It was bound to happen but now it finally has – someone has started mapping their Tinder dating history into beautiful (or tragic) infographics.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The ever popular r\/DataIsBeautiful subreddit of course got involved. If you imagined that somewhere in this data-driven world there must be someone keeping tabs on the online dating habits and success rates of dating app users, then you were correct.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\"data<\/p>\n

Apparently it\u2019s possible for every Tinder user to put in a request to see the data surrounding their own personal dating history. The result however is not particularly clear to those unschooled and unfamiliar with data sets, as all you get is a zip folder full of numbers. Which of course is where the dedicated posters of r\/DataIsBeautiful come in and bring to life the numbers (and facts).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Whilst the graphing of the results into maps, infographics, and visual representations can often be quite beautiful, the grim reality of the numbers remains the same. And boy are things not looking good for men on <\/span><\/p>\n

Tinder.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Without even talking about meeting someone with whom to have a relationship with or even talking about a landing a date, just the meer chance of getting a match are really slim. One poster calculated that the odds of simply being matched were between 1 and 8 %. If a man swiped right, he had a 6% chance of being reciprocated.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Although Tinder hasn\u2019t released information around this, studies have been done that conclude that heterosexual men have about a 15% chance on average of being swiped right on! This is pretty bad odds when you consider that the same study showed that women had a 70% chance of matching with people they swiped right on!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

The data bros at r\/DataIsBeautiful could see how much users were swiping compared to how many matches swipers were getting (cringe!) and for many things were not looking good.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

In fact, the whole point of the exercise might at some point seem futile – we know on an instinctive level perhaps what our success rate and chances of getting matched are like on dating apps and we don\u2019t need a depressing infographic to confirm it for us sometimes. But on the upside the way some of the graphs work, you see how little it takes for the results to look up – sometimes just one yes!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
