloppy we got. I didn't want someone to fool around with and then disappear once it got boring. I didn't want to waste his time, and I certainly didn't want to waste any more of my time. He texted me. I didn't respond. He texted me again a different day. I had a short response declining his proposal to go on a second date. He texted me one last time, and again... I didn't respond. I'm pretty sure he got the message.

Little did he know that just like Cinderella, I would disappear... and he would no longer see me. BUT little did I know that twenty long days later, I would be right back for a second date with Prince Charming.

Twenty days later, a girlfriend of mine wanted to meet up at his work to have drinks. She was meeting a guy she hadn't seen in a while and wanted me to come along. I stressed the fact that I couldn't go back there and how I went on a date with a guy then never responded when he texted me. She convinced me to text him and to ask if he was working. So I did... He replied, and we met up at his work. Again, we had so much fun talking and laughing at random stupid things. So, I decided to give it another chance.

Here we are nine months later, and I couldn't imagine myself dating anyone else. I can't put into words how lucky and grateful I am to have this man in my life. He turned out to be one of the most amazing, caring, and genuine guys I've ever met.

If I didn't believe in fate before meeting him... I certainly do now. If it weren't for Tinder, his stupid pick-up line description, and my friend convincing me to text him back, I would have never found the man of my dreams.

P.s. It Only Took 20 Days.

Sincerely,
Tinderella

Tinder The worst customer service you will ever receive

I have never had a worse experience dealing with someone representing a company (a multimillion one at that). As someone who is a customer service rep, I am appalled by the responses I have received from Tinder.

I have been banned from using this app. You may be asking "why?" Well I'll be happy to inform you that I do not know. I went to scroll through, as I usually do when I am bored to find I've been banned. The screen simply states that I have "violated the terms and service and community guidelines." I'm shocked, as I indeed have read their guidelines. I have not violated a single one. My account is my account, I have nothing offensive anywhere, nor do I message people (so no offense or spam there). I have not tried to sell anything or promote anything either. So what did I do? Well I contacted tinders customer service email asking why I was banned. To which they (someone named Wayne) replied "we take violations of the Terms and Service and Community Guidelines very seriously." They go on to say that there are no appeals and I can never make one again. I ask again, I would like to know what it is I did that violated, as I'd like to know for my own volition. I receive an identical email, this time from someone named Sophia, except she included one sentence saying that she can't give me any information.

I respond that this isn't okay whatsoever. I have never once asked for my account to be reinstated, as all I'd like to know is what I've done wrong. I told them that this is poor customer service and that I HAVE read the terms and have violated NONE, hence me asking. I receive another email in response, this time from Ronald, who states that "they take violations of terms and services very seriously" another exact copy and more links to their terms, as if I haven't read them already.

I sent them a very detailed email, and I receive another exact email because they're too lazy to look into any claims or false reports people make? I told Ronald to forward me to the manager, because I'd like a response that isn't the same one, and I'd just like to fully understand, or at least be heard. In response to my asking for someone in charge, Mark so graciously sent an email stating that "they take violations to the terms and services very seriously?" adding in at the very end that they will no longer respond to any emails.

So I have been banned, and then ignored. And I think I know exactly why I was banned. I received a message from some guy who asked if I'd like to sit on his face (which I ignored) and then suddenly was banned the following day. Tinder for a fact condones poor behavior and sexual harassment from users. Any victim is punished by banning them and then allowing it to continue on. Anyone who tries to speak out is ignore and told all bans are final.

I hope your proud Tinder. You company promotes harrassment. Good job

Tinder Tinder- better than most apps but Bay Area Ca sucks!

First off Im 48, not at all ugly, and in good shape, and retired?! The app idea itself is great- my problem is Im in an open marriage- yeah well sorry after years of working on our intimacy shes gone through child birth and menopause and intimacy really low and mine is not! We decided I can go oustside. Im still prefacing this all: I am a personable attractive person looking for friendship and intimacy- that is apparently NOT OK with womens 30-50 in Bay Area Ca. Well the women in this area my age are obviously over achievers and well, narcissistic yet they all want LTR. Hey I have flown planes, jumped out of perfectly good ones, rode motorcycles, travelled, freelance author, educated but they have to show u pix of themselves doing what I just said- if I did that I hope people would laugh at such a show off?! I talked to a really nice rubenesque (I like that- sometimes they are a lot less vain) and we were having a really great talk ab everything! I forgot to put my height on my profile- so I was 2 shorter than her and that would throw off her mojo?!?! That is soooo Ca. Female!
So u have to list your height and that u are a good person and honest (I always have been) and that you arent a man and you will commit to LTR forever just because they can take selfies and list every accomplishment?
Venting here- Ill stop. You have to be clear on your little write up of yourself- heres the critique: the write up area should contain more characters so you can provide EVERY detail for what is really your interview! If u both swipe that u like each others page it opens a text bubble and you can choose to converse- very well done. I did buy a subscription that needs this all up for around $20 just for one month. Since Im obviously in the evil poly category now, I should have listed that although plenty are like yuck poly (Im going skydiving and taking care of me- come get me Im so much more awesome- thats why Im single). I did see some decent people who identified as poly and even less women in their 50s who were a little too far out there?! Hey its Ca. So people gotta throw in the no trump supporters or conservatives. Wow really? So sorry to rant but the Tinder idea is inspired but in Bay Area Ca. Its a joke. Lots of attractive ladies my age with kids single looking for their next husband?!? Nothing on their profile and not serious ab this at all. Then they will grill you until they know ur in no way looking to have any quality time with a lady but only job interview for LTR. Perhaps younger folks have a better time because theres so much sex drugs n podcasts? FYI stay away from Ashley Madison and Wild which are total scams to make u buy tokens with fake people trying to talk to you. Also Fet Life can be OK but I believe it works best with my non-hetero friends. I may try OK Cupid and just be brutally honest. I thought I had a pretty entertaining Tinder page that was descriptive, good pix, humorous, real. Some barely took the time to read it before responding. It could just be me in my situation: over forty and craving a partner with my vitality and passion and friendship- I guess thats just me being shallow. This is just being honest: many women are going through menopause and child birth really curtails sex for them- just nature. Well there is always that 30 something mother of my friends of my son who has been hitting on me and wants an affair- damn what? Like I need that drama in my life! Isnt that overture a little more inappropriate than what Im trying to do?

Tinder Tinder, The Final Insult

With the Evil Empire having acquired all of the major online dating sites -- and now moving into the app business -- I had hoped to make use of Tinder before it was rendered useless. However, I was too late. And when Match Corp. took over OKCupid, the same transformation had taken place. The devious and outright fraudulent behavior that is so openly evident with OKC, Match and POF is now clearly present in the Tinder software system. In other words, the same diabolical programming that has been pulling this on everyone who used their online dating sites is now installed and in operation with Tinder. People who join can look forward to the following special features: real persons who have swiped right on your profile and Liked You are deliberately kept invisible. Instead, you will be treated to a pre-selected small number of either company made faked profiles, or inactive ones that they have elected to put on your activity page. This is also the case concerning the supposed matches, although a little more effort is made to keep you hooked, by having one of their illiterate operatives feign a conversation with you. These must be the budget variety of cyber criminals hired by Tinder -- because they can hardly spell or punctuate.

As with Match -- and its wicked associates operating under the different names listed above -- the idea with Tinder is to keep you hanging on, believing that your lack of success is due to your photos being unattractive or perhaps your essay wording not being quite right. This leads to endless revisions by people, thinking they just have to improve their profiles a little to make the system work. The Tinder ownership and management must find this to be amusing, since they are running a site which is designed to prevent people from finding each other.

In my other review here, I opened up OKCupid like a Christmas turkey -- and went into great detail about how the system programmers for Match Corp. have created a completely artificial environment for the members to experience on their dating sites. Welcome to Tinder. The other real members on the site either can't see you at all, or, they do see you -- but when swiping right -- you never see it shown on your message page (Tinder Plus). It's tough to take, but those hours of sifting through hundreds of profiles on Tinder weren't going to be productive of anything. The system is designed to prevent you from meeting anyone. Please re-read that last sentence, slowly. Yes, and that is the horrible truth about the Evil Empire's dating sites and its outright contempt for good people.

The number of real profiles I've read -- with the gals lamenting that the guys match, but never say anything -- are astronomical. I hate seeing this happening and it was part of my inspiration to contribute here on the review site. Yes, well, OF COURSE they don't say anything to you -- they can't. They don't really exist. The guy you right swiped on is probably already married to someone and doesn't even know that he's still being featured on the site. This is the same for us guys, with the stream of inactive profiles to plow through -- and of course -- there's the site-made variety of faked accounts to consider. Personally, I prefer the crooks on OKC, because they can at least carry a conversation. The pay rate is clearly better for the cowards and losers employed by Match and OKC to defraud people. Let's examine some of the writing by the company paid fraud artists used by Tinder, shall we? It's time for some comic relief. It's been reported here that Bumble appears to have all of its profiles written by the same person? Yes, they are. Whoever said that is dead on and thank you for contributing to the effort here. Oh yes, I wasted my time and money there for a while. I then went to Clover, in the hope of finding an independent app that wasn't doing this to people. Well, ahem, there are no real members even active on the entire site. Stay away. Jeesh, I got off track there. Let's get back to the comedians who pretend to be members on Tinder. Some of my favorite sayings in the phony women's profiles, which are repeated HUNDREDS of times in the company made fakes, are the following (and notice the spelling): *** I love to wear six inch heals *** please don't waist my time here ***. Well, I do hope that their shoes HEAL them and that their WAIST is OK. Good grief. That's rather shocking grammar usage for gals listed as being CEO's in their profiles! And remember, these aren't independent scammers from Nigeria doing this, these are people employed by Tinder.

I'm afraid that with the monopoly now in place by the Evil Empire, we are all stranded and have been betrayed by the horrible ownership and people participating in these company made hoaxes. Lastly, I would say that if these phone app companies were honest, they'd be fantastic. I like the simplicity of using them. And although I'm not into hook-ups, it's clear that the ORIGINAL Tinder was a terrific app -- and thousands of real people found real people there. That sounds nice, doesn't it? We are presently in a world of darkness in the online dating industry and the commission of fraud by this corporation's dating site companies is being done RIGHT OUT IN THE OPEN now. Be on the lookout for the next wave of smaller dating sites being gobbled up by Match Group, as a complete monopoly is presently taking place.

Just remember this: it wasn't YOU being rejected on these sites -- it was the greed minded Match Group Inc. ownership, the trick software systems now being used by them -- and their scummy henchmen -- that engineered your bad experiences there. (And I do hope some of them are reading this). It's almost like we need a giant Pest Control Exterminator Service to come in and just sterilize the entire online dating industry. Seriously. And then, perhaps, a new dawn.

As always, many thanks to the folks who took the time to write in about their experiences with the new Tinder here. I marvel at the other review sites online that are showing 4 1/2 stars as a review rating for this app! Oh yes, the Evil Empire also has its operatives running convincing fake review sites -- and there's several of them presently active. Keep in mind that the revenue generated by Match Group and its crime syndicate is in the hundreds of millions of dollars. They can afford to buy as many phony review sites as they see fit.

My compliments to the ownership of this site, in providing a free speech forum to help us all from being taken advantage of. It has helped me many times.

Take care everyone. Peace.
And don't let me catch you on one of those awful sites again.
Promise? OK. :)

Is Tinder Legit?

Tinder earns a trustworthiness rating of 91%

Highly recommended, but caution will not hurt.

Our conclusion: After a detailed review, ComplaintsBoard finds Tinder to be a trustworthy company. Although there's a 1% resolution rate for customer complaints, which deserves attention, Tinder is known for their high standards and safety. If you're thinking about dealing with Tinder, it's wise to check how they handle complaints.

Tinder has received 8 positive reviews on our site. This is a good sign and indicates a safe and reliable experience for customers who choose to work with the company.

Gotinder.com has a valid SSL certificate, which indicates that the website is secure and trustworthy. Look for the padlock icon in the browser and the "https" prefix in the URL to confirm that the website is using SSL.

Several positive reviews for Tinder have been found on various review sites. While this may be a good sign, it is important to approach these reviews with caution and consider the possibility of fake or biased reviews.

We looked up Tinder and found that the website is receiving a high amount of traffic. This could be a sign of a popular and trustworthy website, but it is still important to exercise caution and verify the legitimacy of the site before sharing any personal or financial information

This website offers payment methods that provide the option for customers to get their money back, which could be a positive indicator of the company's commitment to customer satisfaction.

However ComplaintsBoard has detected that:

  • While Tinder has a high level of trust, our investigation has revealed that the company's complaint resolution process is inadequate and ineffective. As a result, only 1% of 493 complaints are resolved. The support team may have poor customer service skills, lack of training, or not be well-equipped to handle customer complaints.
  • Tinder protects their ownership data, a common and legal practice. However, from our perspective, this lack of transparency can impede trust and accountability, which are essential for establishing a credible and respected business entity.

I have been using this service for a while, more than a year or two. The service I have received from you has been abysmal, I have tried all of the tips that you offer and still no matches. As a a company that is supposed to offer a service which provides us with ways to meet people it has failed. Whilst I understand that I cannot always expect a match I have had minimal during my time using the app.

Hi, I have my private modus on, I pay for it since many years, but I discovered it does not work. I did not find out before because I did not open the app in ages and now I realise that all this time I was completely visible to everybody. I am very disappointed, because I trusted you that by paying and by activitauting the privacy modus I was invisible...

Tinder Tinder gold membership

I joined tinder and could not get authenticated. So I never actually had any dates. After numerous days of not being unable to authenticate my photos I was banned. The ban was lifted for about an hour and then, and again I have looked at the terms and conditions, and I haven’t violated any of them I barely used the app, I have lodged so many enquiries into why I was banned, and I’ve got nowhere with the replies from Tinder. I have asked what their complaints policies are and if I could possibly speak to a human or a robot. I have now suggested that I send them ID passport, driving license et cetera but I’m still not getting any replies that are helpful.

Desired outcome: Refund De blockedan explanation of why I was banned

Tinder Customer Service

Had an email out of the blue saying I had been banned for violating terms of use and/or community guidelines and wouldn't be able to sign up with them ever again.

When I asked why I had been banned as I hadn't done anything to warrant a ban, the Tinder reply from Madeline was

"Hello,

Thanks for following up.

Unfortunately, we cannot provide any more detailed information at this time."

Desired outcome: My account reinstated because I had paid money on subscriptions to speak to/meet women and the women I had been speaking to suddenly gone because everything has been deleted.

Tinder Tinder banned

As with many people I was banned for now reasons. Customer service is horrendous. They don't listen or help in any way.

No way to find out why.

I kept getting the verification pics which I completed correctly and they then tell me I'm banned.

I was using it fine up until then and had even met someone on it. I then deleted my account but as the relationship didn't work out I re set this up .

Playstore shows many reviews with the same issue

Desired outcome: Explanation as to why you are banned or an appeals service.

Tinder Disappointing Experience with Tinder: Banned Account and No Customer Support

I have to say, my experience with Tinder was not a good one. I decided to go all-in and purchase a platinum subscription for a whole year. I was excited to see what the app had to offer and was hoping to find love. However, after only four months of using the app, my account was banned without any warning or explanation.

I was devastated and confused. I had never violated any rules or been rude to anyone on the platform. I reached out to customer support multiple times, hoping to get some answers. I explained that my profile was genuine, my pictures were real, and I had always been polite in my interactions with other users. However, all I received in response was a generic message saying that I had violated community rules and that they would not be providing any further assistance.

I was left feeling frustrated and cheated. I had paid for a year-long subscription and had not even received an explanation for why my account was banned. To make matters worse, I was not eligible for a refund from either Tinder or Apple because the payment had been made more than 60 days ago.

Overall, I would not recommend Tinder to anyone. It is not a fair or ethical company, and their customer support is non-existent. If you are looking for a dating app, I would suggest looking elsewhere. Save your money and your time, and avoid Tinder at all costs.

Tinder Tinder: Not All It's Cracked Up to Be - A Disappointing Experience with the Popular Dating App

So, I heard about Tinder and thought I'd give it a go. I mean, everyone's talking about it, right? But let me tell you, it's not all it's cracked up to be. First off, it's all about looks. You don't get any info on a person's personality or interests. I mean, come on, I want to know if we have anything in common before I waste my time chatting with someone who's not on the same page as me. I want to know if they're into the same things as me, or if they're looking for something serious or just a fling.

And then there's the fact that guys just swipe right on everyone to up their chances of getting matches. It's frustrating because when you do match with someone, they don't even bother to reply. I've had about 10 or 11 matches so far, and only one guy messaged me first. And when I replied, he never responded. The rest of the time, I was the one putting in all the effort. And even then, I didn't get any responses.

I try to be open-minded and give everyone a chance, but it seems like guys are just as picky as girls. I mean, I swiped right on guys who were overweight, but even then, some of them unmatched me after I messaged them. It's ridiculous how shallow people can be.

And don't even get me started on the fact that you have to use Facebook to make an account. Not everyone uses Facebook, you know. So if you don't have a Facebook account, you're at a huge disadvantage.

Overall, I'm not impressed with Tinder. It's not worth the time or effort. I think I'll try a different dating site or just give up on online dating altogether. It's just not for me.

Tinder Tinder Review: A Decent App for Casual Hookups and Short-Term Relationships

So, I decided to give Tinder a try and I must say, it wasn't too bad. The installation process was a breeze and I didn't encounter any issues while using the app. Mind you, I'm not a tech-savvy person, so that's saying something. I used the app for a couple of weeks for free and my profile was never randomly deleted, which is a common complaint among users.

Now, let's talk about the matches. You do get some matches here and there, but you won't be able to see who they are unless it's a double/mutual match. However, I must say that the app is filled with a lot of young girls, ranging from 18-year-olds to late 20-somethings. I'm not sure if they're all real users or if some of them are bots or spam accounts, but they do seem a bit vapid.

One thing that struck me was that many of these young girls were still posting their main profile pictures wearing a surgical mask. I mean, I get it, we're still in the middle of a pandemic, but it's a bit odd to see that as a profile picture. Some of them even state their vaccination status right at the outset of their profile. I guess that's understandable, but it does make me wonder if they're more interested in finding someone who's vaccinated rather than someone who's a good match for them.

Another thing that I noticed was that a lot of these young girls were asking people to hit them up on Instagram or Snapchat. I'm not sure if that's a common thing on Tinder, but it does seem a bit odd to me. Maybe I'm just old-fashioned, but I prefer to get to know someone on the app before moving on to other social media platforms.

Overall, I'd say that Tinder is a decent app to use if you're looking for a casual hookup or a short-term relationship. However, if you're over your mid to later-30s or if you're not into social media in general, you might not find many people on the app who share your interests. It's also worth noting that the very concept of swiping left or right based on one or two profile pictures is incredibly superficial and shallow. But hey, that's Tinder for you.

Tinder Why Tinder Isn't the Answer for Finding True Love: A Socially Anxious Person's Perspective

So, if you're anything like me and you suffer from some serious social anxiety, you've probably given Tinder or some other online dating app a try. I mean, it's a great way to dip your toes into the dating pool without having to actually leave your house, right? But let's be real here, folks. If you're looking for true love or your soulmate, you're barking up the wrong tree.

Don't get me wrong, Tinder is great for hookups. If you're just looking for a quick fling and nothing more, then this app is perfect for you. But if you're looking for something more meaningful, you're better off looking elsewhere. I mean, think about it. You're swiping left and right based solely on a few pictures and a short bio. How can you really get to know someone that way?

And even if you do happen to find someone on Tinder that you really connect with, chances are it's not going to end well. I hate to be a Debbie Downer, but it's true. More often than not, one of you is going to have some serious emotional baggage that will rear its ugly head at some point down the road. And let's face it, folks. That's not exactly a recipe for "happily ever after".

So, what's a socially anxious person to do? Well, for starters, I suggest talking to your friends more often. Let yourself go around people you feel comfortable with. And if you're feeling brave, try saying hello to someone you walk by on the street. You don't have to have a full-blown conversation, just a simple greeting and a smile will do. But whatever you do, don't rely on Tinder or any other online dating app to find true love. It's just not going to happen.

Now, I know there are plenty of people out there who have found love on Tinder. And hey, more power to them! But for those of us who struggle with anxiety and insecurity, it's important to remember that our chances of finding true love on an online dating app are slim to none. So, let's focus on building our confidence and meeting people in person. Who knows? Maybe we'll find our soulmate in the most unexpected of places.

Tinder Tinder Review: Frustrating App with Fake Profiles and Endless Ads

I gotta say, I've been using Tinder for a while now and while I've met a few cool people, I'm starting to get frustrated with the app. Every time I go through my matches and say no to someone, they seem to pop up again later on. I contacted Tinder support and they told me it's because people create new profiles, but I don't buy it. I mean, we're talking about hundreds of profiles here. It seems like Tinder just wants to keep me swiping so they can show me more ads.

And speaking of ads, I'm getting pretty tired of the constant push notifications telling me to log in and see who likes me. I don't pay for Tinder Gold, so I can't see who likes me unless we match. It's just a ploy to get me back on the app and generate more ad views.

Don't get me wrong, I have met a couple of nice people on Tinder. But it seems like there are a lot of fake profiles out there too. Tinder needs to do a better job of screening out bots and fakes. And they need to fix the problem where previously rejected profiles keep showing up. It's like the app "forgets" my choices.

I've even asked Tinder support if the problem has to do with traveling a certain distance and then coming back home, but they keep saying it's not an issue. Come on, Tinder, listen to your users and fix the problem. Otherwise, I might have to cancel my subscription.

Tinder Tinder: A Parade of Gargoyles and Cold-Hearted Liars - My Experience and Thoughts on the App

I recently tried out Tinder and boy was I in for a surprise. There were so many guys on there, but unfortunately, most of them were not my type. I mean, some of them were downright unattractive and looked like they didn't take care of themselves. It was like a parade of gargoyles!

I couldn't help but notice that a lot of these guys were just looking for hookups. They had cold-hearted smiles and looked like liars. It was obvious that they were just waiting to pounce on any woman who was looking for a little happiness.

It's sad that it has come to this. I think the French have it right with legalizing prostitution. Maybe if it was legal here, these guys would leave the nice women alone. They could just pay for what they want and leave the rest of us alone.

But it's not just about prostitution. Phone sex should be a paid professional service too. It's just another service, like lawyers. And if it was paid, maybe these guys wouldn't be so quick to harass women on the phone.

It's crazy that women are now being asked to provide sex on demand for free. How stupid are they? But I guess some women just want to be loved so badly that they'll fall for anything. It's the biggest new crime of 2021 - love by the numbers.

Overall, my experience on Tinder was not great. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who's looking for something serious. But if you're just looking for a hookup, then maybe it's worth a shot. Just be careful and don't give out your private cell phone number to a complete stranger!

Tinder Tinder Review: A Complete Waste of Time and Money - Beware of Scams and False Profiles!

Tinder, in my humble opinion, is a complete waste of time. I was a Premium Platinum paying member and I will never forgive myself for paying for Boosters that NEVER work. They only feed you foreigners who claim to be local. I was receiving about 40 likes a day, and all of them stated that they were in my city. However, when I would write to them, they were either in Thailand, Brazil, Venezuela, or somewhere else. Why does Tinder allow profiles to state different locations than where they actually are? It's just not right.

I have come to discover that Tinder is just a complete scam and an incomplete platform that just sucks money for no service or purpose. Besides all of this, I was still going to wait and see. Then all of a sudden today, I received a notification that my account had been banned, and I am in shock. I have never done anything wrong, and I have identical profiles at many other sites, yet I was banned without any explanation. I had NOT written anything, or been anything but polite and serious on the platform. I have never used any emotions or anger or any false photos, etc. There is absolutely no reason why I could have been banned, and yet I was.

After wasting so much time and so much money ONLY for headaches and having to talk to foreigners who had been falsely located by Tinder itself, I am now the bad guy? HAHAHA. PLEASE PEOPLE! I WARN YOU WITH ALL MY HEART AND SYMPATHY! STAY FAR FAR AWAY FROM TINDER! NOT ONLY IS IT GOING TO ROB YOU AND PROVIDE NO SERVICES, IT IS GOING TO DESTROY PEOPLE'S LIVES AS WELL! DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME! I PROMISE YOU! THERE IS NO LOVE, OR ANY REAL OR SERIOUS PEOPLE ON TINDER! ALL THE DIAMONDS AND GOOD SERIOUS PEOPLE HAVE REALIZED THAT AND LEFT OR BEEN BANNED FOR ABSOLUTELY NO REASON!

GOOD LUCK! TRY SOMETHING ELSE! SAVE YOURSELF THE HEADACHE, FINANCIAL LOSS, AND DISAPPOINTMENT! DON'T LET THIS EXPERIENCE/REVIEW BE FOR NOTHING! YOU HAVE BEEN FAIRLY WARNED!

Tinder Tinder Review: A Scam Full of Scammers and Catfish, Save Your Money and Try Match Instead

So, I decided to give Tinder a try after hearing about it for years. Gotta say, not too impressed with it so far. Seems like it's full of scammers and catfish, and they don't seem to be doing much about it. Plus, they'll charge you an arm and a leg if you're not careful (stay away from that blue lightning bolt, it's a trap!). I'm a gold member, which is my go-to when checking out dating or hookup sites, but even that hasn't helped much. I'm not a bad looking guy, and I've swiped through hundreds of women from all over Texas, but only four have matched with me. And I'm pretty sure one of them is a catfish (trying to figure out their game). So unfortunately, Tinder seems like a scam. And an expensive one at that - it's cost me about 70 bucks in less than a week. The boost feature is useless, too. Two of them said I had matches, but nope, no one was there.

But that's not all - there are also all these Snapchat subscription women, who want you to pay $25 to watch them masturbate. Not really my thing, personally - I'm more of a hands-on type. And then there are the actual prostitutes, who give you their Snapchat and a price list for their services. Some of them are really beautiful, if you're into that sort of thing. But good luck actually getting in touch with them - they've made it deliberately difficult, and if you do manage to reach them, they're not going to be much help.

I'm honestly surprised that Apple and PayPal allow them to use their services. And it's not like I have trouble getting women in real life - I'm far from ugly, and financially independent. But on Tinder, I've only gotten four matches in a week. Save your money, folks. If you want to date, try Match instead. Tinder is a scam - it's not the worst I've seen, but it definitely doesn't deliver what it promises.

Tinder Tinder Review: App's Secretive Algorithm and Vindictive Behavior Make It Difficult to Use and Get Visibility

Tinder is a dating app that has been around for a while now. However, it is not as user-friendly as it used to be. The app is too secretive and vindictive in the way it assigns your "score" or "visibility." It deals out extremely low scores or even suspected shadowbans and such. It is suspected to remember Facebook accounts/phone numbers and reassign low scores upon account deletion and re-creation, or penalize you in other ways. This makes it difficult to use the app in a reasonable way and get any kind of visibility.

If you are thinking of installing this app and liking a selective handful of profiles that you particularly like the look of, and expect those profiles to ever see yours, think again and choose another app/website. Basically, if you don't swipe right on somewhere approaching half of the profiles you see like some kind of horn dog, you will get a crap score/visibility. If you haven't used your account for a while, you get a crap score/visibility, and so on. It's like you're constantly fighting against it to stay above water, and that just isn't beneficial.

They orchestrate it like this, and periodically remove/ret?rd functionality, so that a minority of users will pay in an attempt to make it useable or restore functionality that was previously available for free. This obviously works out for Tinder business-wise because the amount of users that are deleting their accounts and will never touch the thing again, without having paid a single penny, is staggering and increasing every day. So they must be getting enough money from these few, paying users to make it worth it.

Oh, and now you have to repeatedly "verify" a phone number literally every few days just to be able to open the app. Yeah, that'll bring in more users and not annoy existing ones. It is a useful app if you are an Instagram or Snapchat slut and want to increase your followers, though. However, if you are looking for a genuine connection, this app may not be the best option for you.

Tinder Tinder's Terrible Customer Service: My Account Was Banned Without Explanation

I've been using Tinder for a few months now and I must say, it's been quite an experience. I've met and chatted with various men and it's been really enjoyable. However, about 4 weeks ago, I got a pop-up on my Tinder app that asked me to verify my identity for security reasons. It was a bit strange, but I went ahead and took 2 live photos of myself and sent them in. Little did I know that this would lead to my account being disabled pending a review due to "questionable conduct". I was so confused and had no idea what this was about. The message told me to wait for 2 hours while a decision was being made, but it took much longer than that.

The next morning, I tried to open my Tinder app and was shocked to see a pop-up that said my account had been banned. I was devastated and didn't know what to do. I tried to find a customer service phone number, but there was none. I was so frustrated that there was no person anywhere to talk to. I found a couple of help emails and sent in 2 emails apologizing for something that I wasn't even sure of. It's been 4 weeks now and I haven't received a single response. What a terrible company! They have no customer service and they even have the audacity to say online that they don't have to return emails from customers. I still have no idea what I did wrong to get banned. I wish I had an explanation because it might be a misunderstanding. They gave me no explanation, no warning, and no second chance. It was like one day I had my app and the next I didn't.

And which professional company does not have a customer service number you can call? What a terrible company! The people running it should be ashamed of themselves. Since when are consumers and citizens of the free world not given a chance or an explanation as to what they did? Where are my democratic rights as a consumer to not know why I got banned? Not even the courtesy of an email response. Since when are consumers in the free world not treated innocent until proven guilty? I don't know if someone made false claims against me or I've been mistaken for someone else. Nothing because they won't get back to me.

Apparently, I was reading the reviews online and this has happened to a lot of people. What a terrible company! I would highly warn people against joining this app because you will get no service or help when you need it. Tinder will ignore you and keep you in the dark. It's really frustrating and disappointing. I hope they improve their customer service and start treating their customers with respect.

Tinder Tinder

Hello,

I bought a Tinder Platinum subscription, and started to use the app. Then out of nowhere, my account was under review, which got resolved, my profile got verified, however I wasn't able to use the app, as I had absolutely zero exposure, even after profile boosts. After several emails that I sent them explaining their questionable terms and conditions and demanding an explanation why they are pretending to provide a service, take money and not provide anything (shadow banning), the full functionality of my profile was resumed, and I used the app for about another 10 days, after which it got banned again. All I did is I refused the sexual advances of a couple of creeps, and I got banned within hours after that. The customer service refuses to provide any explanation, they just keep repeating the same pointless phrases.

Desired outcome: I need to get my subscription and my profile back, including the wasted (stolen time), I need an apology letter, and an accurate explanation with proof, why my profile was banned.

About Tinder

Screenshot Tinder
Tinder is a popular dating app that has revolutionized the way people meet and connect with each other. The app was launched in 2012 and has since become a household name in the online dating world. With over 50 million users worldwide, Tinder has become the go-to app for singles looking to find love, hookups, or just casual dates.

The app is designed to be simple and user-friendly, with a swiping mechanism that allows users to quickly browse through profiles and decide whether they are interested in someone or not. Users can create a profile by linking their Facebook account or by using their phone number. They can then add photos, a bio, and other details about themselves to make their profile more attractive to potential matches.

One of the unique features of Tinder is its algorithm, which uses a complex set of factors to determine which profiles are shown to users. The algorithm takes into account factors like location, age, gender, and interests to match users with compatible profiles. This means that users are more likely to find matches that are a good fit for them, increasing their chances of finding a meaningful connection.

Tinder has also introduced several new features over the years to enhance the user experience. These include the ability to send GIFs, the option to add music to your profile, and the introduction of Tinder Social, which allows users to connect with groups of friends and meet new people together.

Overall, Tinder has become a cultural phenomenon, with millions of people using the app to find love, companionship, and casual dates. Its simple interface, powerful algorithm, and innovative features have made it one of the most popular dating apps in the world, and it shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon.
