![]() ![]() This was interesting, and very different from what I expected. too many swipes), I miscounted (very possible), or it is normal for all accounts to drop a bit after a couple days. Either Tinder somehow realized this account was a bot, I did something that lowered my ELO (e.g. I was surprised to see the swipe limit drop again after a couple days, especially considering I was getting a lot of matches and conversations. The swipe limit on the first day is very short, probably to push people to come back later. And it is definitely not as much as the super-like flood the Hot Girl has to deal with The amount of superlikes wasn't that different for the Hot Guy than the Average Guy, and would need to be extended on a longer time period to be more significant. 3/ I'm grossly overestimating how many replies I had on my real account. ![]() 2/ A girl who swiped right on an Average Guy is already more invested than a girl who swiped right on a Hot Guy, as she had to think about it beforehand. This can be due to three things: 1/ Again, low effort on first messages from the Hot Guy VS a lot of overthinking and reading bio and sass from the Average Guy. More surprisingly, girls were more likely to reply to an Average Guy than to a Hot Guy. The Hot Guy had surprisingly a lower chance of getting a reply than the Hot Girl had of receiving a first message, which was surprising but can probably be attributed to the lack of effort in those first messages. The Hot Guy is ~15x more likely to match than the Average Guy, but ~11x less likely than the Hot Girl If we compare to the data obtained the previous time, we got the following: Matches % I color-coded every message, to be able to sort different types of conversations I slipped a couple times when bored, or when I saw a too good opportunity to do a direct sexual advance, to see what happened. I mostly stuck to a formula of " you're ".Ĭonversations: Rule was to never pursue conversation after a reply, since my interest was only to see how many replies I would get with a low effort first message. I received one super-like.įirst messages: The rules were to make the lowest effort possible when sending the first message. Unlike my personal Tinder, I totally ignored the bio and swiped only based on pictures.įor super-likes: Like before, I carried a notebook with me, and kept track of the notifications as they popped-up. Mostly on attractive girls, never on prostitutes, never on girls with no picture or confusing picture. Who to swipe on: I swiped the same way I swipe with my personal Tinder. When to swipe: No rule, I did it when I got time. It started at 40/day, and increased from there (full results below). However I noticed pretty early that I wasn't allowed 100 swipes per day at the beginning. What do you think? Impressed by the Hal 9000 prop? Would you like to take a tour of Jackson’s seemingly cavernous prop collection (we sure would)? Let us know in the comments below.Number of swipes: My plan was to use the "100 swipes/day" limit as a standard to measure how many times I was swiping doing (reach the limits 10 times, done). That’s a lot of what makes prop collecting so alluring: marveling at the real ingenuity it takes to make something unreal. Just a light and a lens produces the blinking and flickering red light that was evil consciousness in 2001. It looks instantly evil with only a smartphone flashlight. Now unleashed, Hal springs to life anytime a bright light is shone through the fish-eye Nikon f8 lens. It wasn’t until just last year that Savage came by Jackson’s collection, saw Hal, and actually took the lens cap off. He thought that was simply how the prop worked, and that he was missing a piece or lens. In the video above from, Jackson explains that he has had Hal for a decade, but when it was shipped to him, the lens cap was on and positioned backwards in the metal backing. Jackson’s original Hal 9000 prop from 2001: A Space Odyssey is particularly wonderful, but he would never have seen Hal “come online” again without the help of the former MythBuster. His massive collection contains original props from Ghostbusters to Terminator 2 to Jurassic Park - he likes to surround himself with movie history that inspired him as a child to do what he does today. Filmmaker Peter Jackson, much like master maker Adam Savage, is a movie prop collector extraordinaire.
