The Tinder has a secret score that tells you how much is desired – CenárioMT

The Tinder is a relatively easy to use application, but there are more things than sliding photos to the right or left according to your interest in the person. Each dating app user has a secret note saying how much you are (or not) you want.

In a long profile on the company behind the social networking application and its CEO, Fast Company magazine He revealed that the Tinder has a “Elo score”, name taken from the chess players rating system. The “Elo score” of the app measures the “desirability”, that is, how much you are desired in the app. According to the report, the score makes the app to show you people with similar numbers. – If you are just seeing ugly people, we have bad news

All kidding aside, the “desirability” has not just about how much you are attractive. The Tinder executives do not reveal everything that influences the score, but ensure that it is not just the number of people your likes profile – information, description, how many matches. The CEO of Tinder, Sean Rad, told the reporter of Fast Company that were two and half months of work to develop the algorithm because of the large number of factors involved.

Still, the number of people enjoying Your profile does have a large weight in the score. Explains Chris Dumler, company data analyst:

“Every time you pass a person to the right and one to the left, you’re basically saying, ‘This person is more desirable than the other.’ . (…) It could be for beauty, or it may be for a very good profile “

The data engineer Tor Solli-Nowlan reinforces that the score does not represent how much you are attractive:

“People are very disparate, even for the photos: some like beard, sometimes not. The same thing goes for tattoos, photos with pets or children, many outdoor pictures, photos with tigers. “

” Okay, how do I find out my score? “You should be asking. You can not. The reporter of Fast Company could see its –946 at the top of average– with direct access to the database, but the Tinder has no plans to make it accessible to users. And do not expect them to change their minds, since all the app was made for that rejection is invisible -. You never know when someone is exempt profile
