Tl;Dr - Full of scammers and fake profiles. Less than 10 genuine matches in a week of swiping through hundreds.
🔴50% or more matches are scammers calling guys to obscure locations for date. Metro stations, city outskirts, shady bars. Will never accept your choice of venue, will insist on theirs (obvious giveaway)
🔴20-30% have pics of flowers and gods , very less likely to be genuine or active
🔴10% responded but not interested in meeting
🔴Less than 3% might convert to dates but unlikely
It's pretty clear Tinder PMs and product owners haven't even tried using Tinder themselves in India. If they did, they would realise how unusable it is for the demographic that pays them the most. Zero profile moderation, bots and fake profiles/scammers mostly.
Completely gone to shit, waste of time and money, not worth trying at all. Sad to see as an early user of Tinder in India. I made many friends and even dated an ex through Tinder in the past, but none of that is possible anymore.
Did my part by taking some of the scammers for a ride and reporting on Truecaller. But they seem to have multiple sim cards and people running this racket everyday. Not sure if police will accept complaint for this, sharing the numbers below. Do with them what you like.
