The results of testing a fake hot guy Tinder profile!

We all want to know don’t we, as men, if our sexual experiences stack up with others.

A platform like Tinder let’s our minded wander. “If only my nose were a little smaller... I’d get more matches.” Or whatever it is.

The proverbial, ‘what if’ scenario.

I have been dying to test Tinder with photos of very attractive men. And I haven’t because I’d need to delete my personal account to do that and I’m just not willing because I can get matches on the app.

But somebody on Reddit with nothing to lose did try this. Here are his results:

Here’s his fake profile.
Here’s his fake profile.

Funny enough, a guy can’t help but apply that what if reasoning here to the data. “But what if he was super built like a body builder and posted a shirtless photo! Surely then he could get as many matches as the girls do!...” who knows.

The results of testing a fake hot guy Tinder profile!

The fact is, having boobs is the strongest predictor of high amounts of matches on Tinder. And while a ‘hot guy’ gets 15x as many matches as an average guy, the hot guy still gets 11x less matches than a girl.

Let that sink in. Ladies reading, see the plight of male dating. (It’s why we come on here and groan and whatnot).

Ironically, the hotter guy got less message responses from more matches than the average guy from the few girls that did match him. This in theory reveals a little bit on how women choose partners from abundance of options.

Perhaps perceiving one guy as having too much female competition? (Who knows). But there’s something in that, for sure.

What’s cool about this is that it shows that even hot guys struggle on Tinder. Which may or may not blow some minds, make and female included.

Here’s the take away. If you’re a girl and want casual sex, Tinder is so effective for you that you could literally have as many options as you could ever want. If you’re a guy, even if you are hot, it’s not a reliable source if sex to meet your needs, unfortunately it’s only reliably good for one gender.

Will keep readers posted when I figure out a reliable way for single men to get their sexual needs met on a regular basis. I just found this enlightening.

  • You realize this research is flawed right? Doing an experiment with only 3 profiles is not sufficient, valid or trustworthy. You need a way bigger pool of profiles and a proper definition of 'hot, average, ugly'. Without a definition of 'hot', 'ugly', 'average' we get nowhere either. The vet profile looks like a gay man to me and faintly sketchy, so I wouldn't approach him on dating level. Let alone go over to his house or have him come over to mine. Big no no. A shirtless body builder does not equal 'hot' to me. Just average and actually screams: gtfo he is a creepy dude with a shirtless pic on his profile don't even let him into my house cause he might kill me.

    And simply because every woman and man on this earth have different preference in their partners and what they consider 'hot', 'ugly','average' it's impossible to test this.

    Add to that that the 'hot' people are only likely to get sex. And chances are, they have it with people who are crazy, stalker material. Now would you prefer that? Being hot, having slept with a hot girl, only to turn around in your bed and have a knife in your back? I wouldn't.

    • Shirtless mascular man is hot for most women though. Maybe you don't but most women would choose mascular, masculine man over nice, caring guy even they have same height. Women want A Man and muscle is the only thing you can show on picture about that.

  • The plight of male dating? Try to plight of using Tinder to date period. You have to keep in mind, as well, that just "having tits" on Tinder doesn't secure you more dates, per se. In my experience, it more so increases the likelihood of someone trying to pretty much just pump and dump you.

    Also, it can be a reliable source for males too. Good male friends of mine hooked up regularly on Tinder, you just have to have some basic concept of charm and be relatively attractive.

    Not say women don't get more matches, they certainly do. Just pointing out it isn't all sunshine and rainbows.

    • Hmm. Well, pumping and dumping is kinda the point of a hookup app, isn’t it? That’s what Tinder was created for. Therefore having boobs really helps for that. Clearly.

    • Well, I mean, a friends with benefits would be way better than a one time thing. But it’s not created for commitment.

    • Some people TRY to use it for genuine dating purposes and even to find friendships - not ideal, but not everyone wants to simply fuck.

  • One time years ago when I signed on to OkCupid I used a temporary photo of a white male model that would be considered attractive. I used that photo for (1) just to have something there until I took a good one of myself, and (2) also to see what would happen. Just like I thought my profile skyrocketed in views from females and I even had some Favorite me, before someone obviously alerted the admins that it was fake and they took the photo down. Once I put up photos of my true black self, my views dropped through the floor.

    • It's probably cuz you lied to them not cuz you are black man If you ask me black men more than just fine in the dating realm It's Asian men especially indian men that face the true problem

    • @Damiankane I'm sure the lying didn't help, but with online dating you will still get overlooked for being black. And this is because the majority of women on dating sites are wealthy or priveleged and do only want white men.

    • Hey black men are up there with white men It's the poor Asian and Indian men that truly suffer

  • Most of the time what i have realized hot girls use dating apps to draw followers to their social media or boost their ego. Yes there are girls look for sex but most of the time girls want validation and ego boost in these places.

    • Also you have put the wrong image for experiment you should have put more mascular, masculine faced man. Women want that kind of men and this image looks like some caring, nice guy which is not attractive for women even they tell they are attractive.

    • Actually he’s sexy the picture guy. Dreamy type

    • Biggest thing I’m realizing on this site is that women have vastly different ideas on who is hot and who isn’t. That supports the idea that no one guy is getting all the Tinder matches.

  • I don't get the point of this.
    We all date/hook up with people we find attractive. That's just human nature.

    Attractiveness is a matter of opinion. Lots of girls on here are saying he's not hot.
    I think he's hot.
    What's attractive to one person isn't to another.

    I've never been on a dating app, I have no idea how they work. Tinder especially has always sounded kind of sleezy.

    If Jessica Alba was on there, she'd get a lot of interest. It's the same thing.
    I'm not seeing the problem with that.

    • Well, it is sleazy. Number one. However, it’s also effective if you are a girl. So, if you ever get an urge just make a Tinder and you can literally have your pick come over in the snap of a finger. You don’t have to be hot for that to happen. Fact is because men like nearly all the women on the app, you don’t have to swipe very long to find a willing guy you like. That’s probably why not many guys get matches, and much less get actual meetups. But in all honesty, if you ever find yourself wanting sex you can use Tinder to get it exactly on the spot. Just letting you know since you say you have never used it. Doesn’t help the guys any, except for getting another girl on the app. But it’s true if you want it.

    • I agree, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I know what I like, and it does not have to be the prettiest girl that I find sexy, it doesn't have to be the biggest boobs (not attractive to me). It might be a lot of different things, the eyes, smile, personality, whatever.

  • All it proves is that girls actually have standards while guys will like anything as long as it has a pair of boobs. Do you think it's any easier for girls just because they get matches? No. They also have to go through all those matches and try their best to weed out all the shitty people who only swiped right because tits. So for girls, it's also back to square one. Getting lots of matches =/= a guaranteed, successful relationship. Quantity =/= quality.

    • Tinder is a freaking hookup app. Omg. Lol.

    • I tried applying standards to girls and I couldn't find a single girl who met them. The bar is so low I feel like an idiot if I lowered it any more. Hearing the standards girls hold guys to is hilarious in comparison

    • I guess it just depends where you live then, because where I'm from, it's both a place where people find hookups but also a place where they find relationships. I just ended a 3 year relationship with someone I met from tinder.

  • I'm dumb, so humor me. Why in blazing comets do people go on Tinder? Is it the Craig's List alternate that attracts people or the expectation of getting fucked?

    • Yes. Both.

  • Being a girl isn't what makes sex so easy. Trying to date guys is what makes it easy. I know hot gay girls who have trouble finding someone, but average gay dudes who are swimming in options.

    Maybe it's not about boobs. Maybe guys are just easy/girls are just difficult!

    • Totally agree. Gay men have as many options as straight men. Absolutely no argument here.

    • And yet you women claim to want sex as much as men... hmm. 🤔

    • Gay men have a lot of options actually. I think you read me wrong. I personally had trouble motivating boyfriends to keep up with my libido, but I agree women on average have a slightly lower sex drive. Only slightly. But because of that slight difference, they have the power to be picky and get away with it.

  • Well the fact that he put "not looking for anything serious" means no girls are going to swipe right on him. Like girls tend to look for a relationship rather than casual sex so if that was on a hot girls bio, guys would be all over it. But girls don't want casual sex (as much as guys do) and are instantly going to swipe left. Plus that so looks like a fake account, and that guy makes me feel uneasy. Like his eyes looking into my soul like that, no thanks. 🤗

    • Many of the girls from my generation and a little younger seem to want hook ups way more than an actual relationship.

    • Yeah but also if you think about the fact that 62 percent of tinder accounts are male and only 38 percent are female, of course females are going to get more right swipes that males. Just due to the amount of male accounts over female accounts.

    • I don't know, I've never been on that and don't have a smart phone either.

  • Yes women seek out casual sex much less than men do. It's not necessarily tied to how hot the guy is. Some people are into hook ups, some aren't. And obviously men are much more into it than women. Didn't need a graph for that. You call this 'the plight of male dating' but also say tinder is not for dating, only for hook ups. So which is it?
    And what do you want women to do now? Have sex with more guys, average guys included? Cause at the same time guys also complain about women who do exacty that. By the was there is a was to get casual sex for men. It's called prostitution. I don't know why not more guys doing that. Cause I can't tell you how many times I've heard all women are esentially prostitutes cause they all just want money for sex. So why not go to an actuall prostitute? I'd do it if I was a guy and into causal sex.

    • Would you really go to a prostitute? Lol. Serious? Guys complain about that because they want it without paying or jumping through hoops. I honestly think guys produce semen at such a rate that it simply must be emptied out. That’s the source of male sex drive. It’s simply unlimited because sperm production is unlimited. And therefore everyday we can’t help but be like squirrels for boobs. Anytime there’s an attractive girl we snap our heads. just can’t help it, cause, you know, we got new sperm that day. Guys only complain about women being slutty if and only if they are not being included on the list of men she sleeps with. It’s the aspect of ‘well shit she’s doing every other guy except for me, I must suck’ that men latch onto if and when they spit shame. Has nothing to do with actual female promiscuity. The only thing I can think of to actually complain about would be the type of men she sleeps with. If she does the type of men I don’t like, for instance maybe I could see that as a reason to not like them. I do think men judge girls more on the types of guys they sleep wit rather than how many. If she has sex with guy like him then he probably wouldn’t complain. But if she did a guy that he knows and hates — that’s a problem. Usually.

  • y'all lazy scumbuckets and yer gat danged Internets dating. Look, I used this https:// to find a woman before it was reasonable; I tried to message a friend that moved away and some girl in a town over had a similar name and... personality? My dude was a skater into RATM and we were in 3rd or 4th grade-- point was I ended up taking that girl out to the actual release of Office Space and tried desperately to affect human contact like any hot blooded teenage boy. Thank you, Internet.

    But she is not The Way, my child. You must obtain your desires in the (ง ͠° ͟ل͜ ͡°) งReal World (ง ͠° ͟ل͜ ͡°) ง

    You see, in this (ง ͠° ͟ل͜ ͡°) งReal World (ง ͠° ͟ل͜ ͡°) ง your confident average man, with a plan can find a date quite easily. He simply must be willing to keep heart and keep trying. If your stride remains unbroken and you're open to finding a loving woman or man in the world, they'll find you and look you square in the eyes. They'll probably adjust themselves in a way that's not discomforting but provocative. And sometimes you make a catch by letting it go without a second thought. In fact, that's The Way; dating without dating, flirting without flirting.

    Deleting dating profiles within a couple weeks of making them is just a symptom of my hypersexuality. What I really want is to observe all the "available" females in a region. Honestly, I would prefer to recognize them in the (ง ͠° ͟ل͜ ͡°) งReal World (ง ͠° ͟ل͜ ͡°) ง but also know nothing else about them except that they are single. Ultimately, that would be the best thing for the future. The worst is when you sense a connection that has to die in the crib; much easier to walk away from flirting that's really just surface level. I'd prefer a pleasantly obvious marker of bachelor/ette status versus the current system.

  • "having boobs is the strongest predictor of high amounts of matches on Tinder" So what about an average-looking girl?

    • That’s absolutely the right question. I need to find someone who tests this situation next. If I can’t find one I may just do it myself and test it out.

    • Average looking girls get fucked the most and get the most men

    • average girls should still get tons of matches.. I wouldn't be surprised if its easily more than the hot guy

  • Yea, I never once thought this. What is the purpose or worrying about what others do? Everyone knows that the "pretty people" of the world have it easier, esp the women. It is what it is. I am not one of those so why worry about it?

    • Facts. Why worry so much about dating? When we prioritise our dating life above all else, and think of nothing but "what if I was a 10? what if I was wealthy?" then we would drag ourselves further down the rabbit hole. At that point, nobody would be willing to save us. I heard a good tip from someone: focus on yourself, and put yourself first always. How can you put your 100% in a relationship if you can't look after yourself 100%? For example, I am quite dark for my race. I would LOVE to be lighter; other girls wouldn't bully me if that was the case. But it humbled me. I'm more empathetic. Less judgmental. I have things that pretty people will never have; mutual respect, kindness towards everyone no matter how different they are, and humility. Sorry for rambling. tldr; yes, I agree. Nothing is more important than our own mental and physical health, which should always come before our dating life.

  • I suggest to meet and chat up with females in real life. Don't waste too much time making "experiment" with fake profile.

    • Lame. Most women aren't approachable IRL. Tinder and dating apps are way better because you know for a fact that the women on there are open to dates. In real life, you have no clue if the girl you think is attractive: *has a boyfriend/husband *is a lesbian *is asexual *not interested in dating at the moment With a dating app, you can just type out a message like "Hi my name is (insert name)", copy, paste and send message to like 100 women and you'll get responses that way. Why approach IRL when not only most women aren't approachable, but you can get better results for a fraction of the effort?

    • @DWD94 online dating are for those who can't make meaningful connection with people they come in contact with in daily life. But hey if works for you then good for you!

    • I can make meaningful connections just fine thank you very much. But why bother approaching IRL when I can get way better results for a fraction of the effort? And like I said before, its not something most women will understand because most women are not really approachable IRL. Dating apps are a god-send.
