So for the hell of it, I put a little investment into my poor dating life and tried out Tinder Plus. I haven't gotten any dates out of but I do have some tales to tell.
1. I get a match, and this woman messages me and says "you the one daddy." I asked her to elaborate and she said I'd make a perfect model for a well known old woman. I unmatched her in world record speed.
2. I decided to embrace a strategy of playing the numbers game and just swipe right to everyone. I get a match with someone I used to hang out with a couple of years ago. I know her but not too well. She looks okay, but the thing feels awkward to me. I still have her matched but I haven't messaged her after a few weeks.
3. I spent the last two weeks mostly in my office but I matched with this gorgeous woman who has everything I want physically in a woman. She had started to do a fade out of interest by not messaging me the last couple of days. I accept it as she ain't interested. I go out to get some groceries today and I happened to see her in an aisle. I do what I can to avoid her because I don't want any awkward .
So I found out that while I have no problem taking up against any guy who messes with me or my friends, I'm super awkward and scared to talk to women on a romantic level. Don't know what the hell to do about it, but I'm still trying.

I started doing Tinder a few months ago and love it. I'm at a point where I'm just interested in casual dating and its been a God send. Not every experience has been great but at least entertaining on some level or a learning experience. If you can't score or wrap it up using Tinder then something is really wrong. I've met more good dates then bad and wished I hadn't waited to go online as long as I did.

First, get rid of the Yoda speak. It narrows prospects. When it comes to finding someone:
1.Take a realistic look at yourself (impossible really, get an honest friend and get them drunk). If you are not that great looking then dating apps are not your friend. It's mostly a meat market, and if you aren't grade A, odds are not in your favor.
2. Don't lose hope, this is the time to truly embrace your uniqueness. Play up your individuality. Be proud of your quirkiness, love of Star Wars and all that makes you yOu. Shoot in the dark, because that is what dating apps are for. Come to think of it, you never mentioned if you were looking for a hook up or more?... If it's hook up, good luck and be safe. More? Don't use Tinder.

This Tinder sounds like more trouble than it's worth!
Well it's way better than the new Hinge, sorry to say.
