Tips for dating platforms like Tinder

 

In the pandemic, digital offerings are important for many people looking for a partner. That's how it works with the match.

July 6 is the International Day of kisses. But what to do if you don't have a partner to whom you can show your love in this way? Well, why not go to dating apps like Tinder and Bumble or to a dating agency like Parship or ElitePartner? Especially in the corona pandemic, such offers are important for many singles, as it is not always easy to meet new people in traditional ways.

This is also shown by a survey commissioned by ElitePartner, in which more than 7,200 German non-members were surveyed at the end of 2020. Couples who have been together for about three to five years have met 35.5 percent via the Internet. For couples who have been together for about three months to a year, the rate is 43.1 percent. The circle of friends or acquaintances is in second place with 28.1 percent (three to five years) and 30.6 percent (three months to one year). Discotheques, work, holidays or sports were mentioned much less often.

The first eye-catcher

Especially important are the photos that people sharing in search of a partner in order to give the other person an impression of themselves. Of course, users should be easily recognizable on the pictures, but they must also be something special. A pretty smile can enchant, but it threatens to go down. Especially the profile picture or the picture that the other person sees first should therefore stand out.

On other photos, seekers can show themselves with a cherished hobby or on an adventure. However, it is important to make sure that these are not just group photos - after all, the other person wants to know with whom they are in contact. If you are more looking for quick acquaintances, you can increasingly rely on photos in which he or she presents himself or herself sexy. If, on the other hand, you are looking for a solid relationship, you should not overdo it, because it could create a false impression.

And humor is also important, very important indeed. According to a survey by Parship from February - among more than 10,100 participants aged 18 and over in Germany - it is important to 97 percent that they can laugh together with a possible partner. 93 percent of women and 86 percent of men said that a partner should be able to make them laugh.

Information wanted

Proving his sense of humour in the photos can therefore be promising. But what kind of humor is required? According to the survey, 30 percent of women and 23 percent of men like word jokes, 27 percent of men and 17 percent of women prefer sarcasm and 21 percent of girls and 19 percent of boys rely on dry humor. Dirty jokes, on the other hand, are only well received by five percent of men and just one percent of women.

The profile text is exactly the right place to show your humor, to point out interests or what you are looking for - to save yourself and the other person time. Is only a vegetarian or vegan eligible as a partner? Are smokers absolutely excluded? And are one-night stands unthinkable? For example, if you are only looking for a fixed relationship, you should also make this clear directly. But don't overdo it: Once you write a long list, you could scare off potential partners from the outset.

A meaningful profile or extraordinary photos also help to make it easier to start a conversation, as you can chat about common interests, for example. In addition, clumsy appeals should be avoided in the vast majority of cases. The other person has certainly read or heard this or a similar saying several times and the whole thing does not exactly testify to creativity. If you can't think of anything to start the dialogue, a meme can also be used to break the ice.

Beware of stalkers

Kaspersky, a manufacturer of security software (including a well-known antivirus), has just released an investigation showing that many dating apps have become more secure on a technical level than they were just a few years ago. However, this does not automatically protect users from stalkers or other dangers.

"The use of dating apps can endanger your own privacy if you log in to existing social media accounts or link them to them," explains Tatyana Shishkova, security expert at Kaspersky, at the request of the news agency spot on news. "Through this link, a lot of data, including photos, from the social networks automatically flows into the dating app. In addition, information about the place of study or work endangers privacy. This is because it also makes it possible to find the social media accounts of the dating users - and, if necessary, to retrieve further personal data if they are not protected by appropriate data protection settings."

If possible, according to the experts, users should only disclose location data manually, for example. Shishkova continues: "Due to the disclosed data on location and workplace - or even contact information - dating app users make themselves vulnerable to cyberstalking, physical stalking and doxing." Doxing refers to the publication of private data and information, often to harm a victim, for example to expose him. "However, users can take control of their privacy in these apps by being aware of what they are sharing," explains the expert.
