Claim
Women on Tinder swipe right 8% of the time
Correction
Multiple reports citing Tinder/NYT data put women’s right-swipe rate around 14%, not 8%.
Full reasoning
The post asserts a specific numerical statistic about Tinder behavior: that women swipe right 8% of the time.
However, widely cited reporting (based on Tinder/NYT-sourced figures) consistently gives a substantially higher figure: women swipe right about 14% of the time (while men swipe right about 46%).
- TIME (summarizing NYT-reported Tinder data) states: “Men do it 46% of the time, while women do it just 14% of the time.”
- Mic repeats the same NYT/Tinder-cited breakdown: women “like” 14% vs men 46%.
Given these sources, the post’s “8%” figure conflicts with the commonly reported Tinder/NYT statistic (14%).
