a Python script that would basically give you a chart that would start with, you've been on Tinder for two years, you've swiped 113,000 times, 37% of those were right swipes, the others were left swipes, this is how many matches that led to, this is how many dates that, or, excuse me, conversations that led to, this is how many dates that led to.

And you get to see this funnel, basically, from swipe down to actually meeting up for dates. And I talk in the book, and a few of these are the more egregious examples, but I really don't think that they're complete anomalies, and I'll explain why in a second here.

So there are a couple people that I talk about in the book who had swiped upwards of 100,000 times over four years, and that had landed them maybe a couple thousand matches, and that had landed them a couple hundred conversations, which ultimately led to zero dates.

And just to like kind of break that down from like top to bottom again, it was like four years, a hundred and call it 13, I think was the number of thousand swipes, zero dates.

They had gotten, I think in this case it was like 200 and I'm blank on those, but let's call it 237 ish matches. 237 matches for this person and zero in real life dates.

Yeah, and so I think hopefully this normalizes some of the experiences of people who are feeling like, gosh, you know, like I've been swiping and swiping and swiping, and then like occasionally I do get a match, and then we'll message for a bit, and then maybe it just stops, and I'm getting ghosted, and certainly like other people...

do have a lot of success and so like before i kind of tie a bow on this i just want to also acknowledge michael rosenfeld who's a sociologist over at stanford runs a study called how couples meet and stay together and back in 2017 there were 39 of new relationships that were formed meeting online and today it's closer to 50 percent So it's a statistic we hear thrown around a lot.
