Lots of modern web users claim that swiping doesn’t work anymore. Now you lose too much time when swiping the profiles of other daters. Even when you face a match, you never know if you need this person to be in your life. Talking about hookups, they are still easy-to-get. However, if you are looking for a long-term relationship and hope to find it with a dating up… Well, may the force be with you!

Here is what Scott Harvey, the Global Dating Insights editor, says: “Swiping is definitely good for matching but a lot of low quality interaction can follow on from that.” And he’s god damn right! You know it’s easy to click on an image. Some users even do it automatically. Needless to say,  it is much more easier than writing the first message or perform any other actions to start chatting. Finally, Statistics!

Still Can’t Get Why Swiping Sucks?

"Say it takes 10 swipes for a match, 2 matches for an opening line, 3 opening lines for a response, 5 responses for a flowing conversation, 5 flowing conversations for a date, and 5 dates for a second date," says Harvey. "That’s a user browsing 7,500 profiles before connecting with someone 'meaningfully.'"
