I dunno, I thought it would be higher. I guess I’m just a slut surrounded by sluts (positive).
What do you think about the number? Does it surprise you? Does it surprise you that it surprises me? Did you expect it to be lower maybe? If so why?

I just find this interesting. No judgement (unless you want that you dirty little gremlin)

    They’ve made the amount of likes limited unless you pay. I don’t use it myself since I’m married but i remember videos of people setting up diy swiping devices and just mass liking everyone.

    Seems like math to me. If you can only like a few people a day you’re not going to get nearly enough matches to get sex consistently. Coupled with the fact that, presumably, the app still feeds you people who haven’t logged in forever makes sense to me

      Not only that but they make it so any matches you do have are sorted to be close to your last like, to encourage you to get a subscription. Also other stuff. Tinder is also weird in that you sort of have to have “game theory” going - If you swipe on someone who doesn’t swipe on you, then you will get shown less times. So you should swipe on people you are certain you can match with. However the app also uses your swipes to figure out your preferences, so just going for “they seem like the type that would be into me” will end up with you not really having any assurance of being shown someone who might strike your fancy.
      All the apps do algorithms, but tinders is especially terrible and the one where you really have way out of the “marketplace” mentality.
