I'm one of the few people on the planet who's been resistant to social media. But time and again it has been suggested to me to start up a FaceBook account for the purposes of using Tinder and potentially similar apps. Lately it seems in my town that many more couples go out than singles, and so I've decided that Tinder may be a good way to focus my pursuits.

Here's my concern: I know I need a FaceBook account, and while I want to use it for the express purpose of meeting girls (and not for the long-term), I also know that once I sign up everyone I know is going to be notified. So my question is how do I make an effective hook-up profile without it coming off as such? I found Chase's article about Plenty of Fish and the pic advice was very useful. However I don't think the date-profile stuff applies quite as well since FaceBook is more general. I just want to be careful about what I put out there but still show myself as attractive and open without being slotted into normal nice guy territory. Really any and all tips I would find helpful.

Make a facebook with a new Email and don't use your real last name, nobody will be notified of anything. You don't even need friends to use tinder, just "like" a few things, add a few pictures and you're good to go.
 
the right date makes getting her back home a piece of cake

Thanks for the quick 101. I've since gotten up and running but found myself with a couple other questions. Namely what's a good opener for Tinder? I assume being complimentary + observant is still the way to go but in this environment it doesn't seem like compliments, even good ones, come off quite the same way. Plus it can be hard to make a read about a girl based on just an up close face shot. I messaged one girl saying her flirtatious smile is what got my attention but then she un-matched me. So yeah, any help with the nuance of Tinder openers would be appreciated.

As an opener I tend to go for, "Looks like we've both got a least one thing going for us...good taste, lol." I can't take credit for it but it works like a charm.

Adam (and anyone else interested in Tinder)-

Colt's actually got a new program coming out on Tinder very soon on the site. I don't want to give stuff away here, but if you're not on the newsletter, make sure you're subscribed, as we'll start giving out some of his tips from the program within the next couple of weeks before we launch it, and then we'll get a presentation up on it and make it available for anyone who wants it.

So, if you want a complete guide to it, that's coming out probably pretty soon.

Or, even if you just want a few tips on it, we'll begin filtering these out via the newsletter in the none-too-distant future.

As for the program, after having thoroughly reviewed it, I can tell you the material is rock-solid, quite hilarious, and surprisingly sexual right off the bat (in a fun, refreshing way). Not holding any punches, in a fun way, seems to be one of the keys to Colt's Tinder style.

Looking forward to the upcoming material on Tinder!

I was stuck initially with tinder unable to get almost any matches at all (I'm talking like hundreds of swipe right and only a couple of matches with profiles selling bj's :/ lol; couple of weeks ago when I first tried it).

I read this short thread: http://www.reddit.com/r/Tinder/comments/2a9t69/strategy_from_a_guys_perspective_and_thoughts_on/ roughly 5 days ago, and then went and made the changes (helped to have a decent body, and ripped abs to show on a picture) just simplifying to one good looking first picture and then a second pic of my body and nothing more...

And then a little while later I got like 10 matches... and went on to get a good number of matches from then on.

I guess this would only work if you have a half decent body though...? Tinder's still a big mystery to me, only just learned that showing off abs helped me a bit.
