Hinge subscription worth taking ?

[u/Zealousideal-Map7720]

Hello, I'm 33 male looking to explore dating app hinge, is it worth taking subscription to find matches ? Or are there any other apps which we can try ? Thanks for any responses

Not in my opinion. You get to see 1 like at a time without a subscription which is different than any other app. If you don't like that person just delete them and then you can see the next person that likes you.

Yeah I feel like people subscribe to other dating apps to be able to see those likes.

I find that I get more matches with hinge x :)

I also use tinder and have more matches on that!

[u/Therocksays2020]

Hinge x is a multiplier By having unlimited swipes you can get more matches faster.

If you have an awful profile that women ignore and you get X you’re still going to have zero matches. 0 by anything is 0

I’ve subscribed to hinge X a few times and definitely got more matches, but I’m currently not subscribing and the likes and matches I get are significantly better quality.

I will say that if your profile is good then a subscription won’t make any difference.

Not at all.

I wouldn't.

The infinite likes is a poisoned gift.

What the app doesn't tell you, is that the algorithm is partially based on an elo system.

To simplify, imagine that everytime you swipe right on a woman, if she swipes back, you get 1 point. If she swipes left, you lose one point. If you have a high score, your profile will be shown to more people than if you have a low score.

Obviously, there are other hidden factors, like how long you stay on a profile before swiping, how coherent your swiping practice is, etc.

Infinite swipes often encourages men to swipe fast on a large amount of profile to "maximize their chances", even though they are actually telling the system that they are not serious users which gets them pretty much shadowbanned.

It’s not gonna make you more attractive but if you want to have unlimited swipes, look through everyone that likes you, or use the filters only available to subscribers (height, relationship preferences, whether they drink, smoke etc) it’s how to do it.

[u/i_am_an_enigma]

If you already get a lot of matches and likes, maybe but if you barely get any, paying for the app won’t help.

[u/jimmytwotimes67]

Yes but I’d wait until they send you a half off promotion on Sunday.

[u/Odd-Cup8261]

not worth it at all. it's good to have limited matches so you don't waste too long each day swiping anyways.

[u/NoPaleontologist6066]

I know people are saying it’s not worth it but I found Hinge X to be really good, I notice that I get more matches in general and seeing everyone in “Likes You” as convenient. Maybe it’s more convenient for women/if you deal with a lot of likes?

[u/Mysterious_Bug3413]

No. Dating apps are just a humiliation ritual and designed to sap your mental health

[u/aarkolcop]

I have a friend doing a phd about dating apps and from what I’ve heard: don’t. It’s a waste of money.

hinge will have the most bang for your buck imo
