I’ve began following the insta link on girls’ tinder profile to direct message them there in case I don’t get a match. My opener is

Hey ‘hername’, are you in ‘mylocation’? I’m here too if you can recommend the best viewpoint to take photos? I want to show some photos to my family back in Ireland
Thanks!

Reply rate is about 5%, I have gotten whatsapp numbers from about half of these. Any constructive criticism on my opener?

Depends on your look, but that's too indirect for me. I was usually way more direct when I had insta. "Hey found you on tinder. Let's see that bikini on you at the lake." Then again, I look like a savage, so that's more congruent. If you're more clean-cut, I'd go more direct but stay in line with that opener, something like, "Hey I know this great vista where we can get some solid sunset shots. Meet me Friday?"

You do realize if they give out their IG on tinder without matching first, they'll get tons of messages. So a 5% response rate is probably par for the course. As others said, play around with the opening message and see if you convert better. I've never done this because, iut of laziness, I tend to not match with those girls anyway. But then again, I haven't used tinder in months.

If a girl has her IG,SNAP or any other app linked in her tinder account please, PLEASE stay away from those girls....They are simply looking for orbiters and the attention. Nothing good is going to come out of you messaging a chick that u didnt match up with on tinder on a another app. Its all a ploy to give them an ego boost and to have u enter a race with about 100,000 other guys lusting after her attention while you guys feed her self esteem.

Take the advice i got here, set your search limit to 1 mile and any profiles that pop up outside of that 1 mile radius u will know they swiped right on you. Get more bangs with less hassle.

Yea its prolly gonna be some 5s and 6s that swipe right but i mean hey, do you want to be the guy being so picky over bangs that he deprives his loins for the nutrients it so desperately needs or do you want to be the guy thats got a surplus of puss

I generally agree with this but these days, it's all about what kinds of pics that are in her IG. If it's family and mundane stuff then she's probably using it in a normal fashion. If it's all glamour and party shots, she's definitely looking for orbiters to boost up her "likes" and the amount of followers on her account. If the former, I don't see anything wrong with taking a chance to message her via IG.

They are probably on tinder to publicite their IG profiles and get more followers.. but I do the same, if tits, go for its ))

If you have an awesome Instagram it can make a difference. On Tinder girl sees one photo on Instagram she will see more plus the following and engagement. I never really do Tinder to Instagram, but same rules apply as in Instagram online game.

It is a numbers game I have noticed that following or not following does not really improve replies a lot. So just like few photos to appear in her activities and hope that your thumbnail picture will draw her attention.

Surprisingly a lot of women check their message request folder. But it varies drastically depending on location.

If a girls account is private often times it means she is taken, 80% of times. Or she is just trying to get more followers this way. Anyways not worth following.

The other way around works too... I am getting likes and follows by girls from Tinder before matching/writing them. And also by girls I can't find on Tinder but are clearly in that Geolocation I adjusted - the girls following the girl that likes or follows me see the activity and go to my profile as well. Or I pop up as a recommendation.

I only check a girl's Instagram to see a) if she's not fat and b) what kind of girl she is. It's just a quick glance, I try not to waste time on it. If you don't consistently get matches with attractive girls, your tinder profile is off - or you are in a feminist country. If she seems to be attention whoring and promoting her "Instagram model" career (i.e. not matching/not answering on Tinder), it's rather pointless to join the legions of thirsty losers in her Instagram request folder with an indirect opener (like asking for guidance) that might have worked in real life or even Tinder (as it's context is dating/getting to know people), but out of the blue just cold calling with spam openers on Instagram as a strategy is off the table for me - with a conversion rate of 5% like you said it's not really worth the effort. I am talking about single cases that don't seem to be active on Tinder anymore, or attractive friends of my followers. I tried it out a couple of times and conversations always fizzled out. Also I don't really like it, can't put my finger on it why yet. Either it's glorious day game or even Tinder to get leads, but this Instagram spamming feels rather lukewarm and sending hundreds of messages out when they are attractive girls on the street (or a streamlined app with a clear frame of dating like Tinder). I try to keep open minded about Instagram as a main vehicle for lead generation, as Vinny seems to have success with it, but so far I am good with it being a helpful, rather passive assistance when doing Daygame or Tinder.
