Recently, many users on this sub have seen a noticeable decline in likes and matches on Hinge, from either profile reviews, or other assorted posts and comments. While it's well acknowledged that men often experience this due to the higher number of male users, some women are now also facing similar challenges.

Perhaps there could be some potential underlying factors and recent changes affecting user engagement. Some hypothesis:

​

• Increased Popularity of Hinge: As Hinge gains popularity while Tinder and Bumble stagnates, the influx of new users might affect likes and matches.
• More People Paying for HingeX: A rise in users opting for premium features like HingeX could be impacting the visibility of non-paying/Hinge users, especially men.
• TikTok Influence: Viral content on platforms like TikTok might be shaping user behavior and expectations on Hinge.
• Algorithm Tweaks: Hinge might be adjusting the algorithm, affecting how profiles are shown.
• User Fatigue: General fatigue with dating apps could lead to lower engagement and fewer interactions.

Some general information regarding your demographic and what you're seeking will be helpful for this discussion.

Although the sample size here may be small and not representative of the entire Hinge user base, it could offer valuable insight into current user experiences on Hinge. Granted, while Hinge does not officially acknowledge this subreddit and run their own internal surveys to gauge user satisfaction, this discussion may still be helpful and maybe someone from Hinge lurking here can find the discourse useful.
