I decided to try out tinder and discovered the site is absolute garbage. There are no real browsing options, interest selection is limited, there are fucking trannies who failed to properly disclose their status so they show up where they shouldn't, and it prohibits you from manually disclosing your location by forcing you to use location services.
Edit: Was likely banned for saying in the account description I hate regressive leftists and muslims, and also for saying I hate gender identity. Another possibility was that defending lolicon got me wrongfully banned for pro-pedo speech.
Fun fact of my life: I was on Tinder for all of 3 days and met my wife.
Caveat: It was in korea, which made it the only reliable option for expats. My wife (not american fwiw) was a phd student in Daegu, and both of us were happy to delete the app after a great first date.
Other side of the coin: I watched some American girls in Seoul use Tinder while we shared a taxi from work. Watched them mindlessly swipe left 50 times, then bitch that the radius was only 250km or whatever. They would only stop for obviously hot guys and even then they were more likely than not to swipe left. Blew my mind seeing female hypergamy in action.
if you believe in hypergamy, why did you get married?
I didn't say I married an American. I got extremely lucky and found someone who resonated with me from the Philippines. Still has that love of God and a great family -- lord knows they've welcomed my extremely white and awkward ass.
But to your implied point: I was dreading that coming back to America from Korea. American women are, generally put, not a great source of marital material. Thought I'd get involved with a church and assumed I'd just never marry.
Fair point and question, though.
