I decided to sign up for this since I have high self-esteem and was curious to know what are some of your experiences. I wanted to know how is the meeting set up? Do you exchange numbers or do you just talk through tinder and set up a meeting spot?

It's up to the people involved how you set up the meeting. It might be better to just set it up on Tinder because I recently had a guy suggest meeting, so I gave him my number and he never got in contact, yet he's logging onto Tinder all day.

I tried it, but at the end of the day it become tedious and there's a lot of game players on there. I much prefer approaching women in public and having a nice, organic conversation than going back n forth on a dating app.

I've tried it and actually got one date from it. Downside is that Tinder gives you anyone that's close to your phone whether they live in your area or not. So when the Superbowl was in town last week I was getting a lot of new women popping up on my phone, only to find out that they live out of town. Made a match with a couple and when I wanted to set up a date for later this week found out that they would be long gone by then.

I met the guy I am seeing right now on Tinder. I try to forget that's how we met, but I'll always be grateful to it! We would never have met otherwise!

For me it's been lame. There are a lot of bots who just spam websites at you for you to click, obviously you don't. But between ones who have been too far away or too old or too ugly, I haven't actually talked to anyone on it.

Online dating seems like you take about 4 steps backwards from what you could do in real life encounters concerning who talks to you.

What are your dating goals, anyway? You've been doing this for as long as I've been on C-D... I'm sure even longer... and I am not thinking you want anything but some hookups, am I correct?

Not all women are going to throw out their phone number and other private info to some random dude on the internet who doesn't seem to want to date seriously.

You can specify the age range you want to view so there's no reason why you should be seeing anyone who you consider too old.
