Dating Apps Genius - Using science for matches

Men don’t have it easy when it comes to using location-based dating apps like Tinder, Bumble, Happn, Skout, Badoo, and Woo. It can be a frustrating experience. But we’re here to help.

According to one recent study (using Tinder) of all the likes from male profiles, 0.6% of these resulted in matches. However for women (also using stock profiles, with no bio and one photo) the return was 10.5%. The women’s stock profiles were 17.5 times more likely to receive a match per like than the male ones!

Other studies report similarly depressing findings. For instance, women like or ‘swipe’ on 14% of the profiles they are presented with whereas men swipe on approximately 46%. In other words, you face immense competition.

But there are ways to improve your odds and that’s where we come in.

We conducted an extensive review of the available scientific and popular literature looking at which factors can influence swiping and response behaviour and compiled this into easy to implement advice.
