4. The median match rate for women on Tinder is 36%, and for men, 1.8%.

According to Swipestats Tinder match statistics, the median match rate for women on Tinder is 36%, and for men, 1.8%. (5)

Tinder swipe statistics suggest that although women swipe more than men overall, they are also way more selective compared to men.

Median Data	Female	Male
Daily likes	5%	53%
Daily passes	95%	47%
Daily matches	2.75 matches	1.1 matches
Matches from total swipes	1.8%	1%
Matches from right swipes	36%	1.8%

Despite the women’s high selectivity, female users have a significantly higher success rate than men.

The median female user receives about 2.75 Tinder matches per day, while the median male user receives 1.1 matches per day.

This means a woman would need to swipe right 3 people to get a match, while a man would need to swipe right over 50 people for a match.

Meetup	Sexual Encounter	Male	Female
57 matches	285+ matches	1.8% match rate	36% match rate
