A man claims that he got 111 matches after swiping on a dating app for just 10 minutes at Bengaluru airport.
Ankit shared a screenshot of his dating app matches on social media platform X, grabbing the attention of other users. While many were secptical others wanted to know his trick.
Ankit shared a screenshot of the "chats" section with "your matches" from an app which resembles Tinder or Bumble, with the number of matches showing 111. He used emojis to cover the profile pictures of the women he matched with and captioned the post “10 minutes of bored swiping at Bangalore airport is all you need."
The post quickly went viral and garnered over 2 lakh views in just a day.
One user wrote, “I gotta see your profile."
Ankit, replying to the comment said, “At a certain point in my life I made 8L selling mentorship for Bumble. The bottom line is- it's not about how you look but what you look like. I am 5'9" and probably not very handsome.”
Another user wrote, “My brain can never fathom a man getting so many likes tbvh.”
“111 matches! Is that even possible?" another comment read. One of the users questioned if all the matches were women, “I’d like to see if that’s all women. Pretty easy to ramp up elo numbers by turning preferences to everyone and swiping them to match and show this number. Not attacking you, brother."
"99.99% would be scammers with fake accounts. Looks like scammers know his bank balance," quipped a user.
Another users comment read, “My mind was blown when I first saw. But then makes sense, there are certain traits that stand out. Ones who possess those get higher attention."
Following the the large number of reactions he received, Ankit in a follow-up post shared his dating app strategy.
He said getting over 100 matches per hour is “pretty reasonable,” and some of his students get 6 to 7 times the number.
He said anyone can get more matches on dating apps while stating he has set his preference to women over the age of 21.
“Don't swipe. Buy premium. Swipe only on people who swipe on you. This keeps your likelihood to match (elo) as 100 per cent,” he said.
Include picture of animals Ankit advised, “Dogs are out of fashion. I do equestrian so that helps,” he wrote.
He advised paying careful attention to pictures, avoiding dark pics. He said, “In general getting clicked where everyone is getting clicked is a bad idea. Cultural context and sustainable sources of attention are more suitable. If you're in Bangalore, pictures from Europe work. If you're in Europe pictures from Bangalore work."
