Online game works perfectly well for me, quit discouraging it.

[Husseinisdoingfine]

I'm being very genuine and I do not intend to brag. I was at first very hesitant to download a dating app because Leo advised me against it in his pickup part 4 series. 

I later capitulated and decided to download Tinder, and the results have been phenomenal. Every time I opened the app, it would tell me that I've received either 1 or two likes, and I get on average one match a day. I came incredibly close to meeting a girl when I was travelling to Germany, but she informed me she wasn't interested as I was leaving Germany too quickly and she wanted something more intimate.

But just last week thanks to Tinder I was able to go on my first date, first kiss, and get my first ever Girlfriend. 

I'm writing this because online game is frowned upon on this forum as something which exists for lazy people who don't want to do any work and just want to click a few buttons, and I'm writing this thread as a rebuttal to that.

Dude, if it works for yourself, I appreciate it.

I don’t feel comfortable doing that, it’s not for me.

Maybe it’s a personality thing.

Keep going, I wish you the best ?

Dude, getting the first girlfriend is no big deal either way. Everyone gets their first at some point quite easily. 

It's hard when you have to find "the one that sticks." 

And why do you take Leo word to word. 

And yours is barely a week. How are you so confident?

Getting a girlfriend or dates online is like riding a bike with training wheels still on.

The real question is why can’t you get a girlfriend or date without your phone?

You gain more self-development when you can approach a woman in real life than in hiding behind a screen.

Only if she rides you with training wheels too. 

[Ulax]

That's great dude.

But where is the growth with that route? For me and many others, cold approach is so prized because of the character it builds

[Chives99]

II never get any matches, i prefer the magic in person

These are not incredible results. You could get 2 phone numbers a day doing real life approaches. Or 3. Or 4. And so on.

I might be wrong but I remember he actually said give it a shot if you like.

You guys are so funny with your metaphore. In the end, the point is finding a girlfriend you love. I’d rather meet a girl I can connect with no matter how than doing 100approaches.

If it works it works.

Must people just repeat the advice they heard...

First of all, she is not your girlfriend after a week.

Second of all, getting low quality girls (both internal and external) on Tinder is a completely different thing vs getting high quality girls.

Finally, go out and approach girls - learn to be a proper man.

Online is frowned upon because you don't gain any skills as a man. I have a friend who has been with over 60+ women strictly from online, he's good-looking, 6'2, white, athletic, but when we go out he is socially uncalibrated, awkward and seems uncomfortable around attractive women.

He mostly dates women less attractive then him and struggles with women who are better looking. Being friends with him, is a constant reminder that looks isn't the only piece of the pie when it comes to dating.

I tried to get him to come out for some sessions back in the day and he didnt see the point since he was consistently getting his sexual needs met and didnt see the point in "constant rejection", but would complain he wanted "high tier girls"

Most people dont really care about game or getting good with women they just want to find a girl that likes them and move on, which is fine but thats a definitive reason why most people look down on online game.

It can work if you got the looks.

There’s an AI dating app simulator called Blush that released recently. There’s a 100% chance of getting a match with any AI on there, regardless of your looks “in real life”

[Karmadhi]

To all you guys here moaning about "I need to be good looking" blla blla

This is a blackpiller guy who actually tried to use the app correctly, got platnum and good professional pictures and his results were quite decent. He used to be super against online dating because he got little results with it in the past and was overall quite toxic attitude regarding looks and stuff. Then he tried it correctly and got decent results.

And he is not a Chad or anything, I would say decent looking but nothing out of the ordinary. Also he is not gym guy, if he was ripped he would do even better. His body is average. Face slightly above but in his pictures he looks really good.

Dude a girl will not fuck you just because you are hot regardless of how you meet. He does have some skill to be able to fuck them, especially if they do a coffee date first. You can easily talk a girl out of liking you if you have no idea what you are doing (trust me I have been there).

 It won't increase your actual game itself with women. 

[MAHAVATAR_-_BABAJI]

Anyone can get a girl to fuck them. Online game comes with sexual intent.

With cold approach every girl I slept with the same day We went out together.

You ain't clappin' them 9/10 and 10/10 cheeks from online game.

Did you take good pictures of yourself or just self captured selfies?

@Michael569

I could answer to most of user's responses here, but because you're a mod I decided to answer to you. I think we could be more supportive to the opener and not invalidate his sucess. It would be like telling to person who started to go to gym hyped that we'll see if this even works after you show me your gains in 3 months. I almost feel the vibe reading people's messages here that they hope he'll end up miserable just to make some point about tinder in general. This should be high quality forum and I expect more of the people here.

@Husseinisdoingfine

Also GJ man, keep the grinding going in other aspects of your life too and thanks for encouraging people to try new possibilities in their life <3
