One in a thousand to even get a chance to talk to someone, what an encouraging system
The algorithm suppresses male accounts wih excessively high right swipe ratios
Yeah, not to defend the apps or anything but filtering out the people who put in no effort and approve 96%+ makes sense.
I get were you're coming from, but on the other hand most women put no effort to their profiles whatsoever. In my experience with Tinder 90-95% of profiles don't even have a bio, so how am I supposed to filter people based on some pictures and three tagged hobbies (which are usually bland like movies, travel, nights out)?
This is one of the reasons I don't use apps. I'd just have to not match with any of those 90-95%, at which point you're basically not using it at all.
That's cool you can go ahead and swipe them left then. Also:
Getting really close to understand why these apps are shit.
I think tinder uses Glicko-2 based on swipes to create an attractiveness ranking.
We let the (frequently maidenless) chess nerds take control of love.
They should probably limit how many swipes you get instead of having your swipes go into the void.
Oh they do
Unless you pay
