There is so much interesting information in this article. Some excerpts from the "Fun Data" section:
- 75% of girls want someone taller than them.
- Users with iOS are more attractive, have better retention, and are younger than users on Android. I strongly believe Tinder and co. boost users that have iOS vs Android.
- 1% of guys received 10% of the likes, 3% of the guys received 20% of the likes, 10% of the guys received 40% of the likes, and 20% of the guys received 55% of the likes.
- More than 50% of men just never receive a like, and never means maybe 2 or 3 likes in the lifespan of several weeks
- Only 50% of girls sent 10 likes in their account lifespan.
If you are looking to improve your performance on dating apps, this is a good read. It is also just a super curious read about human behavior. And ultimately a critique of the dynamics that these apps introduce and how it sets expectation. Maybe dating isn't like shopping.
