Does Hinge rank its users by attractiveness?
Earlier this month, Hinge chief executive Justin McLeod went viral on social media as he challenged the idea that his app ranks people based on attractiveness. You see, a lot of Hinge users were starting to believe that they are ugly.�
I’m convinced I’m ugly because only unattractive guys on hinge like me, one person cried on TikTok.
Another said: Hinge will make u feel like youre a solid 2 cos the compatible recommendations, that look like they snuck onto earth is abysmal.
While speaking with Fortune Magazine, he said: We don’t really have an attractiveness score. For every person we have this sort of individualized taste profile of who you like and who likes you back, he told Forbes.
We look at who you liked and who’s liked you and who you’ve passed on and who’s passed on you and that just gives us a sense generally using machine learning to understand how likely you are to like someone and how likely is someone to like you back.
Still, many social media users felt like he had dodged the question, perhaps hinting that Hinge actually does rank users on hotness.
The whole rose standout concept made it sooooo evident that they have an attractiveness score, whether its called that or not, one person said, as another wrote, I feel gaslit.
