Most Tinder users are already in a relationship, new survey finds

Absolute garbage of a study - participants had no option to select that they were single?! Of course people will say they’re in a relationship if there is literally no other option!

In an email statement on Monday, a spokesperson for Tinder said the company disputes the study.

“Based on Tinder’s data, the figures highlighted in this study are highly misleading and do not accurately represent our members,” the spokesperson wrote. “Study participants were only given three options to describe themselves — ‘celibate’, ‘in a relationship’ or ‘widowed’ — with no option for ‘single.’ This likely resulted in a completely skewed depiction of who Tinder members are and what they seek.”

Just don’t write the article lol. Just put the draft in the trash and move on. I hate rating-based media

Maybe it was a language issue? In some languages, like French, they use a word similar to celibate to refer to single people. In French: célibataire.

‘celibate’, ‘in a relationship’ or ‘widowed’
