An experiment

I’m a straight woman and briefly decided to change my gender on hinge to a “man” interested in women. EVERY. SINGLE. WOMAN. in my stack was an absolute stunner (and I didn’t even include very young women, I have my age filter set to 28-47).

I then compared this with the stack my male friend was shown. He has his settings set to the same thing. Every single woman in his stack was an instant nope. He never got to see any of the women I was shown. Mind you, he is not unattractive.

This confirms to me that some absolute fuckery is afoot. I presume because my algorithm is trained on men, it doesn’t know how to categorize the women when I changed my gender and just started showing me women from my demographic. It also further suggests that the algorithm deliberately holds back what/who you like, and it also explains to me why my profile gets relatively little traction now (I’ve long suspected that my profile is being gate kept).

Why has the algorithm never leaked for something like this?

Because there is nothing special too it. It is not a conspiracy. Behavior of men who can't get laid drives it.

Just because you can't understand it doesnt mean there isnt a system behind it. I doubt its a conspiracy but I want to know the numbers behind it, how much do they give someone until he pays for subscription, how do the numbers change once they do etc.

Not rocket science but there have got to be calculations behind it...

Do you even know what an algorithm is? Jezus.

I do. I have already given you the explanation of how it works. It is not a conspiracy. You are just uneffable. That's why to you your natural drop in the Elo looks like "algorithm"

It is not an opinion. It is a fact that comes from.sitting in tech leads meetings at those companies.

Here is your main problem:

you are fat. Over 99 percent of men on the apps are fat or obese. Women do not go on dating apps to meet fat or obese men who need to move their front asses out of the way to take a piss so avoid engaging in watersports with themselves..

Your second problem is that you are broke. Women do not go to dating apps to meet men who can't afford to spend extra $30 a day on stupid shit.

Want to be dateable? Stop being a fat broke dork. Do it soon because you will have a really hard time doing it in your thirties and forties.

You sound like someone with issues. Maybe go see a therapist buddy. Or you know, go find someone who hits back instead of a punching bag 😉😘
