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...

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.

TikToker Reveals Why There Aren't More Male Kindergarten Teachers—And She's Got A Point

In recent discussions surrounding public education in the United States, there have been many "make it make sense," "the math ain't mathin'," and "thanks to the patriarchy" moments.

One such discussion, led by TikToker Caro Claire Burke, has gone viral on the platform for digging into why young boys are "falling behind" in their education, to the point that many are in favor of boys starting school a year later than girls, and why there aren't more male teachers in the classroom, acting as role models for these young boys.

Gay TikToker Tears Up After Receiving Heartfelt Message From Childhood Bully 20 Years Later

We all make mistakes, and for most of them, a genuine apology and attempt to do better will make up for them. But sometimes, we make mistakes that even an apology will not make up for.

Still, there are other things, like being bullied, where being apologized to would really help us heal. But for most of us, those well-earned apologies will never come.

Jim Acosta AI Interview Backlash

Former CNN White House correspondent and independent journalist Jim Acosta is under fire after posting a YouTube interview with an AI-generated avatar of Joaquin “Guac” Oliver, one of 17 people killed in the 2018 mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida.

The video, which Acosta promoted on social media as a “show you don’t want to miss,” was published on August 4, the day that would have been Oliver’s 25th birthday. It features a digitally resurrected version of the late teen, created with generative AI based on an old photograph. The avatar appears wearing a black beanie and jacket, its expression somber yet unnervingly lifelike.
