Tinder

[datingdisaster41]

Hi all - I've tried online dating - I just seem to see the same old face on pof (men probs think the same about mine!) I'd like to try Tinder but does anyone have experience? I heard you have to go through Facebook and I don't want it to show up on my Facebook account. Also - am I a bit too old as I'm mid-forties? Thanks!

I find Tinder a complete waste of time. I have my radius set to 35 miles and it presents me with women who are apparently 18 miles away, or 27 miles away, but you read the text beneath and they are clearly from more like 100-200 miles away and even abroad. Pointless.

Well im quite surprised. I have no experience of Tinder although i have heard of it and just formed the opinion that it was full of fake profiles and/or people just seeking casual hookups. I didnt really perceive it to be the place where women might be found who were seeking something a little more substantial ,or at least the possibility.

I found PoF was just a succession of blokes (some married) wanting a quick shag. I always thought Tinder was more about one night stands so it took me a while to sign up - in fact I did so in sheer desperation of how rubbish PoF was!

I got talking to a couple of men straight away and in fact I'm in a relationship with one now (coming up for 9 months) and am still facebook friends with another (not for any spurious reasons other than we have a laugh - we never actually met up because every time we planned to do so something happened to thwart it!).

Neither sent dick pics or pushed for shags and both are intelligent, funny blokes. Suffice it to say I bloody well loves Tinder!

I'm deliberately not mentioning the strange man who became slightly stalkerish and believed we were in a relationship despite never actually having met... I have a hunch he'd have been slightly odd (with a penchant for sending me a daily photo of his pants - not what you need at 7am!) regardless of what platform I'd found him on
