unpopular opinion: it's not 80/20% it's more like 98%/2%

First off, if you don't think tinder is real life, then this thread is not for you. RSD nation or whatever PUA forums are left might appeal more to your form of mental illness.

Second, if you approach tinder with anything less than a very good looking guy, he doesn't get matches.

Except matches don't even mean anything, so basically you need to use pictures of a chad tier guy to even get women interested enough to respond back with more than "hi".

And what if the guy doesn't look as good as his probably cherry picked photos? The girl (who probably frauds everything) will give him the cold shoulder.

So basically it's all or nothing. Either you have god like genetics or you have no chance.
