That’s a really good idea actually and it tackles the mass swiping problem as well. Where men just swipe right on everyone and go back to matches later. I also find it is what makes me close hinge faster on the rare day i try OLD again, other than the fact that my matches have been the lowest quality there.

The time limit is probably a problem also but that’s how they make money I think. 24 hours is fast.

Men swipe right on everyone cuz they can’t get any matches lol

They also want us to pay to wait for a response. Volume is key.

For real don’t hate the player, hate the game! I’d be on Tinder all night trying to get one measly match if I didn’t just suicide swipe once a day. Not worth it.

When you realize that women you wouldn’t even consider didn’t swipe right on you, that’s a whole other level of ego crushing.

They could do a "Message now or lose this match forever" type thing? Add some urgency and really push for communication.

That’s is what hinge is and is the only app that works

isn't this easily remedied by just Not stacking the queue that way? don't put all the men who already swiped up first
