The Tokyo Olympics are currently in full swing and for every viewer tuning in to watch the world's most incredible athletes compete, there's a few people looking for a new date.
Hopeful singles are changing the location of their Tinder profiles to the Olympic Village in Tokyo, Japan, in a bid to bag a date with athletes currently swiping right during their downtime at Olympic games.

For those looking to get the most matches, a new study has found that having a dog in your Tinder profile picture increases the chance of a match by a whopping 72 per cent.

The results have come about as a result of a study by leading raw dog food company ProDog Raw, who compiled data from 2,076 dating app users and their profiles, to discover whether there is a correlation between having a profile picture showing a dog and the number of matches a user gets.
The struggle is real!
