If you’ve scored a casual hookup on Tinder, new research might have you rethinking your dating strategy. A recent study suggests that finding a sexual partner on the app could point to either psychopathic tendencies or notably low standards — harsh, but that’s the data talking.
The numbers reveal a stark gender divide: 66% of those finding sexual partners on Tinder are men. Among them, guys exhibiting traits like narcissism, psychopathy, or hypersexuality seem to have the most luck with one-night stands. On the flip side, women who succeed in this arena are more likely to have lowered their expectations, settling for less than their ideal match.
Experts add another layer, arguing that the desire for no-strings-attached sex itself can be a red flag for psychopathic behavior. The combination of impulsivity and a lack of emotional attachment aligns with traits often linked to this personality type.

So, while Tinder might still be a playground for some, the stats paint a picture of a user base driven by unconventional motives. Here’s hoping you’ve moved on from swiping for love — or anything else — on the app.
