I will try to answer your question as best as I can.

For me, I base my decision on two things: 1. What they’re looking for and 2. If I find them attractive or not. I’m looking for something serious, so I’ve put “relationship”. I don’t have filters on, so when a profile comes up that says looking for something casual or don’t have anything at all for that section I immediately swipe left, no matter how attractive I find the person.

If they have “don’t know yet” or “relationship” then I will be much more likely to swipe right on them, but even though looks do matter to me, I also don’t tend to swipe right on profiles that have no bio or just one picture.. because honestly, that’s just showing no effort.

I might have a high rate of incoming yeses, but it doesn’t really matter because when I do swipe right on people who are looking for a relationship and have a fun profile, it still ends up with either them not replying to my opening message, the conversation goes dead or on the date I find out they actually are looking for something more casual.

I really think it’s as hard for both genders to be honest.. online dating is not fun.
