So a murderer gets replies and I couldn't even get a match before I gave up, sounds about right lmao

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 107 points 7 months ago

Step 1: be attractive

Step 2: don't be unattractive

[-] SuddenDownpour@sh.itjust.works 22 points 7 months ago

Unironically this. Tinder is built in such a way that it makes appearance count far more than it does in almost any other environment. Add to that that there's a huge disproportion between male and female users. For most people, Tinder is just a miserable experience.

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 9 points 7 months ago

I was married before any of these apps became available, so I've never experienced them. How do people deal with the Instagram filter effect? I'm assuming everyone is using every filter they can for their profile pictures. So what happens when you actually meet someone in real life without all those filters? Does everyone just flee in terror at the arrival of their date?

[-] Grumpy@sh.itjust.works 15 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Yes. That's pretty much what I would do. Flee.

It's a giant waste of time for everyone. It's honestly horrible and I wish there was a way to seriously penalize people who do that. I'd say >80% of the girls use filter effect. I can't tell guys since I don't look at guy profiles. Though, guys would have better effect taking a pic in front of a random Porsche parked on the street and lie about their height than using filters.

You can tell people are using filters most of the time once you've seen enough. Lot of them are pretty obvious. And some of them are completely obvious as it still has the filter's name literally on the photo.

I would absolutely prefer to match on below avg girl with real face than hot girl with fake filter face. With real photos, I know what I'm getting into, and found them to be much more down to earth as well.

[-] kameecoding@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago

It's not just the filters, how photogenic you are also has a huge effect there can be a massive difference between what you see on the tinder pics and what's in real life and it goes both ways, as in it can be much better but also much worse

[-] Kalothar@lemmy.ca 3 points 7 months ago

I mean it’s kind of rare, you usually end up snapchatting at some point or whatever, I had a good amount of dates from Tinder and I never felt tricked really as far as I can recall.

[-] teft@lemmy.world 12 points 7 months ago

Example A:

Jeremy Meeks aka That Hot Mugshot Guy

[-] Asafum@feddit.nl 10 points 7 months ago

That is indeed the rule.

I couldn't even get conventionally unattractive people to respond lol

I mean could I be the problem? Sure, I hate myself more than any person that exists or ever has existed lol

[-] nonfuinoncuro@lemm.ee 10 points 7 months ago

Ugly people like hot people too.

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago

Sure, I hate myself more than any person that exists or ever has existed lol

This generally isn't something you'd open with when seeking a date, but you might attract some hawt goth chicks, so it'll possibly pay off.

[-] Asafum@feddit.nl 9 points 7 months ago

Lol I'm only open about that kind of stuff when I'm sorta anonymous like on here. I like to think I have some charm in person or when sending messages.

I don't get it though, don't women love the intro message of "ayyy bb nice tits, let's make fuck!" It never seems to work... :P

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago

You should get that bitch a stick. Bitches love sticks. Maybe some blue.

[-] CaptainEffort@sh.itjust.works 3 points 7 months ago

Blue has all the antioxygens

Pshh. You can't hate yourself as much as I hate myself. Get in line. And it's BEHIND ME.

[-] TheBat@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

BEHIND ME

Don't mind if I do

[-] Asafum@feddit.nl 2 points 7 months ago

That would mean you put yourself above others so I'd gladly get behind, I don't belong in front.

Lol :P

[-] Instigate@aussie.zone 6 points 7 months ago

Sounds like you’re the sort of person who does well in candid pictures. In order to get a great profile picture, have someone you know take photos of you while you’re having a coffee and a chat with a friend for fifteen minutes or so and try to ignore the camera as much as possible. I definitely look much better candid than posed; I honestly believe that most people do!

[-] 200ok@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago

A.k.a. Ted Bundy

[-] FewerWheels@mander.xyz 94 points 7 months ago

At the risk of doxing myself, I share a uncommon name with a serial murderer. I'm not a serial murderer. So if you googled me, you can ignore that.

[-] AdmiralShat@programming.dev 34 points 7 months ago

This is the first thing that came to mind.

One of my female cousins shares a full name with a male pornstar.

[-] fossilesque@mander.xyz 17 points 7 months ago

Rhonda Jeremy

[-] TheBat@lemmy.world 14 points 7 months ago

And you found that out when you were looking for your cousin's porn?

[-] homesnatch@lemm.ee 5 points 7 months ago

Peter North?

[-] AlpacaChariot@lemmy.world 18 points 7 months ago

I heard those murders were Wheely bad

[-] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 12 points 7 months ago

Don’t change your name, it’s the other guy who sucks.

[-] FewerWheels@mander.xyz 7 points 7 months ago

He's dead too, so there's that!

[-] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 10 points 7 months ago

Did…did you kill him?

[-] Gabu@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago

I share name and surname with a gospel singer, and for a long while I rocked the Christian Jesus look. That was always fun.

[-] baseless_discourse@mander.xyz 5 points 7 months ago

That's what a serial murder would say!

[-] FewerWheels@mander.xyz 2 points 7 months ago

Dang, busted!

[-] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

Joel Rifkin?

[-] bane_killgrind@lemmy.ml 2 points 7 months ago

Delaware Armin meiwes, not German Armin meiwes.

[-] perviouslyiner@lemmy.world 79 points 7 months ago

She had asked: What is he? A friend or an enemy?"

The alethiometer answered: He is a murderer."

When she saw the answer, she relaxed at once. He could find food, and show her how to reach Oxford, and those were powers that were useful, but he might still have been untrustworthy or cowardly. A murderer was a worthy companion. She felt as safe with him as she'd done with Iorek Byrnison the armoured bear"

[-] riot@lemmy.world 24 points 7 months ago

Oh, man, this really makes me want to re-read the entire series again.

I've recently gotten into audiobooks for the first time in my life. I wonder if there's a quality production of His Dark Materials.

[-] kryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.world 13 points 7 months ago

Just looked it up. There are 6 more books outside the original trilogy (9 in all). I have some reading to do.

The audible version was decent, I reread them all on audiobook ahead of the HBO series and wasn't wowed but I wasn't annoyed either. That part in Amber Spyglass still made me cry so that's a kind of endorsement.

[-] xor 7 points 7 months ago

Don't forget the BBC show as well!

[-] snooggums@midwest.social 35 points 7 months ago

Good grief Emily, just tell us how the date went.

[-] toxicbubble@lemmy.world 29 points 7 months ago
[-] metallic_substance@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago

Or calculated deception by telling the absurd truth

[-] Deceptichum@sh.itjust.works 28 points 7 months ago

Murderer or not, I'm not doxxing my full details to a random Tinder account.

[-] Etterra@lemmy.world 22 points 7 months ago

There are people who actively pursue relationships with convicts while they're in prison. Nothing about her post is surprising.

[-] FiniteBanjo@lemmy.today 16 points 7 months ago

You passed up a date with NFL MVP holder of the record for the single-season yards-per-game average at 143.1 and a famous actor, OJ Simpson?

[-] TonyTonyChopper@mander.xyz 7 points 7 months ago
[-] FiniteBanjo@lemmy.today 5 points 7 months ago

^IF^ I PASSED UP A DATE

[-] Gork@lemm.ee 8 points 7 months ago

Some people are into that sort of thing.

I don't understand it, but I'm not about to yuck someone's yum.

[-] Kit 8 points 7 months ago

Bottoms on Grindr would be even more interested after learning this. Or just me?

My buddy was named Chuck. It seemed just a little juvenile but he said Mr Manson seemed too posh. Yeah, he came up on internet searches too, and people needed to overlook the results.
