How Politics Affects Your Tinder Dates (Trump vs Kamala Experiment)

We wanted to find out how does your political affiliation affect how many matches you get on dating apps. Simply put, would a Trump or Kamala supporter get more matches? We created an experiment to find out and the results might not be what you expect

The methodology

First, we wanted to find a city that has a somewhat similar amount of liberal to conservatives. This was more difficult then we expected, but we finally settled on Houston, TX. It still has a mild liberal bend, but its not too different.

Then, I created a brand new tinder profile. It was mostly similar to the profile i have successfully been using for years, with two important differences. First is, i photoshopped a “Trump 2024” logo on my t-shirt in the main photo. The second difference was I put “Trump 2024” at the top of my bio. I paid for bumble premium, set this profile in Houston and  let it run for 72 hours.

Afterwards, I waited a week and created a brand new bumble account. It was identical to the first one with two differences, that im sure you can guess. I photoshopped Kamala 2024 on my T-shirt in the main photo and i put it in my bio. I also let it run for 72 hours and then evaluated the results

The Trump Profile

After 72 hours, this profile got 88 likes. That is about 30 likes a day. Out of these, maybe 25% or so would be considered hot, so i swiped right on them.

I decided to really play into this and pretended to be a massive Trump simp to see how the girls would respond. There was a lot of hilarious conversations, here is one of them:

As you can see, you can be the biggest trump fanboy ever and still get dates, if you have decent text game. Overall, i was able to get several phone numbers, despite the high level of trolling

The Kamala Profile

Note: The only thing that changed here was the first photo and the bio.

After 72 hours, this profile got around a 160 likes. That is about 50+ likes a day. Out of these, maybe 20-23% would be considered hot, so i swiped right on them.

I once again really played into the kamala fanboy thing. I wanted to come off as a massive liberal soyboy to see if i can still get dates. And the answer was still yes. Here is an example of one of the convos

The Results 

The Kamala profile got about double the matches of the Trump one. This intuitively makes sense since women tend to lean left. However, the big takeaway is that both profiles did very well and got a shitload of matches. So it doesn’t matter what your political affiliation is, if you have good photos and solid text game you will get results!

That being said, the best strategy is not to mention politics to begin with. There is absolutely zero benefit to putting it in your profile. If you already had the date that went well, the girl is significantly more likely to accept whatever your politics are. And if all else fails, just say you’re libertarian. No one really understands what that is, but it sounds cool
