This discussion wasn't about which site to use, it was about when you're on a given site, how much does it make sense to swipe.

And the only logical answer is to swipe as much as possible. Moving to another app doesn't change that.

How do you think that translates to the context of online dating?

There are no rooms, just 1-1 matches.

You can't stand out more by swiping less, can you? Your best strategy is always simple to swipe as much as possible (until the algorithm punishes you for doing that.)

> 4.5% makes a lot more sense to me than 61.9%

Seems backward?

Why artificially limit your dating pool based on something as superficial as a 10-word profile and some photos? Surely makes sense to be open to meet as many people as possible?

> So what I don't understand then is if all these women are getting huge amounts of matches, how can men be getting less matches?

I don't understand what you're confused about.

Men swipe on a large proportion of women.

Women swipe on a small proportion of men.

So most women's swipes will be reciprocated, most men's won't be.

Not sure why you can't see how it would work?
