In a system as shallow as Tinder it's often hard to find reasons to swipe left. You're allowed a handful of pictures and a few words about yourself. Everyone puts their best foot forward, selecting their most attractive pictures and saying little of substance about themselves in the tagline. Unless someone's appearance is unattractive to you don't really know enough about them to make a judgement either way. It seems that men err on the side of approval, while women err on the side of disapproval.

To be honest, I don't think there are any men who are regular users of Tinder who swipe right less than 80% of the time.

I don't think I've swiped right even 20% of the time. Wonder if you can extract the stats from the iOS backup files...
