I really don't understand the concept of Tinder for normal dating. If you are looking for a meaningful relationship then how can you do it only on the basis of a picture? How is that better than a picture and a profile? It seems backwards for regular dating.
I can understand it's appeal for pure hookups but as I stated in my other thread lots of women state "no hookups" then what is it supposed to be if you're only choosing a woman by her picture? Lots of other women in my other thread vehemently argued that it is a legit dating site where you can find the man of your dreams. Baloney I say!! In my view it's only for hookups and the women on there are absolutely delusional. If a sizable number of men on a regular dating site are looking for hookups then a site with only a picture and absent any other information, a purely superficial choice, is going to yield something better? Are you kidding me?
I have never understood and I guess I WILL never understand the "logic" women use...sigh!

The pictures help you decide quickly whether you find someone attractive enough to have a conversation with. The conversations help you decide whether you want to meet in person. Meeting in person helps you decide if there's any relationship potential. What's hard about that?
Well Tinder is a hook up app so sexual intercourse is the objective. It's so annoying when girls are on it then say no hook ups or are mad when men want sex.
That's like going to a steak house and being upset there are no vegetarian options.
I have my Tinder now set at age 21-25. 21 bc it's the legal drinking age and 25 is the cut off point.....that's pushing it may be even 24 instead.
Most women older than 25 are usually not open to hooking up and get mad when I suggest it so I just avoid higher than that age group.
I did come across one that was 26 and was open to hooking up but she came across too jaded and bitter and I didn't want to hear it so I just blocked her.

It is an easy way to expand your pool. I went on a few dates. One I even had a mutual acquaintance with. We even went to many of the same work conferences. I found a new conference happy hour buddy. *
*too bad he was in hookup mode. We went out a couple times but he was actually totally in line with what I'd call relationship material. :P. Oh well we are still in touch and even crossed the bridge into Facebook friends. Maybe the timing will work out better when he is over the I am having fun after my divorce phase. . He usually hooked up with sorority girls and reality was we just had too much real stuff in common.

I strongly disagree with the above. There's a plethora of horny cougars out there, my friend.

You see a picture, then you meet in person and see if there's chemistry.
Just like in real life - first you see someone, then you get to know them better.
I have had very little success with ages above 25. It might just be my luck. I did get rid of all my suit pics and just put things that show off my physique.
The suit pics scream LTR. I did talk for awhile to some really nice women over 25 who would have been decent gfs.
I'd certainly be open to cougars as well as they have more maturity but most are looking for a husband or something....
