Tried following Manson's ideas, i.e. basically 'being myself', on a few Tinder dates recently without much success.

Not to big myself up, I'm far from perfect, but the last date was with a girl who was by all accounts lower than me in terms of status and looks - short, not particularly beautiful, not in a particularly good job, and even had bad breath.

I'm keen to get away from the whole running routines and faking malarky, but I'm pretty sure if I'd done the usual - shown disinterest, run lines, kinoed, escalated etc. I would have had more success. The whole thing did feel like a 'friend' thing.

Any thoughts?
