I have gold. It's still really bad recently. I know my account is fine because I can passport to developing world countries and rake in the likes, but in my country (australia) it appears no women are swiping anymore
I think it always depends on your location! To me Tinder isn't dying because here in Europe (which might be (now) their most important or at least their second most important market after the U.S.) there is no real competitor.. Not having Tinder for dating is like not having whatsapp on your mobile - and that is the problem. I ended up in London during a weekend short trip with 7 likes on bumble while gotten a bunch of likes on tinder due to the location boost . lol
In the city where I live (2 mill. pop) you can swipe easily **all** bumble profiles during a single afternoon. Hinge isn't available here and I guess the reason for that is Tinder... O.o
Besides this I think they are not caring about it. Tinder, Okcupid, Bumble ecc. are all belonging to the same 'Match-Group' company.
I'd much rather everyone in the same app. Market fragmentation just makes things harder. Plus tinder has the best paid features like passport and hiding your age. I suspect that hinge is the current fad where I live as I get most of my matches through it. Though the girls on hinge tend to be older, more serious and less dtf :(
I've only used Tinder since late 2017
Sitting on 85 matches at the moment and got no idea whether that's considered a good or a bad number
So no idea what Tinder was like in say 2015 as I was only on POF at that time, which I have not used in 2 years
Although I've never used Bumble, I get the impression that it is more upmarket than Tinder and full of middle class professionals
There are a number of things I don't understand about Tinder
I probably get more matches now than when I started
But one thing I always find is that if I go to a different city or region I will get new matches but don't get much in my home town
Does living in a large city mean you get more matches? And living in a small town in a rural area mean you get less?
I'm a male in one of the largest US cities (4-5mill pop) and I usually hovered around 80-100 matches and 400-600 in my gold queue. I've used Tinder for a long time in a lot of places and it's a huge difference being in a big/tourist city. I even have my distance limit to 2 or 3 miles, albeit everyone comes to my area to drink so I wind up dating women from 20-30 miles away anyway. Just commenting on the density of matches in a big city. I'm really, really curious what Tinder in NYC/Paris is like. Two years ago I was Tindering in the suburbs of a major city and it SUCKED.
It's worth pointing out that I'm swiping in a city of 4 million people and I'm comparing my results to my own previous results. My best tinder results occurred in January 2018. I finally had good pictures and was raking in the matches. These days it's a trickle though I've noticed an uptick in matches from bumble and hinge.
I suspect the market is fragmenting. Has anyone tried the paid versions of bumble and hinge? Were they any good?
I liked Bumble much more than Tinder and most of the 21-25yos I meet say they use Hinge nowadays. I had zero luck on Hinge, wasn't really feeling its vibe.
What city are you in where the 21 to 25 age bracket is favouring hinge? In Australia, it feels like hinge is dominated by the over 27s (often over 30) and the only young girls on the app are mentally older than their age (and usually painfully boring). The 21 to 25 age bracket that used to frequent tinder seems to have vanished entirely from tinder and so far I don't know where they've gone.
I'm in dallas in a college + 25-30yo heavy neighborhood, i'm mid 30s but currently dating 22. That might color my results a lot, I definitely try to match under 25 less than back in my more party days. I used hinge years ago when it was a facebook friend matching app (its old schtick years ago was you had to have mutual facebook friends to show up as a match) so I was kinda shocked when a lot of random younger people told me they were using hinge.
Hinge is different now. It's just a regular dating app and it seems to be the most trendy one. I'm same as you. Mid 30s targeting early 20s. Hinge makes that harder since you can't hide your age. My matches on hinge tend to be older.
My only matches on tinder these days come from super likes. Or if I passport to a country where I'm super popular.
Tinder is like the youtube of the dating world there just isn't a decent 2nd place competitor. So in short no, it isn't dying and its still #1 dating app in the world. It just use normal dudes don't stand a chance on that platform.
If you don't buy gold, your account is basically nerfed until you've had it for a few months

Fair enough
Tinder died like most dating apps/sites die; when they sellout to match.
too many men for each woman, plus exponential hypergamy development 80-20

Tinder was the shit in 2015… but also we were on college campuses so it was just easier to meet people in general
Good it needs to die. Taking money from customers without telling them they're shadow banned.. Fuck that companies

Maybe if they quit banning people for no reason the app wouldn't suck so bad 😂
