The Tinder App has played a large role in reinforcing the confidence of the girls characterized as “Haves” in Los Angeles. This has created a positive feedback loop, elevating their perceived value and separating them even further from the rest of the pack.
The art of taking pictures of oneself or girlfriends has been elevated to a new level. Rather than being employed solely for dating, Tinder is now used as a tool of marketing and self-promotion. Whereas girls used to simply post the best photos that they had on hand, many current Tinder photos are brazenly engineered to raise the desirability factor and elicit as many responses as possible. This is done all in order to feed their egos.
Here are the typical types of photos I have seen so far:
1. The Glamour Headshot
Usually the first photo shown is a professional headshot of ultra-high quality, featuring a dazzling smile, a sultry look, or some type of pose designed to bring out a man’s animal spirits, guaranteeing an immediate swipe to the right.
2. The Peak-A-Boo Shot
The second photo typically escalates to show a little bit more skin, somewhat of a tease.
The “Unbuttoned Blouse” shot shows a silk or chiffon blouse unbuttoned such that the graceful curve of her bosom is gently outlined by the scalloped lace of an expensive demi bra. Girls are even defining terms for these shots, such as “One Side Open,” whereby a man can get clear view of her elegant brassiere cup through the unbuttoned shirt or via a sleeveless opening.
A variation of this is the “Sheer” shot, where the material in her dress or blouse is thin enough to plainly see her nipples.
3. The Boob Shot
Women who really want to attract attention post a bolder picture showcasing either ample or perfectly shaped breasts.
Sometimes you even see pictures showing her leaning over to display her cleavage. These girls do not want to waste any time leaving the men guessing about the status of their sweater meat:
4. The Bedroom Shot
Next come the shots of the women cavorting in bed. These shots typically feature heels kicked up, an inviting smile, bra strap askew, or some other display of seduction.
5. The Girls Night Out Shot
Tinder girls are also found partying with their girlfriends, getting drunk on champagne, flaunting their little mini-skirts, and look within a hairsbreadth of jumping into some group sex. Suggesting they have lost their inhibitions is just what’s needed to lure men into swiping right.
6. The Bikini Shot
Then there is the fabled bikini shot, showing off elegant slenderness, flat stomachs, and breasts that can only be described in a word: extraordinary.
And the younger girls love to pose in pairs, each comparing how skinny she is in comparison to her girlfriend, usually at a well-known public location.
With all this intensifying competition, the girls at the top rung will be even more inclined to starve themselves on cold pressed juice diets, take even more yoga, barre, and pilates classes, spend even more on the finest lingerie, and shop for shirts, tops, blouses, and bikinis designed for maximum effect. More Botox treatments. More visits to the Laser Spa. More visits to the “How To” amateur boudoir photography sites.
What’s next?
My prediction is that Tinder will eventually morph into a photo slideshow designed to attract the attention of the most eligible males. In L.A. these are men with high connections in the entertainment or modeling industry, which will help the best looking girls up their fame game even further. The increasing level of competition between women will push out the “Have Nots” to Swoon or other venues of lesser quality, which in turn raises the bar for everyone else. Here’s what to expect next year:
Boudoir Shots
Like this one, not revealing too much, but just enough to get the guys salivating for more.
Amateur Lingerie Modeling Shots
The “Amateur” label is important, because nothing is hotter than a “Have” girl sensual enough to take pictures of herself in front of a mirror.
The Gap Grows Wider
So far, the newer girls I’ve seen on Tinder seem to be better and better looking. No need to install a “Fattie Filter” on that app quite yet. Many of them are putting in a catchy phrase or quote in the “About You” text box, along with an Instagram address so that approved males will be invited to look for more photos.
Just imagine knowing that you are in demand by hundreds of eligible men. Knowing that you will never be alone. That you are the envy of all the “Have Nots” who are stuck with bad genes or lack motivation and discipline to improve themselves. These women will be using Tinder in order to parlay their way up the food chain, to more successful alpha types, richer, better looking, and more accomplished men.
For the “Haves”, there is no longer a need to flirt around or issue promises of sexual encounters in order to get the right man in their grasp. The self-promotion tools like Tinder, Facebook, and Instagram do that for them. Meanwhile, anyone else who does not have the requisite good appearance to compete on these sites and attract attention are falling further and further behind. These unfortunate souls are left to deal with the horrors of matchmaking, online dating, and hookup apps like Blendr or Skout. These are rapidly becoming the favorite venues for “Foodies,” low-level women who sit at desk jobs all day snacking away, or customers of all the various “Plus Size” clothing stores. Good riddance.

Women are whores. They whore for money, they whore for attention to feed their ego, they whore to have children so that they can use men’s money to raise them, they whore to feel like a victim and receive sympathy for being “used” or “raped”, they whore to dampen their guilt about beings whores, and they whore and whore again to muddle it all and make it all seem normal and natural.
Enjoy their easy pussy my friend. If you get used than that is only a fault of your own.
it’s not hard to look beyond the tits and ass and see how insecure, needy and frankly ugly these earthling women are…
the smooth silky thighs, the firm pert breasts and the inciting thought of the pussy that lies waiting the more determined adventurer … is nothing more than an illusionists trick…
they are just animals waiting to be inseminated so they can breed… mooooooooooooo
LOL! You nailed it!
I’d like to see these 20 year old whores post up their baby bump and delivery room selifies without the hair and makeup? What man would swipe right after seeing that shit. Gross!
yep it’s all an illusion just like buying “rare” diamonds.
same scam. don’t fall for it and always ask for the HoeFax.
I’ve absolutely hated diamonds ever since I discovered how “rare” they really are. And that you can artificially make them. And the commercials this time of year! “He went to Jared.” Makes me want to puke. It is so poetic that they are a girl’s best friend.
Not sure why the author is negative about Blendr. It’s a good hook up app. I’m 47 and travel a lot in Asia, staying in top hotels as a business expense. Pulling hot twenty-something girls in Asia is easy and never gets old. Gotta love these docile little kittens.
Wow Skoll, that’s some serious anger you have. Not ALL women are whores. (Granted, MANY are. But by no means all.) You can’t blame a woman for wanting the bigger, better deal. Afterall guys always want the hotter babe. It’s really about knowing your place and accepting that average guys/gals will not attract the alphas under normal circumstances. The sooner people accept this, the sooner they will have realistic expectations and find happiness.
If you think about it facebook and other websites alike are like HOFAX, once a slut posts a pic its there forever.
Must be great being a hot chick these days. Gee, what do they even need us for. They may as well all just go lez.
hmmmm?…lets see a human penis,dick,shlong basicly everything a lez can’t give
with this trend I won’t be surprised to see full blown lesbians everywhere in the near future. These girls are getting brainwashed daily to act like lesbians by the media, won’t be long until it happens mainstream.
I find it really surprising only four of the women above were absolutely beautiful while rest were just of quality that can only be described as “not worth the risk”. I would to say that men should not date any woman with any form of online profile that has selfies or what not pictures of her on it…
Yup, 2’s across the board. None of them were fuckable.
Give me a break, Anime kid.
I never said they weren’t fuckable, but only 4 were actually stunning. That 300 pound hag is fuckable, so is that 120 pound bitch, and so is that 80 pound beauty. Your point? And what is wrong with anime?
80 pound beauty? Virgin detected. Dude my 5’6 girl is the tiniest I have ever had. 110 pounds. She does her squats, though. 80 pounds would be gross, and likely snap in half from the force of my dick.
The girls I usually get are around 5 or 5’2 barely 18-20 in the US. 80 pounds is fair in my regards. I like short, small breasts, and preferably 14 or 15 depending on if I’m in Croatia or Bulgaria.
There is probably a lot of merit in your observations but as someone who does not live in the LA Theater it is a little difficult to translate the shorthand. The haves and have nots bit at the end just doesn’t do the trick. You are probably onto something but the first impression is that unless one is on the west coast they probably don’t know. Reading through the article there was a constant want of concreteness. Pictorials can assist an essay but at this point it feels as if they were the attempt. It feels as if you are trying to impress upon the credulous what you have not quite proven to yourself. If there is any measure of the writing on this venue and the roosh articles will attest to it; it is that things be field tested or what is it they like to say, empirical? Nevertheless, it is heartening to know that there is a critical voice in this great mass of, one really wishes there was a lower case than lower case, culture.
What’s tinder?
Using Facebook profiles, Tinder gathers users’ basic information and analyses users’ social graph to match potential candidates that are most likely to be compatible based on geographical location, number of mutual friends and common interests.
Only after two users “like” each other are they able to chat within the app. Users have control over who they want to connect with so that they are not bombarded with messages or approached by people they don’t want to match with. Tinder is anonymous in that it does not post users activity within the app on Facebook or reveal their matches and interactions.
Tinder’s Matchmaker feature allows users to create a match between any two of their Facebook friends for any purpose. Once matched, the two friends can chat within Tinder without sharing their contact information.
Besides its matchmaking features, Tinder also includes two social games. The first, Hot Or Not, is a site that lets people rate strangers’ appearance. The second, “f*ck, chuck, marry”, is based off a high school sleepover game that allows players to pick which they would do to three people.
Tinder is currently available on the iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad, and Android devices.
Sounds like a waste of time… Who has time for all of this?
People use it to find instant hookups… I guess they have time for hookups.
Is site where nogame boys like on here download jerkoff pics then say they banged girl. Haha funny game they play
Here are some examples:
More Examples
Tinder is stupid.
It is nothing more than a reinforcement tool that women use to feel “hawt” despite what reality may say.
my ex is a 9 on Facebook pics but a 7 at best in the morning without makeup and heels, nothing special but on FB over 50 guys drool over her..
now she lives in FB land, what an interesting life she has,
They will hit the wall. They all do.
Mmmmmmmmmmm, nipples.
Old news. Girls who aren’t ugly have been trying to put on their best face for the men since the dawn of time, and no amount of feminist prattle can make them stop. I don’t really see how this is any different from the fifteen million pictures girls put up on Facebook of themselves with their friends, or the half dozen pictures a pretty girl will put up on a dating site. They are always going to show off what they know are their best assets, just like a guy will: only girls are a little more brazen about it, because for them, more is at stake. They instinctively know that their future well-being depends on catching the attention of powerful men, whereas for a man, the only thing hanging in the balance is whether not he’ll be getting his dick wet one particular night with one particular girl.
Little boys on here are jealous because they have nothing to show off so they mock girl. Boy with no money, brain or body is loserboy
isn’t a bar you should be at showing your “assets”?
Actually, Maria, you’re correct. A man with nothing tangible to show for himself is a loser. The thing is though, a social element is necessary too, because unless a man is in the top 1% in terms of both money and looks, girls still won’t be literally throwing themselves at him. That’s where game comes in: knowing how to talk to a girl, nothing more, nothing less. It’s not about tricking a woman into opening her legs, but rather about being able to show what you have. A girl on the street might know I’m good looking, but she’ll never know I have money, brains, and an interesting life unless I talk to her.
and who the hell are you to judge anyone? you look like a typical russian mail order bride..
you’re the loser for posting here. end of story.
so fuckin true!!
Great article.
“Just imagine knowing that you are in demand by hundreds of eligible men. Knowing that you will never be alone. That you are the envy of all the “Have Nots” who are stuck with bad genes or lack motivation and discipline to improve themselves.”
It works both ways. I find when I know I’ve got dates lined up, or just had a girl leave my bed, I’m willing to say the most ridiculous shit to women. I can only imagine how it’ll get when I step up my game and move further up the food chain in the art that I do.
PUMP AND DUMP!!! PUMP AND DUMP!!!PUMP AND DUMP!!! PUMP AND DUMP!!
For some reason the only thing I kept repeating, Stay thirsty my friends.
you sound very thirsty like u r in desert and camel won’t even piss on you
someone ban this fucking troll already. geez.
Question is would a camel piss on you? Yes, definitely…. after he spits on you first. From this pic, you’re already in position to receive a dromedary golden shower.
What is a Mashenka? Feel free to send me your number, I’m sure you can’t quench my thirst but more then likely your camel toe will have to do. Must be your favorite animal.
Well said.
I FUCKING LOVE THIS SITE.
I love the systematic, intelligently methodical manner by which all of you are taking apart silly modern women and their childish tricks. Piece by slow piece. No quarter given, no mercy shown. From the asinine christian bitch to eating disorder to slut tells…etcetera…. You people are definitely roasting the female hamster in pitfire.
Sunlight is the best disinfectant — Expose the putrid, decaying farce for what it is.
Field tested, motherfucker approved.
Keep up the good work.
Christian bitches are the WORST. I hate saying this not only because I’m a Christian myself but also because Scripturally speaking, Christian women are supposed to be lower on the bitchiness scale. But they aren’t.
If anything, they even worse than their secular bitch counterparts because they love using the Lord’s name in vain to excuse their bitchiness. Which means they’re even more self-righteous than the secular bitch because they actually think God is blessing them for their supreme arrogance.
It’s the old song and dance of how “I’m just too beautiful and awesome and too strong for you, that’s why you can’t handle meeeee”.
Except in the case of the Christian glamour girl / bitch, it’s given a religious twist.
“I’m a child of God and I don’t have to sit here and listen to your negativity. You just can’t handle that Jesus loves me more than He loves you because you’re just a man.”
In the end, it’s the same thing. Failure to kiss her royal ass gets you blocked and deleted on Facebook or wherever the hell it is she’s going to get her big fat ego massaged.
Oh, and you can forget about using the Bible on ’em. I should know, I’ve tried. The Bible is only the word of God in their world when it suits THEIR agenda. When it makes them feel good.
It’s a fucking disgrace.
You are NOT a Christian, only a poser.
Troll!
You are a church cuck.
You can blame the preachers who hardly ever teach anything substantive in church. It’s all about tithes and offerings. Most American Christians are ignorant of bible teachings.
So you spend all the time jerking off on Tinder?
When are we going to see you topless with Femen, baby?
What on earth is tinder?
You can download the Tinder app on your iPhone and check it out yourself
Thousands of girls on there, most of the young ones also post their Instagram address also so you can see more pictures in various poses and attire.
Tinder only allows a maximum of 6 pictures.
Every week the pictures get racier and more provocative.
As if they are all in a competition together as to who can post the hottest chicks and get the highest number of guys interested.
Hands down, it is the best window shopping app available. Anytime you are stuck in traffic or stuck in line at the grocery checkout you can open up the app and view hundreds of hot chicks with their selfie shots.
Simply amazing
“You can download the Tinder app on your iPhone. . .”
No, I can’t.
Funny how the chick on the left in the top-left photo for #5 looks like the Sheltered College Freshman meme chick …
Example: http://www.quickmeme.com/Sheltered-College-Freshman/
Typical usage: http://www.quickmeme.com/meme/3ren1d
Like you wouldn’t have fun with this …
Check out the latest South Park episode The Hobbit. Not really the same message but somewhat related and damn funny.
I know how to handle tits…..
LOL! And pretty much every one of these women would be “offended” if you “treated them like a sex object” or called them “attention whores”.
I have one standard photo I use on the web…the one to the left….suit and tie.
I don’t even know what Tinder is, but I will share that I joined Bodybuilding.com about two years ago to track my workout logs. The site is pretty slow and trying to log workouts is sort of annoying but I haven’t found anything better so I persist. I couldn’t help but notice after a few weeks the preponderance of women who post photos of themselves all sweaty and hardly any clothes in these freaky provocative poses. There’s one girl who seems to post a new shot everyday where the camera seems to be on her breasts and she is laying down, with these tiny clingy shorts and her crotch is all sweaty and she shoots the photo from across her stomach, over the crotch and down her legs. Really weird – I even sent the Admins an email to ask if it was a workout site or a porn site. I make it a point to not post any photos there at all yet still guys send me “friend” requests all the time. I can just imagine the attention whoring gratification these other girls are getting for their nasty photos. The site must have been changed recently because the bugs are so bad I haven’t been able to log my workouts there for several weeks – anyone have a workout site they can recommend?
Try Fitocracy. Great as a log
For logging workouts they make these things called paper and pen.
Honestly, I’ve banged out 2 of maybe 10 tinder girls I’ve met, (the second time we hungout).
But there are so many fucking fatties and landwhales, I almost always end up disappointed with every girl I’ve met on Tinder (There NEEDS to be a FATTY filter). My tinder game is decent, usually can close a number within 3 replies.
But my god girls are so fucking stupid on there and can’t even hold a conversation. I met one last night, I literally bailed on the bar we were at to go to a game so I didn’t have to talk to her the entire time.
ROK should make a gaming guide for Tinder which I think can have potential.
Like if you never heard of Tinder before
Q: How do you shake off the illusion (makeup, clothes, perceived hotness) they create?
A: Imagine them taking a crap and smelling their shit afterwards.
works like a charm.
As with all online social apps, I am late to the party. Actually, facegay is the only other social app I’ve used.
I recently dled it and have already exhausted the girls in my proximity. It is entertaining to chat with puss with zero strings attached, and the thought of developing something with such a minimal amount of effort is midly enticing to say the least.
I don’t see the harm in utilizing it. I’ve noticed that most of the women who have ‘liked me’ thus far usually wait for me to speak up which is unsurprising to say the least.
Silly moi, I figured a barrier of 1s and 0s would incentivize their natural sexual agressive nature but it appears as if the majority of these women are using the site in the same manner with which the OP described, i.e. as a popularity contest.
Is anyone having any luck with it?
: K
I wish tinder worked for me, it just doesn’t.
I get acknowledged and do fine dating IRL but I’m an absolute nobody on tinder.
Reading these article suck for me because I’m in no way invited to the tinder party
Exactly why I’m not on tinder.. http://alexiabergstrom.com/2014/01/21/why-im-not-on-tinder/
I would point out that men are just as likely to take these attention grabbing pictures. Perhaps they are not a condition of being female, but a condition of being human (and having a camera phone).
Attention whore equivalents for men:
1. Glamorous head shot = typical head shot of a guy, usually in an expensive suit so he looks oh so important and busy. Commonly known as putting your best foot forward.
2. Peek-a-boo = deep v-neck shirts, wife-beaters that are see-through with sweat, extremely loose-fitting tanks that expose the entire nipple and underarm.
3. Boob shot = the shirtless flexing shot, or worse, the penis shot.
4. Bedroom shot = guy shirtless and flexing in his tiny, bland dorm with clothes everywhere, an unmade bed, and what looks to be three week-old chicken wings.
5. Girls night out = bro night. What I really don’t get is that this site berates women who don’t have girl friends, or who have lots of guy friends. Yet when they take pictures that show that they can go out and interact with other women in a somewhat civil manner, they are called attention whores.
6. Bikini shot = swim trunks shot. Guys in packs of 2 or 3, tanned and leathery as a boot with ample oil on their muscles strutting shirtless down the boardwalk.
7. Boudoir/lingerie = again: underwear, shirtless or a close-up dick shot. Which one is truly worse?
Not all men take these shots, and not all women take these shots either. But they are common among both sexes that wish to attract someone of the opposite sex. For websites like Tinder, where the primary focus is to hook-up, girls know that guys won’t go for a covered up body, unsmiling face with dead eyes, and guys know the same, otherwise all internet profile pictures would look like passport photos. What fun is that?
Great article, can’t help to think though you forgot about the “angle” trick fat girls use to take selfies that make them look much thinner than they really are.
I think they had a similar article about how to tell if she’s really fat on Okcupid, but the one that really bothers me is the several group shot photos with a very attractive and unattractive friend, so you have to swipe to the end of the photos just to find out which one of them it really is. There’s a penchant for some girls to boost their attractiveness by taking photos with their less attractive friends by comparison, and there’s a penchant for less attractive girls to take photos with their more attractive friends to get initial interest, especially on a site like Tinder.
anything other then a recent bikini shot means shes fat.
Well, believe it or not, but there are slim girls out there with NO bikini shots whatsoever.
what’s the problem with Tinder? Lol I match tons of females, have dated, met and slept with lots of them too. Is it really that hard?
“Is it really that hard?”
Of course it isn’t. These idiots would rather just sit on their fat asses and complain about how women are attention seeking and they don’t get to date any of the hot chicks wah wah wah.
Typical Americans. A lot of them aren’t willing to put in the work to actually be men of value that would attract these hot girls, they would rather hide behind the internet anonymity and attack women for taking full advantage of their own sexual market values. And then some of the commenters high five themselves because they’re so slow and are just now realizing that a woman instinctively knows that her highest value to the opposite sex is her beauty and she’s going to use that to get the highest possible mate that she can. It’s evolution. It’s biology. And it breeds out lazy, pathetic losers that fill up the comment sections in blogs like these.
“We’ve cracked the female psyche! Yay us!” They genuinely sound like retards.
Damn. I was looking for some Gap Grows Wider shots.
