In any case, if you’re not getting matches on Tinder, it’s not even about you. It’s more likely to be related to your profile. Not everyone is comfortable selling themselves or can do it with any skill. It’s far more likely to be related to a substandard profile than anything else you do or have. This tutorial will help you change that.
Tinder is the leader in the dating app space and the current king of the hill. Flirt here and you can do it anywhere.
If you’re swiping but not getting matches and you live in a place with more than three Tinder users, we can do something about it. We’ll strengthen your profile with a few profile fixes and some new images and hopefully get you more matches in the app.
It is not about you
I said it at the beginning, but it’s worth mentioning again here. Failure to do well on Tinder probably has nothing to do with your physical or psychological makeup, job, earning potential, attractiveness or anything. It will be much more about how you put your profile together. As long as you remember this and don’t get discouraged, you’ll be fine.
I recommend getting a second opinion before you start changing your Tinder profile. If you have a trusted friend of the gender you’re trying to attract, ask them what they think of your profile. This can give you invaluable insight into what you’re doing wrong and how to improve it.
Upgrade your images
All dating apps are about window shopping. You see a pile of profile cards in the app and the first thing you do is look at the picture. You’ll mainly be swiping left or right on that image, so that’s where we’ll start your profile revision.
Take a brand new set of pictures. Make them as high quality as possible. Your main image should be alone, dressed in something stylish, mostly head and shoulders, and appear smiling or at least happy. Additional images can be at work, in a hobby, interest, or while holding a puppy. It seems that puppies always win as long as it’s your puppy and not the one you borrowed for the shot.
If you can, pay a professional to take your Tinder profile pictures, or at least have someone else take them on a quality camera phone. Selfies are not a good look. They don’t look cool no matter what Instagram thinks. Do not use filters either. Of all kinds.
Revisit your Tinder profile
Profile comes a distant second to Tinder images, but it still matters. Most guys don’t bother to read them but most girls do. You should make yours as good as possible to cover all your bases. Start writing down ideas and putting together a few practical biographies over a period of a few days. Then convert them to several full bios.
Follow these suggestions in your bio as much as possible:
- Use humor whenever possible.
- Be positive and never be negative.
- Mention any interests or hobbies you are passionate about, as long as there are ‘normal’ hobbies.
- Be honest and don’t make things up.
- Write, read, edit, repeat.
Remember, you’re selling yourself here, so make your bio positive, funny, interesting and show some personality. Keep it authentic and don’t lie, exaggerate, or say you’re a pediatric surgeon when you’re not. Showing off your hobbies rounds out the picture a bit and shows more personality. If you’re interested in LARPing, unless you’re just looking for another LARPer, maybe don’t mention it.
get a second opinion
If you initially managed to find a friend to ask for their opinion, ask again now. Get feedback on your pictures and profile and ask for their honest opinion. We all look for different things, and what you find attractive isn’t necessarily what your target demographic might find attractive. This is an opportunity to learn.
Get feedback, improve your images or profile using that feedback, and then post it. You may need to repeat this process a few times, but it will be worth it.
Complete your Tinder profile completely
Most people hate laziness and nothing delays potential matches more than a lazy profile. Add all four pictures, complete your profile completely and look your best. Then you have to wait and see what happens.
Other things you can do
If you’ve been using it for a while, you may want to consider resetting your Tinder account. This article recommends resetting your account after a major change or when you swipe everyone in your area to reset the grappling algorithm. It can’t hurt, so it’s worth considering before posting your new profile.
