If someone outside of your match radius matches with you, you actually still will be shown their card, so, if you really want to game the app, you set your radius to .1 or whatever, and then only match with people outside it, because those are guaranteed matches. By doing this, you make your Like to Match ratio skyrocket, which causes Tinder’s algorithm to put you at the front of the list, and gets you even more matches
Wait, really? But if the ranges dot overlap then there’s no chance of a match, right? Or am I misunderstanding how tinder works?

Oh interesting. I was told by someone once that you want to set your radius smaller which seemed counterintuitive but this explains why.
I paired up before online dating was really a thing but I’m always curious about this strange world I never experienced.
I’ve been in a committed relationship for almost five years now, so all I can do is pass on my knowledge lol
