THE CUT – Asking a dating exec how their matchmaking algorithm works is like asking Coca-Cola for its top-secret formula. Tinder says that it looks at things like app usage, profile details, and swipe history to find matches. Bumble also says it looks at swipe history, while Hinge didn't say much, except that its "proprietary algorithm" was based on work done by two Nobel Prize–winning mathematicians. In episode three of Land of the Giants: Dating Games, we dive into just how these algorithms work and speak with daters who are trying to hack the code that controls their love lives. Listen to the latest episode of Land of the Giants: Dating Games, a co-production between the Cut, The Verge, and the Vox Media Podcast Network.
