ELO is a term used in ranked competitive video games. Part of this authorā€™s sense of humor is that tinder is a ranked game

Elo (and not ELO, itā€™s a personā€™s name) originally comes from chess.

The concept of ā€œranked competitiveā€ systems, in general, evolved over time, but if weā€™re talking about ranked competitive structures in games or sports, we can trace it back to a few key milestones in history:

Ancient and Medieval Competitions: Even in ancient civilizations, competitive games, including some forms of organized sports or games like wrestling, were often ranked in some way, though these rankings were informal.

Modern Sports Rankings: The formal idea of ranking athletes based on performance in a competitive environment began to take shape in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, especially with the establishment of professional leagues. For example:

Tennis established its first official ranking system in the 1910s. Golf created a ranking system (the ā€œOfficial World Golf Rankingā€) in 1986.

All of this was way before chess was invented, around 2014 or so.

Can women message people on Tinder they havenā€™t matched with?

And if this was effective wouldnā€™t it lower all womenā€™s Elo scores? Unless he only ignored one group and catfished everybody else. Sounds like a lot of work.

No, only tinder premium can do so IIRC.

Bumble? From memory women can only message first, men must wait to be messaged before they can.

Itā€™s been a while since I used those platforms so my information could be incorrect.

Bumble is moving away from having women message first as apparently it was too much of a burden for the women on that app (According to https://www.npr.org/2024/05/06/1249296671/bumble-dating-apps-women-opening-moves )

Understandable as I find having to generate an opener hard too. Kinda a shame though as the point was to give them a place to have some more control with the interactions.

As a man who would often get matches but rarely get so much as a ā€œhiā€ to allow the conversation to start (iā€™d say only 1/8 of the matches would say anything in the 24h), I really wonder why. A number of women apparently never read that they were supposed to send a message first when using bumble (I did hear that more than once on the app), but others? Why?

Yeah, the old Bumble model was better (in my opinion as a man). It creates incentive to have an interesting profile with stuff people can comment on. The newer ā€œopening moveā€ thing incentivizes generic responses. Bumble (in my experience) still has women message first far more often than Tinder though. You may just have to wait and not message immediately.

Creating an opening message is only really difficult if someone has a generic boring profile, so if itā€™s an issue for anyone maybe thatā€™s why.

I think this is an unrealized thought experiment by op. I donā€™t believe the Chad he imagines has any relation to the man most woman are looking for.

Op creates profile that makes him look rich and stupid.

Gets targeted by bots using ai generated images of mildly attractive women.

Thinks heā€™s actually attracting human beings.

Anon still has never willingly gotten the attention of a human woman besides his mother
