I'll speak from personal experience as a short ricecel living near the Indiana/Kentucky border.
I used Tinder and Bumble for 5 and 3 years, respectively.. I created my profile exactly from the book. I had everything I needed to maximize as many matches as I could. A serious picture. A smiling picture. A dog picture. A travel picture. A picture of me in a suit I rented. I even looked up which poses do the best. I put an interesting bio with a joke and a few things of what I liked just so I don't come off as a psycho. I didn't mention my height (I'm 5'4).
Nothing. Not one single match. Not even a bot matched with me. I bought Tinder Passport and both Bumble Travel and Boost. I put my location in Rice enclaves like LA, SF, NYC. I even put my location in Asian cities like Manila, Bangkok, Cebu, and Shanghai. I even lowered my damn fucking standards and was swiping on a few land whales just to see if I was really that hideous.
Not a single match in years.
I still don't have a match, even in quarantine, where I assume foids are extra horny.
These fucking dating apps are all about how you look. Nothing more. If you're not in the 20% of the Chads, I'm sorry. You're not getting any matches. That's just how cruel this world is. This whole "empowering women" shit has made women become spoiled little bitches who all want the cream of the crop, and are even willing to put down other foids to get ahead, and yet they have the audacity to call US sexist, when it's mostly foids being sexist to other foids.
This current wave of feminism is not about equal rights. It's about foids gaining power over us, and the innocent incels like us who have done nothing but get cursed with the short end of the stick from these stupid standards of beauty that Hollywood pumps into our brains every minute of every hour of every day,, are the ones who suffer the fucking most.
just use better pics bro, just be interesting bro... it's all so tiring
It's so fucking frustrating that these "dating coaches" who have a degree in "dating" (no fucking joke there's a Buzzfoid video on dating apps and they interview someone who actually got that useless fuck of a degree) tell this shit to us, and that if we follow word for word, we would get matches.
I've been doing this and following their advice (doing it so you don't have to) and i've gotten a total of ZERO matches.
Newsflash you fucking "coaches"! Unless you're a 6'3 white chad with the perfect Hollywood face and body you're getting no attention!
