It actually doesn't matter that much at all how you look or what your profile says. This is the logic of the market applied to dating. You are explicitly commodifying your romantic life when you use these apps, and scarce commodities are valued higher.
Swipe left on 90% of the people, use your best photos and only your best (use facetune if you have to, I haven't but a lot of ppl do), and keep a sparse, ambiguous profile where folks can project what they want onto you. That's how relationships work anyway.
Voila, now everytime you log in you will be flooded to an annoying degree. Look forward to a lot of noise to get to the signal. Bad sex, bad dates, and so on are the norm. You'll occassionally also have a good time and meet rad folks, which makes the other headaches worthwhile.
A lot of men think they can "game" tinder by just swiping right on everything. It's one of the most bird-brained solutions, because literally any competent app would design around this possibility, and it would seem they already did.
I have literally never heard of any woman who did the same, however every woman that has had the app for 2 minutes or more has a few saved pictures on her phone with the weirdest comments made by dudes on dating apps.
from what i've heard, swiping right too much bumps you down in the algorithm, makes you look desperate
This exactly.
