I downloaded the Tinder app for a bit of fun...

 

It seems that in order to message/contact women, one has to sign up to a subscription that is anything from about 400 - 1000 baht per month.

 

Am I missing something here?  Who in their right mind would pay up to $30 a month just to send messages......?

 

 

I never used the apps but from what I know people expect more than sending messages. 

Well, "400 to 1000", what are you complaining about? That's just one bar fine.

Hahahahaha.... Yeah sure

Just asking for a friend, honest ????

I guess the 400-1000B subscription will be the smallest part of your expenses. ????

Wank Wank keep the money in the bank...

For 10 baht you can catch a bus to Soi 6, where there are hundreds of women just dying to meet you. And no fake photos. 

 

Or you can go to 6/1, if that is your fancy - hey, whatever floats your boat, I'm not here to judge you, fella. Watch out for the fake tits, though.

Tinder gives you both paid and free options. Paid option is ad free. Both options show pictures of other tinder users and you can swipe right if you like them. If the other tinder user also swipe right on  your picture, you both can exchange messages in both free and paid versions.

No I know..

It was meant to be that classic line that people use, asking for a friend !!

Man has 2 heads. Only 1 works at a time. I think it was Robbin Williams who said that

Well, that's where I seem to be going wrong.  Tinder alerts me that I've received messages - I click on the link and it asks me to subscribe with my credit card to read these messages....

 

As for 10 baht to soi 6 - I'm 300 metres from the Mekong river, so likely to cost me a little more in both time and money.  Besides, I've seen prettier females on a pig farm...

What pig farm would that be? Asking for a friend ...

Tinder - why so expensive?

It's just the same as why do so many guys pay 1000Bt barfines, ridiculously

expensive 300Bt lady drinks that would cost about 15Bt in 7-11. The members of the "fat, ugly, tattooed" brigade spring to mind.

Some aging people are getting better and better...

Crazy to not even feel ashamed to be so ridiculous...

 

it was sold to the Chinese, they need to (fast) recuperate their investment

You'll most likely get more "hits" if you sign up for grindr instead....

You don't need to pay to send messages on Tinder.   You just need to match with the person.  

If you are not matching then you can't send messages.

No need to shout Possum!   LOL

Tinder is owned by the Match Group, an American company.

 

Grindr, the gay app was owned by the Chinese but it was compulsorily sold earlier this year because of the amount of American's data it held.

 

Perhaps you got a little confused.

 

The Chinese have their own dating apps in their own Hanzi language.

I paid for one month when I first moved here. Got well over 100 line contacts and banged a different girl nearly everyday for the first 60 days, nothing over 1200 to my door. I went to bars maybe half a dozen times. 

I reckon thats pretty good value personally

I don't have any tattoos.

I'm matched - and I'm being asked for $$$ to send her a message...

 

Bugger it - easier to have a w**k ????

Tinder is free. Spend money on reading glasses instead

like many apps the basic app, which is fine and works well, is free. if you want to buy add ons then you can. i have used tinder in here and in the uk successfully without paying a setang.

 

as an aside; thailand tinder is hard work as many girls here use it as a way to boost their self esteem or because they are bored, they have have no intention of meeting anyone in the real world. whereas in the uk most girls are more grounded, want to meet and are not time wasters.
