In our continued efforts to increase dating happiness, we’re getting two more Tinder questions from TecjJunkie users. Specifically today, “Does Tinder limit the number of matches you can have?” We will answer your question. While we’re here, we’ll also explain what Tinder’s ELO score is all about.
As we expand the coverage of Tinder and Bumble dating apps, the number of emails and questions about these apps has increased slightly. We’ll do our best to answer as many dating app questions as possible in our articles, so check out TechJunkie for regular Tinder and Bumble articles!
.Even though I don’t use it to find love anymore, I love Tinder and Bumble because they’ve both been helpful in finding dating in the past, I like that these apps level the playing field when it comes to dating in a way. It gave more power to women (Bumble in particular) and forced men to change tactics to be successful. I love anything that adds a new dimension to an existing pastime and forces us all to keep improving.
Sure, swiping left or right on Tinder gets old fast, but it takes a lot less effort than getting dressed and heading to the local bar!
Does Tinder limit the number of matches you can have?
As far as I can tell, Tinder limits swipes and likes unless you switch from a free plan to a paid plan. But Tinder doesn’t limit the number of matches you can have at any given time.
Unless you upgrade to Tinder Plus, swipes will naturally be limited and you’ll also be limited by your pool of possible dates, but I’ve found no evidence of artificial limits on the number of matches you can have in the app.
Your success on Tinder has more to do with where you live, how many users you have around you, and the quality of your bio and photos. TechJunkie has covered getting more matches on other posts if you think you can perform better. Given how important your primary Tinder photo is to your success on Tinder, how does Tinder Smart Photos work? I strongly recommend that you read it. Smart Photos takes the guesswork out of deciding which photos to use to get maximum accurate swipes and matches on Tinder.
I’ve seen screenshots of Tinder users with over a thousand matches, so I don’t think there is a limit to the number of matches you can have.
What is the Tinder ELO score about?
It turns out there is a not so secret algorithm that Tinder uses, called the ELO score. Your Tinder ELO score consists of several factors such as whether you are a new user, your attractiveness scale, how many swipes left (not interested) and right swipes (interested), the quality of your photos and some other factors.
Your ELO score is important as it affects how “hot” the cards shown are and where your own card is on the pile for potential dates.
There is no direct concrete proof of all this, but many people have worked hard to learn about the EO score, or even reverse-engineered what the ELO score means to some degree. While this answer is as accurate as possible, it’s unverified, so whatever you’re going to do. At their core, statements about how Tinder’s ELO score works are educated guesses based on observations.
What do we think makes up your ELO score? You might be surprised to learn what factors increase your ELO score on Tinder.
‘noob boost’
This is the bait hook designed to get you subscribed to Tinder Plus or Gold. It is an artificial boost that gets you higher in the stack and exposes you to more potential matches. The idea is to give you some initial success that keeps you coming back for more. How empowered you are is still up for debate, but the fact that there is one is no longer debated.
Some people find it counterintuitive that new uses will score better than established Tinder users, but that still seems to be the case.
attractiveness scale
There seems to be a scale of attractiveness that is defined as a score between 1 and 10, although that’s not exactly the case. Your profile is given a score based on how many people swiped you and in which direction. Your images are also evaluated using an algorithm similar to Photofeeler’s.
Also, the attractiveness score of those who swipe you is thought to affect your ELO score. Swipe right for 10 seconds and your own score will increase. It is mostly scrolled for 3 seconds and it will decrease.
Site usage and feedback
According to some, what you do when you get a match also contributes to your ELO score on Tinder. If you get a match and don’t text it, it counts against you. It will be helpful if you send a message. It’s thought to depend on how many swipes you swipe left or right and how much you swipe left or right. If you ignore your matches, it will negatively affect your ELO score. The idea is that Tinder wants to encourage interaction between matches.
There is a belief that ELO is also affected by your selectivity. Swipe everyone to the right and your score will drop. Just swipe right on one percentage and it should stay the same or increase. A reason not to swipe right on everyone you see!
Remember, all this about the ELO score is unofficial and unconfirmed. Still, many tests have been done over the years to see if any of these are true. While quantitative data is not available, anecdotal testers believe the score works that way.
