Online Dating: Matched With Someone I Didn’t Swipe Right On?

Online Dating: Matched With Someone I Didn't Swipe Right On?

There is no doubt in your mind that you never swiped right on him.

You are adamant about this.

Unequivocal.

You didn’t swipe right on him in any way.

Not accidentally or otherwise.

Yet, you were matched with him.

You know you didn’t swipe right on him, so why were you matched with him?

This is someone that you would never have had an inkling to swipe right on.

Although this shouldn’t be such a big deal, it does irritate you.

You are worried of further instances where you are matched with guys you aren’t remotely interested in and never swiped right on.

So what gives?

There is a likelihood that this was a glitch of some sort by the dating app’s algorithm.

But let’s entertain other reasons.

You swiped right on him and didn’t realize it.

I know, I know.

You have no doubt that you never swiped right on him.

Well, there is a caveat to that.

You might have swiped right on his dating profile, but since you did, his dating profile has been updated.

People update their dating profiles constantly on dating apps, and this is especially true when said person has an active lifestyle.

As he documents his life in his social media, he does the same with the pictures and information he has on his dating profile.

He updates his pictures and information to match where he is in life.

Being a woman, you are inundated with matches on a dating app.

It’s unlikely you messaged him the moment you were matched.

By the time you got around to taking a closer look at his dating profile in your match cue, you realized that his dating profile wasn’t appealing to you.

There are elements to it that don’t mesh with what you are looking for in a partner.

This is when you question why you have this dating profile in your match queue.

To reiterate, people update their dating profiles all the time.

By the time you got around to looking at his dating profile in your match queue, he could have updated multiple areas, including a number of his pictures and facets of information.

Life is constantly moving and there are people on dating apps who keep updating their dating profiles with new pictures and information as life happens.

Besides this, consider the likelihood this is a fake dating profile.

Fake dating profiles have a tendency to change constantly.

When you initially swiped right on it, it was on account of shared interests and activities, as well as your physical attraction towards him.

The dating profile you now see is totally different.

The picture is of someone you don’t recognize and the information is totally different from what you remember.

Unfortunately, scammers on dating apps steal photos of people from all over the internet to use in dating profiles.

This guy isn’t aware that his picture or identity has been stolen.

These are photos he has posted on his social media somewhere in the online hemisphere.

Fake dating profiles change in appearance multiple times a day on some dating apps to avoid detection.

With this in mind, it’s likely you swiped right on a fake dating profile that completely changed soon after you swiped right on it.
