Tinder really is nothing more than signing in using your Facebook account info and start swiping, no profiles to create or questionnaires to answer. I'm sure somewhere like POF or OKC (with questionnaires) could help weed out incompatible people, but for getting back "in the game", Tinder might be the quickest/easiest. I figure it gets easier for everyone after they get the first date with some out of the way, certainly has always been the case with me after dry spells.

I don't have facebook so I can't use tinder. I'll probably just do an okcupid one once I get bored enough.

Tinder has gotten me action more consistently than OKC, actually, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's a woman's game. I know that when I'm on OKC, if I enable men to view my profile, it's like opening a spigot. Seriously.

i swipe forever but rarely get matches. the only time i get matches is by using the "super like" feature which almost always fetches me a like because it directly notifies them.

Yeah. I never used Tinder as a guy but I did use OKC as a guy, it was definitely a different game. It was much harder to get the ball rolling with people, most women wouldn't even respond to my messages. I would be actively looking through profiles and sending out messages for days at a time without getting any responses. Now it's about 50:50. I can't comment on what it would be like to be a guy looking for guys on OKC though, because I wasn't interested in guys when I was a guy. Hormones are weird.

I've barely used PoF and never OK Cupid, but Tinder has worked well for me. I do live close enough to a decent city, so there may simply be more girls using it here. Less than even <10% matches, but when I make an effort to use most of the the allotted likes/day, I always end up with a few. Some use third party clients to like 1,000's of profiles per day and weed people out after the fact 
@D_S Ah, yeah I don't think there's any way around using a Facebook account. No sort of account requirement AFAIK though, people make quick (or under an alias) profiles just to use it.

Given some of your posts here, I'm surprised you don't like Tinder more, or have a Facebook account solely for keeping an active (Tinder) account. Then again, you do seem like at least somewhat of a romantic. If PoF were more popular around here (it's not even close), and I could find as many matches as I can on Tinder, as quickly/easily, I'd like it much more; No idea if OkC is any more popular (here). It may also have something to do with being at a point in my life where I would only invest in a relationship with someone I'm extremely compatible with.

i do still believe in Love. I like to call it being an idiot but "romantic" works.
i've got nothing against the ones i've loved and lost because from the start i acknowledge it as inevitable due to my infatuation with Her...oin. The affect it has on the relationship is akin to still having feelings for an ex. it just fucks things up and takes alot of my attention. it also causes me to up and leave sporadically and my behavior to vary greatly from day to day.
I really prefer IRL over all dating apps or websites and plan on trying to find another mate once i'm in better shape mentally and physically. Also once i figure out how long i'm going away for, if at all.
I loveeeeee texting with girls too, it's so exciting! Especially once you hit it off and you start having a good back and forth and you're heart just gets filled with Glee everytime your phone buzzes.

That's part of why I figured you'd like Tinder. Being able to, for all intents and purposes, text so many different girls in your area so easily.

I guess. i was more referring to the honey moon phase with someone you've already hit it off with.
Ideally I like to focus my energy on one specific person but i guess i am gonna have to "play the field" again.
I honestly don't get along with most girls(or people) so i'd probably have it narrowed down to the girl i want pretty fast. She'd be quick witted girl, with a good vocabulary who knows how to play with the underlying sexual tension of a convo. She'll know when to test my resolve if i'm being cocky and when to throw me a bone if i am not at my best that day.
I'm really just a sucker for anyone i can vibe with. I don't chase based on looks like i used to and am seriously trying to settle down now.

I like to think I'm good at getting along with almost anyone, but that's different than doing well in a relationship. Ultimately I'm just not counting to meet someone especial on any dating app/service, so Tinder is the most to the point for me.

I figure it probably is for many people, but I don't think so for me personally.
