Success on Tinder is as much to do with how you use it as who you are.
There could be the perfect person/people out there for you, but if you don’t find each other as a match, what’s the point of hours of pointless swiping? You may as well put an ad up in the newsagents’ window.
Thankfully, folk at Cosmopolitan have revealed a simple trick to maximising your matches – and it’s to do with the time of day you use the app.
They explain that the peak hours for amassing the most matches is during 6pm and 9pm – with interaction tailing drastically after 10pm…
Data from Nielsen showed Tinder users are most active around 9 p.m., beginning to spike a few hours beforehand. The research firm found activity on the app begins to heat up around 6 p.m. most days and peaks at 9 p.m., with about 51.64 percent of the audience active in that hour. After 10 p.m., your chance of finding someone to hook up with crashes, with only 6 percent of users swiping. Only 1 percent of users checked the app after 2 a.m.
Sounds like it’s less a case of Netflix and chill and more Corrie and flirt.
