6. I get predominantly instant matches, and almost never passive ones. Why?
"Instant matches" is my chosen term for the matches you get directly by liking a profile, because they already liked you. "Passive matches" is what I call the matches you get via notification a while after swiping right, i.e. when they got an instant match with you.
This is normal if you live in a somewhat densely populated area with lots of active Tinder users, and your internal score lends your profile decent visibility.
Think of it like this: Assuming you're a free user and maintain a 50% right swipe ratio, you get to see about 200 profiles a day and like about 100 of them. In the same time, your profile is shown to thousands of people to swipe on. The ones who see your profile before you see theirs and swipe right on you, are placed near the top of your queue the next time you open Tinder. If you like them back, you get an instant match.
So in this scenario, it is just way more likely for a certain amount of people to see your profile and swipe right, than it is for you to find that group of people first. Ergo, you get lots more instant matches than passive ones.
This is especially true if your account is still fresh, or you started swiping in a new location, because that means your account is being boosted by Tinder for a couple of days, showing your profile to many more people than later on
