It's not the Elo score, Alex misunderstood the issue. What you and I have experienced is a bug (or potentially something more nefarious) where Hinge's sorting algorithm gets reversed and you see the most unattractive users first.

Can you let me know the following?

If you've ever been knowingly banned or shadowbanned on either Tinder or Hinge
If you use shirtless or provocative photos on Hinge
If this persists for you despite creating a new account
If this happens shortly after creating your account, or after swiping for a while
If it gets better after swiping for a while, or after a number of days
If it's gotten better after visiting another city and coming back to your city

Hoping we can pool our knowledge to get more insight into what's going on here.

Thanks.
