You had to change the sheets? Wow, good girl!
I did a bit of digging on the algorithm and process of Bumble, Tinder and Hinge because a lot of weird
tit was happening and I knew I wasn’t just mental. Here’s something’s that I learnt:
1. If a person has swiped right on you and you have swiped left, their profile will appear once more to give you a ‘second chance’!
2. If you swiped right (or vice versa) on a person and then delete and re-activate your account, you will match with that person again and again - this may explain why that pesky person doesn’t reply!
3. On average if a person does not respond to your message within 4 hours, it is likely they never will. This is especially true if the match falls on them and you have sent the first message within that time frame.
4. People who match with you late at night are least likely to respond to your message if you send it the next day (regardless of time).
5. The majority of Saturday and Sunday morning swipers are simply ‘horny’ or even worse ‘hungover and horny’ and looking for instant titillation. Nearly all will turn the conversation sexual within the first four messages.
6. Nearly half of all profiles you swipe right on will swipe left. Of those that match you, another half will not respond to the messages and a third of those will be lying about wanting a ‘relationship’, are married or attached or are not suitable. There are then a proportion of the total left that will only answer one message, or ghost you before a date.
7. Approximately 35-40% of profiles are either fake or inactive.
8. You can be blocked from Tinder, Bumble or Hinge for just copying and pasting the same message to more than one match or from just one minor complaint that may not even be true. None of these apps will ever tell you the reason why you are blocked.
9. You can verify yourself on your account and still upload pictures of someone completely different afterwards! As long as a real face is seen, it does not have to be you. It is even easier if you use group shots!
10. All three apps track your movements and even know what type of porn you watch!
