Blake Jamieson is a former digital marketing employee who became world-renowned for having achieved "the world record number of matches" on Tinder. Blake was an ordinary bachelor who, when he signed up for Tinder, frustrated by the low number of matches he was getting, decided to apply all his marketing knowledge to his own profile on the application. In this way, he achieved 4000 matches.
According to a study in 2005 by the psychology department of the University of Chicago, the Internet appears as the most used medium for dating, followed by the workplace and friends of friends in third place. Also in 2017 and 2018 Tinder was the most downloaded application worldwide. And it is worth noting that Tinder is just one of many apps out there.
Moreover, contrary to the popular prejudice that these apps are only good for casual sex, in another study by the University of Chicago, statistically there is a 25% greater chance that a relationship will grow if people met virtually than if they met in the traditional way. Most researchers agree that this is probably because the web allows candidates to choose each other with more information available and on the basis of mutual affinities. Thus, dating apps are becoming increasingly relevant when it comes to meeting someone.
However, things are not looking quite so Rosy for men: according to the results of a study from The Washington Post: men's profiles only had matches with 0.6% of the users, while women's profiles had matches with 10.5% of the users. The difference is very large and it is hardly a mere coincidence, but rather a general behavioral pattern.
Be that as it may, this does not prevent us from learning how to improve our use of these Apps to create a better presentation of ourselves. Dating apps and online flirting offer, as never before, the possibility to statistically evaluate what works and what doesn't when it comes to seduction. Many men and women have conducted experiments to determine which phrase is the best conversation starter, which photos generate the most attraction, or which description will get someone to talk to you in a sea of potential partners. So I divided this guide into 3 parts: photos, description and conversation.
