I keep telling my single friends that I’m hella glad that I was out of the dating game before Tinder was a thing. Back in my heyday, I was looking for quick and easy hookups with minimal time spent in the “getting to know you” phase of things. That’s why I surfed on Craig’s when I was hunting for cumshots.
People always said that I was a unicorn though. Everyone I came in contact with said that I was the only person that they were able to hook up with off of the website. This has everything to do with the fact that I fancy myself a sexual adventurer and not many other people do. On any given Friday night, I was able to secure dates for the entire weekend, sometimes doubling up on Saturdays and Sundays because I would never turn down an afternoon delight.
The magic wasn’t in the website or the format of the website, but in the user and how they decide to use the dating tool.
Because that’s what these interfaces are.
They are tools that help you meet people that you want to bang.
Now that people are using apps like Tinder, there is even less information to go by. It’s the THINK FAST!!!! Way of doing things that I’m not comfortable with.
I use to give men two message exchanges before I decided if they were worth my time. If the introduction message was bad, they got put on the, “Do not fuck,” list. If the intro was OK, I’d write back to them with a charming message and the second message was the actual test. If dude was a creeper, he got blacklisted. If he wasn’t a creep and was able to compose sentences in my general direction, he was getting my “fake” Google Voice number. One phone call to verify non-creep status was all that it took to meet up in person…and provided you didn’t toss a plate of spaghetti in my lap during the date, I was going to swallow your dick and sit on your face until dawn.
I was never comfortable with judging my dates by their pictures alone…and that’s what Tinder seems to me.
The good news/bad news is that a recent study published in Science Direct says that people on Tinder aren’t having as much luck as any other website. People aren’t hooking up just because it’s easy to swipe right or left. It’s the same Internet dating game that’s been going on since the beginning. People are horny, they want to bang…but finding the right (now) person to get in between the sheets takes a bit of finesse. Users are interested in having no-strings-attached sex, but tons of people are still figuring out how to make that happen.
My trick was always talking to people like they were, you know…people. Common interests lead to sexual chemistry, even if it’s only a one night stand that you’re looking for. Being upfront and honest about your expectations helps too. If your partner isn’t doing it for you, communicate that and explain to them what they need to do to get you off.
