I Used AI to get a Girlfriend on Tinder

Introduction

In a world where loneliness can often strike hard, I found myself turning to dating apps in search of companionship. After some soul-searching (and persistent scrolling through social media), I decided to download Tinder, hoping to find a girlfriend. The challenge? I felt I looked average at best and had zero romance-inducing skills (RIS). So, in a bold decision, I decided to leverage artificial intelligence (AI) to craft the perfect dating profile.

The Quest for the Perfect Profile Picture

My journey began by trying to use AI to generate captivating pictures of myself. I aimed to put together a portfolio of images that would attract matches despite my average appearance. I stumbled upon a website that didn’t initially look shady, so I invested 19 Canadian dollars for their service. To my disbelief, after thinking I’d been scammed, I found that they fixed their website and successfully delivered 144 pictures. Unfortunately, most looked nothing like me or were downright terrifying. However, a few turned out to be reasonably believable.

Next, I discovered an exciting service dubbed the AI Time Machine, which offered to create 500 images of me in various historical contexts. Despite accidentally purchasing it twice (should’ve read the fine print!), I enjoyed the bizarre results. From being a Viking to a philosopher, the experience was endlessly entertaining.

Crafting My Bio with AI

Having generated several quirky images, all I needed was a bio that would mask the discrepancies in my pictures. I devised a plan—asking the AI to mention that I was a photographer, which I believed was plausible enough to sound real. Since I couldn’t use my actual name (because world-famous celebrities have to maintain some anonymity, right?), I selected a believable pseudonym.

With my profile all set, I began swiping through potential matches. Everything seemed to be going well until I was suddenly hit with a ban from Tinder. Determined to find love, I switched my focus to Bumble, which turned out to be less strict in terms of their guidelines.

Unexpected Matches and Conversations

Much to my surprise, I quickly matched with a girl on Bumble who mentioned her interest in chess. Completely oblivious to the game, I turned again to AI, requesting a funny chess pickup line. To my astonishment, she found it funny, and I realized that AI managed to strike conversational gold where I could not.

The interactions took amusing twists—with me asking her if she would still love me as a worm, her clever responses, and even some playful banter about an AI uprising. From inquiries into her favorite Katy Perry song to jokes about my newfound persona as a worm, the conversations took off.

While the delightful exchanges kept rolling in, I remembered how unreal the situation felt. I even confessed my initial intent of using AI to find a girlfriend, pondering whether, in fact, the AI had become the girlfriend all along.

Lessons Learned

Reflecting on these experiences, I realized that while using AI might not be the path to actual romantic success, the creativity and humor it injected into my conversations were invaluable. The experience underscored the importance of connection, whether it was through organic means or with a bit of digital help.
