People around the world have different preferences when it comes to dating. Australian men like their partner to respect their love of sports, for example, and Californians love their hiking dates. Tinder, with all its swipe-filled data, is taking note of those differences we all have and sharing them with the world in what it’s calling the Year in Swipe.
The data encompasses profiles from 11 countries: the US, the UK, Australia, Brazil, France, Germany, India, Japan, Korea, Russia, and Spain. From the top song in people’s profile (Drake’s “In My Feelings” was number one no matter the country) to the most used GIFs (“How you doin’?”), it turns out how we Tinder says a lot about our similarities — and our differences.
Even if you’re not a Tinder user, the data gives some interesting insight into how different cultures find love.
