grindr?

wugs5 · 2020-02-15T18:23:10+00:00

Bet you half of the "women" accounts counted on POF are fake/bots

The-_Captain · 2020-02-15T18:37:08+00:00

So coffee meets bagel has as many women as an app for gay men... that’s going to do wonders for their sales lol.

theygothacked · 2020-02-15T19:04:41+00:00

Where's hinge?

naman_99 · 2020-02-15T18:23:35+00:00

Not too bad actually, still no one ever swipes right on me...

Lezonidas · 2020-02-15T18:25:46+00:00

I expected worse

sfaticat · 2020-02-15T21:44:30+00:00

Surprised Bumble doesn't have a higher number of girls. The app seems to cater to them more

LoAdEdPoTaTo281 · 2020-02-15T18:54:09+00:00

Looking like cigarettes

Number5is_ALIVE · 2020-02-16T08:39:33+00:00

I always found plenty of fish to be more like plenty of whales.

This is why I prefer cold approach. Unless you are an above average looking guy, your choices are going to be slim. In addition, your competition is every dude on Tinder who she's attracted to who finds her even remotely attractive. Irl, you put yourself on another playing field. You get to lessen the importance of looks in the equation and give your personality a chance to shine. You get to show confidence. Almost no one else is going about it the same way as you, the competition is low. You find girls who aren't on Tinder and rarely generate dating leads because guys don't approach anymore. As nervewracking as it is, cold approach is the way to differentiate yourself in the digital era.

Sinyst · 2020-02-15T17:39:28+00:00

I think we all knew what this would look like

BarbaricLeak · 2020-02-15T21:52:54+00:00

Looks like an ad for match.com

ishan_srivastava · 2020-02-15T18:25:14+00:00

Remove app: Tinder.
Double Click to Install: Match.com 😳(Do they even have an app?)

Gnostromo · 2020-02-15T20:55:40+00:00

I don't have to be faster than the bear I just have to be faster than you

stealthdawg · 2020-02-15T21:08:17+00:00

Well they need to do a follow-up poll after this article is out for a bit. Watch that match.com ratio even back out 😂

GoldenAxe_7t7 · 2020-02-15T21:29:42+00:00

What you forgetting to mention is 80% of women’s Profiles on tinder are fake/ig whores

lapisfalalazuli · 2020-02-17T14:04:39+00:00

I met my man on LinkedIn.

smgtn · 2020-02-15T21:50:30+00:00

Wait, there are still women on Tinder, not just bots? 😆 Seriously though, I didn't get shit on Match of POF, fuck those shitty dying sites.

Also pretty fucking ironic that there are even less women on fucking Bumble when it was created in mind that women will initiate the conversation. I guess women don't really like to initiate, do they? What a fucking surprise 😆

NoChannel1 · 2020-02-15T19:03:52+00:00

I've actually had a lot of success with Ok Cupid and I normally stay away from online dating.

Throwaway235036 · 2020-02-16T19:51:27+00:00

I don't know if this is true. I've seen dramatically different information on this.

Also, they should also mention if this is "people who have ever signed up for the site" or if it's "active users". I've seen a lot of female friends sign up for Tinder and then cancel it. That would get counted in the "number of women who signed up" number, but they wouldn't be active users, so you'd get a wrong understanding of the gender ratios there.

Companies also have an incentive to lie about their number of female users. Remember how Ashley Madison was making fake female accounts? In general, these companies are going to have an incentive to inflate their female user count.

Other data:

March 2019: "There are 2x as many men as women on Tinder [33% women]. Bumble has 50/50 men and women [50% women]." https://blog.photofeeler.com/bumble-vs-tinder/

April, 2019: "Men outnumber women on Tinder by almost nine to one [i.e. 12% women], while even “female-friendly” apps like Bumble have fewer than 20% [female users]" http://www.netimperative.com/2019/04/online-dating-trends-men-outnumber-women-on-tinder-by-9-to-1-while-grinder-wins-for-age-diversity/

April 2016: According to this graphic, Tinder is 43% women. Bumble is 46% women. Grindr is less than 7% women. https://miro.medium.com/max/1046/0*Jwl0dTOWSJblyBul.png

What should I tell my friend who says Coffee Meet Bagel is the only dating app he’ll ever use and that I’m stoopid for using Hinge?

JackShowsOff · 2020-02-16T10:21:52+00:00

Oh I was pointing out the 2 gender thing...but okay

rydendm · 2020-02-16T10:33:13+00:00

Time to quit Coffee Meets Bagel. I had a feeling something was up with that app

sr3xr · 2020-02-16T13:37:07+00:00

Now that this is on Reddit, Match is going to be at the bottom of the list.

Balaskas · 2020-02-16T14:17:54+00:00

Are these only USA statistics or Global? Thanks for the infos though, very interesting, just proofs why dating apps are not advantageous for men.

kittenrabies74 · 2020-02-16T14:48:22+00:00

Grinder is for men on men

levji_kralj · 2020-02-16T15:09:29+00:00

Surprising? No. Interesting? Definitely.

Bergatario · 2020-02-16T15:49:25+00:00

How do you explain that isolated tribes on the Amazon have 2 clearly defined genders that more or less conform to what we see in the west. I.e. men are hunters and women stay at home and take care of the children. If we made up gender, then all isolated tribes would be gull full of non binary trannies, but that's not the case.

dropyouweaseley · 2020-02-18T15:37:53+00:00

Interesting. Met the girl I’m currently seeing on Happn. She lives where I work and works where I live. Although we’re not gonna make it long term, still a pretty cool way to match people up.

Secounds after this post was posted, the split on Match.com just switched to 80% men.

Eddie_Hitler · 2020-02-16T01:37:15+00:00

Match.com is honestly the only one seriously worth using. It's definitely worth the (often heavily discounted) money and it's by far the most mature and worthwhile of these sites. It's easily been my most successful and because it's paid and with a slightly older user base (seeing anyone aged below 25 is rare) they take it a lot more seriously.

EHarmony was truly dreadful last time I tried it. Very few people in my area and nobody ever replied to messages.

Plenty of Fish? More like Plenty of Bots. Anyone on there who does happen to be real, is generally very down at heel and not the sort of person you would ever likely want. It's very hard to get replies.

Tinder and Bumble are just narcissistic, self-serving thot nonsense.

Happn is creepy.

I've never used the others... and I'm definitely not in the market for Grindr.

luplcz · 2020-02-16T13:44:25+00:00

Where is Badoo?

pureresilience11 · 2020-02-15T18:00:42+00:00

Already knew this. Men swarm these apps in the pursuit of pussy

CnoelC · 2020-02-15T18:45:13+00:00

Same of us might find this interesting.

welshwelsh · 2020-02-16T02:09:04+00:00

Match, PoF and eHarmony have much older userbases than Tinder, Bumble and CmB.

That's why these differences exist. The older you go, the more single women outnumber single men.

JackShowsOff · 2020-02-15T20:19:55+00:00

I bet the LGBT community is heated at this...
