It critiques the use of the ELO score in favor of a simpler like-to-pass ratio. The perceived attractiveness of profiles, particularly how exposure (skin in pictures) influences like ratios for women, is noted. Additionally, the article addresses user engagement, revealing that while matches are frequent, sustained conversations remain a challenge, with distinct behavioral patterns evident between male and female users.
The ELO score is overly complex for dating apps; a simpler like-to-pass ratio effectively ranks users based on how many people like their profiles.

User behavior reflects a shift where matches often don’t convert into prolonged conversations, revealing the challenges of sustaining engagement post-match.
In the heterosexual dating landscape, men have a higher like ratio compared to women, indicating differing dynamics in user attraction and engagement.
