So after months i signed up with this tinder thing, then took another month to actually try it, just to see you have to pay 30 euro to being able to do most stuff unless you find a woman who likes you, come across her profile and like her too.

Had a colleague that apparently found a girlfriend through tinder, but i wonder how much isn't just fake, so many pictures of women that looks like they wouldn't have any problem finding someone without an app. Anyone else had success stories with it?
Or through something else.

I found my significant other through Tumblr. We've been together over a year now. :D

I know a lot of happy couples, and they've met in just about every way:

school girlfriend/boyfriend
random hookup that became a serious thing
dating app
friend of a friend
through work

Some of them were looking for something serious, some weren't. In the end, there is no one way, every way has a chance of working. Part of it is a numbers game - meet enough people and you'll eventually find the one that's right for you. Another part is attitude - everyone is evaluating their potential partners, and if they can't figure out what's special about you, they move on to the next. Think of it like selling a home - you clean up your mess, maybe throw on a fresh coat of paint, maybe even bake fresh cookies or brew coffee to get that "home" smell. Or maybe you cover up some burns with a rug. It's still the same home, but you're presenting it in the best light possible. Now, that doesn't mean lying. Yes, you dress a little nicer for a date, but you don't wear a suit unless you do so every day. You don't make up a job just to impress, but if you do talk about your work, you present it in the best possible light. In essence, you show the best parts of your true self.
If you're not a talker, be a good listener.

What if you have no job or a shitty one though?

then don't spend a lot of time talking about your job. instead, talk about your dreams.
"I hate my job" is a turn-off. "Right now, I just do X, but I'm working really hard to get my dream job doing Y" sounds like someone with ambition. And ambition is very sexy. as long as it's somewhat realistic; the 30-something person I knew who was still aspiring to be a professional athlete, but couldn't get through tryouts for semi-professional teams came off as an idiot

This is some sage advice right here. I'd thumbs-up your comment if I could!

The most stupid way possible:
The old "Hot or Not" application/game on Facebook.

The amazing thing is: I know at least 2 other couples who met in the exact same way!

At the supermarket, I was found attractive and followed until there was enough courage to tell me something. It's a sweet story, not creepy as it may sound!

Local anime/gaming/tcg store xD
Back then I had no job and was there about every day to play Yugioh/Magic and she was there sometimes too. After a year she asked me if we want to meet for dinner and yeah... it's been close to 3 years now
