30% of adults admitted they use dating apps to find love, according to Bustle. And with so many users, people are often curious as to how Hinge actually determines what profiles to show as you swipe. After all, it can be frustrating to spend time creating your account only to find that the accounts you’re shown don’t seem to be aligned with what you’re looking for. If you’ve had this experience, you aren’t alone.
TikTok has tons of Hinge algorithm videos, with influencers and dating experts posting tips for how to understand the algorithm. A spokesperson for Hinge explained to Bustle that the idea is to “spark deeper conversations between users that, ultimately, lead to great dates.”
Logan Ury, Hinge’s director of relationship science, gave insight behind the algorithm (via Vice). “We use this Nobel prize-winning algorithm called the Gale-Shapley algorithm [a formula created by economists Lloyd Shapley and Alvin Roth that finds optimal matches between people “trading” in commodities]. It’s not just based on who you are likely to like, it’s also based on who is likely to like you back,” Ury said. “It’s all about pairing people who are likely to mutually like one another. Over time, we see who do you like, who do you send comments to, who are you having conversations with.”
The people you’re engaging with is how Hinge decides who your “most compatible” are. Here are some tips to help you get the best matches.
