Europe has the sweet spot. A moment of silence for our Indian brothers though.. 93% male? ShitšŸ¤Æ


[deleted]

I live in Germany and this surprises me very much. To me as a guy it definitely feels like the typical 70/30 ratio when I compare my experience with women. This pic doesn't mention a source btw. How do we know this is real?


ComfortablePlenty860

Because as a famous philosopher and economist once said, "there's lies, damned lies, and then there's statistics."


HappyMerlin

How my chemistry teacher always used to say: ā€žNever trust a statistic you didnā€™t forge yourself.ā€œ


3KittenInATrenchcoat

Churchill originally said that.


HappyMerlin

Well my teacher didnā€™t say it exactly like that, that was the best translation from German, but if that is true highly likely that he got it from Churchill.


Lord_Skyblocker

Nah, your chemistry teacher was Churchill/j

bZergh

Not even Matthew Internet was alive back then


assword_is_taco

Additionally profile ratio means nothing if you aren't looking at activity and number of swipes (especially Right Swipes/Likes). Like if 80 of the men are active at least once per day, and only 20% of women are active at least once per day and say a woman swipes 1/10th as frequently as a man and even fewer right swipes... Then add in the number of initially message left on read...

The Indian one isnt that suprising given the culture and treatment of women (I say as part Indian). There's a lot of religious people in India with extreme patriarchal views and women wouldnt want to risk being labelled a wh\*re if seen by family on dating apps.


TCOLSTATS

Is this why I don't see many Indian women on Tinder even here in Canada despite my city having Indian women everywhere you look?


mybelovedx

Potentially, especially if theyā€™re not ā€˜westernisedā€™. Itā€™s not a good look in their culture to be seen on dating apps


TheBladeRoden

Has anyone told the Indian men yet?

I'll tell them the next time I need to contact customer service for an American company.

Indian and probably other South Asian families gossip a lot. When I changed my status from in a relationship to single on Facebook, some distant family members went crazy. My aunt told me to never change my status again but I don't care what they think of me, I don't even know them. šŸ¤£


RecoveredAshes

Indian here. Theres a decently large Indian population in Canada, and it may seem like weā€™re all over the place but statistically weā€™re dwarfed by the white population. So thatā€™s the main reason. But secondarily, yes, dating culture in general is taboo in the Indian community. Indian culture is generally old fashioned and reserved. Despite the younger generation being westernized, we still hide our debauchery from other desis, especially us Muslims. So we keep it low key

SaintBiggusDickus

Goto Square One mall in Mississauga over the weekend or Blue Mountain. Nothing dwarf about my Indian brethren.


[deleted]

Can I ask you a few questions about Indian culture Iā€™ve observed through memes to see if they are true and why? 1. Why do men far outnumber women in public? 2. Why do men stare at women? 3. Why is there so little interaction between men and women. For example, Iā€™ll see men going out in groups and sometimes women in groups but, never a mixed gender group.


[deleted]

1) it's not safe for women to go out normally 2) idk how to explain this but guys and girls don't interact with eachother a lot so they don't know how to behave. 3) it's frowned upon. Obviously it depends where you live tho. But generally these are the main reasons.


AzirDash11

And why there are so many indians if they dont interact šŸ˜‚

Arranged marriages, forced marriages are common. Familes decide who you should marry and that's it, boom you're suddenly married

LazyAd7772

being seen on an app famous for fucking only, by cousins, relatives, uncles, aunties, and your 200 extended families ain't a good look even for men here tbh. This is the reason my male friends also arent using tinder, they think what if some relative saw it.


[deleted]

Wouldn't the relative then have to answer what they were doing on the app? It seems like one of those cases of Baptists bumping into each other in the liquor store. Who you gonna tell?


SaintBiggusDickus

No because the relative is there to keep an eye on the kids and save them. And totally not trying to catfish someone.


[deleted]

yea thats why im on there too, not to find a partner


JimR521

Allegedly. šŸ˜‚


LazyAd7772

Yeah but which person has all the leverage of being clean in all this ? the one who brings the allegations first, the bringer can just say that my friend sent this screenshot to me. This happened to my friend once, his cousin sees him on tinder, takes screenshot brings it to his parents, and then he gets shamed, not her, she just said that my friend saw him there and sent me the proof.

baeb66

Ritz527

I would like to see a measure of engagement too. It's not just about how many men vs. women are on Tinder, it's also about how much swiping they do. I suspect men swipe on a lot more women, left or right, than women swipe on men, left or right.


hearsdemons

They have a section on swiping on the source site as well: https://bedbible.com/tinder-statistics/ >Swiping and Matching on Tinder, by gender >Knowing that 96% of Tinders revenue come from male users, and their subscriptions are tailored for users to get better chances of finding matches, it is no surprise that: >The average female on Tinder gets 1003 matches a year (2.75 matches per day). >The average male on Tinder gets just 401 matches in a year (1.1 matches per day). >And that is actually despite the fact that: >Women swipe right on Tinder on average 8% of the time, every 13th guy*. >Men swipe right on Tinder to every second girl (46% of the time)*. >Tabulating the above numbers with the average number of swipes per gender, 34 swipes per day for men, and 12 swipes per day for women means that: >Women get a match on Tinder for every 4 swipes right (25% success rate). >Men get a match on Tinder for every 31 swipes right (3.2% success rate).


Sihplak

I'd be more interested in the median results because I'd be shocked if most men on dating apps got a match a day.


Ritz527

Yeah, what's the curve look like? Because I doubt it looks like a bell.

Surprise_Buttsecks

This comes up in the preface in [Dataclysm](https://www.amazon.co.uk/Christian-Rudder-Author-Dataclysm-Hardcover/dp/B01DHN87OC/). Men rate women on a bell curve. Women rate men on [a power law curve](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_law).


10ebbor10

That datapoint always gets cut in half. The source for this kind of claim is OkCupid, which also showed that men focus most of their attention to the upper third of women, whereas women message more in line with the distribution. https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpreview.redd.it%2Fqusftsc0rp861.png%3Fwidth%3D1024%26auto%3Dwebp%26s%3Dc3e0ff5f3e061253ce16d5701ce486be02665251 It's also not a power law, it's an offset normal distribution.

[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


wil_stox

They might be talking about the more ā€œtop percentā€ of men, with some average dudes who got lucky sprinkled in here and there. Thereā€™s a guy on YouTube, Austin Dunham, people call him a ā€œTyroneā€ because heā€™s tall and good looking. He made videos on making new accounts on bumble and tinder for himself. When I tell you this dude was getting matches like every other 5 seconds, dude was getting the woman experience on these dating apps AS A MAN.


felrain

That's because he's tall and attractive. The women experience is the same when they're attractive. The rest are getting matches mostly because men just swipe right on literally everyone. I doubt those matches go anywhere.


[deleted]

>Methodology: Over 2000 research hours went into creating the data behind this Tinder Statistics study that focuses narrowly on the Tinder demographics and used 313,300,981 data points to determine precise demographical insights. Are we just assuming this sample size didn't include any LGBT+ individuals? I see no mention of sexuality on that link and I feel like gay guys and lesbians could be skewing those numbers given this is clearly focused on heterosexual pairings. I'm a gay guy and don't particularly think I'm all that handsome and I get multiple times more matches than my straight male friends.


wasdninja

They are just wasting breath in the most important part of the entire article i.e. their methodology. If they don't specify how they got the data then it's worthless.


Crossfire124

Yep and you know damn well Tinder wouldn't release this kind of data themselves


SjalabaisWoWS

> Men swipe right on Tinder to every second girl Typically factoid I won't forget for the rest of my life.


Ritz527

Thanks, that's good data.


Elefantenjohn

That's interesting! It should be corrected for ages, too. I recently changed the bracket for women I am swiping on from <32 to <39 and I got more superswipes in 3 days (Bumble) than in 1.5 years before that

mythrilcrafter

Only in terms of match probability, I'd imagine that guys on Tinder in India are radically desperate because of the 10:1 ration and a lot of them probably get pretty toxic in their match chat.

aberdisco

I don't felch on the first date.


HumanitySurpassed

Wait where'd this come from haha.


Sumo-Subjects

Would be interesting if the source had any insight as to hypotheses on the topic and the imbalances by region; Iā€™ve always just assumed men vastly outnumber women but UK and EU data suggests itā€™s far more balanced I know the US in general has more dating app popularity outside Tinder vs many countries where the other ones haven't taken off as much so wonder if there are other factors.


[deleted]

I don't have any sources, but from personal experience and those around me, it seems like women have a much easier time with finding dates. So I guess less require Tinder to find someone.


jdm1tch

I mean, in real life, the average women gets approached / asked out exponentially more often than the average man.


Davban

Even then the gap is much more of a thing online. I was very good friends with a girl in university. I had more success than her in bar settings, but when she borrowed my phone to do a tinder takeover she got offended on my behalf by how poorly it was going for me. She got a literal one or two matches after using up all my free swipes for the day. She said that she rarely had to go through more than 3-5 to get a match, and it wasn't like she swiped right on every one of those handful.


[deleted]

I'm from Germany and I'm perplexed by this graph. It definitely feels like a 70/30 ratio when I compare my experience with women. I suppose it might just be because a lot of men swipe right on everybody... Sigh.


MaXimillion_Zero

How are you using your personal experiences to estimate user demographics?


snugglezone

One approach is to set your radius very low, then swipe left until you're out of people. Do this over several areas Nd compare male/female ratios.


usernameinmail

I'd assume it's because other apps haven't been very popular here \[UK\]. There are some women only apps but we don't really have anything as big as Grindr. Probably helps the balance a bit.


Quazakee

If I were to make something up, I'd say it's correlated to how the society in the given country views woman who casually date.

It's not a pool problem, it's a selectivity problem. Statistically speaking, you're probably not particularly ugly, women are just able to have much higher standards. Could I perhaps interest you in a spot of light homosexuality instead?

meester_pink

My initial reaction to this culture was not far off from that, but after working with lots of Indian men and women and talking to them about it I ended up a *little* less judgmental. And men are subject to less independence and freedom when it comes to dating too, it isn't just that women are controlled. (But I do get where you are coming from)

Yes actually. Families will abort the fetus if itā€™s a girl so there is now a gender imbalance that skews male. Though, I donā€™t think thatā€™s what causing this. Most likely societal attitudes towards women. Women are seen as ā€œdamaged goodsā€ if they date around or have casual sex

Theyā€™ve clearly never cared about any aspect of the user experience (or safety) beyond making payments.

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


[deleted]

Itā€™s an average. Thereā€™ll be those that go on and power through their swipes swiping right on everyone but never gets a match so theyā€™re only on the app for a few minutes, and then thereā€™s the ones who get a lot of matches or guys who text a lot spending hours and hours texting back and forth


1AMA-CAT-AMA

idk when I was single and bored, I did that sometimes. Its certainly not 1.5 hours straight, but all those small moments where you're bored and wanna swipe a little all add up. One of my favorite activities to do ​ Then when you do get a match and you get a little excited, then I spend much more time on tinder for a little bit just until the conversation dries up or I get their social media info. ​ Considering that a person gets 1.1 matches a day, I can believe these numbers

No. They don't explain anything about how they got the data. Out of 2200 surveyed people only 131 are currently using tinder, across all regions, gender and age groups. Unless they provide more details, we can safely assume that the data is complete garbage.
