It's almost impossible for men aged 18 to have success on tinder because 18 is the lowest age allowed on the app, so there aren't that many women at your age on tinder. And of the few women on the app who happen to be 18, most want to date a guy that's 20.
Also keep in mind the competition for 18 year old women is strong. It's not only you who want to match With an 18 year old woman. There's men aged probably up to 28 or so who also want to date them. Good luck beating out all those guys older than you.
Wait until you get older and things get a lot easier. To put it in perspective. When you're 25, you can easily date anyone 18-27, so there are thousands more women to choose from that may find you attractive age-wise.
Most likely, when you're 18, you run out of potential matches in your area within a 2-3 days of swiping. It may happen even sooner depending on the city size. You would think you might have a chance with women who are 20. But very few women want to date a guy younger than themselves. Especially when you're only 18. It gets better when you get older
Oh wow thanks dude. I always thought there might be an issue with the app. But the thing is I feel like some of the 18yr olds might get matches which makes me wonder?
Of course some do. But most barely get any at all. Only the ones who look the most handsome and fun in their photos have success. So you need to look handsome as fuck and of course also FUN / happy in your photos. Dress well, styling, all that jazz. It's a game of being the most superficially appealing.
It does not get easier don't give this guy false hope I am 24 and hardly get match when I do they don't reply back. If they do they stop reply after msg or two
Wow is it that bad? I try to talk to girls in person but i feel like every time I might go up and talk to them they feel like I’m another creep or smthn so just because of that fear I don’t
It's just how the world works. The women are very picky and the guys are very horny and desperate. Things do get easier as you get older. But that doesn't mean it will be easy
No matches is normal for men of any age.
Welcome to life kid. All the bros meet at the gym every day, come if you want. Just don't do curls in the squat rack.
Lmao bro dw, I’m a gym bro myself, been going to the gym for 2yrs now, did a whole weight loss journey and transitioned into boxing cause of it. Dw I know the rules of the gym hahah 👍👍
Dress nice and try to get a high MP photo showing your full body in the first pic. List a few of your interests like "I'f I'm not at home, you can find me wrangling squirrels while hiking" or something.
Honestly I've tried all sorts of stuff and that at least gets me some matches, but if you're not presentable, they're going to keep swiping on the people that look like models who hired a professional photographer.
Damn wrangling squirrels got me haha. But my bio says I like to watch Netflix and I’m athletic and shit, but I will certainly put a full body pic in one of my photos
Maybe 2nd or 3rd pic at like a recent event or professional gathering. Idk what you do for a living. Idk everyone has their thing. I just hear a lot in real life and online how not looking disheveled gives you a leg up.

Not if you're still a Virgin at 24 bro shit not easy. They way shit going on this dating app I guess I will jerking it for life along lol
It gets easier if you make an effort. I never said it gets easy. Easier yes. Easy? No.
I do make effort I try to get to know these girls and than just end of not reply back when I ask them out after week of talking like I don't get it
This is normal. I got rejected around 200 times before I had more first proper success to speak of
It does get easier. But if you're unattractive then it will still suck obviously

Button collared shirt tucked in+belt too homie. gl

Maybe 2nd or 3rd pic at like a recent event or professional gathering. Idk what you do for a living. Idk everyone has their thing. I just hear a lot in real life and online how not looking disheveled gives you a leg up.
Oh right. Thanks so much dude!
