Slightly older guy from reddit does 100 irl dates and posted this statistic. Is this in line with your experience as well?

https://www.reddit.com/r/Tinder/comments/jmjdbb/over_2_years_ive_had_over_500_matches_and_gone_on/

My experiences don't reflect this, no.

This guy claims to have gotten 100 dates from dating apps over a two year period, I've only managed about 20 over a span of 6 years, and only one went further than a first date.

Obviously the pandemic has put a bit of a dampener on my love life and I haven't been on a date since before the first wave in March.

100 dates out of 500 matches is crazy good. Also he went on 7+ dates with 9 women, which is also quite a bit. It could be just his demographic plus a good profile. Quite expensive at $80 date for 2.

Also
488 of them had picture of them exercising

481 of them had pictures of them eating or drinking


91 of them only had one picture

Basically want to say it is fabricated.

I want to hear about the 8 that wanted to have sex, but you declined....

3 were super drunk, 2 lied about their age and looked like they could have been my mother, 1 was my daughters high school math teacher and the other 2 were just flat out NO WAY!

100 dates in two years is roughly 1 date a week. Nothing special at all, it's more the question of matches, not question of time. And in case you missed it, 87% of his dates talked about their kids.

How about you give us data on the positive aspect of all these dates? You just listed all the negative aspect. 21% had a nice smile. 31% followed up on the text. 63% wanted to be in a long term relationship.

Give those data. Sound like you just hopping on women and then taking notes of what doesn’t fit your criteria. Cmon man.

She broke into my house the day after our first date and spent the day sleeping in my bed, eating my food and watching tv. It was all caught on my security system.

I didn't break any. 3 women I went on dates with did. One shoplifted a big basket full of alcohol. One stole a tip jar off a piano at a bar we were at, and one was so drunk she broke into a random house to use the bathroom. (I left her there and bailed)

Lot of time spent on dating apps and keeping notes on all matches and dates. $80 average is expensive for a date. Most dates looked nothing like their pictures. Dating apps can be an expensive hobby.

A handful of things stood out to me.

488 of 500 had pictures of exercising seems way to high. I would estimate that to be around 20% but why would someone invent that number?

91 only had one photo (of themselves?) seems too low in that age range

91% couldn't put their phones away seems way too high in that age range unless he is counting looking up time on your phone or something

93% were too late seems way to high as well

Average $80 per date seems like old school restaurant date. Maybe that's normal in his age range but seems odd today.

After reading the stats, and the comments I posted above, and even reading further comments.

Honestly I did not want to say it out loud, but I will, feels like made up statistics and stories to get some attention.

Yeah the more I read it the more it doesn't add up.
$80 average date? Where on Earth is he taking them, Vegas?

That sub has some dank memes



The tinder guy has a public reddit profile. He is normie looking for his age but he seems to project business success and specializes in milf hunting.

It's funny this thread gets bumped on the exact day I went back onto dating apps after a 9 months hiatus.
Gonna try and get back out there while there's no covid, before there's another quarantine fuckup and subsequent third wave.

I've really missed intimacy, being stuck single during the pandemic.

I'll tell you what I told my mate the other week.

Went to the city for a walk first time in months to pick up a game. 

Women seem to be skimpier than ever, like they trying to find a hook up. Might be a perfect time to go in and scout.
