Tinder swiping study reveals a feedback loop that forces users into ever more extreme strategies

“Our findings suggest a ‘feedback loop,’ whereby men are driven to be less selective in the hope of attaining a match, whilst women are increasingly driven to be more selective, safe in the knowledge that any profiles they like will probably result in a match.”

So tinder has basically become bumble.

WAW dude. Absolutely B R U T A L article. How can any sane person see this and not claim women in the modern era have a crushing advantage in dating. This is getting out of hand, there will be a conservative backlash to all this.

Men tend to like a large proportion of the women they view but receive only a tiny fraction of matches in return—just 0.6 percent. . . . “Even though the male:female ratio in our dataset is roughly even, on average, 86% of all the matches our male profiles receive come from other men,” say Tyson and co.

So... 0.084% if we only count matches from women? That's beyond brutal.

Just as puzzling is that one of their male profiles—the one showing the account to be disabled—received all its matches from women. Just why this happened isn’t clear.

Most bots have female profiles? May be a bad guess, I don't really know how Tinder works exactly.

"Some evolutionary stable strategy will emerge"

There is no way to be sure of this. Lol at bluepilled science reporting

Hypergamy on steroids.

Something changed. I used to get some matches on tinder. I get zero now (about the past 6 months)

I don't even.

so tinder is literally for women, and dare I say ugly women.

ConnorGracie · 2018-09-22T09:02:01+00:00

Is there someway to artificially make it more equal.

Good
