“Swipe right” means to like or accept someone, while “swipe left” means to reject them. The meaning of these two phrases is taken from one of Tinders core mechanics. When a person sees a profile on their Tinder feed, they can either swipe right to show their interest or swipe left if theyre uninterested.

Is it bad to always swipe right?

Blindly swiping right makes us more prone to what psychologists have called the bias of reciprocal liking. Basically, this means that we are more inclined to like someone if we already know that they like us. Although seemingly nonproblematic, this bias can actually prevent us from finding a good match.
