That's fine. It wasn't going to work out with them anyway.
but you're giving other people another reason to swipe right. And try to keep it a little bit lighthearted. Try to add a little bit of fun to your profiles. And then the paid features do work. I'm not saying go spend all your money on them. That's not the goal. And in fact, Tinder, we tried to... We tried to make the paid feature something that it would just break the system if everybody had it.
But if it was something that we felt that everybody would truly benefit from having it, then it shouldn't be a paid feature. Um, so the paid features we kind of saw as, as superpowers. And so they're, they're useful, but I'm not, you know, you can get by just fine without them. So if you don't need it, don't, I'm not suggesting, you know, I make no money off of it now.
So don't, I'm not, I'm not trying to push anybody to go spend all their money on Tinder or any other of the platforms. But, um, But some of them do work. So it's worth trying. And it might be worth trying. Last I read is the average online daters on three platforms. Maybe try a little something different on each platform too, which is your own A-B test.
So I think those are some ways it might help.
Absolutely. Absolutely. I mean, there's a lot of proof that they do work. That doesn't mean to say that things aren't difficult. They're difficult out the bars, too. They're difficult everywhere. And it's a matter of portraying yourself in the best way that you can.
Yeah, I think that's a lot of people end up taking it out on dating services as well as online services in general because of... of either what, you know, the people on there or what they're doing and all. And it's, it's it is kind of what you make of it. It's not to say it's all perfect. It isn't, but it is there, there are certainly ways to have a better profile than that for sure.
Pictures are important.
Absolutely.
There's so many. I can't remember. I'll tell you, though, I think one of my favorite things, though, is that I don't even think it's on Tinder. It was a friend of mine that put on his profile that Kinj has some sort of audio thing, and he used an AI thing. I don't remember if it was Obama or somebody basically vouching for him in the little voice note thing. Yeah.
And it's not like nobody thinks that it's Obama or whoever it was doing it. It's just something that's a little fun and playful, and it's something that he certainly attested to. And so I thought that was...
And I think, and I think it kind of all goes back, you know, you're talking about profiles and injecting fun into it, how important that is because you're essentially trying to give an idea of what going on a date with you is going to be like. And you don't want to go on a date with somebody you're not going to have fun with.
So if you're able to inject some fun into your profile, it gives a hint of like, look, we're going to have some fun. That's just hugely important.
Yeah, you're not going to be miserable all night. I think what most people are just trying to avoid is misery. Yes.
I mean, I float somewhere in between. I think some people might call me introverted. Some people might call me extroverted kind of depends on the situation. But I think, you know, from my own experience, the places where I, my introvertedness kind of showed was that, that sort of, especially in those nervousness. And I think the more you practice the better.
And so, you know, go out on those dates and just feel like, you know, as much as possible and, and, You might even think, hey, look, next five dates, they're going to suck. They're all going to suck or something. Actually, don't. Hope for something good. But at the same time, reduce the pressure on it and just use it as experience to get yourself more comfortable.
And the only way to do that is to not... to not make the stakes high, I think. Practice makes perfect. There's a lot of women out there who are introverted, too. That might be a good thing for you, but at the same time, it's going to make it a little bit harder for you to meet. So somebody's got to step up and try to act a little bit more extroverted to make it work.
Well, it's certainly, you know, there's algorithm. I don't even know what the current algorithm is. It changes over time. Including the ELO thing was real. That was a way of just trying to better match people. But there's a lot of things that end up going into it. And one of the things that really is heavily used, we found over the years, was just like, was recency.
So that one's an important one. You got to keep using it. You can't, and I'm not like, again, I'm not there. I'm not making money off of this, but just telling you kind of how things work is that you have to keep using the thing because we want to show other, like we don't want to match somebody up. we didn't want to match somebody up with somebody who was not going to be there to answer them.
We were able to observe that the better chance of a conversation happening and thus ultimately success on Tinder was that conversation happening, and therefore the more recently somebody used the app, the higher the chance of that happening. So that was actually one of the big levers that really there was. So that's one of those things.
