This is how Tinder finds your matches
Swipe left or swipe right That's the thing. The Tinder application to flirt has been creating encounters among users from all over the world for some time now , which has made it the favorite application on the market to flirt However, far from leaving everything to the users' decision, now it is discovered thatTinder has an internal algorithm that is responsible for matching similar profiles according to their desirabilityIn other words, Tinder would be bringing together the beautiful with the handsome and the ugly with the ugly , more or less.
That is at least what emerges from the interview given by its CEO or executive director, Sean Rad, to the publication Fast Company, where he commented that the dating application is not as free or simple as it may seem at first And it is that it would not only be showing the close contacts to the user so that he can like or get rid of them at will, but the application studies the user's own profile and evaluates it according to its desirability A score that in Tinderknown as ”˜Elo”™
With this, this social network of hookups has a point of reference to show profiles that could be the most compatibleA score that allows you to assess, presumably, the most stable or significant relationships according to their Elo valuePerhaps something that does not necessarily translate into bringing together the beautiful with the handsome and the ugly with the ugly, but doing so with those who are desirably compatible
Now, how do you get a good rating of Elo? Here lies the key to the Tinder algorithm to present new profiles to the user, and it is something much more complex than it may seem due to the different criteria with which What does that algorithm count? After two and a half months of work, according to those responsible, Tinder is able to measure desirability according to the number of likes and I don't like that the user profile receives Of course, it is a weighted data, since a more desirable profile does not score the same as one that is not so desirable Something they compare to the online multiplayer game Warcraft, where a player receives more points when they defeat an enemy with a higher level, and except when his level is lower than the player's.
In this way, the way in which Tinder presents other profiles to the user is far from random, relying on a pattern customized for each user. An algorithm that is in charge of matching profiles with an Elo score or similar desirability All this in order that the resulting relationship be fruitful Of course, creating the meeting depends on each user. Of course, apparently there are specific formulas to make a profile more attractive to other users (not to the Tinder algorithm), like the men wear long-sleeved shirts in their main photo, or have girls wear dressA good description with hobbies and concerns can be key to achieving a slide to the right and the long-awaited match.
