    21 days on Hinge – 31F [OC]


    Context: Looking for LTR in London.

    This is based on post-match data because the Hinge export doesn’t include Likes. (I don’t think Likes data would say anything new anyway, since high volume is well documented for straight women)

    Made at SankeyMATIC.com.

      These dating sankey charts are getting boring now. After each one I see, I think… “so what?”

      Wasn’t there a similar post today, from a guy who got ~60 matches total over a year, on Hinge and Tinder combined?

      I feel like a lot of the important data here are what’s NOT in the chart.

      You had a ‘no conversation’ category that’s huge – does this mean no messages were sent? IOW did you try to initiate a conversation at all and they didn’t respond, or did you just expect all the people you matched with to start the convo?

      You also have a ‘dead end’ category without definition… based on the complimentary category, the implication is that ‘dead end’ is <5 messages – is that true? Why did you let the conversation end- were these people responding dryly, did you not want to participate in a conversation, or was there just no mutual interest?

      Finally, your first date invite category doesn’t have a definition- were all these invited by the other person? This is logic assumption based on your sub categories ‘I declined’ or ‘he canceled’.

      At first i read the “ >=5 messages” as uncircumcised dick pics. And i thought “wow very specific, and apparently it works half the time”

      But then my brain caught up.

      I have gotten one (not counting bots) match over three years. This is crazy to see in 21 days.

      Dating app data, and the comments about the data on places like here, are always such an incredible reflection on social norms and gendered expectations that generally slips under the radar of people talking about “big picture” concepts. I always find these super interesting.

      I’d love to see the same chart from a guy. But to make it fair the data would also need to include how many swipes there were

      The one thing that these plots indicate to me is that swiping is a terrible, terrible way for men and women to establish any kind of relationship. Someone needs to bring back something like okcupid, and pledge not to sell out to match group. Enshitification is everywhere.

      Cut those numbers by 75% and it’s similar to a year of my time on dating apps. Luckily, I’m still married to the one and only girl I ever found there.

      Someone needs to take date-data threads and do the stats of these wimpy comment sections projecting on OPs data, it’s an emotional goldmine

      If this isnt proof that dating apps are heavily targeted towards men, idk what is. 😂

      So I have made this theory on how women date for quite some time and this post is a REALLY good example!

      Lets say a woman gets 100 matches, she dosent talk with half. Out of 50, half stop talking and is down to 25. About half continue talking, so we drop to 12. Out of those, half dont vibe and the other 6 get her number/insta/snap and a date. 3 continue “talking”, but mostly fall off, so she is left with 3. Those 3 she puts on option 1, 2 and 3 and decides as time goes on.

      Nothing wrong with this, but its such a perfect example 😀

      This is tragic. So much effort for so little return, even for a woman–56 matches to get 1 second date. At this rate, you could get better results just talking to people on the subway on your morning commute.

      Everyone should just get off the apps and go old school. Hang out where LTR people would hang out. Explore your friend network. Ask for set ups. Use a matchmaker.

      This sub is full of garbage “data” like this now lol. No one cares about your dating stats. It’s been done to death. Nothing here is interesting.
