Bloody hell, 1 date out of 10,000 swipes. Well, it sounds about right, although you should be getting A LITTLE higher than that.

By the way, it helps if you study each profile, scrolling through each photo and not swiping rapidly. The algorithm rewards it.

Aside from that, no matter your appearance, photos taken with a high quality camera, and perhaps the use of retouching apps like "Faceapp" will boost your matches.

Either way, your match rate will likely still be LOW. Because that's simply how online dating is. Meeting people in reality is a better option for 95% of men.
