Yes except obviously the less attractive are going to match. I'm still not clear on exactly how it works but basically I assume there are two lists of pictures -- male and female. Everyone gets the complete list and you go threw and select people you think are attractive. When two people select each other it sets off an alert and you each get told about the match.
I suspect that what you'll have is an inverse correlation between how attractive a girl is and how many guys she selects as possible matches.
It is funny because getting a job in law in Ontario was based on the same match system and I can't believe it never occurred to me that this would work for dating. No one has mentioned how they make money from this -- I assume ads of some kind or maybe they are just building it up to monetize later.
In the theoretical sense yes there are lists of pictures. But in the actual sense you dont have access to this list at your own discretion.
Basically you get shown a profile like this(on the right obv):
This has a profile pic, age, first name, number of mutual friends, and number of shared interests(also number of pictures they have in their profile). You can do one of three things, either click on the photo to open their profile, or just swipe left for dont like and swipe right for like(or actually click the heart/x).
The profile is limited to:
More pictures
Distance away
Last active
Shared interests/friends
and a tagline, which you can type something up like a dating profile, although most people have less than 2 sentences, usually including the college they go to if they do, or generic **** you see on all dating profiles.
You are right in that its harder to bat out of your league on tinder. You cant even get your foot in the door if the girl doesn't find you meeting her minimum level of attractiveness. Hot girls will def use the app for ego boosts, but they will also meet up with people too.
The key is to not just devote a lot of time simply because you got matches, I imagine matches dont mean much to girls at all(outside of the very very picky), you should send an opening text and you should be able to gauge pretty easily within the first two messages if shes actually keen or what. Its not like something you should be doing at night, do it during the day when you have free time, taking a **** or whenever you are not really giving up something to do it. If you treat it like this its effectively a very very minimal risk and decent amount of reward.
And majority of meetups form tinder are probably not going to be strictly sex, its similar to other dating sites in that regard. You will probably meet up with her for drinks or something first.
