So you might as well hop on the bandwagon now!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>But before you do, you may be wondering, what is Tinder, and how does it work? Tinder is an online dating app that works by allowing you to browse through profiles where you can like (swipe right) or dislike (swipe left).

But it does have paid subscriptions, which unlock certain extra features. They are called <a href=\"https:\/\/tinder.com\/en-GB\/feature\/plus\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Tinder Plus<\/a>, Tinder <a href=\"https:\/\/tinder.com\/en-GB\/feature\/gold\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Gold<\/a>, and Tinder <a href=\"https:\/\/tinder.com\/en-GB\/feature\/platinum\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Platinum<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&rsquo;re a frenzied swiper or you want to get boosted to the top of the deck, you might need to splash out. We&rsquo;ll cover Tinder&rsquo;s paid tiers in detail below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once downloaded, the app will prompt you to join Tinder by either linking your phone number or a Facebook or Google account. Whether you choose Google or your social network, <a href=\"https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/is-it-safe-to-use-a-phone-number-on-tinder\/\">you&rsquo;ll need to verify your phone number<\/a> to create an account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, if your account happens to get deleted, you&rsquo;ll need a new phone number to build a brand-new account. Just <a href=\"https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/tinder-deleted-my-account\/\">follow the steps for restarting your Tinder account<\/a> to get a clean slate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Tinder Profiles and Photos Work<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&rsquo;re curious about Tinder, you&rsquo;ll need a profile. You <a href=\"https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/can-i-browse-tinder-without-joining\/\">can&rsquo;t browse Tinder without joining<\/a> but signing up is easy and free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Your Profile<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The first thing to do is set your profile up. This serves as a snapshot of your interests, values, personality, and &hellip;what you look like. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Putting together your profile is arguably the most important part of the process, as this is your first impression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&rsquo;s look at how to make it count. Before we get to that, you can edit your profile by clicking &lsquo;Edit Info&rsquo; on the below screen.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"422\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/How-Does-Tinder-And-Its-Algorithm-Work-edit-profile.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-24434\" style=\"width:317px;height:563px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/How-Does-Tinder-And-Its-Algorithm-Work-edit-profile.png 422w, https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/How-Does-Tinder-And-Its-Algorithm-Work-edit-profile-169x300.png 169w, https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/How-Does-Tinder-And-Its-Algorithm-Work-edit-profile-84x150.png 84w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 422px) 100vw, 422px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"422\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/How-Does-Tinder-And-Its-Algorithm-Work-edit-profile.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-24434 lazyload\" style=\"width:317px;height:563px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/How-Does-Tinder-And-Its-Algorithm-Work-edit-profile.png 422w, https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/How-Does-Tinder-And-Its-Algorithm-Work-edit-profile-169x300.png 169w, https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/How-Does-Tinder-And-Its-Algorithm-Work-edit-profile-84x150.png 84w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 422px) 100vw, 422px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/How-Does-Tinder-And-Its-Algorithm-Work-edit-profile.png\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-7\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color\" style=\"color:#3aafa9\">Your Tinder Photos<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Tinder allows you to add a total of 9 photos or &ldquo;Loops&rdquo; to your profile. Unlike some apps, you can get away with one picture on Tinder but I&rsquo;d say get started with a minimum of 3 photos showing yourself clearly with some variation. Put your best pics forward!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Loops are basically Tinder&rsquo;s version of a GIF. It&rsquo;s a short video clip that plays back and forth and a good Loop is really attention-grabbing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tinder offers a tool called Smart Photo here. This uses an algorithm to calculate which of your pics should be shown first. It&rsquo;s definitely worth keeping this on to give you the best chance of a right swipe<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&rsquo;re uncertain about which dating app fits you best, <a href=\"http:\/\/dude-hack.com\/best-dating-app-quiz\">taking our quiz<\/a> can precisely determine the right one for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color\" style=\"color:#3aafa9\">About Me<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Also known as your bio, tagline, or description, the &lsquo;About Me&rsquo; section is highly important. To hit this fact home, I should point out that just having a bio (versus no bio) <a href=\"https:\/\/arxiv.org\/pdf\/1607.01952.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">increases your chances of getting right-swiped by 300%<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/tinder-bio-dos-donts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Related: Bio Do&rsquo;s And Don&rsquo;ts<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tinder gives you 500 characters to wax lyrical in this section. If you&rsquo;re struggling for inspiration about what to <a href=\"https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/funny-tinder-bios-for-guys\/\">write in your bio<\/a>, it&rsquo;s best not to take it too seriously.

Connecting your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spotify.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Spotify<\/a> allows you to show off some of your favorite songs and artists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>People tend to like people that like similar things to them.

You can&rsquo;t filter by interests or lifestyle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>So how do Tinder Preferences work? Choose your Tinder preferences in the Discovery Settings section. You can choose what gender you are looking for (pick men, women, or everyone), the age range of your matches, and the maximum distance a profile can be from you.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To set your personal preferences simply go to the &lsquo;Discovery&rsquo; section of your settings and slide the toggle to your preferred age and distance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tinder might get a bit flexible with your age and distance settings if you&rsquo;re running out of people to swipe on. If these are hard limits, toggle the &ldquo;Only show people in this range&rdquo; button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just a little hint if you are thinking about being very specific with your preferred age range: there are lots of people on Tinder that would have set an age on their Facebook account once upon a time as a joke and their age now shows as 83, when really, they are 23 with not so saggy skin.

The profiles displayed to you whilst swiping will have to fit the preferences you set in the previous stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, if you set that you are only interested in women, you shouldn&rsquo;t see any male profiles while swiping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>So how does Tinder swiping work? Once you come across a profile that piques your interest you can &lsquo;like&rsquo; or &lsquo;right-swipe&rsquo; that person. This is done by either physically swiping your fingers right, or pressing the little love heart icon. To send a Super Like hit the blue star. If you aren&rsquo;t interested in that profile, just swipe left or click the &lsquo;X&rsquo;.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you get trigger-happy and swipe left on a profile you liked the look of, you can rewind your last swipe &ndash; but only if you pay for Tinder Plus, Gold or Premium.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"391\" height=\"648\" src=\"https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/How-Does-Tinder-And-Its-Algorithm-Work-swiping-on-tinder.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-24439\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/How-Does-Tinder-And-Its-Algorithm-Work-swiping-on-tinder.png 391w, https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/How-Does-Tinder-And-Its-Algorithm-Work-swiping-on-tinder-181x300.png 181w, https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/How-Does-Tinder-And-Its-Algorithm-Work-swiping-on-tinder-91x150.png 91w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 391px) 100vw, 391px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"391\" height=\"648\" src=\"https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/How-Does-Tinder-And-Its-Algorithm-Work-swiping-on-tinder.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-24439 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/How-Does-Tinder-And-Its-Algorithm-Work-swiping-on-tinder.png 391w, https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/How-Does-Tinder-And-Its-Algorithm-Work-swiping-on-tinder-181x300.png 181w, https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/How-Does-Tinder-And-Its-Algorithm-Work-swiping-on-tinder-91x150.png 91w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 391px) 100vw, 391px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/How-Does-Tinder-And-Its-Algorithm-Work-swiping-on-tinder.png\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-14\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How Many Free Likes Do You Get On Tinder?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For free Tinder users, there&rsquo;s a limited number of likes every day.

That&rsquo;s always going to mean fire. You&rsquo;re not swiping for a thumb workout, you&rsquo;re here to match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>So how does Tinder matching work? Simply swipe right on profiles to indicate a Like. If you and another profile both like each other, congratulations, you have a match! That means that the two of you are now able to send messages to each other.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tinder works exactly the same for straight couples and same-sex matches. Swipe away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And keep in mind that the only way to message someone on Tinder is to match with them unless you have splashed out on a Platinum subscription.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"422\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/How-Does-Tinder-And-Its-Algorithm-Work-its-a-match-tinder.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-24444\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/How-Does-Tinder-And-Its-Algorithm-Work-its-a-match-tinder.png 422w, https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/How-Does-Tinder-And-Its-Algorithm-Work-its-a-match-tinder-169x300.png 169w, https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/How-Does-Tinder-And-Its-Algorithm-Work-its-a-match-tinder-84x150.png 84w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 422px) 100vw, 422px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"422\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/How-Does-Tinder-And-Its-Algorithm-Work-its-a-match-tinder.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-24444 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/How-Does-Tinder-And-Its-Algorithm-Work-its-a-match-tinder.png 422w, https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/How-Does-Tinder-And-Its-Algorithm-Work-its-a-match-tinder-169x300.png 169w, https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/How-Does-Tinder-And-Its-Algorithm-Work-its-a-match-tinder-84x150.png 84w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 422px) 100vw, 422px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/How-Does-Tinder-And-Its-Algorithm-Work-its-a-match-tinder.png\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-17\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Can You See Who Likes You On Tinder?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Maybe you are here for a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uhcw.nhs.uk\/download\/clientfiles\/files\/Patient%20Information%20Leaflets\/Clinical%20Support%20Services\/Physiotherapy\/119041_Hand_Therapy_-_Thumb_exercises_(2029)_-_June_2019.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">thumb workout<\/a>, and maybe your thumb is getting tired! If only you could see who likes you without all that swiping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>So can you see who likes you on Tinder? Yes, in the Likes You section you will see everyone who has liked your profile. Unfortunately, you are only able to access this list if you have Tinder Gold, which requires a paid monthly subscription. The only way to see who has liked you when you are using the free version of Tinder is to get swiping.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you aren&rsquo;t subscribed to Gold, Tinder will occasionally tell you that you have a &ldquo;secret admirer&rdquo;. This is just a prompt for &ldquo;Likes You&rdquo; and you&rsquo;ll have to cough up to see who it is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Unmatching on Tinder<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>No pressure here &ndash; a match isn&rsquo;t a lifelong commitment. If you want to unmatch someone, tap on the little blue shield in the corner of your chat with them. You&rsquo;ll <a href=\"https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/what-does-it-mean-if-a-conversation-disappears-on-tinder\/\">disappear from their match list<\/a>, and they won&rsquo;t be able to contact you again.

Messaging on Tinder is always free and with Tinder, it&rsquo;s also a free-for-all. Either gender can send the first message, and however many more your heart desires. You can also video chat, but both parties have to turn this on before it&rsquo;s available.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"408\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/How-Does-Tinder-And-Its-Algorithm-Work-tinder-messaging.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-24445\" style=\"width:306px;height:563px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/How-Does-Tinder-And-Its-Algorithm-Work-tinder-messaging.png 408w, https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/How-Does-Tinder-And-Its-Algorithm-Work-tinder-messaging-163x300.png 163w, https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/How-Does-Tinder-And-Its-Algorithm-Work-tinder-messaging-82x150.png 82w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 408px) 100vw, 408px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"408\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/How-Does-Tinder-And-Its-Algorithm-Work-tinder-messaging.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-24445 lazyload\" style=\"width:306px;height:563px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/How-Does-Tinder-And-Its-Algorithm-Work-tinder-messaging.png 408w, https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/How-Does-Tinder-And-Its-Algorithm-Work-tinder-messaging-163x300.png 163w, https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/How-Does-Tinder-And-Its-Algorithm-Work-tinder-messaging-82x150.png 82w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 408px) 100vw, 408px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/How-Does-Tinder-And-Its-Algorithm-Work-tinder-messaging.png\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-18\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>So there are no limitations to messaging though, that definitely doesn&rsquo;t mean sending a message on the minute, every minute until you receive a response. There are loads of <a href=\"https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/great-tinder-conversations\/\">common errors guys make <\/a>when sending messages on Tinder, right from the first move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Read Receipts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Halloween may have come and gone, but ghosting is with us all year round. If you&rsquo;re desperate to know if someone&rsquo;s seen your wisecrack, you can get read receipts on Tinder &ndash; for a price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But at around $3 each, it&rsquo;s not cheap and you&rsquo;re still going to be waiting for a reply. My advice is not to waste your money here and don&rsquo;t get too invested in a Tinder chat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Does The Tinder Algorithm Work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Tinder&rsquo;s algorithm manages the profiles you see in Discover. Ah, this cold, calculated robot getting between you and the love of your life. Or your next hookup!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>So how does the Tinder algorithm work? Well, as it calculates your ELO score, Tinder&rsquo;s algorithm is basically your &ldquo;Tinder ranking&rdquo;. This score determines who your profile is shown to and which profiles you see. Obviously, the higher your score, the better the profiles you will match with.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A lot of people don&rsquo;t even know that this score exists, let alone that there are many ways to affect it, both positively and negatively. Let&rsquo;s look at some ways you can impact your ELO:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>The percentage of people who Like you as a whole<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The percentage of people who Like you back<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The ELO score of those people Liking you<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How active you are on Tinder<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Which profiles you Like<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Whether you send a message or get a reply to your message<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you pay for Tinder. Tinder bumps the ELO of paid subscribers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Basically, Tinder tracks everything you do and figures out how hot you are while it&rsquo;s at it. Fortunately, Tinder rewards accounts that are regularly updated with a stronger ELO, so by <a href=\"https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/tinder-bio-dos-donts\/\">updating your bi<\/a>o and adding newer, better pictures you can get a bump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Your ELO Score Explained\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/29zVV1UgUsw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen loading=\"lazy\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Paid Tinder Works<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To maximize profits in a climate of growing popularity, Tinder decided to extend more features to its users&hellip; at a cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tinder is one of the top-grossing apps on the App Store and Google Play so obviously there are a lot of people who are happy to splash out on a paid feature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The offered subscription levels are Tinder Plus, Tinder Gold, and the elite Tinder Platinum, as well as a range of one-off in-app purchases. So you can pay monthly, or just buy the things that matter to you most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The one-time extra paid features are as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color\" style=\"color:#3aafa9\">Boost<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are going to spend extra money, on top of a subscription, it should be to buy extra Boosts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Basically what <a href=\"https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/tinder-boost\/\">Tinder Boost<\/a> does is allow you to skip the line and be right at the front of the queue of Tinder for 30 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This means that if any female is active within that 30 minutes and decides to swipe through even a couple of people, they will most likely see you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are times when I will go to a new city and every single match I have is from Boost.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"450\" height=\"487\" src=\"https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/How-Does-Tinder-And-Its-Algorithm-Work-tinder-boost.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-24446\" style=\"width:338px;height:365px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/How-Does-Tinder-And-Its-Algorithm-Work-tinder-boost.png 450w, https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/How-Does-Tinder-And-Its-Algorithm-Work-tinder-boost-277x300.png 277w, https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/How-Does-Tinder-And-Its-Algorithm-Work-tinder-boost-139x150.png 139w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"450\" height=\"487\" src=\"https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/How-Does-Tinder-And-Its-Algorithm-Work-tinder-boost.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-24446 lazyload\" style=\"width:338px;height:365px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/How-Does-Tinder-And-Its-Algorithm-Work-tinder-boost.png 450w, https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/How-Does-Tinder-And-Its-Algorithm-Work-tinder-boost-277x300.png 277w, https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/How-Does-Tinder-And-Its-Algorithm-Work-tinder-boost-139x150.png 139w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/How-Does-Tinder-And-Its-Algorithm-Work-tinder-boost.png\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-19\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Besides the obvious fact that skipping to the front of the line is a massive benefit, there are other reasons why Boost works so well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You&rsquo;ve heard me talk about Tinder&rsquo;s algorithm in slight detail. The truth is, no matter what anyone else may say, Tinder rewards its paying users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So when you are setting off a boost, Tinder is doing everything in its power, to ensure it really does improve your reach, and the overall amount of matches, so you keep spending money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color\" style=\"color:#3aafa9\">Super Likes<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>You can&rsquo;t message on Tinder without matching, but a Super Like sends a kind of message for you. It says you&rsquo;re seriously interested, and maybe that person is more likely to match back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tinder Gold and Platinum subscribers get 5 <a href=\"https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/what-is-the-star-on-tinder\/\">free Super Likes<\/a> each week while free Tinder schmucks have to pay for individual Super Likes.<br>There are pluses and minuses to this feature. Your Super Like will hit the top of her recent likes, making you stand out. But since it&rsquo;s a paid feature, some women might find it a little desperate. My advice? Save your money and <a href=\"https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/ultimate-tinder-bio-guide-2018\/\">make your profile stand out<\/a> so you don&rsquo;t need a Like to do it for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color\" style=\"color:#3aafa9\">Super Boost<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>This is Tinder&rsquo;s latest add-on feature, and in my opinion, an attempt at increasing their average spend of users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Obviously, this is the goal with all add-on features, but to date, the super boost is the most expensive, high-ticket one-time purchase on Tinder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Think a Boost, but on steroids. It puts you to the front of the queue for a whopping 3 hours, promising 100 times for profile views, rather than the measly 10x you will achieve from a regular Boost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am yet to try it out but keep checking into the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCRmdSWOB7bQ_fUe-njgnEMQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Dude Hack YouTube Channel<\/a>, as I will soon bite the bullet, spend the money, and test out the Super Boost&rsquo;s effectiveness.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"331\" height=\"700\" src=\"https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/How-Does-Tinder-And-Its-Algorithm-Work-tinder-super-boost.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-24447\" style=\"width:248px;height:525px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/How-Does-Tinder-And-Its-Algorithm-Work-tinder-super-boost.png 331w, https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/How-Does-Tinder-And-Its-Algorithm-Work-tinder-super-boost-142x300.png 142w, https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/How-Does-Tinder-And-Its-Algorithm-Work-tinder-super-boost-71x150.png 71w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 331px) 100vw, 331px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"331\" height=\"700\" src=\"https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/How-Does-Tinder-And-Its-Algorithm-Work-tinder-super-boost.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-24447 lazyload\" style=\"width:248px;height:525px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/How-Does-Tinder-And-Its-Algorithm-Work-tinder-super-boost.png 331w, https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/How-Does-Tinder-And-Its-Algorithm-Work-tinder-super-boost-142x300.png 142w, https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/How-Does-Tinder-And-Its-Algorithm-Work-tinder-super-boost-71x150.png 71w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 331px) 100vw, 331px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/How-Does-Tinder-And-Its-Algorithm-Work-tinder-super-boost.png\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-20\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Paid Tinder Features: Tinder Plus vs Gold vs Platinum<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Tinder lets you splash out on Boosts and Super Likes, but paid users get some of these for free every week as well as a range of other premium features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are three tiers: <a href=\"https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/tinder-gold-vs-tinder-platinum\/\">Tinder Plus, Tinder Gold, and Tinder Platinum<\/a>.

I mean, what do you have to gain by doing so?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have witnessed a lot of fake Tinder profiles or bots, you would probably notice a trend that a lot of them hide their distance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Having your match question whether you are real or not isn&rsquo;t a great start.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"535\" height=\"327\" src=\"https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/How-Does-Tinder-And-Its-Algorithm-Work-control-your-profile.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-24450\" style=\"width:401px;height:245px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/How-Does-Tinder-And-Its-Algorithm-Work-control-your-profile.png 535w, https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/How-Does-Tinder-And-Its-Algorithm-Work-control-your-profile-300x183.png 300w, https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/How-Does-Tinder-And-Its-Algorithm-Work-control-your-profile-150x92.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 535px) 100vw, 535px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"535\" height=\"327\" src=\"https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/How-Does-Tinder-And-Its-Algorithm-Work-control-your-profile.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-24450 lazyload\" style=\"width:401px;height:245px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/How-Does-Tinder-And-Its-Algorithm-Work-control-your-profile.png 535w, https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/How-Does-Tinder-And-Its-Algorithm-Work-control-your-profile-300x183.png 300w, https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/How-Does-Tinder-And-Its-Algorithm-Work-control-your-profile-150x92.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 535px) 100vw, 535px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/How-Does-Tinder-And-Its-Algorithm-Work-control-your-profile.png\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-23\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color\" style=\"color:#3aafa9\">Hide Age<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>For the same reasons above, don&rsquo;t hide your age.

There are definitely other people on Tinder your age!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color\" style=\"color:#3aafa9\">Control Who Sees You<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Only ever change this if you have some sort of privacy issue. Basically, you can pick that everyone can see you (standard), or only people you have already liked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Obviously, picking the latter will mean far fewer matches, and requires you to consistently swipe. But it gives you <a href=\"https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/can-you-go-invisible-on-tinder\/\">complete control over who sees you on Tinder<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color\" style=\"color:#3aafa9\">Control Who You See<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Here you can choose which profiles are shown to you whilst swiping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can either choose the normal way of swiping (balanced) or &lsquo;recently active&rsquo; which will show you active users from that day. I believe &lsquo;balanced&rsquo; is best as there are loads of great profiles who aren&rsquo;t logging on every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color\" style=\"color:#3aafa9\">Passport<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are about to go to a new city or are scoping out the scene at a place you&rsquo;re thinking of going traveling to, Passport allows you to start swiping and matching with people from different areas around the globe.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"344\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/How-Does-Tinder-And-Its-Algorithm-Work-tinder-passport.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-24451\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/How-Does-Tinder-And-Its-Algorithm-Work-tinder-passport.png 344w, https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/How-Does-Tinder-And-Its-Algorithm-Work-tinder-passport-258x300.png 258w, https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/How-Does-Tinder-And-Its-Algorithm-Work-tinder-passport-129x150.png 129w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 344px) 100vw, 344px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"344\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/How-Does-Tinder-And-Its-Algorithm-Work-tinder-passport.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-24451 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/How-Does-Tinder-And-Its-Algorithm-Work-tinder-passport.png 344w, https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/How-Does-Tinder-And-Its-Algorithm-Work-tinder-passport-258x300.png 258w, https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/How-Does-Tinder-And-Its-Algorithm-Work-tinder-passport-129x150.png 129w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 344px) 100vw, 344px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/How-Does-Tinder-And-Its-Algorithm-Work-tinder-passport.png\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-24\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is Tinder Plus Worth It?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Tinder has gotten a <em>lot <\/em>more expensive recently. And you used to get free Boosts and Super Likes with Plus. Not anymore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>So is Tinder Plus worth it? If privacy is important to you then the Control Who Sees You function is worth the money, and Passport is great if you&rsquo;re traveling. Otherwise, you&rsquo;re just paying to be able to use more Likes each day, so if you&rsquo;re not running out it isn&rsquo;t worth it.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Tinder Gold Works<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Obviously, with Tinder Gold, you get everything that&rsquo;s included with Plus and a little more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But it&rsquo;s also a little more expensive. While the price varies for everyone based on gender, age, current location, and even the mysterious ELO, it&rsquo;s usually between $22.49 for a single month and around $7.50 per month if you&rsquo;re willing to pay for a year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color\" style=\"color:#3aafa9\">See Who Likes You<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>It really should be renamed to Tinder &ldquo;See Who Likes You&rdquo;, because this is THE main feature of Tinder Gold.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What that means, is you can see which Tinder users have actually swiped right on you, before you swipe on them. These users have a <a href=\"https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/what-does-the-yellow-heart-on-tinder-mean\/\">little yellow heart on them<\/a> once you&rsquo;ve matched.

Because you get a taste of this with free Tinder, you&rsquo;ll probably know if it&rsquo;s important to you before you upgrade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>5 Free Daily Super Likes<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As mentioned above, you will receive a new 5 Super Likes every week to use to your heart&rsquo;s desire. Use them wisely, because it&rsquo;s not worth it spending more for extra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1 Free Monthly Boost<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A Tinder Boost is one of the most effective features as described earlier. Each month you get access to one free Boost. As this is quite seldom, use it wisely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, it would be a complete waste if you decided to activate your Boost on a Tuesday mid-morning because barely anyone would be on the app for the 30 minutes that the Boost is active.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check out <a href=\"https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/tinder-boost\/\">this article I&rsquo;ve written about Boosts<\/a>, so you can maximize your matches from that little 30-minute window.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Is Tinder Gold Worth It?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/is-tinder-gold-worth-it\/\">Tinder Gold<\/a> adds a few decent features on top of Plus. But of course, it sets you back a few more bucks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>So is Tinder Gold worth it? For most people, Gold brings substantially more matches, arguably making it worth every cent. Unlocking the &ldquo;Likes You&rdquo; section is the biggest draw for Tinder Gold. This brings you instant matches without trawling through Discover.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Tinder Platinum Works<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Hey big spender. So <em>Gold<\/em> didn&rsquo;t take your fancy and you&rsquo;re looking for something elite? Welcome to Tinder&rsquo;s latest paid tier: <a href=\"https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/what-is-tinder-platinum\/\">Platinum<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Starting at around $29.99\/month, this is certainly not for everyone.

Choosing six great pictures and writing a killer bio will seriously help your chances.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"360\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/How-Does-Tinder-And-Its-Algorithm-Work-swiping-screen-tinder.png\" alt=\"How Does Tinder And Its Algorithm Work - swiping screen tinder\" class=\"wp-image-24459\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/How-Does-Tinder-And-Its-Algorithm-Work-swiping-screen-tinder.png 360w, https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/How-Does-Tinder-And-Its-Algorithm-Work-swiping-screen-tinder-144x300.png 144w, https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/How-Does-Tinder-And-Its-Algorithm-Work-swiping-screen-tinder-72x150.png 72w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 360px) 100vw, 360px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"360\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/How-Does-Tinder-And-Its-Algorithm-Work-swiping-screen-tinder.png\" alt=\"How Does Tinder And Its Algorithm Work - swiping screen tinder\" class=\"wp-image-24459 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/How-Does-Tinder-And-Its-Algorithm-Work-swiping-screen-tinder.png 360w, https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/How-Does-Tinder-And-Its-Algorithm-Work-swiping-screen-tinder-144x300.png 144w, https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/How-Does-Tinder-And-Its-Algorithm-Work-swiping-screen-tinder-72x150.png 72w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 360px) 100vw, 360px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/How-Does-Tinder-And-Its-Algorithm-Work-swiping-screen-tinder.png\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-31\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Does Tinder Work For Guys?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Tinder works the same for guys as for girls &ndash; simply build a profile and swipe on other users. A left swipe means you pass on someone while a right swipe means you like them. If someone likes you back, you can match and chat. Of course, it&rsquo;s not totally equal. Guys outnumber females by around 3 to 1 on Tinder, so as a male on Tinder, you&rsquo;ll need to put some effort into your profile to get matches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&rsquo;ve reached the bottom of this post and are still wondering if Tinder is for you&hellip; just give it a go!
