- Real behavior, not surveys
- Actual swipes, matches, and messages from real users—not self-reported survey data that may be biased or inaccurate.
- Anonymized and ethical
- No personal information, fully consent-based collection. All data is ethically sourced and privacy-compliant.
- Rich data model
- Messaging patterns, match rates, demographics, and more. Everything you need for comprehensive analysis.
- Regularly updated
- Fresh profiles added continuously at an increasing rate. Stay current with the latest dating trends.
