1. Most women find it safer<\/h3>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Instagram is a relatively safe platform for women, or that\u2019s what most women feel. First, exchanging Instagram handles is always a better option than exchanging phone numbers to interact with a potential partner whom you don\u2019t know that well. Second, adding strangers on Instagram for a better follower count, and then getting to know them, definitely sounds safer than meeting strangers from dating apps. After all, most guys on dating apps creep women out<\/a>.<\/p>\n

2. It offers a perfect blend<\/h3>\n

Instagram also scores over online dating platforms in terms of its variety. So, while Tinder or any other dating app would highlight \u2018dating\u2019 or \u2018relationships,\u2019 Instagram offers a vast canvas. While you can showcase your life, hobbies, and friends, you can also offer a glimpse of your entire personality. So, go ahead and put it all on display for people to take a pick: creativity, work skills, travel goals, and so on and so forth.<\/p>\n

6. You get to know so much more<\/h3>\n

A dating app doesn\u2019t tell you if your boyfriend\u2019s mom loves Chinese food or if your boyfriend\u2019s sister just graduated high school. Who\u2019s he been traveling with last week? Who are his best friends? Instagram tells you a lot about a boy<\/a> or a girl and is perfect for some pre-date stalking to go beyond his hobbies or work life.

<\/span><\/p>\n

Finally, you can now even add your Instagram profile to your Tinder profile. So, that perhaps shows the reach that Instagram offers. Adding a genuine Instagram account also makes your dating app profile more authentic.<\/p>\n

8. It has a more balanced gender ratio<\/h3>\n

According to a 2023 research study<\/a>, over 75% of all Tinder users are men. Instagram, however, is a more balanced platform, as far as gender goes, and only about half its user base is male<\/a>. This makes it a better and healthier place to date! After all, no woman wants to be hounded by hundreds of men. Likewise, \u2018more women\u2019 translates to a better chance of scoring a date for a man! Women also tend to be more comfortable with \u2018liking\u2019 on Instagram than \u2018swiping\u2019 on Tinder, since they aren\u2019t actively \u2018looking for a date\u2019 and thus receive less aggressive male attention. After all, who doesn\u2019t want a few \u2018likes\u2019 on a pretty picture, without an obvious hint of \u2018Your place or mine\u2019?<\/p>\n
