Tinder has changed after the update

Hey guys,

Has anybody else noticed a difference with the amount of matches since Tinder updated the info (work and school) on every profile?

I had actually given up on tinder because I was struggling getting any matches. I figured it had to do with my poor pics and being of south asian descent in scandinavia (on the assumption that prejudice is amplified in online dating). I'm probably going to take some professional photos asap, but I was swiping some girls today and I got 15 matches in around 60 likes! Never gotten such a high hit rate before. And the only difference is that my school (the best business school in the country) and my part time job (stock broker firm) is now showing in my profile after the update. My bio is empty.

The thing I'm worried about is that girls are swiping right only because of my education and work rather than actual sexual attraction. Doesn't this set me directly in the provider role? I'm considering removing the info on my bio and get some new sexy professional pics asap. Some guidance here would be much appreciated.

tvktvk,

As long as you are somewhat related via friends friend, or that you have something "safe" like which school or something that stands out as you part of the herd, I got more likes recently, numbers, not so.

I haven't gotten friends with photography skills/professional help to do DSLR photoshoot for me. So i can't say for now any solid numbers except that one.

Honestly man who cares why they swiped right? Getting a match is half the battle and I say anything that gets you in the door is fair game. Them swiping for your occupation is no different than say, you swiping cause of a plunging cleavage line. It's up to you via your interaction to position yourself as a lover VS a provider. I don't know how it is in your country but I've been on a fair number of Tinder dates and all the women have given me horror stories of the kinds of men they meet and get messaged by. So aside from seeing you as a potential provider they may see you as simply not being a loser who has some manners because of your schooling and work. If you combine that with some phenomenal pics then your match rate will probably skyrocket. Don't sweat why they swiped and instead concern yourself with getting their attention and then getting them off the app via phone number.

I'd actually like some insight into my own Tinder experiences. I'm starting to think Tinder has fallen prey to its own reputation and has become passé. I swear every profile I come across has something to the effect of "NO HOOK-UPS." Now as we know this is ridiculous because you're still being judged on a super specific, superficial level. Women are still on the app, still flashing the goods, but yet are claiming all they want is a connection and friendship. Personally I'm not sure how to address this. Is it a shit test? Is there some way via your own profile to counter this line? It's annoying, duplicitous horseshit and I'd love to hear if any guys have found a workaround. Also apparently the pool of men on Tinder is awful because they go straight to any variation of "Hey, let's fuck!" immediately upon a match which has poisoned the well. So yeah I'd appreciate any tips or tricks related to this latest phenomenon.
