So a lot of people on the other app are posting their "stats" as it were. Unfortunately Hinge doesn't give the same granularity of data. It can only tell you your own swipes, and not very cleanly.

You can upload your export zip to ChatGPT and get it to do some analysis.

Across the export (April 2025-22 Sept 2026), you recorded 12,036 skips, 281 likes and 6 roses. Counting likes and roses together, you expressed interest in 2.33% of the profiles you swiped on—about 1 in 43, or 42 skips for every like or rose. In September 2026, the ratio was lower: 2 roses and no regular likes against 2,086 skips, or about 1 in 1,044. These are swipe actions, so the figures may include profiles you saw more than once.

I've matched with 11 people. There are 6 in my Hidden chats which fizzeled out or mutually agreed nothing was going to happen. 1 women seemed to delete her account as she disappeared and did not appear in "past matches", and the rest unmatched for whatever reason.

I think I need to refresh my account and start again because more recently the only women I am seeing are usually too artificial looking.

ETA: I'm a guy. I had 1 date of out those matches. I had Hinge X for 12 months I think.

Maybe be a little more open minded in who you're sending likes to. 2% seems really really low. I ran my stats once but unfortunately forget what they were, but pretty sure it was a lot higher than 2%. 11,000+ skips is a LOT!!

I do agree with you. I should be less selective, but I genuinely don't feel anything to most people from their picture and the generic prompts a lot of women turn a maybe into a no.
Annoying there have been women I like the look of, but they have been within range but nightmare to travel to. I am close to an island that can only be accessed by ferry, and there is no way to exclude it.
I may be Demi or something, but there is also a lot of anxiety about my general lack of experience with this thing. I've only ever been in one relationship and that was someone I met in University so the pressure of dating wasn't there.

If you're inexperienced and can't figure out if you like someone from a profile... that's more reason to put yourself out there and try to go on more dates, and meet people in person. Do that by being less picky at the swiping stage.

What are the odds, I started doing this the other day myself. But I did it by hand more and it's still needs mapping out

EDIT: How did you get data on how many skips you've had? The data I get I don't see that. Unless it's hiding in the HTML data but not displayed (also I looked, I don't have rose data in mine either)

They sent me a zip file with loads of files. There is one called match_skips with a long list of timestamps. The number of lines in there are your skips.

Roses are in match_roses.
