Confused with Tinder?

hello, I started using the app, I haven't paid anything but not getting any matches, to those Tinder savvy people: do I need to pay? Which option is the cheapest in order to see matches etc...

Thanks and wish me good luck! :-)

@Opentooffers I'm 44 and I get plenty of likes from men in their 20s on Tinder. Men really aren't that discerning (or bright)

LaLuz7 · 12/12/2022 13:16

Have the matches started coming in?

Join Badoo, you'll get matches within hours.

I went through a bit of a cougar phase in my early forties after my divorce, it was great fun and just what I needed after years with an older man.

There are lots of younger, hot, funny gents out there willing to help a gal out, good luck!

Update: I contacted Tinder yesterday, filled in an "appeal form", politely explained I had been banned apparently for no reason after following their guidelines. 12 hours later a real person in Palo Alto (California) from tinder headquarters (her email address showed up as [email protected] -not her real name- contacted me. there was a phone number and an address as signature in the email hence the reason I believe my appeal had been escalated to a real person. She profusely apologised and my Tinder profile was reinstated.

Apparently people have been posting too many fake profiles on Tinder and they recently implanted a very sensitive algorithm that will have you banned with the sound of a fly. When you sign up now you need to provide a verification picture video that needs to match your pictures, they do it through a facial recognition software. I believe I had my glasses on when I took the verification photo and the pictures on my profile had no glasses so maybe that's what triggered the ban?

Can you link to where you appealed - i recently
got banned after doing the verification but when I tried emailing them I got told there was no appeals process and I’d stay banned! Curious if you used a different link. It’s very annoying!

Hi, I believe I went to the Tinder settings of the app, clicked on "support", clicked on "can't log in" option, then clicked on "I have been banned" option and got a support ticket box pop up where I politely explained the situation in writing. I then got an email stating they were reviewing my case, 6 hours after I got another email from a human being stating there had been a mistake and I should be able to log in. problem solved. the way I figured this out was by googling "how to appeal a Tinder ban".

They have to match you back OP which clearly they are not doing so maybe try an older audience

Actually most of the guys I match with are in their late 20's. I've been messaging with like ten. I believe cougars are milfs we're in huge demand. It's going to be a fun Christmas 😂

I’m in my mid 40’s looking for 20’s something guys, I feel a bit like a predator 🤣😂🤣

Oh dear OP..

WeAreBorg · 14/12/2022 07:58

Hope you manage to get it sorted OP, I’m sure you’ll be inundated very soon! Enjoy 😊

You’re not a predator at all, you sound great - if you’re after sex only, younger men are clearly where it’s at. You don’t want to be scrabbling round for a Viagra for a random hook-up while he finds his specs 😂

Ahhh that’s the same thing I already did but they told me no! I may try again - none of the other apps really have anyone on where I live.

thanks for replying and good luck with the search!

Absolutely nothing to be ashamed of

Have you made it clear in your profile that you just want casual?. In my tried and tested tinder experience that gets you loads of matches within 5 minutes of swiping. I am older than you and l am frequently matched with 30 something men, sometimes younger. I'm bored with it now but l did have a lot of fun.
