The secret to discovering love on Tinder? Sharing that you're jabbed
The secret to discovering love on Tinder? Telling people that you’ve had the Covid vaccine, new figures show
- People who reveal their vaccination status more likely to find love, figures show
- Those who say they are jabbed received 30% more matches, Hinge data shows
- Another site found 37% of singles said they viewed vaccination as ‘desirable’
Forget oysters or champagne – when it comes to finding love, a Covid vaccine is apparently the best aphrodisiac.
New figures from dating apps show men and women who reveal they are jabbed are far more likely to meet a potential partner than those who did not share their vaccination status.
Hinge, one of the most popular dating apps, revealed that singletons who said on their profile that they were jabbed received 30 per cent more matches than those who kept such details private.

Similarly Plenty of Fish, which is used by more than four million people, found that 37 per cent of British singles said they viewed vaccination as ‘desirable’ when looking for someone to date.
Data released from Grindr, the world’s largest app for LGBTQ+ people, also revealed that the ‘vaccination badge’ is among the top three most popular that users can pin to their profiles, while OkCupid said one million users have added the ‘I’m Vaccinated’ badge to their profile.
Dating coach Hayley Quinn said: ‘Pictures of you wearing face masks, hats or sunglasses won’t perform as well as images where you’re clearly visible.

‘Likewise, being open about your vaccine status has positive associations, for instance that you’re socially conscious and responsible.’
Ms Quinn added that the average Briton would find it ‘toe-curlingly awkward’ to ask a date whether or not they had been jabbed.
‘It’s one less thing to ask about. People may worry that if you have a difference of opinion about vaccination then you’re unlikely to click in other areas,’ she added.

Some 40 per cent of eligible young people aged 18 to 34 in England have yet to come forward for their booster shot.
