Women only swipe right on 12%.
I knew some guys would swipe right more than women but wasnt prepared for how little women swipe right!
2.I used to work at Bumble, although this was about 4-5 years ago.

The most depressing stat though was the histogram of word count in messages.
Looking at human, digital mating habits splayed out in data science form was really depressing.
3.I ran operations for an online dating company (notably not affiliated with Match).
From database analytics I can tell you a few things.
4.I used to work with a guy who had been an engineer for Match.com.
5.A friend wrote her master thesis about the different criteria in online dating and real life.
6.I worked for Match for a couple of years.
Also, its a big problem that women are inundated with DMs while most men get none.
7.I used to moderate OK Cupid.
The amount of unsolicited dick pictures men would send women, not even accompanied by any words was horrifying.
I had to look at each reported picture and say, Yes, thats a penis.
8.Most dating sites and apps are owned by one company, The Match Group.
They have a near-monopoly.
I think Bumble is one of the few not owned by them.
10.I did a study on how dating app usage affects someones narcissistic tendencies (whether adaptive or maladaptive).
11.I read a blog by a guy who used to work for OK Cupid.
If that isnt creepy I dont know what is.
With the idea being that it would put people in similar tiers to actually match.
13.I helped software engineers optimize their profiles.
Men get VERY FEW matches, regardless of how good their profile is.
Women get A LOT of matches, but most of those matches are useless.
14.We used to create fake accounts and chat with users.
It was everything from someone having a premium account that wasnt getting responses to bored employees.
15.Lots of gay guys get banned from Grindr selling weed.
Would get a lot of emails of why am I banned?
This would encourage them to pay to renew their subscriptions.
Once they renewed, he would ghost them.
He only lasted for a few months due to how unethical it was.
17.Almost every dating app has a significantly larger percentage of men than women.
18.My old boss was the financial controller of a big dating site.
19.Many apps seed attractive bots to keep people engaged.
The bots will send / respond to a couple of substandard questions.
How was your week?
What are you looking for?
20.Get some decent profile photos.
