Found myself single and ready to mingle but I'm wary of online dating. I tried it several years ago and found that most of the users were either mentally ill or were not exactly what you would call beautiful.
Is Tinder worth a try?

Bubba, do you like the ******?
If so, I'd probably give Tinder a shot.
If you are looking for a soulmate, I'd suggest going to the pet store and buying a cat or dog.

If you're single, try it all- Tinder, Match, everything. Why not? It's 2015. Online and mobile dating is mainstream. Put yourself out there. I met some of the hottest girls I've ever been out with on Tinder and Match when I was single. I actually miss it sometimes.
It's a great time to be single. You don't have to worry about cold-calling at bars every weekend anymore. Tons of available women are right at your fingertips.

Pretty much rack what Chad said.
I can't think of a single reason why you wouldn't have tinder as a single person. You're bored, you log onto tinder, and you swipe your fingers. That's it - that's the whole process.
Brush up on your opening lines. Unless you are super attractive you are going to have to be witty to even get a response. Once you master being able to catch their attention and exchange a little bit of bs, it's all down hill. You aren't going to bang them all the first night, but lay out some ground work, make them think you aren't an ******* just trying to get in those sweet walls, and profit.
The entire social media/dating app world has made it hard to commit to just one these days.
Team single for now (age 27).

Sounds promising. I really prefer to keep my dating life and personal life separate. Is there anyway to keep any potential dates off your facebook?
Yeah, but if you're married like me it hurts your chances if they see a bunch of pics with your wife and kids.
Put on a decent shirt, grab some friends, go out in public, look a girl in the eyes, remember her name. It's not that difficult. Don't really get dating sites for the 20-crowd, although Tinder adds another dimension. That said, I've heard more horror stories about it than anything else.
I always said if I hit 30 and I'm not happy with my dating life, I'll give one of these a try. Plus my figure is declining and my hair is fleeting, might be a good time.

So much misrepresentation. Everyone who has used it, when I asked if it's worth it, they basically said "Ehhhh..". Dealing with fake pictures, girls just looking for a chat buddy, and that dreaded "Hey I met you online!" confrontation. I'd rather just go up to a girl at a bar and say "Hi" at that point.
It's not like every girl at a bar is looking for a dude, either. Tinder is just expanding your options. You can do both.
I have had tinder for roughly 1 year and probably met around 10-15 people from it. To this day I am great friends with a chick that I met on there. It didn't work out romantically but we stay in touch frequently. I have only had one *bad* experience on there. Met a girl in London, my first mistake, and she ended up losing her mind when I did not want more than just waxing.
All in all, I just fool around on there when I have time to kill or I am half drunk and struck out at the bar. It requires zero effort.
Lexington Tinder game < Other cities.
One of the girls in the current rotation is a tinder friend. Talked for one week, exchanged phone numbers, met at drakes, waxed on hangout #3.

Everyone I know who has used it has gotten laid and dated some attractive women, a few even gotten married. Your friends must be terrible.
Because I'm not afraid to approach a girl at a bar or in a park? Or because I (somehow) still get approached as well? I don't see the need for it at 29. Don't need it. I get it at 23, just load up on cooz every night. I do think for that age (or anyone who wants to LTP) it makes sense, more than Match.com or something.
I think the more traditional web-dating sites I don't really see the need for.
Question about Tinder: If a girl is willing to come over and bed one of you grimy f***s, because she see's your picture, you threw her some emoji's and your address, who else is she doing that with? Or rather, how often?
A bar slut is one thing, they still have some reservations. I have to imagine the Tinder sluts are very self-conscious with daddy issues..
Downloading the app now.

So a Tinder Slut just bangs, in no order, Mash, Willy, Heisman, BB, Funky.. and you're next. That sits well with you? I want no worse than 3rd on that list. 4th is just disgusting
Hell, I'll go last, Lineski. I don't care.
ftfy. A girl you take home from the bar banged some dude from tinder earlier that week. Don't be so naive.
So a girl that will go home with you from a bar is more reputable than a girl you match with on Tinder somehow? [laughing]
I'd venture to say the conversation that leads to a hook up on Tinder is more in depth than a bar hook up.

I'm fine not being the only guy in a given week or in the top5. But this dude right next to me at work, who is so derped looking, missing 4 front teeth, said he took a girls virginity after talking to her a few times on Tinder. Assuming the story is true, something isn't right about that scenario. That girl was probably one last tinder shot away from letting her Dad do it...
Sounds like a lot of advocates for Tinder. I'm sure I'll blow what I have going now, so I'll have to give it a shot. Putting a damn heavy screening process on it, though.
I am pissed (*PISSED*) that I haven't been single since 2010. You whippersnappers and your apps to get laid!
Also, in related news, I am mad that I didn't have this idea:

I've been ineligible for a long time, but a coworker has used them all, and for a long time. Just like Lineski's bud, this guy is less than a catch: he is short, chubby, bald, and less than well groomed. He swears that the more relationship oriented it is, the more sex he gets. The more adult or hookup oriented, the less sex he gets. His favorite story is about an insanely freaky hotel meeting that was set up on a Christian dating site.
what that dumbass lineski is missing -- the "trashy" women on tinder and the "normal" girls at the bar ARE THE SAME.
what a loser.
what a loser.
Swipe right on all of them to maximize your chances. You'll get some matches with some downright trifling women and some fake bot accounts but you can easily ignore those matches. But like someone else said, if you're not at least an 8 you better be a smooth operator on that keyboard or your dead to rights before you even install the app.
