Don't give up OP, there is someone for everyone! Tinder isn't the only option

And are you planning on going on dates with all of those 105 people? Because if you don't, that number's pretty damn meaningless and you should probably unmatch quite a few of them so you can focus on quality over quantity.

Seriously, how is knowing that going to make the OP feel? Way to depress someone already feeling sad.

Try out some other apps/sites if you haven't. I've used a lot of them over the past few years and Tinder had by far the worst quality of dates. Some real horror stories out of it! OKCupid was harder to find dates but they were higher quality people in my experience.

Tinder in general is incredibly biased towards looks. For those less gifted in that area like myself, one should have a stellar personality and a great bio, preferably with pets to help chances. Good luck!

This might sound a bit harsh, but there are two possible issues that I can think of: 1: There are red flags on your profile. A lot of people swipe left automatically if the person is for example smoking or has a picture of them with their ex (or someone who looks like they might be an ex) on their profile. 2: You aren't conventionally attractive. In that case, Tinder is NOT the app for you. It's pretty damn shallow by design, and many people swipe left or right based on the first picture alone and don't bother reading what's on your profile. You want some kind of dating site where people are more interested in your personality than whether or not they feel the urgent need to have a one night stand with you.

Not sure why everyone is ******** on Tinder, it's a pretty great app if you are just looking to hook up, which OP might be looking to do. A paying site is better if you're looking for something serious, but most people, probably including OP, don't want a monthly fee just to grab some quick ass. Of course, the downside of Tinder, and hook up culture in general, is that it is definitely geared to those blessed with good looks. It's shallow, but it can be worked around. Also, as mentioned above, you might have some major red flags in your profile scaring people away. Make sure your first pic is actually one of you, preferably just you,and avoid any pictures strongly promoting any political type ideologies.
