The idea behind the Elo score was that Tinder would rank people by attractiveness. Elo scores are used to rank chess players, too, but in the context of Tinder, the more people that swiped right (or Liked) a person’s profile, the higher their assigned score went up. Their card would then be served to other people with a similar score, thereby keeping the most desirable people interacting with one another.
On Tinder, where profiles are relatively limited in scope, a person’s looks often fuel much of the desire to match, so people speculated that these scores kept hot people talking to one another and left undesirable people to wallow with a low ranking.
How to upgrade your Elo score despite the looks.
- Put high-quality photos.
- Do not use a group photo, selfie, sunglass or hat-wearing photo, black and white photo, a photo that your face is not visible as the first photo.
- Do not right swipe every girl/guy you see. (be a picker)
- Use a short and simple bio.
- Use the app often.
- Message the people you matched with.
