    One in a thousand to even get a chance to talk to someone, what an encouraging system

        Yeah, not to defend the apps or anything but filtering out the people who put in no effort and approve 96%+ makes sense.

          I get were you're coming from, but on the other hand most women put no effort to their profiles whatsoever. In my experience with Tinder 90-95% of profiles don't even have a bio, so how am I supposed to filter people based on some pictures and three tagged hobbies (which are usually bland like movies, travel, nights out)?

            This is one of the reasons I don't use apps. I'd just have to not match with any of those 90-95%, at which point you're basically not using it at all.

            That's cool you can go ahead and swipe them left then. Also:

            Getting really close to understand why these apps are shit.

        I think tinder uses Glicko-2 based on swipes to create an attractiveness ranking.
