I cashed out of online dating before tinder was a thing, how many orders of magnitude higher should a guy’s mutuals per right-swipes % be if his profile isn’t complete toxic dogfood?
2.5% is the average for men. The fact that women swipe right on 7% of profiles but men only get a match 2.5% of the time hints at how big the gender imbalance is.
Used to see dudes just power swipe, fast as they could without even looking at them. The "gender imbalance" is that women might have actually thought once or twice before deciding. 😂
you have to answer a questionnaire after it detects two phones with tinder installed were near each other
[ ] attraction?
[ ] sex?
[ ] if y, did you say you loved them
[ ] did you get married?
there are distinct challenges in it for people of any gender identification but if you have an experience resembling this, you're doing something wrong
I got that number from google, but then after your reply I looked into it more and there’s no way of knowing unless you have access to tinder’s inner workings. Your number seems to come from a website called tinder insight but that’s just self reported not the actual numbers.
Why the FUCK does TINDER give better data than NETFLIX does to its directors, actors, and showrunners? (Except in France, where they're legally obligated to share that information - and Netflix d'Francois hasn't slid into the ocean, I'm pretty sure)
Literally the only time I ever got a date out of Tinder it was because a woman I already knew irl saw me on there and we hooked up lmao. Use Bumble you will get way more success.
What's sad is this shows the guy was actually being kind of selective too. Sure, 72% of swipes were to the right, but he wasn't just right swiping on anything with a pulse either. All of that over 6 years to get practically nowhere.
in my experience it's very common for people to match and not say anything. some folks swipe right on everyone and only msg people they're actually interested in
To be fair, every time I've ever seen someone use tinder, they don't even look at profiles, they just take a quick glimpse of the first photo and swipe, many times in one second
It's probably because you have to "swipe up" (well tap, since they made super likes now) to see the profile.
All phone-based dating apps suck for various reasons. But the major one is that they hide too much information for matches to actually "matter" for the sake of a hot-or-not meat market.
I don't think Tinder (or most, or possibly any phone based dating apps) were made to form deep, meaningful connections betwixt two people. It was meant to find quick flights with people near you geographically, and it can't even do that right, but that's more of a societal issue than an app issue.
I don't know. I can see it with Tindr, but Grindr/Scruff/et. al. gay apps? I can see your point. Those were first and foremost "hook-up" apps (hello, dickpic openings). But the "straight" apps (T, Hinge) were sort of meant to be "traditional" dating but do it so badly that it's baffling to me.
To be fair, I have been (very luckily) out of the dating scene for a long time, so my only experience with the apps is the anecdotal experience of others who have kindly explained their experiences. But yeah, there seems to be a deep lying issue with how the apps handle connections. Who knows?
It depends on the guy, and on the girl. It's not that deep, long-lasting, and meaningful relationships can't happen on those apps, more so that the apps were designed more simply to put two people into contact with each other, but not by anything more than "judging a book by its cover"
Congrats! I didn't mean to say that it couldn't be done, and I'm glad that it did for you! I meant more that I feel it wasn't necessarily designed for deep, long lasting relationships, but not that they couldn't happen. The main goal was to quickly put two people into contact, and not much more, IMO

This one definitely considers themselves a “nice guy”.

Because the former is "WTF" while the latter is "ok, I can see why only 1."
