Study reveals which clubs have the ugliest fans on Tinder

A recent study reveals the ugliest fans of Premier League clubs on Tinder, causing plenty of controversy on social media.

It has attempted to find which Premier League teams have the most positive… or negative impacts on their supporters’ love lives, making for some unusual reading.

Based on the number of Tinder users that decide to show who they support on the much loved app – whether through a picture at the stadium or in their beloved shirt – compare.bet wanted to discover which teams were more likely to earn them a right swipe.

Quite surprisingly, to do this, they have created 20 profiles on the app, each with exactly the same details, photos, name age and hobbies. The only difference is the team they supported and the shirt they were wearing.

After swiping right on 250 profiles, it was then observed how many had the favour returned and in turn, which team was most ‘attractive’ to other users.

The results appeared to show that success of a team has a direct impact on how well perceived the supporters are. Got to laugh really.

Arsenal fans were deemed the most ‘desirable’ receiving 238 of the 250 swipes from Tinder users, and then following them up was Liverpool (233), third most successful swipes were for Manchester United fans (226) and fourth was Manchester City (220).

However, for the likes of Southampton, Aston Villa and Newcastle supporters, it was a vastly different story with many turning down profiles who had a mention or photo resembling the club.

The Saints had only 161 swipes which is 77 less than Arsenal, whilst Villa wasn’t much better, having 163 of their 250. Newcastle fans aren’t likely to shout about their team too much and in this instance, that’s a benefit, earning just 165 right swipes.

Conclusion, if your team are at the right end of the table, screaming and shouting will do your dating life no harm.

Another Tinder related story that got us laughing recently saw a fan discover that her club made a new signing after the player leaked the news via the dating app, yet it hadn’t got officially announced at the time.

Usually, we have to go through a club source to find out about transfers, often via their official Twitter or Facebook account.

However one fan of League of Ireland side Dundalk was left surprised and rather baffled at seeing her club had recruited a new player, midfielder Jesus Perez, known as Chino, during the window – after seeing his profile on dating app Tinder.

The club hadn’t officially announced this, but a female fan has found him on Tinder with ‘Footballer for Dundalk FC’ in his bio, raising questions.

Writing on Twitter, Gary O Nuallain said: “A new Dundalk signing leaked because a female fan came across him on Tinder before the club announced it.

“I don’t care what any of you say, the League of Ireland is the greatest sporting competition on earth.”

Perez’s Tinder profile reads: “First time in Europe, footballer for Dundalk FC. Ask for my Snapchat or Instagram” and is accompanied by a picture of him in action for his former club UIC Flames.

The 22-year-old was twice named player of the year in the US Horizon League and was also in the league’s all-star team. He was top of the assists table and received All-American honours for his performances.

One user also found a Facebook post from his Mum, named Veronica, that reads: “Bittersweet moment as we gather this morning to wish my son the best of luck as he heads off to Ireland today to try out for Dundalk FC soccer team! Family support is the best! Enjoy the ride my boy!!”

The Daily Mail claim that he had been on trial with the club, then made out he signed on a permanent deal before his club have had a chance to make the announcement.

There has since been no official confirmation from Dundalk about the arrival of the American player, and instead resumed his playing career in America.

He was selected by New York City, part of the City Football Group, with Premier League outfit Manchester City being their flagship club for the 2020 MLS SuperDraft.

An NYCFC spokesperson confirming Perez was in Ireland, but that the 22-year-old had not signed with Dundalk and would be joining the team for the start of pre-season. Perez then appeared to back that up on Twitter.

The club joked via social media after his draft pick: “No Netflix and chill then so?”
