Using Tinder at 4 am? You're using it wrong

There's no denying that dating apps have become very central in modern day romance.

Maybe it's because of our hectic working lives or maybe it's just our fear of actually talking to a human person you're romantically interested in face to face. Either way apps like Tinder are becoming paramount to people finding a match and thus the survival of the human race.

If you've been finding it tricky to find a decent match on these services it may be because you're using them at the wrong time. A new survey has found the optimum time to go on dating apps.

If you go online when most other users are online, then you're increasing the likelihood of you finding a potential match. The survey conducted users of both Tinder and OKCupid.

Apparently for both dating apps, the best time of day to go online is between 8 and 10 pm. Unsurprisingly, 4 am is the worst time to go looking for a match.

The research was carried out by Nielsen and the study was carried out over the period of a single month.
