Observations as a Tinder single newby
Discussion
So I thought I'd bring the subject up as I'm new to being single after 25 years & clearly out of the loop in whats the way to do things. I'll point out I'm nearly 50 so for those of a younger age you might have a very different view!
So whilst browsing the classified's
I understand those coming through the Tinder process might not be the lowest mileage options out there obviously & understandably at my age. Its much like a trip to BCA, a brief bio sometimes with mileage & history, a cursory glance over the outside & you make a decision, thankfully a swipe right is not a buy & at least its both ways.
But by heck how many ladies look so much older, its fair to say the freerange populous at large, is quite large & the prospect of bumping into someone vaguely fit, healthy & active seems a challenge. Don't get me wrong there appears no shortage of single nice enough sounding & honest souls out there (along with the many Tinder prospects, if that floats your boat) just the prospect of a sofa surfer does not appeal.
Thankfully the traditional old school long forgotten methods of pulling, after glancing eye contact, a smile & chat, with a fit hottie ten years younger that I bumped into still work for me
there just wasn't the option to check her bio/history/ownership pre interaction which would have been handy.
Of course there are many tales from Tinder but I'm genuinely interested if the ladies side of things is much the same? What do the girls seek in a bio? & whats the best approach to fend off those who won't fit in wetsuit without being rude ? Is a funny bio better than factual one that sort of thing. Having never viewed the blokes side I don't know what is right or wrong

Are you after a relationship or a leg over?
If it's the former, you are looking in the wrong place. No one tells the truth or wants to give any negative impression online.
If it's the latter, just find one that isn't going to completely repulse you, then bag up and crack on. Or, if you're feeling particularly flush, rent something high end and exotic, and ride it like you stole it.
