Free versions, generally all swipes/likes used up to the limit: Me: white, average face, good physique, probably around the 45 percentile for men in SF looks-wise Tinder: 6 matches, average quality 6.25 Hinge: 8 matches, average quality 6.75 Facebook Dating: 18 matches, average quality 6.56 Haven't completed the week with Bumble yet but it's going to be abysmal I can tell. Facebook Dating is lowkey a goldmine here. Mix of low-class women, foreigners/au pairs, and some tech workers and women looking for something serious. But it's a great way to spit game at foreign chicks with less competition.

Do you see them drop after?
My first day 20 matches on Tinder, 18 on Bumble within first 2 days then since then 0. Never even tried Facebook dating ngl.

I am going out on a limb here with my theory, but it seems like the apps use classic drug-dealer psychology to get you to pay for a premium account. I got the same, 20 matches in the first couple of days after starting a new account, then maybe 15 likes in total the next month and the standard of girls dropped quite a lot as well. The apps want new users to have success (first hit for free) at the start so they put you in front of the deck. You feel like a stud getting all these matches. After that brief first period, now you get put way behind in the deck. You're left wanting that early success so you spend more time swiping (watching ads) and then money to get that feeling back. Unless you're like the top 5-10% who gets a lot of likes from girls and then you're kept in rotation to keep the hot guys around for the girls to come back to. It's frustrating when you know you can get matches with decent quality girls but don't get anything. I have friends who use the specific tactic of deleting their account, starting over, getting as many matches as possible early on and then stops swiping and just go off of those matches until they run out. And it works.

Yes they do. Bumble/Tinder have something called a noob boost.
Resetting your account used to work but now Tinder will shadowban you or massively downgrade the quality of your profiles if you don't follow a complicated hard reset procedure.
