A Man Just Charted His Experience on Tinder in One Interesting & Depressing Graph

A Man Just Charted His Experience on Tinder in One Interesting & Depressing Graph

Here's a hot take: online dating is hard. The popular dating app Tinder is a perfect example: few of the people you swipe right on become matches, few of your matches turn into quality conversations, few of the conversations turn into dates, and very few of the dates turn into relationships. While most people accept this as common knowledge, one man took things a step further. Reddit user keongmanja created a Tinder profile and kept notes on his interactions for 28 days. After compiling the data, he turned it into an interesting chart and posted online.


The results were fascinating...

Reddit

It's easy to see how tricky the Tinder scene can be.

Of the 53 matches keongmanja made in his 28 days, only 4 led to actual dates. The strangest disappointments were the 12 who ghosted him even after matching (ghosting is when a person disappears or doesn't respond with no explanation as to why). 10 seemed to have non-personal concerns over meeting (i.e. location issues or being too scared), but, surprisingly, the greatest barrier to actual dates, according to this graph at least, seems to be finding a time to make it happen. 19 out of 53 matches ended up falling through because they "didn't know when they would be free."

That leaves 9 healthy prospects!

Of the 9 matches who attempted to set up a date, 2 cancelled, and 3 stood keongmanja up. Those last 4 ended up meeting him for real dates, which, all things considered, is a pretty good number for a month. If only it hadn't taken so much work to get there!

Keongmanja also posted some background info on his data:

-My area is a Metropolitan city (UPG) in Indonesia where Tinder is not really popular at all.

-The first 30 match happened in 3 days.

-I'm a straight male at mid 20 with postgraduate degree.

-The caned first message isn't tailored at all (ball rolled opening) since 80% of woman's profile don't put any description on their online profile.

-After 3-4 message, I immediately asked for WhatsApp number to filter out the one who had interest level below 5.

-Ghosted means that at one point my conversational partner simply stopped responding without any indication or explanation.

Although 4 dates out of 53 matches may seem discouraging, some Tinder users still gave us hope!

By all indications, it could have been much worse...

So, if you're having a hard time on Tinder lately, don't let it get you down! It's tricky for everyone, but if you keep at it there might just be a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

MAGA Fan Has Unhinged Meltdown After Starbucks Barista Doesn't Call Out 'Charlie Kirk' With Her Order

For anyone who isn't familiar with Starbucks ordering protocol, the cashier will ask for a name to put on the cup.

When the order is done, the barista will call out the name on the cup to let the customer know their order is ready. However, if there aren't many people in the store, it's not uncommon for a person to just have their drink handed to them or brought to their table if they're seated.

Melania Trump Dragged After Sharing Bizarre AI 'Teleportation' Video

First Lady Melania Trump was mocked after she retweeted a bizarre AI-generated video that shows her teleporting into a building with the caption "Into The Future."

The video was first shared by the X account @MelaniaMeme. In it, the digital Mrs. Trump appears to teleport into a high-rise—likely Trump Tower—with a glittering cityscape in the background. She steps forward, looks directly into the camera, glances down, then back up again, without uttering a word.

Bad Bunny Hilariously Trolls Fox News Over Their Super Bowl Outrage In 'SNL' Season Opener

Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny took aim at Fox News and the conservative outrage over his upcoming Super Bowl halftime show during the season 51 premiere of Saturday Night Live over the weekend, joking that all of his critics have "four months to learn" Spanish if they're that bothered about him singing in his native tongue during football's biggest night.

Bad Bunny will be the first Latin male artist to headline the halftime show, but many of President Donald Trump's supporters have vowed to boycott the event. At least one far-right figure said Bad Bunny "will just further divide the American people" and suggested that either the right-wing performers Kid Rock or Jason Aldean should headline the show instead.
