This article claims that only 5% of hinge users find a long-term partner on the app:
> The stats are bleak. Industry-wide, only about 10% of users find a long-term partner. Hinge? Roughly 5%.
However, this is not what their linked source says:
> Tinder is also the most successful matchmaker, with 29.6% of respondents engaged or married to a partner from the app. Bumble and Hinge trail behind at 12.9% and 5%, respectively.
5% of survey respondents were engaged or married to someone from hinge. This reflects the relative popularity of the different apps, not your odds of finding love on them.

- dang 2y agoNot here, please.
- kragen 2y agoI tried to clarify in a sibling comment, because it seemed like maybe people misinterpreted this comment, possibly because they don't speak Hindi. Does that one help, or am I just digging myself deeper? If you think that other comment is also bad, I promise not to be upset if you [dead] it.
- dang 2y agoAh ok - not knowing that word, I pattern-matched it to, er, one I do know.
- kragen 2y agoThis is a persistent problem for people named Diksha or Dikshit (roughly "doctor of divinity", one who has received diksha) and probably one my original comment made worse rather than better. I hoped everyone who didn't know the word would look it up, but that was impossibly naive.
- dredmorbius 2y agoCould we un-flag the original comment?
- dang 2y agoThe problem is that readers are likely to interpret it the way I did and then wonder why it wasn't flagged.
- dredmorbius 2y agoFair enough.
- kragen 2y agoYeah, dang is right, as evidenced by it having been downvoted to -4.
- kragen 2y agoThe author's name, "Diksha", means initiation into a system of knowledge or insight. Your comment shows, ironically, that you have a crucial insight that the author lacks; the real diksha here is conveyed by reading your comment.
