I'm Tinder's most swiped man with 48,000 likes - but I found love offline

Tinder 's 'most swiped right man' has finally 'found love' - after spending nine years on the app - and collecting 48,000 likes. Stefan-Pierre Tomlin, 34, from Greenwich, London, first downloaded the dating app in June 2015 after 'struggling to find love'. But two years later, Stefan, who owns a match-making company, Celebrity Love Coach, 'became an addict' - averaging over three hours a day swiping through potential matches. He eventually earned the title 'Mr Tinder' in 2017, when it was revealed that more users - 14,600 to be exact - had swiped right on him than anyone else. Despite hordes of potential suitors, the male model 'never found love' on any subsequent dates - and said he much prefers to find the one the old-fashioned way, in person. Stefan, who is also a trained pilot, has been open about his previous relationships, which 'have never worked out'. But he now admits he's been 'left love-struck' after a 'mates' night-out in Soho, London, in October 2024, led him to find 'Mrs Right' - finance manager, Vicky Batsford, 43, from Essex, who took his 'breath away'. The meet-cue was 'unexpected', but nine months on, the pair have become official and are 'smitten with each other'. Stefan said: 'I swiped right on her in real life. She stole my attention straight away and everything was easy and natural with her. 'At one point, I was getting 40 matches a day on Tinder and had to mute the app. Since then, online dating has never really worked for me. 'Meeting Vicky, I knew things would be different. She's organised, humble, and saw me beyond the Mr Tinder façade. She's the perfect woman for me and I'm completely off-limits now.' Stefan was on a 'spontaneous night out' with friends when he first bumped into Vicky in October 2024. It came following a nine-year stint on Tinder that saw him gain over 48,000 potential 'suitors to choose from', he claimed. 'She was wearing a fitted black dress and looked super fun,' he said, adding, 'We made eye contact and both smiled while crossing paths. 'I knew I had to talk to her and we exchanged numbers that night. We quickly became friends and things lifted off from there.' Stefan said Vicky had 'no idea' he was 'Mr Tinder' when they first met. It was only later that week, after googling his name, she became aware and was quite 'intimidated'. 'At first, it was a massive eye roll,' Vicky, from Essex, said. She added, 'But I didn't think anything of it at first, as we were just friends.' 'But after a few more drinks over the following weeks, we chatted more and I found him incredibly interesting. He soon swooned me over.' Stefan had used Tinder to go on over 15 dates - four of which resulted in relationships during his nine-year spell. But he 'struggled' to meet 'the one', admitting that amongst his 40 matches per day, less than five per cent would lead to a conversation - which only worsened once he 'shot to fame' in 2017, saying that it led to 'inauthentic interactions'. 'My success with dating apps plummeted after I became Mr Tinder,' he said, adding, 'It's just become a game where people 'swipe on me' just because of who I am. 'So finding love the old-fashioned way was what I heavily relied on and I'm chuffed to say it has worked. 'It was probably in my favour that Vicky perhaps didn't know who I was off the bat.' Although Vicky admitted there were 'clear differences' in who they are, she 'couldn't be happier' to call him her boyfriend. 'We come from very different worlds,' she said, adding, 'I'm way more structured and disciplined - and he's a lot more spontaneous. 'But I think that creates a good balance and a reason why we work so well together. We're super happy.' Earlier this month, Stefan and Vicky became official and they are planning to move in with each other soon. Stefan said 'marriage is definitely in the future' with Vicky - whom he said 'truly feels like the real deal'. Drawing on his experience of the dating world, Stefan also established an online match-making site, Celebrity Love Coach, in 2021 - to help others find their other half - and has since set up 52 couples. 'I found my love and I've always wanted to help others find theirs,' he said. 'The dating world is always changing and it's easy to lose hope. But there is love for anyone who is willing to put themselves outside their comfort zone. 'In the past, I've dated models, nurses - and idiots. However, things are different now with my new partner and we live a stable life. It's something I've never had before. But I'm willing to keep it for as long as I can.' It comes after an influencer revealed a 'hack' she claims will get you 'better matches' on popular dating app, Hinge. Iman, from southern England, has thousands of followers on TikTok, where she often shares snippets from her dating life. She uploaded a clip and claimed she had found a way to ensure that people get the 'best pick of the bunch' on Hinge, which is available in the UK, Canada, India, and Australia. The content creator said the tip meant that the people she is now getting are a 'level up' from the profiles she would usually see. Iman told her followers to go to the settings tab and scroll down until they see the 'delete or pause account' tab. The app will then ask why the user is leaving and give them four options to choose from. These include 'I met someone,' 'I need a break from dating apps,' or 'I'm not happy with my Hinge experience'. Iman says you must choose the one that says 'I am not happy with my Hinge experience' for the hack to work. She then said a pop-up will come up which will say 'How about a fresh start?' The app then goes on to say that it will refresh your feed while keeping existing matches. Iman said to proceed and click 'try it,' and give it a few minutes for your Hinge algorithm to reset itself. 'The type of people you get shown are completely different and in my experience, they have been better,' she said. 'You can actually do it more than once, I did it twice in a row and it's like a different Hinge. 'Have I met anyone on there? No. But scrolling on there is more fun.' Some users thanked Iman for her tip, as they reported having better feeds once they followed her instructions. One commented: 'Yeah just did this and I've got loads of new people who actually live near by now and not on the east midlands which was where they were all from previously!'

Tinder's most swiped-right man finally finds love - but not on app

Stefan-Pierre Tomlin, 34, averaged more than three hours a day swiping through potential matches Meet Stefan-Pierre Tomlin, 34, who was dubbed as Tinder's 'most swiped-right man', who has finally "found love" after nine years on the app and receiving a staggering 48,000 likes. However, he reveals his "dream woman was offline the entire time". Stefan first joined the dating app in June 2015, having had difficulty finding love. Fast forward two years, he admits to becoming "became an addict", spending over three hours daily sifting through potential matches. His popularity peaked in 2017 when he earned the title 'Mr Tinder' after an impressive 14,600 users swiped right on his profile - more than any other user. ‌ Despite the sea of potential partners, the male model confesses he "never found love" on any subsequent dates, expressing a preference for meeting 'the one' in person. Stefan, also a trained pilot, has been candid about his past relationships, which "have never worked out". ‌ However, he now confesses to being "left love-struck" following a 'mates' night-out at a Soho bar in October 2024, where he "found Ms Right" in finance manager Vicky Batsford, 43, who took his "breath away". The encounter was "unexpected", but fast forward nine months, the pair are officially an item and are "smitten with each other". Stefan, who runs a match-making company called Celebrity Love Coach based in Greenwich, said: "I swiped right on her in real life. She stole my attention straight away and everything was easy and natural with her." Stefan, once dubbed 'Mr Tinder' for his impressive match rate, has found true love and is officially off the market. He said: "At one point, I was getting 40 matches a day on Tinder and had to mute the app. Since then, online dating has never really worked for me. "Meeting Vicky, I knew things would be different. She's organised, humble, and saw me beyond the Mr Tinder facade. She's the perfect woman for me and I'm completely off-limits now." The couple's romance sparked during a "spontaneous night out" in October 2024, after Stefan's nine-year Tinder saga involving over 48,000 potential matches. Recalling their first encounter, he said: "She was wearing a fitted black dress and looked super fun. We made eye contact and both smiled while crossing paths." ‌ Stefan shared how their relationship blossomed: "I knew I had to talk to her and we exchanged numbers that night. We quickly became friends and things lifted off from there." Initially, Vicky was unaware of Stefan's 'Mr Tinder' reputation until she googled him, which left her feeling "intimidated". Vicky, hailing from Essex, admitted: "At first, it was a massive eye roll," but clarified, "But I didn't think anything of it at first, as we were just friends. "I did ask if he was a s**g, which we laughed about. But after a few more drinks over the following weeks, we chatted more and I found him incredibly interesting. He soon swooned me over." ‌ Over time, their connection deepened: "I did ask if he was a s**g, which we laughed about. But after a few more drinks over the following weeks, we chatted more and I found him incredibly interesting. He soon swooned me over." Stefan had gone on more than 15 dates through Tinder, resulting in four relationships during his nine-year stint. However, he found it challenging to meet 'the one', revealing that out of his 40 daily matches, fewer than five per cent would lead to a conversation. This struggle worsened after he gained fame in 2017, as he encountered "inauthentic interactions". ‌ "My success with dating apps plummeted after I became Mr Tinder," he admitted. "It's just become a game where people 'swipe on me' just because of who I am." Stefan relied on finding love through traditional means and was thrilled to have found success. "So finding love the old-fashioned way was what I heavily relied on and I'm chuffed to say it has worked. It was probably in my favour that Vicky perhaps didn't know who I was off the bat," he said. ‌ Vicky acknowledged the "clear differences" between them but was overjoyed to call him her boyfriend. "We come from very different worlds," she said. "I'm way more structured and disciplined - and he's a lot more spontaneous." Despite their differences, they found a harmonious balance, and their relationship flourished. Earlier this month, Stefan and Vicky made their relationship official, and they plan to move in together soon. Stefan expressed his optimism about their future, saying "marriage is definitely in the future" with Vicky, whom he believes "truly feels like the real deal". ‌ Drawing from his dating experiences, Stefan founded an online matchmaking site, Celebrity Love Coach, in 2021, which has successfully paired 52 couples. "I found my love and I've always wanted to help others find theirs," he said. "The dating world is always changing and it's easy to lose hope. But there is love for anyone who is willing to put themselves outside their comfort zone. In the past, I've dated models, nurses - and idiots. "However, things are different now with my new partner and we live a stable life. It's something I've never had before. But I'm willing to keep it for as long as I can."
