Tinder Australia Releases Bloke’s Guide To Astrology & Dating

Some men may struggle to keep up with discussions of astrology and its importance in the world of dating. Tinder Australia is coming to their aid with their new ‘Bloke’s Guide To Astrology x Dating’.

Created in partnership with astrologer and author Matt Galea, Tinder is sharing a 101 guide for understanding astrology. Studies have found that 42% of Australians believe star sign compatibility is important, with 30% of Gen Z admitting to looking at a match’s star sign before a date.

The guide covers topics such as:

  • “How to better understand your zodiac sign”
  • “How to schmooze different star signs”
  • “What makes different star signs tick and ick”
  • “How colourful rocks, aka crystals, will ground you”

“We know how important good profiles are, and adding interests and lifestyle choices are key. Our Bloke’s Guide to Astrology x Dating encourages guys to embrace astrology without fear and to give their profiles a zodiac update”, says Kirsty Dunn, Director of Communications for Tinder in Australia.

“It’ll help know the best opening line to use on a passionate Scorpio, how to respond when their match says they’re ‘Mars Ascendant’, or get the same fluttery feeling when they realise that their match is a Pisces and highly compatible. Zodiac is already a top 5 interest amongst both Aussie women and men, so using the stars could be the perfect conversation starter and a definite profile enhancer”, Dunn adds.

Research from Tinder found that those with the star signs Virgo, Gemini, and Libra receive the most likes on the dating app. Capricorns were found to be most likely to be looking for long-term relationships, and also to text the most.

“Knowing even a little about astrology can make a massive difference in a dating setting. We’ve all been there, so to be able to share my passion and help blokes have these conversations on and off Tinder is really exciting”, highlights Matt Galea.

“It’s not just what’s going on cosmically – it’s about understanding what people of different signs tend to want, how to respond to that, and being able to forge more meaningful connections with your date, whatever their sign is”, he explains.

The ‘Bloke’s Guide To Astrology x Dating’ will soon be added to Australia’s edition of the School of Swipe, an online resource that provides vital information for daters.
