The reason there are more hot girls on happn now and also on Tinder in the beginning is because that's the secret to making a dating app successful.
Tinder famously hacked this by sponsoring (paying) sororities to make sure every girl in the sorority was forced to create a tinder profile
I don't doubt this was the case, it's smart marketing, but that probably didn't happen in London. And nonetheless from field experience i can categorically state Tinder was in a whole different league (girls met and notched) for the first 6 months it was available in the UK. And none of those hot girls i met off Tinder or off Happn so far have been asked to be on it.
So there is still an effect of the early adopters being on average hotter (and seemingly less difficult) girls on these apps in my opinion.
