While the “face with tears of joy” tops the list, it’s closely followed by the “person shrugging their shoulders” emoji.
“With authenticity at the heart of dating in 2023, singles maintain a take-it-or-leave-it attitude, meaning being true to themselves comes first in any situation,” Tinder explains.
“If it doesn’t work, daters will just shrug it off and move on.”
An old-fashioned “winking face” comes in as the third most popular emoji in Tinder bios, while the “ghost” emoji is the fourth most popular.
The ‘ghost’ emoji floating in many a Tinder biography indicates that they expect the same from their potential matches. No ghosts please,” Tinder said.
Finally, the “eyes” emoji rounds out the top five and seems popular among bachelors who are feeling extra flirty.
The news from Tinder comes shortly after experts at music Magpie unveiled Britain’s top 10 emoji icks.
