Hinge's Makeover: The New Era For Dating Apps

The only people winning on dating apps are the Owners and Investors.

Well said, Santo

[@genito1]

Ordinary people can "win" too. I met my wife online. We now have a beautiful family. Online dating is a microcosm of real life dating. Sometimes it works out sometimes it doesn't but, it surely increases your dating pool. You re not just limited to your real life network or people you are likely to run into.

[@dannyslebs6321]

Dating apps might be the demise of modern society. People are more dispensable, lonely, insecure, and susceptible to ghosting and always looking for the best "new thing" out there.

[@joolean7799]

This 💯 Pretty sure they also do have a significant effect on the demographic development of industrial countries in the long run..

[@ninawoods5985]

So true. Hinge guy stole his now wife from someone else even though he knew she was engaged, why would you want to meet someone with that person running it? Tinder is for hook ups and losers. Bumble was made only to get back at the founder of Tinder as she didn't want to keep sleeping with him.

Every Hinge user is at the mercy of the algorithm

[@kkp4297]

terrible algorithm

[@ssrb9406]

I actually met someone on there over 3 years ago and we are still very close friends with benefits. Maybe the algorithm was in my favor, but it has more “casual” daters now.

[@ibizawavey8630]

@@ssrb9406 "“casual” daters"? ok i'm downloading it now. I don't need apps because i mean... if you could see me. But if what you're saying is even remotely true i could definitely use it especially now in the middle of winter.

[@justmeandmy]

And the algorithm is owned by Match group which simply wants to maximize shareholder value aka the amount of your money in their pockets.

[@Frivals]

Change user with men. Females have it easy always.

[@Iaintsayinnothin..]

Shows that you don’t actually need a product that works or a startup that actually solves the problem in question - just sell the potential of it being solved and monetise well. Unfortunately the case with a lot of startups these days 😅

[@SAnderson54]

People who can't date successfully in real life thinks it will miraculously change on an app. I think many people don't know how to date and that's why they're complaining about the app. I've had great experiences on Hinge.

[@mko0lpmko0lp]

Agreed. Met my ex back in '21 on the app. Broke up this yr & got back on and recognized many of the same ppl because we either talked before, actually met, or they're still using the same pics & looked familiar. Briefly chatted with about 2/3 and none had been in a relationship since 2021. After hearing what they had to say & talking to a few of my single friends who are girls, i switched to another app (where you can kind of filter out these girls who don't know how to date) & met my current gf.

[@yuliia-o5o]

​@@mko0lpmko0lp that's so interesting. what do you mean by "girls who don't know how to date"? Your comment made me really pause and think 🤔 how does one not know how to date?

[@general_electrics]

The app designs are partially to blame, but not entirely. Most of the problem is in the mentality of the users. Either they aren't actually interested in meeting anyone or they treat everyone they meet as disposable due to an overabundance of _what appear to be_ options.

[@specialiseesi6746]

Well, and who controls the "abundance"? The programmers. Why don´t they LIMIT options to , say, 50 people, and matches to 3 people instead of thousands? Answer: $$$

[@general_electrics]

@@specialiseesi6746 All these decisions are made by the business people, not the programmers. In any case, the whole company needs to make money. They make money through subscriptions. It's a service. People use it, so they pay for it. If people pay for it, they will likely have better results as far as matching, but where people go from there all depends on the others who they match with.

[@MostlyPeacefulNinja]

Correct. Most people are not actually on there to meet anyone. They just want to match with someone and boost their ego. It’s a numbers game to find motivated “buyers” 😂

[@captaincode2481]

Would be nice to have a dating app that: A. Let you actually modify preferences for free B. Let you meet people local to you C. Was actually fun D. Focused on building a brand and community, instead of joining the long list of apps that don’t

[@Aaron-kj8dv]

It's all a business. If you meet the love of your life and delete your profile they lose money. It's like a paradox.

[@saturnreturnmagik]

if everything was free you would have no app

[@yuliia-o5o]

Build one

[@darealphantom]

Like any other dating app Hinge sells you a dream, but I do like his story pretty motivating. Harvard business school definitely taught him the art of finessing

[@BRBallin1]

I don't know...Hinge is way better of a dating app than Tinder, CMB, Bumble. My matches are closer to what I want. CMB and Bumble was pretty bad experience. They make you pay premium to see who liked you. Hinge has no gimmicks like that and I don't feel like I need premium to make the app feel usable.

[@JustineMfulama]

My husband and I met on Hinge 18 months ago too ❤

[@ninawoods5985]

18 months is nothing, you don't know him at all. broken men on there, just wait, his pain will will be brought into it between you inc cheating

[@HauteHorizon]

Congratulations!❤

[@MostlyPeacefulNinja]

@@ninawoods5985So bitter. You sound broken yourself. I hope you’re not on any dating apps. Seek help first

[@ninawoods5985]

facts are facts, no one on there has been on there for years and if they had they were found out to be cheating. Also don't project yourself onto others, that's broken. I have never had anyone cheat on me, this is what others have told me. If truth hurts you, that's your problem and you should work on being able to accept it as you clearly find it makes you bitter instead of realising the truth. Dating apps are for losers and the Hinge guy knows this and is taking you to the cleaners especially the guys that buy on it lol @@MostlyPeacefulNinja

[@ShesooBreezy]

With everyone working from home 🏡, it’s hard to meet people. You gotta go out and meet others. Plus, I like online dating cause it’s human nature to socialize others. We’re suppose to interact with each other. We’re not meant to be alone.

[@dannyslebs6321]

Which is why people are buried on their phones in real life and don't look at people in the eye anymore. Every bus, subway, train is filled with people possessed by their phones.

[@79Dnivara]

Keep 'em single and subscribed. Tell them there's always someone better out there than their current partner.

[@AndrewAllen]

The degree to which dating apps create behaviour versus magnifying it is rarely discussed. Much of the common criticisms around dating apps assumes without the apps, these behaviours wouldn't exist, and that doesn't feel like a compelling assumption.

[@specialiseesi6746]

The business of keeping you single. Imagine a couple guys making millions, billions on your loneliness because in order to make money they turned the app into a slot machine so you can never leave. Epidemics of lonely men and broken women, depression all across the board. Delete your apps.

[@Chemist9662]

If you can afford to make less, makes less. Your apps are ruining people who won't pay for spiritual reasons and to speak plainly you are causing good people to fail and profiting off of harm and peoples luck. You need to provide for the public good not your private pool. Seriously, take your money and give the app to volunteers who will run it. The concentration of power destroys everyone absolutely

[@shelltoe_soul]

Well you had to at least attempt to actually write about something, think about yourself and who you want to match with, and finally present your hopefully coherent profile to the world. It did a fantastic job of onboarding new users and socially pressuring or at least incentivizing people to really work on their profile and put their best foot forward. It clearly is a cut above everyone, but Ive been getting less and less responses. Feels like everyone is fatigued and it’s totally become a full on waste of time.

[@sriharshacv7760]

No dating app is immune to eventual Tinderization. The question is how quickly it becomes Tinder. The main issue is that an avg. male is unattractive to avg. female due to the way the society is engineered for a variety of reasons (politics being one of them). When this happens, an avg. female is going to be bombarded by a disproportionate no. of males and both get bad outcomes. In case of women, they are flooded with too much choice that they repeatedly end up making bad choices (or giving up on the apps). The male ordeal is too well known to describe any further. In other words, no matter how well an online dating product is designed, the moment unlimited choice is introduced, it becomes useless for both. Unlimited 'Choice' is overrated and only increases pain.
