Do guys swipe right on anyone?

Question

I had a dating app for about 3 days and I've gotten hundreds of likes. I don't want to sound vain. I know I look average at best so I know it's not because I'm that attractive. I was just wondering, do guys swipe right (meaning they like someone, want to text them) on any girl? No matter how they look?

I voted, but still, I think most men are more generous than most women. Dating apps tend to overwhelmingly be filled with guys, so getting matches is much more of a struggle for a man than a women. You read the odd article here or there of guys with crazy success who go as far as to consider Tinder too easy, but for the most part, I've found that men try to find reasons to swipe right and women find reasons not to. I've had women tell me that they match almost everyone they swipe right on. I'm no knockout, but I'm decently good looking, have an interesting bio and a variety of pictures, but getting matches can still be a struggle. A constant reality is that no matter how well I connect with a women, she can probably find a better man if she wants to. But in spite of all this, I do ultimately try to only swipe right on someone I can imagine developing something with.

Tinder is NOT a dating app, it's a casual sex-finder app, and, yes, guys swipe right on every picture that is at all attractive. As a guy looking for casual sex, the bigger the net you cast, the more likely you are to catch a fish.

But if you are looking for a relationship, Tinder is a complete waste of time. Dating apps in general are, but Tinder is ultra-shallow by design because it's really designed for hook ups.

I don't know, I've read that men swipe right on every women then filter. I've seen guy friends do it too.

That bothers me and makes me not even want to use because i know im almost too attractive to use the sight, and I've been told by messengers as well.

I'm not hot at all, and I get fucked a lot from Tinder.

coachTanthony · Answer

YES guys swipe right on everyone to see how many matches they can get. Then they will decide from those matches who they want to talk too.

On Tinder it's a numbers game unfortunately and that is why the app is pretty much broken!

robske · Answer

there is a truckload of guys that just swipe right to get a reaction, the shame is that someone who genuinly read your profile and found it to match with their own interests gets burried along with the litteral hundreds of other messages

Which is why i would never turn to a dating app again

Anonymous · Answer

Here's the difference, you women get tons of matches, we don't. When I first started using that app, I only did on people I was actually interested in, and, I actually read the profiles etc. But after some time, I was getting no matches at all, and, there was so many profiles coming up daily, that it became a very long process (with no results). So... it got to the point that I didn't care anymore, and, wanted to save time and get it done faster, so I just started swiping right on pretty much everyone (just based on looks alone). I also wanted to see if I'd get more matches. I didn't. Total waste of time for a lot of guys.

Some people did an experiment and created a photo-shopped girl that was half animal, hairy ears, obese and a nose similar to a snout. All was just about recognizable as human. The profile got hundreds of matches and messages asking to meet up. Men will swipe right on anything that resembles female.

hellionthesagereborn · Answer

The fact is guys are not as picky as women try to make them out to be. Ironically its women who are far far more picky about their partners then men are. We just want a girl who is cool, who is pretty (and again, that's not that high of a bar, be average or above, be healthy and that is about it.) and who we think will want us. Its not complicated.

Sevenpointfive · Answer

let me put it this way. my friend introduced me to tinder. so i pull up the first profile, and he's like yeah!, she's hot! and i'm in disbelief... i was looking at a tranny profile. and he was like yeah! she's hot!

so i scrolled down and it said that they were indeed a transgender. and we had a good laugh at how fucking gay he was.

DrTruth · Answer

Pretty much answered your own question. Average in attractiveness and getting hundreds of men wanting you. Now you get to pick and choose men that are above average. Thus, inflates your ego that I'm in high demand. Men that are average are now forced to swipe right on EVERYBODY for maybe 1 match. Now Tinder becomes a numbers game.

Anonymous · Answer

The best looking guys pick and choose but average guys have to swipe right on everyone. Their match rate is so low there’s really no point in them deciding on individual profiles as opposed to swiping right on hundreds, hoping for a few matches and then can decide if any of the matches are of interest.

Basically the “see if you both match” doesn’t work when their match rate is so low.

babylon_of_the_woods · Answer

I was on some apps, but the majority of people seem to be friendly if you don't want to date, you can just state that in your profile and you're good to go. I don't ever care about people's appearance - if you're a good person, you're a good person; and vice-versa. So I chose to swipe right on fifty people everyday without looking.

Yes, even those who are there for hookups only will chat for a few days (I get bored quickly but no one is affected, so yay).

bamesjond0069 · Answer

I hate the app because how you know whether to swipe right based on a pic? Its retarded. If im horny i swipe everything and feel disgusting after. If i swipe selectively i honestly swipe left 99% of the time because im looking for a girl w actual info in her bio that i like.

Boppy · Answer

I only swiped right on women I thought seemed attractive (especially with some good writing below).

Wound up being around 1/20 women or fewer. Didn't get any matches after a few months and left tinder.

Reaperbot666 · Answer

I try not to base a girl on just her looks. But also her personality. So I was was to used a dating app. I might more often hit like over dislike for just there looks alone. Until I get to know them mentally.

Anonymous · Answer

Guys basically look at the top 10% of women and message them. If they're ignored (rejected) which is almost sure to happen (even with the best looking guys). Then they move down a tier. If they don't give up they keep going down till they get a response.
So to answer your question. Yes generally guys will message most women.

yeeeeeeeet · Answer

No I dont spam swipe. I think Tinder had matching elo, so the more failed matches you have, the lower priority your account had. Also, I wouldn't want to bother being matched with girls I wouldn't date

Levin · Answer

1in20. And I'd filter out those I match with anyway. Can't be arsed with wasting my time with people I'm not interested in, or I'd never meet, irrespective of how attractive or 'nice' they are.

HabitBoyHB · Answer

I swipe right if eather their bio is good and they just have half decent photo/photos and i swipe right if they have great photos and a half decent bio

Anonymous · Answer

Some do, but the thing is there are more guys than girls on there so girls obviously get more likes, but I also heard somewhere that on a scale from 1 to 10 on average guys rate a girl as a 7, so swiping only on attractive girls may also include average ones.

Aethereal · Answer

I don't use Tinder. On the site I do use, I only like profiles of girls I'm attracted to. But yes, many guys swipe right on everyone.

wankiam · Answer

according to recent reseach men swipe right 80 percent more than women which suggests women are quite selective while men are hedging their bets

alfiegoodtimes · Answer

Statistically speaking. Dating sites almost require it. Your placement, even the type of women they are seeing is based on algorithm.

cavmanier · Answer

Yeah it's a place where 5/10 girls feel like they are 11/10 because guys want to sleep with them. The confidence boost feels nice though I bet.

Drumlin2001 · Answer

When i was on dating i started off looking at profiles and pics only swiping right in those i was interested in. After while and a few ghosting instances i just started swiping right to everyone.

blutwolfe · Answer

Ya I swiped right on literally everyone and I'd maybe get one match a week, dating apps are bogus lol. I've even had full blown attractive guys try it and maybe a match a day. We all agree it's bs

DDpsy · Answer

I don't do swiping apps but from what I have seen it is a matter of everything will go. Swiping right actually renders the systems more like normal dating for men. Everything is a possibility then you decide after some interaction.

NYCstreetPhotog · Answer

I'm assuming you're talking about Tinder, and I don't use that, so... But, when I do use dating apps I'm very picky about women I like/contact.

R4vedave · Answer

When I used tinder I swiped right in literally everyone to see who swiped on me

Arslanrex · Answer

Swipe right on everyone, simply because I don't think I'm that good looking myself. Plus I think everyone is beautiful in their own way. So if some thinks I'm attractive then we can talk. 😁

MrHopper · Answer

Its the flaw of the system, men just say yes and women decide... so pretty much like real life

I don't use dating apps and don't need it in this moment of my life... But I think I wouldn't swipe right only if I find someone really really unattractive...

Avicenna · Answer

Some do. I only did after reading her profile and seeing if she seemed interesting.

BrotherFrost · Answer

I don't do dating sites. But they are obviously a "got c'ha bitch" thing. You "like" everyone without even looking too much and see how many fishes you can catch. Then you pick the ones you find acceptable and go from there.

genericname85 · Answer

i did that for a few days just for shits and giggles but i usually dont. and the time i did showed me that it's not a good thing to do xD

Jackieboi · Answer

I think most just use up their swipes if its limited in a min or two swiping everything right and then going over the matches later.

JSmuve · Answer

I know a guy who literally swiped right on everyone. I typically swipe left on everyone (maybe 90-95%). But I'm probably the minority.

loveslongnails · Answer

I dont use Tinder, but I would NEVER swipe right on a call I didn't find attractive... if I did use Tinder.

I always swipe right, see my few matches, and then filter out the fatties or baggage. Still no luck.

It's because there are far more men on dating apps then women. I don't use dating apps nor would I so I don't know.
