I haven't had sex in 10+ years, and I haven't been on a date in around 5 years. in the course of about 2 days I have swiped right as much as possible before needing to refresh (takes 12 hours before they give you back more swipes)... basically with any person that I could conceivably see myself having physical contact with under any circumstances. I gave every single person the benefit of the doubt and assumed the best possible things about them based on their profile. here are my findings: I got 6 mutual matches in this time period, out of probably 200-300 right swipes. that means I'm getting 2-3% of people who actually match me back. for reference, my reply rate on OK Cupid was around 10%, but I also sent far fewer messages so that was a small sample size and probably contained selection bias. 3 matches went literally nowhere: - 1 of them was like a bot, or at least trying to lead me to some kind of paid website service - 1 of them unmatched me before I could message back. although this is partially my own fault. I wasn't really in the mood to do any chatting, so I went to play games for a few hours. when I came back I found that I had been unmatched. - 1 person is in my mutual matches list still and I did not message her yet. I feel like we don't actually have anything in common and I can't think of any conversation I want to have. so I dunno if this one will really go anywhere. of the remaining three - 1 person I messaged once, got a reply, messaged a second time, and didn't get a second reply (it's been 24 hours) - 1 person I have messaged but hasn't messaged me back yet (it's only been a short time) - 1 person I have messaged back and forth a few times but it doesn't feel like it's really going anywhere. oh. I also used my SUPER LIKE on someone who I thought seemed really weird, and they did not mutual match me... at least not yet. --- Reality seems very harsh https://imgur.com/3a03avz ...
