Long time lurker first time poster. I am 30 and tried out tinder out of desperation since I work to much and am desperate.
I consider myself average looking but socially awkward and gave it a try. I travel the world for work so put all my profile pics of me in "exotic" places around the world at well known landmarks.
I got the app and decided to wait a day before I like anyone to filter out the scum. I made the mistake of having my job title on my profile and only matched with single moms and fat chicks looking to get out of their situation in this small town.
I feel like since girls know I travel so they can cheat on me and make good money and escape from this shit town is the only reason we matched.
I never messaged anyone first as to not come off as desperate, and had a lot of girls blatantly ask to hook up and the typical "Im not like most girls" and a lot of their profiles had "wanderlust" in it while they wore stupid fucking hats and "mommy to my fur baby" or "dog mom" Im literally thinking of pretending to be a Morman just to get a nice girl with morals and a future.
I thought tinder was just a meme but fuck.
