I love you on Tinder. On hinge, not so much.

Ever wondered which version of you would get the most swipes?

En Browsing through the Hinge dating app recently, Morgan Portee met a man she thinks might be worth her time. His profile was interesting, he seemed quite a gentleman and he was a bit older than her - just what she was looking for.

"He talked about 'have a date on a golf course or whatever, and I was like, Oh, that would be really nice,' said Ms. Portee, 23, an assistant manager of a clothing store in Charlotte, in North Carolina, during a telephone interview.

They continued to chat before she realized that they had also met on Tinder , the dating app she checks the most. After a quick inspection of her profile, she noticed a change. Her Tinder bio included something like "don't waste my time, I hate that my time is wasted" and he was "much more aggressive", she recalls. Yet they exchanged numbers.

"When we started sending Texting from Tinder, that's when he started talking about issues and stuff," Ms Portee said. "But on Hinge, there was never anything sexual in the conversation. He was very nice and normal on Hinge."

Like non-dairy milk and streaming services, the variety of dating apps has never been greater.

Vinylly matches potential matches based on users' musical tastes. Stir lets single parents connect. The Right Stuff gives people with conservative politics a place to mingle. And apps like Taimi and HER focus on queer, lesbian, bisexual, non-binary, trans, and gender non-conforming people.

With dozens of apps from Dating available to suit virtually every preference, each with their own unofficial standards and expectations, it's no surprise that users vary their personalities from platform to platform. While an app like Hinge incentivizes leading with details that suggest you're serious about finding a relationship, an app like Feeld rewards those who put the most evil foot forward. Users adapt accordingly.

Ms. Portee currently has a "full folder" of dating apps on her phone, including Hinge, Tinder, Coffee Meets Bagel, BLK (for black singles), Bumble, and Chispa, a dating app for Latinos.

Note, Ms. Portee is black but not Latino. "I got there because of my friend," she said. "I actually have a BA in Spanish Studies." Currently looking for a relationship, Ms Portee is casting a wide net.

And though she is sometimes shunned by the Jekyll and Hyde types of the dating world and quickly incomparable, her own dating profiles vary slightly too. Her profile on Tinder, for example, includes photos of her in bars, drinking and partying. On Hinge, these are photos of her at the brunch, usually in a cute "dressy" outfit.

"Although I also do code-switching, I'm still the same person," Ms. Portee said. "You get the same attitude whether or not you see me a little more fun and free, or whether you see me a little more classy and mature."

"This are two sides of the same coin," she added.

Where a potential love partner discovers you first can impact the probability of a match. David Coursey, a 29-year-old editor at an advertising agency in Baltimore, said he almost missed a connection with a woman he was first matched with on Tinder - until she finds him more attractive on Hinge.

"I very recently went on a date with someone I had matched with on Tinder and we may -be messaged once and we never hung around," he said in a phone interview. "I matched with her on Bumble and she let me read, then I matched with her on Hinge and...
