Tinder survey reveals what singles look for the most
Tinder Survey 2023
We already know that you get 6 seconds approx to impress with your pictures on a dating app. Since you have such a small window when it comes to online dating, having an understanding of what today's modern dating crowd is looking for is a way to get a heads up on the competition.
The fastest way to accomplish this is to have a look at some of the results from the surveys that Tinder themselves take while people are in the app and learn what swipers are focusing on the most.
Following a successful launch in 2012 Tinder is still the world’s most popular place to date online with over 530 million downloads. These Tinder dating statistics were taken in the last 6 months.
After you have found an amazing dating photographer that can overhaul your pictures the next task is incorporating this new survey info so you can create a sizzling profile. You can keep up to date as the data drops in our regular newsletter.
Dating app statistics
In February 2023 OnePoll conducted a study on behalf of Tinder on the Tinder dating platform. Data was gathered from 4000 users ranging from ages 18 to 25 in the UK, US and AU.
Tinder dating survey results
40% Are looking for a long term relationship
You might have assumed this would be higher, but given the growing level of accessibility that dating apps afford, and the fact that these are younger users, it does seem acceptable that less and less people want to be tied into a long commitment.
13% of all swipers are looking for a short-term connection
This figure would be much higher if this was focused on just men, but currently the desire for a fling is very low amongst the average user.
29% says their sexually has become more fluid in the past 3 years
Being able to select up to four pronouns (from a list of over 15) has opened up new connections and possibilities for many on the app. This increased inclusivity seems to have allowed singles to be more expressive in who they are and what they are looking for.
52% of Gen Z prefer monogamous relationships
This will likely stay around the halfway mark as Gen Z remains in much more of an explorative mode, with the percentage rising as they get older.
36% Are looking for open relationships
This again is reflective of the more explorative nature that the app will be allowing going forward.
Hierarchical polyamory is the most popular type of non monogamous relationship
This may be surprising but adding a structure to this type of open relationship can incorporate new levels of respect and transparency into what might be an otherwise insecure situation.
73% Want someone who is clear about what they want
It looks like NOT adding the preferences mentioned above or being less sure about the outcomes you are looking for is likely to make you less desirable to other swipers.
What do singles want most?
From this we can glean that an upfront and honest idea of who you are and what you want is a great way to open new doors to potential relationships.
More and more dating apps will look to expand the options you have and make it easier for you to accurately assess your matches and hopefully match you with someone who is a better fit.
Tinder’s new features
Some of these are still rolling out. The dating app insights were used to create many of these new features.
