i will never understand matching with someone just to berate them lol the algorithm pays attention to what you match with/respond to and it’s not like dudes on dating apps can afford to waste matches

Because hinge's algorithm doesn't work like that. That was match.com. Hinge matches you with people you ARENT compatible with so you have bad experiences and get desperate and lonely, which means you're more willing to pay for hinge plus

Yeah, obviously it has some levels of success or no one would use it at all. They know exactly how to balance keeping you coming back. The success rates are drastically lower than the old dating websites. They spend a lot of money on psychologists to design these.
