Insane Results: My Tinder Experiment shows the Reality of Online Dating

The results could not be clearer

Have you ever used Tinder? How were your results?

I came across some interesting data a while ago that said it’s incredibly hard for men to get on online dating platforms like tinder.

When a mate told me about his modest results on Tinder after a few beers, I said that it was also very hard for men and referred to the statistics I had seen. My buddy didn’t really believe me and thought I was just trying to build him up.

In case you were too lazy to read the entire article, here are the main points:

  • There are by far more men on Tinder (78.9% of users are men)
  • Women are much pickier. They only like 14% of men, while men like 46% of women on average.
  • The few likes of the few women are very unevenly distributed. Almost all women like the same men. Namely, mainly the top 20% by attractiveness.

So if you’re a normal guy and you don’t look like Brad Pitt, it’s probably not that easy on tinder. Women on the other hand seem to have a great choice.

Back to the bar to my buddy and me. After beating a few people playing table football and having already had at least 4 beers, we decided to do a test. Because he was still skeptical about my claims.

The Experiment

So we created two different tinder profiles. One with pictures of me and one with pictures of my girlfriend. To make it as comparable as possible we used 3 pictures each: one of us alone, one with friends and one doing sports.

Then we waited for 24 hours.

When the time was up we met again to check the results. It was a good hit to my ego. I can say this much in advance.

My girlfriend got more than 99 likes. How many exactly we could not see. So it may well be that it was several hundred. I, on the other hand, got a whopping 12 likes.

Hm ok. This result is clear. But maybe she is just much more attractive than me. So we repeated the experiment with pictures of my friend. He got 10 likes. We are both physically very fit and I wouldn’t say we are unattractive. So it actually seems to be very hard for men to succeed at online dating.

The Lesson

Guys, better try it in person in real life.

I am sure that in this way the chances of success with a nice lady are much higher for most of us. Here you can at least score with other things, like your character or humor. After all, it’s not just the looks that count.

When it comes to online dating, the odds are clearly against us. There are quite a few female users who are very picky and only like a small percentage of men.
