PSA: This is how OLD apps work and why they don’t work for most people

What this means is that a male model who looks like an Adonis and makes 7 figures a year will STILL SWIPE RIGHT ON 4s, 5s, 6s, 7s, 8s, 9s, and 10s.

I'm sure there are super attractive guys who swipe like this, but I don't think it's as common as you think.

I'm definitely no Adonis, but I only swiped right about 6-8% depending on the app, based on my data downloads. That gave me about 3-5 matches per day on Tinder and another -1-2 on Bumble. In a typical week, I had somewhere between 25-45 matches between the apps. Of the matches I messaged, I could convert probably 10% to dates (lower when I started, higher once I figured out messaging approaches that work well).

The thing is, I only had 1-2 nights available for a date most weeks. Maybe there was the rare week with 3 nights available. There was no point in swiping less selectively, because it would have just produced a bunch of matches I would never even message. I didn't even message the majority of my matches as it was, so why pile on a bunch of matches I didn't want?

And I'm above average, but not exceptionally attractive. If "Adonis" swiped just like me, he would probably have 2-3x more matches. He could literally get a top 5% women 365 nights a year, so why swipe right on 4s?
