Ella,* a Los Angeles resident, said she’s had nothing but frustration with “moderates” on the apps. As she told HuffPost, Ella noticed that her “large number of matches” with guys listed as “moderate” on their Hinge dating profiles has grown significantly in recent months. But she now swipes left on all “moderates”: This is because more than once, after “days and days of texting,” it turns out that these guys are “really far-right, anti-feminist, etc,” she said.
Ella’s theory is that conservative men might need to lie about their political views – or else they won’t get any dates in a liberal city like LA.
Amanda*, creator of the “Dating Is Dead” Instagram account, recently ended a two-year relationship with a man who also listed “moderate” on his profile.
“I think that he was conservative more than moderate,” she said. “I feel like I was catfished in that sense.”
