It seems that only the Today thread or the Relationship thread can be thriving, never both... So for the last couple of months I've had nothing but pictures of my cat on my Tinder profile, ended up with over 100 matches. While I got a lot more matches it felt a lot harder to actually engage any of them in conversation and meet up with them. It seems to be universally agreed that having a dog or cat in one of your pictures is a huge boost, I just wanted to see what happened if it was ALL cat pictures.
