I Coded a Tinder Bot to Automate My Dating Life. Here’s What Happened

How much time do you spend on average on dating apps?

Statistics show that men swipe right 46% of the time, while women swipe right 14% of the time. If you’re a man, probably you’d need to spend a lot of time swiping right and left on the app to get decent results.

So what do we typically do to get many matches? We download the app, swipe right like crazy to everyone for a couple of days, and come back now and then (or never again).

That’s not a good idea because:

1. If you swipe right to everyone, you don’t get good matches
2. The less you use the app, the less Tinder shows your profile to others
3. It’s not the same to swipe right 700 times in one day as 100 times for 7 seven days

That’s why I decided to use Python to create a bot that every morning swipes right hundreds of times mostly on top profiles.

For those who want to learn how to create one from scratch (or don’t believe me I created one), here’s my YouTube tutorial and demo of this bot.
