I get a million guys that match with me but most don't message me.
Exactly my point.
With the gays on Grindr both sides get the "internet courage" to make a chat move (where they might have been too shy to do so in person), so stuff happens pretty often.
With the straight crowd on Tinder, the women generally behave no differently than they do in person...ignoring most and expecting to be approached as opposed to doing any of the approaching. So what's the point of even playing this game if half of the participants aren't really playing?

Most of the time when I've made the first move online or in person I've gotten rejected. I'd rather the guy get rejected first.
I tried it like a year ago and met a grand total of one person before it got totally tedious. It's mostly just another way for time wasting and attention whoring. No way was an app like this for straight people going to have the same impact that it does for the gay crowd. The straight mating process just doesn't work quite that way.
Tinder would be more fun if women were as promiscuous as gay men are. LOL

If she matched up with you, that should be enough incentive for you to send her a message if you're actually interested. Yes, women will still behave like women on Tinder, and they don't need to message you first when they have other matches who will message them.

Whut? I didn't know buttsex was "mating" - they can have kids?
JK, I know what you're saying.
BTW can anyone answer my previous question? I am having issues on my phone. Is that a common problem?

No different from my experience on OKC in terms of messaging them first and not getting a response. I haven't tried Tinder, but my low/practically non-existent response/messages received rate on other sites (OKC, Match, eH) tells me there is no need for me to do so.

It's another way for women to get their ego boost from matches and string along guys when they have no desire from the jump to meet someone.
It's another avenue for the thirsty men to try to get fast/easy sex which, ironically, is rare on this app even though it was supposed to be a "hook up" app. (But that was ruined by the women population that foolishly go on it for "friendship" and have no intention of taking it seriously except to have their ego stroked)

I keep hearing that Tinder was "supposed" to be a hookup app, but did the creators actually consult women and ask them if they'd be interested in a hookup app? I don't understand the outrage that women aren't using it for that purpose if there was never a great indication that the majority would be interested in that type of app anyway.

They created it with the intention to meet people in general, but what exactly do you think the purpose of an app is that links people based on the most superficial aspect of each other's looks solely? These girls kill me when they put in their bios "Looking for friendship only!". Who goes to an app for friends?? It's easier to make friends anywhere in real life than to find a hook-up buddy so they're lying. Most are college students at that (one of the most social laid back settings for friends) but you need an app?
Most of the girls like I said are on it for BS reasons. A lot are already good looking and want further confirmation that they are from matches amounts. Read number 2 in the article below. You know how I know this is overall true, because everyone I know that uses the app matches with girls and they could be not the least bit weird in conversation and the girls give answers such as "Yup." "Mhmm." "Oh. Cool".
Some actually too are looking for serious relationships, and they're quite frankly idiots. But you may have that lotto winner that finds it and gets lucky. If you hook up with someone off of it and it turns to more okay, but to turn to an app and going in from the jump swiping "hot or not" looking for your prince charming, come on.
Three things ruined Tinder: The fake prostitute spammers, the creepy guys that are plain weird and ruin it for everyone, and the girls looking for ego boosts.
This all sounds like the real life dating world actually...
