How Tinder Works
If you're new to Tinder, let me give you a quick introduction. You download the app to your smartphone and log on with your Facebook account; this is all you have to do to create your Tinder profile, which essentially is a cut-down version of your Facebook profile containing no more than a few album pictures of your choice, a very short description of yourself and a list of common friends or interests where applicable. There's no way for other users to see your full Facebook profile, nor is there any way for your Facebook friends to know that you are on Tinder.
When you've logged on to the app, it starts suggesting girls based on information from Facebook and geographical location. You have the option to "like" or "dislike" them as they show up; they won't get a direct notification when you do so though, they'll have to wait until the app shows them your profile. When two people like each other, they're both informed about the match, and they get the option to start sending each other messages.
These mechanisms make Tinder very popular among girls; they don't have to worry about getting tons of messages from guys they don't want to talk to, and they tend to get hooked on the idea of "getting matches". The app feels more like a social network than a dating service, and the fact that you won't get notifications when somebody gives you the thumbs down means you never really have to feel rejected. This is good news for you as well; the first step towards meeting an awesome girl is to go some place where there are a lot of awesome girls, and Tinder most definitely fits that description. Sure, some of the girls may view the app as a novelty, as something fun to do on the bus, and they may not be planning to actually meet a guy from Tinder in real life... but even so, when the right profile shows up, they'll often end up doing so anyway.
With that out of the way, let's get down to the real issue: how do you get matches on Tinder? You should start with some tricks that are quick and easy to implement. For instance, did you know that it's possible to double the amount of matches you get with three simple tweaks?
