Profile Optimization, Algorithms, Activity Rate, etc.
Let's explore these:
1. Profile Optimization
You have a ~3 seconds to grab a girls attention.
Your entire potential to match hangs on interrupting her mindless swiping by striking an emotion.
And all you have to do that is a few pictures and a tweet length bio.
So what to put there?

Pictures:
Never put the full amount. Bumble offers 6, put 4.
This eliminates appearing too invested in a dating app and offers her a chance to think more.
The 4 you do have, HAVE to be interesting.
-Physical Activity
-Friends Pic
-Fun Pic
-Casual Nice Pic

Don't put selfies.
Get *high quality* pics of you doing things that make you stand out.
I put a picture of me surfing so I could show the abs without it being a typical gym pic.
A boxing pic to show more physical activity.
A pic of me & a friend drinking on the beach.

You have to showcase a life she could have fun joining.
The photos get her attention, the bio will decide the swipe.
Can't seem like a player or desperate, you have to seem nonchalant but entertaining.
Wrote some examples in the next tweet (Theyre not great, just off the dome)

"Imagine this, we match, I tell you a joke, we end up getting drinks then arrested for not social distancing bc you tried to hold my hand."
"Yeah Covid is bad but have you ever had something stuck in your teeth & nobody tell you?"
"Going to chik-fil-a, you want anything?"

Add some personal accolades if you wish, but don't make it seem like you really care for her attention.
You could also put something very rude in your bio so she'll match just to tell you off. This is useful if you can save it, orrrr because you know the algorithm *likes* this

2. The Algorithm
Every dating app has a ranking system.
They gauge your attractive level off of engagement.
Matches, messages, super likes, *your activity,* etc all play a role in creating a score for you to show profiles you might match with.
But not always to have success.

But not always to have success.
The app makes money off you.
It wants to keep you hooked by giving limited success.
This is why that score matters.
It punishes your profile for going against the system like swiping right on everyone.
The algo doesn't like this and will put you at the bottom of others piles.

Imagine this ranking system like this:
You have a score out of 100
When you first make your profile you get a boost to be shown to more people
This allows it to create an your average score of based off of who likes you.
This will build the window of profiles you'll see.

If a bunch of 45/100 like you and a few 80/100 like you, your profile score will be like 63/100.
It'll show you a window below & above the 60's.
It attempts to give you the best chance of matching to keep you as a customer.
Many things effect your profile score:

It's not always bad to match with an ugly just to message her, continued engagement makes you seem more attractive.
My first messages use to be something profound & inappropriate joke just so I could get a response to boost my ranking.

Even if I had no interest in the girl, I'd chat for like 10-20 messages back and forth at least.
The higher your score is, the higher you show on girls swipe piles giving you more chances to move into the higher ranked girls window.

I don't know how long people typically use dating apps, but when you appear higher you match more often.
Hinge has that "most compatible" daily account. It has to rank you based off preference & score to create this
It knows I like skinny brunettes, thats normally what it shows

But the algo doesn't always work in your favor.
Right swipe until you run out? It brings your score down.
You want ~60-80% right swipes so it can keep building your score.
It can also begin throttling your profile if you talk too much with one person on there.

It knows if you are too invested in one person, you won't swipe as much aka they can't show you ads & make money.
It wants you to meet people, not meet a person you want to quit the app because of.
Get good engagement from a girl then move her to snapchat/texting.

Also optimizing the amount of time you use the app throughout the day boosts your score.
Instead of running out of swipes in one sitting, space it out to 3-4 times a day and the algo highers your score to keep you hooked.
This also goes into activity times affecting score.

The days of the week have different app usage obviously
Mon. & Tues. are usually shit.
Wed. & Thurs. - Girls active & looking for weekend plans
Fri. & Sat. - Girls looking for last second plans for partying/fun/hookups/etc
Sun. - Typically just ego validation days.

Location also obviously has a huge impact on all of this mentioned.
Small town? Don't even bother with the apps, you likely know everyone already.
Big city, can be super useful.

With Covid & lockdowns, idk how much of that has changed to strictly ego validation and entertainment so do what you will with that.
& Obviously none of this is set in stone as much is speculative.
But this is what I've found from my experiences.
