Found myself crawling back to the bottomless pit that is Tinder. I realize I didn’t have any likes (as usual, for years). I’m 29 right now, come to think of it, I’ve never and I mean never have actually met a girl in person or went on a date from swiping on Tinder. This is after repetitive years of swiping.
I’ll just be honest, I’m a black male. Yes I’ve seen the YouTube videos of black men not getting any dates off Tinder, unless he’s a handsome tall athletic Michael B Jordan type black male. If it’s not the top tier black male as far as physical attractiveness goes, you’re going to have a really difficult time, which any race of woman you swipe.
At least that’s what I’ve been told, I called bs on it and boy do I regret it. I’ve been called cute on numerous occasions, I’ve rarely been called ugly or unattractive, thing is I’m short, 5’5 short. I make up for it since I’m “blessed” downstairs with a big one, but in order to actually enjoy the benefits of that trait, I gotta have to be successful dating, in which that has not been the case since I’ve started dating at 16.
I went on Tinder saw no likes as usual and the ones I do get are the ones where when you pull Tinder up on your phone they disappear. I know how dating apps go, women get overwhelmed by guys and their likes and messages are literally overflowing, and us guys….well…..crickets are chirping for at least a handful of likes, just the way it is. I told myself I wouldn’t do it but I went to the “likes sent” section, and I felt like completely crap when I saw all those likes sent compared to my 0 likes, messages, and matches. Meanwhile my buddies are meeting different girls constantly, going out having fun and creating relationships.
And guess what their advice was? “Just hop on Tinder it’s easy af”.
