The best apps for dating in Malaysia will always be Tinder, Bumble and CMB. If you’re going for other apps it’s either because you’re very Cina (Tantan) or very Malay (Omi).

Tinder is the best for hookups. Avoid if you’re ugly or you have bad pictures. If you complain you’re only getting matched with bots chances are you’re unattractive that’s why only bots match with you.

CMB is the best for serious dating. Mostly populated by Chinese that speaks English. So if you speak lousy English chances are you won’t go far here.

Bumble is basically mixture of CMB and Tinder. Only difference is women start the conversation first. Here’s the thing. If you’re attractive, women would start off with great openers. If you’re unattractive, expect them to start off with “Hi” or “Hey”, or even ghost you because they just wanted validation.

As a reminder, women always have 100x more matches/swipes than you. Online dating heavily favours women. A very attractive women once showed me a tinder account. She has 4000+ matches there.

The initial matches you get a lot is called newbie boost which basically puts your profile on the upper stacks.

However, in a long run, you'll get lesser matches BUT if you're attractive, your profile will always stay on the upper stacks. Hey, Tinder isn't just for men you know, women use them too. Tinder ain't dumb to show them ugly men. Of course they would put up good-looking folks on the upper stacks. (good looking here meaning profiles that get a lot of right swipes). If you're ugly, Tinder will put you on the bottom stack hence why they complain they're not getting matches. Women who use Tinder swipe very little as basically everyone they swipe is a match, so it makes thing even worse for unattractive men as they're on the bottom stack.

If you don't believe me, try registering new tinder accounts on different numbers. You'll realise the initial profiles you see are always the same group of women. Vice versa is true as well.

TLDR: Attractive people have a free pass on Tinder and you don't need to pay. They get prioritized. Those who pay are often those who don't get a lot of right swipes to begin with.
