Savvy TikTok user Harv, who met her now-hubby on Hinge, explained that it's all to do with the right settings - and as unusual as it may seem, you should up the age range to over 80.

''So, I keep hearing that all the good guys are no longer popping up - so here's the trick.

''What you're gonna do is put the age range from 84 to 85 - yes, you heard me correct.

''The reason for this is because there are barely any profiles in this age range - and if there is, kudos to them,'' she chuckled in .

To ensure your page lands the hottest studs in the neighbourhood, Harv also noted it's essential to make sure the range is ''not a deal-breaker''.

The rest is simple - as Hinge won't be able to provide you with the pool that you requested, the popular dating site ''will show you the next best thing - which is all the hotties [...]. all those profiles you wished you'd be seeing''.

Although in some cases, she said, you might have to swipe left for 19-year-olds and potential Romeos who aren't your cup of tea, this hack ''will get you where you need to go''.

'' Find you ALL the roses and none of the thorns,'' Harv (@) joked in the caption, as hundreds flocked to comments to share their experience with the Hinge hack.

''I don’t gatekeep for the girlies.

''Hinges wants you to pay to match with the cuties. IN THIS ECONOMY?! I think not!

''My friends are mainly on hinge, but honesty worth a shot on the others! I’m sure they do similar algorithms,'' she advised to put the theory to test on Tinder and Bumble.

Numerous singletons and those looking to date had given the trick a go - and the feedback was mixed.

''Okay it works,'' wrote one woman, as almost 300 people gave the comment a like.

Top dating trends of 2025

  1. Swamping: When you find someone you can comfortably share your 'swamp' with and let go of the pressure to be anything but your true authentic self.
  2. No-habiting: When you choose to wait longer to move in with your partner because you value your personal space.
  3. Fiscal Attraction: When you won't settle for less and you're seeking a match who is financially secure and who you find attractive.
  4. Rejuve-dating: When you cast away the blues and grow from past experiences so you can fully embrace the future of your dating journey.
  5. Thrift-matised: When you like to go on dates but hit that sweet spot between being cheap and frugal. Hidden gems, loyalty cards - these are all your type on paper.
  6. Loud-dating: Cutting to the chase, being open and to the point with what you want so you don't waste your time.
  7. Marmalading: When you literally put your other half ‘before anything else’, much like Britain’s most beloved bear’s love for marmalade.
  8. Digital Ex-pression: The stage after a break-up when you are done grieving and turn to social media to share how you are healing to confidently get back out on the dating scene.
  9. Fine-wining: Proactively finding people to date who are older than you and who've aged just like a fine wine.

''You’re a wizard!'' someone else chimed in.

''You’re a genius, it worked,'' a third Hinge user had nothing but positive things to say.

Unfortunately, not everyone found their one and only by upping the age range - and one was even reunited with their former partner on the site.
