Male to Female Ratios On Dating Apps: Hinge, Tinder, Bumble, Coffee Meets Bagel, OkCupid, POF & Match, Average Age, Demographics, Online Dating Statistics

 

Dating apps are more competitive and frustrating than ever. Incomplete bios, kittenfishing and catfishing on profiles, lazy introductions messages, bad photos and straight up lying and ghosting along with increased monetization efforts has made online dating challenging.

Understanding online dating statistics is key to getting an edge on dating sites like Hinge, Bumble and Tinder that rely heavily on algorithms to predict behavior, monetize on tendencies and prey on insecurities.

Everyone is looking to get an edge with pickup lines, modeling photos, swipe techniques, sketchy elo boosts, and now data research.

Men are more likely to analyze the ways to get an edge on dating apps, and looking at the gender ratios is a start. There is more to figuring out what is the best dating app beyond dating app gender ratios, but for you analytical geeks, continue reading.

 

Dating Apps Male To Female Ratio & Statistics, Best Male To Female Ratio On Dating Sites

Numerous studies, surveys have been published over the years yet none are completely exhaustive or insightful. National studies don’t account for local demographics and differences between apps.

A regional analysis of the San Francisco Bay Area provides more insight at a local level but is only available for sites like Match.com at a point in time.

Places like Los Angeles and the Pacific Northwest fare slightly better, but no places can beat areas like New York if you are a man looking for better odds, ratios.

Rather than focus on which apps have the most women or men, it’s also important to know which apps favor one gender vs the other. Certain apps allow men to stand out more than others while some apps allow women to control who messages them.

No one should use dating apps until they are at least out of college or hit 22. Kids need to practice social skills rather than use apps to meet people.

I would go with the assumption that the ratio of men to women on Tinder is closer to 5:1 up to 10:1 depending on your location, age etc.

Dating Apps With The Most Users, Most Popular Dating Apps, Dating App Gender Ratios

Dating apps vary by age, location, intent, lifestyle and more. People tend to think they are interchangeable, but they are not really. Most women only use 1-2 apps where most guys use 2-4 apps.

Dating apps like Tinder have the most profiles but many of them are bots, scammers, sellers or people looking to build their social media following.

Rather than focus on volume of users or gender ratios, consider your location and other demographics of each app to see which has the most types of people you seek.

 

Are Girls More Selective Than Guys On Dating Apps?

Yes, absolutely. Men are rather indifferent when it comes to height, age, ethnicity, job, education, location etc. The more picky you are, the fewer options you will have.

Why Is Dating So Hard For Guys? Are Dating Apps Harder For Guys?

Guys focus too much on paid boosts, swiping right recklessly and cheesy pickup lines. Add to that self-sabotaging photos, bios, smiles etc. it’s brutal for many guys. Focus on building a great foundation takes time (smiles, wardrobes, activities, grooming skills, writing skills etc).

 

Which Dating Sites Have The Least Fake Profiles, Have Background Checks?

Just because a dating app has the most users doesn’t mean it is the best app out there let alone the best app for you. The best apps out there consider your age, location, demographics, what you seek and lifestyle.

Some dating apps do more extensive screening and background checks than others. With that said, don’t rely on dating apps to screen all bad people nor don’t expect everyone is honest on dating apps. Learning how to identify fake dating profiles as well as online dating red flags will help you with your online dating efforts.

Everything you wanted to know about being left on read, unmatched after giving out numbers, ending conversations when not interested and more.

 

What Age Group Uses Dating Apps The Most?

20 year olds are the largest group, followed by 30 years olds, then 40 year olds etc.

 

Dating Apps With The Most Female Users? Dating Apps With More Women Than Men?

Likely Tinder. That likely has the most female users but also the most male users. You might want to double-check what you are asking. My guess is that you wanted the app with the most female users and best ratio of women to men on the dating apps.

These are the types of tips you will receive through my coaching sessions. It’s not always about which app has the most women, best ratios but which ones you can do best on based on your location, age, personality, race, intentions etc.

 

Why Are There More Guys On Dating Apps?

Guys tend to be more anti-social, be more shy, get approached less by women, prefer technology, get nervous approaching women offline, are too busy to date. Similarly, more women will be approached offline so are not as inclined to join apps. To add to this, women get harassed more often on apps resulting in them abandoning them more quickly.

 

Final Thoughts: Hinge Gender Ratios, Male To Female Ratios On Bumble, Dating Apps

These are taken at a point in time and account for registered accounts, not active accounts, or do they omit scam accounts that are more likely to be found on certain apps than others. Don’t put too much weight on reported Hinge gender ratios or Bumble gender ratios.

The main thing here is to understand who is using which apps and for what purpose. Some apps are better if you are a shorter male, interested in more Asian folks, live in bigger cities, want a relationship, or are exclusively looking for someone with an advanced degree or someone possibly famous.

There are nuggets hidden all over the internet from interviews about specific apps i.e. Hinge ~2015 (50/50 men to women ratio, 90% b/t 23-36 years of age). Additional findings can be found on my resource guide with recommendations for studies, survey, podcasts, books and more.

I dig into this a little more in this article, but clients get a customized profile analysis and personal dating app assessment when they hire me.
