With 323 million people on dating apps like Hinge across the globe, it can be pretty impossible to find what—or indeed who—you’re looking for.
Among the criteria for many will be personality, alignment on religious, political and social views and, increasingly, whether or not their match is on the same page financially.
Users now adding their credit scores to their profiles are reporting a windfall of interest, with many women reporting an increased number of matches and better outcomes on dates.
Leah Nicewander—whose video went viral in February after sharing her experience of the trend on TikTok—revealed she got 17 dates in 30 days after adding her ‘exceptional’ score of 811 to her profile.

That was in February and since then the credit score ‘prompt’ has been Hoenig’s most successful conversation starter. In fact she’s had 224 matches off the back of her credit score screenshot.
When she’s later met up on dates with the matches, they frequently ask how Hoenig got such a good credit score and how they can improve their own.
“I think guys have this idea that women are bad with money and use their credit cards all the time and don’t care, but that’s not true,” said Hoenig. “It’s funny and original to post your credit score, but I think a lot of guys find that…
