Should I change my age on Tinder?

[ninjapickupartist]

[28M] I live in the city center, which is pretty close to multiple universities. I think most college girls set their max age to around 30, but some may even cut off at 25, so I'm thinking about changing my age from 28 to 25. I’m already getting a decent amount of matches but I want to optimize and maximize my reach. What do you guys think?

Yes.

As along as you look the part, of course.
Also, be prepared to answer why you say you’re younger in Tinder.

Thank you, will do. Well when we meet, I'll just go with 25 still. The only problem is if I keep seeing her after the hookup and we become FwBs or GFs or something. It's going to be weird if she later finds out that I was lying about my age by a few years. There's not really a good way I can BS myself out of that besides admitting that I was trying to match with more college girls lol

doing pick up gives you the opportunity to meet younger women who would otherwise set their age limit to 25 on dating apps. Be seductive in person and you can easily slide right past the somewhat arbitrary limitation she likes to think are so important when she is staring at a screen of 2 dimensional curated bios. No lying about age necessary.

I don't like online dating anymore, but back when I was 19 years old, I had the idea to set my age preferences on Tinder to 30+ only (while displaying my own age as 19). Had a hunch there were older woman out there that had a thing for young, innocent college guys, and that there would be less competition.

Well, I was right. Quickly matched with a woman probably in her early thirties that was very direct and DTF. Big, fake tits and a really nice body too. You can read more about it here if curious: https://www.skilledseducer.com/threads/lr-i-meet-my-match-almost-full-on-threeway.14989/

You'll probably get a larger dating pool if you set your age to 25, but you'll have a LOT of competition. It may be better to put your age as 28 or even higher, and then set your preferences to strictly college age, and see if you can find any girls doing what I did. Lot of college chicks with a kink for older guys - I once had the misfortune of going up against a freaking 40 year old with a sportcar and his act together when trying to get with one of the RAs in my freshman dorm.

...there are definitely plenty of college girls with a thing for older men. Just like many guys pass through an older-women stage. Except it isn't always just a stage.

“Have you ever dated 28 year old girls? It’s not fun… they all have the baby crazies… like, they are always talking of getting married and living together two months into the relationship…

I mean, I’m OK with all that but it feels so hurried with them…

I prefer a girl who is more chill… so I cheated a little”
