    For the first time, Tinder has released what it calls the “Year in Swipe”, which is a look at the 2018 trends that it has gleaned from its users around the world.

    Thankfully, it doesn’t include where in the house you Tinder from, because I’m pretty sure sitting on the toilet would rank pretty highly.

    Given that Tinder has now hooked up more than 20 billion matches, the data is pretty thorough, so maybe you should listen up and you might find out how to stand out from the crowd.

    Via Business Insider, here are a few of the stand-out trends, although this is largely based on American users:

    Women’s top picks were people with the tag “engineer,” while men preferred people with the tag “adventurer”

    In 2018, Tinder released its Top Picks feature, which allows premium users the ability to sort potential matches using tags, according to Tech Crunch. For its Year in Swipe, Tinder analyzed [sic] the data and found women were most likely to use the tag “engineer” to find potential mates, while men most often sorted using the “adventurer” tag.

    The second top tag preference for women was a three-way tie, with the tags “athlete,” “model,” and “lifesaver.” For men, “lifesaver,” “model,” and “doctor” followed after the top “adventurer” tag, respectively.

    So after “engineer” the order went “athlete”, “model” and “lifesaver”? But sure, tell your friends how you’re after a guy with brains, because you’re a “sapiosexual” or some shite.

    “Fun” was the most used term in Tinder users’ bios

    In addition to analyzing what users were looking for in a match, Tinder also delved into the ways users portrayed themselves in their own dating profiles. They found that the word “fun” appeared most in people’s bios, with the words “travel,” “food,” “drink,” “adventure,” and “sarcasm” trailing closely behind.

    According to [Dr. Darcy Sterling, Tinder’s dating and relationship trend expert], this finding suggests a shift in dating culture.

    “Young millennials are enjoying the adventures in dating and are not settling down just to settle down, but rather, they’re learning about themselves and what they want,” she told INSIDER, adding that the word “fun” portrays that sense of independence and adventure when used in a person’s profile.

    Glad to see “wanderlust” isn’t there. Well done, world.

    The most popular swipe time is 9PM on Monday

    When it came to putting their profiles to work, Tinder users were most likely to use the app at 9 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on Mondays. Sterling said she was not at all surprised by this finding, since “using Tinder takes people away from focusing on what they don’t want and it helps them focus on what they do want.”

    August was the top month for Tinder usage, the data also showed.

    Nothing quite like a Monday Tinder procrastination sesh.
