“But I got blocked from Tinder because I drunkenly kept messaging girls to sit on my face.” “The Super Like did make me more likely to swipe right on someone, unless the guy was clearly not my type,” says Jade, a 24-year-old from Seattle. Out of the hundred-some responses, only five women said the Super Like was a compelling factor. The other half - 55 people - were almost entirely men. On Instagram, I polled more than 100 people half said the Super Like does not make them any more likely to swipe right in return. “More women opt to match: ‘Wow, this loser Super Liked me, why not.’”Īmong women, though, I found that it didn’t have as strong of an effect - or they just didn’t want to admit it did. “Super Likes are a success for the most part,” Ethan, a 26-year-old guy from Massachusetts, tells MEL. What’s more, conversations that begin with a Super Like last 70 percent longer, the company says. That’s why Super Likes are said to be a more successful tactic in getting a match than traditional right swipes.Īccording to a Tinder representative, the app’s data show that Super Likes are three times more likely to receive a match. You’re the one they opted to shoot their single shot with. So when you see someone’s Super Liked you, you know you’re special. Regular, non-paying users get to utilize only one Super Like a day (paying members get five, and anyone can buy more Super Likes at a dollar a pop). It’s a way to “let you let them know that they stand out from everyone else” as you’re swiping through profiles. This is the thinking behind the Super Like, which Tinder introduced a few years ago. We know a simple match means nothing: People are out here using auto-likers to increase their odds, and if they’re not, let me assure you that straight men will swipe right on just about any woman.īut what if you could be someone’s favorite match of the day? That’s cute, right? Thing is, Tinder would like you - and by you I mean men - to believe that you can make a woman more interested in you by stating you’re very interested in her. It was no biggie to swipe left on a dude who, for even the smallest reason, did not light my fire. Dick is abundant and low value, as lawyer and MEL writer Madeleine Holden famously tweeted. On Tinder, men are an endlessly renewable resource. It didn’t matter what you looked like my thumb instinctively pushed your profile away from me forever. I got so used to thoughtlessly swiping left in disapproval, rejection became a subconscious habit. Especially the ones who’ve come across me. I feel sorry for straight guys on Tinder.
