You can't look at your ratio and assume it means you are worthless.

All of the dating apps will give extremely frequent matches to the extremely attractive friends, but that doesn't necessarily mean they just have it easy. One of my best buds gets nearly every other Tinder swipe over the last few years to be a match...yet he hasn't had ONE person go past a first date (and hasn't tried just getting laid).

Meanwhile, I had a ratio more like you, but wasn't obsessively using it with the expectation that I needed a girlfriend, but rather that I was open to getting one if it worked out. I successfully matched with the woman who is now my wife (but on Bumble).

And if you are worried about percentage of swipes, Match or other paid services isn't going to be your magical saving grace. Pretty much zero women ever responded to any of my well thought out messages when I used that service.

All of this aside, however. Tinder is hands down probably the worst app you can use, as it is frequently the one I hear more people saying they are using it solely to get laid, or just have funny conversations with people.



Money can't buy happiness. Just video games, which make me happy.
