The Controversial Hinge Dating App Hack Going Viral

> The hack goes like this: First, you delete your profile completely and begin anew at noon on Sunday, using the typical mix of photos that work well: pictures of your face, body, with friends, and while doing activities. Then fork over the $29.99 for a “Superboost,” which ensures your profile will be more likely to show up on people’s feeds for a full 24 hours (Sunday famously being the most active day on dating apps). Don’t interact with the app at all during this time. Then, for the next seven days, reject every person in both your Standouts tab and your regular feed, showing the app that you’re an active user but that “you are not seeing what you want and therefore are desirable, so it pumps your profile out to more people.” And voilà! “I was swimming in men,” says one friend who tried it.
Maybe you went out with friends and were reminded you wanted a partner, or maybe you spent the weekend alone and are thinking about a change.
In the US, Sunday is the first day on the calendar, so it often is considered the planning/prepping day for the week if you're non-religious.
Best $15 ever.
With that being said, I’m thankful if this hack is the start of a wonderful relationship for someone out there :)
