Getting women’s attention on Tinder nowadays doesn’t mean that you should just always be outstanding.
What women prefer these days from a tinder date is to be authentic and funny to some extent.
Not all women are indeed using Tinder to find a potential partner.
Some are using it just to receive some attention or just some type of validation.
It doesn’t mean that men don’t use it to get laid too and not to create any romantic relationship.
The best way to grab their attention and be successful is to give women a glimpse of who you are and have a plan.
It might seem hard to decode women and their expectations of dating apps.
Hence, it’s not something you cannot be good at!
If you have just started to use Tinder and need an expert’s advice on how to succeed, here are 14 tips just for you:
1. Unleash your personality
The first thing that you should do is show the real you without any hesitation.
Avoid exaggerating your achievements or even photoshopping your photos.
Know that these are some things that women can notice quite easily.
Give them a quick taste and a mix of your personality, combining your weaknesses and your strength.
The first thing to do is to embrace yourself. This is quite important for men while trying to enter the online dating world.
Before setting up your profile, make sure to write your traits. What do you like about yourself and what not?
Try to upgrade yourself and work on your self-esteem before creating that page.
It will be much easier for you to craft it, once you know who you are and what you want.
2. Create a splendid bio
You don’t need to be an expert or a comedian or a wordsmith.
Just try to use your own words and show bits of your personality.
Your bio should be personal and unique. Otherwise, you might end up sounding and seeming like everyone else out there.
To create it, you need to have your friends, your colleagues, or your entourage’s opinion about you.
Be more subjective. Take their opinions and yours and pick what’s the best trait that might describe you.
If anyone else describes you as a free spirit and you feel like it, then write it down.
Keep it simple and short.
Many women can notice that your bio might be quite generic and not original words.
Using a lot of emojis or just emojis without anything written will be a bummer.
You should write at least three things about yourself. Make sure to write three things that define best your personality.
You should combine what you like and how that trait defines you. By doing it you can give others a scoop on your life.
If you like to show your sense of humor then you can use it slightly on your bio.
This will be a bonus point.
- “Just a purpose-driven guy who enjoys the outdoors.”
- “What’s your type? Mine is B+.”
3. No selfies as a profile photo
One of the reasons that you are getting a low number of dating matches is your profile photo.
Online dating apps are all about first impressions.
Tinder is just a dating app, it should be fun and something lightweight.
It might seem like something superficial but is something very crucial to point out.
Especially, something that women don’t like while swiping on Tinder is mirror selfies.
There’s nothing wrong with it but they just want to have another perspective.
You might have a photo with a group of friends and just crop yourself, that’s fine.
But too many selfies will make a woman think that you are not social enough.
It might easily give the wrong impression to them.
4. How many photos do you need?
You need enough photos to grab attention and give them a glimpse of your personality and life.
Other dating apps have a limited number of photos, such as Bumble, where you can post up to 6 photos.
Whereas on Tinder, there is no limited number but you can post up to 4-5 photos max, that would be enough.
You just need different photos from one another, so it can be like an introductory guide to your life.
5. Use short openers
Long openers and putting in much effort don’t mean that can give you higher results.
Just like only one-word openers such as Hi or Hey, won’t help you get a reply or a match.
You can be more creative if you use any trait or piece of information from their bio.
If you are vegan and they’re vegan then use it as an opener and be a bit flirty.
- “Give peas a chance..would you?”
- “If I give you my number will you promise to kale me?”
Check your grammar mistakes, that’s very important.
Especially, women are quite attentive regarding this aspect and sometimes it’s a turn-off.
It might not always be a negative thing, someone might take it as something casual.
Hence, most women get annoyed if you constantly make grammar mistakes or typos.
6. Don’t be super salty
You can compliment them but not be quite blunt that will give them the wrong impression.
Being too aggressive or vulgar won’t help you to start a conversation or even get a lot of matches.
Sometimes, you might not be aware of it because you might try to do your best.
Try to see things from a different perspective. Before sending your message ask your female friends or your sister how that would sound to them.
Getting feedback from others might help you also to improve your online dating game.
A lot of times, texting online can sound impolite even when that is not intentional.
7. Avoid putting disturbing photos
To be successful and grab attention, you need to put neat and entertaining photos.
I am not implying that you need to make anything extraordinary, you just have to show how you vibe in life.
This is something that can allow women to see how you organize and live your life.
You should rather add photos that will make her feel something rather than show her something.
By that, I mean that you can add photos to show an atmosphere or vibe rather than showing how you look.
You don’t have to be much focused on showing a woman how you look and only focus on showing her your hobbies.
Your photo can be good enough to give them a taste of something different.
That’s when you should incorporate elements of originality.
8. Baby photos are cool
One of the best tinder tips is to show you’re affectionate.
Hence, how can you do that?
That’s quite easy. If you have younger siblings or cousins and you love to interact with children, you can show it.
You might post one photo with a baby and you can mention in your bio that isn’t your child.
For someone that might not be a problem but some women aren’t ready to face that responsibility.
Yet, a photo of you holding a baby can be quite attractive to women.
That’s because it creates immediately to them a warm, comfortable and positive feeling.
9. Avoid mentioning that you were on tinder before
If you start a conversation on tinder, you should avoid mentioning how many times you were on this app.
It’s true that everyone deletes and downloads again this app.
Every time that you feel like you are not being successful, that’s when you give up.
Yet, this piece of information should not be revealed to your tinder matches.
Just by mentioning it, you will immediately leave a bitter taste.
They might think that there was something wrong with you when you were enhancing.
No one is born knowing the best in this game, everyone learns something more about it every day.
10. Make sure to read your matches bios first
If you want to know how to approach your date and be successful, you need to read their bios first.
Not everyone on Tinder is looking for a long-term relationship.
Some are looking only for a fling or someone to just talk to.
Most of the time someone can mention this in their bios and someone not.
Reading their bios will give you a glimpse of who they are and what they like or want.
If you do this, you will know what to say to them and use that piece of information smartly.
Your conversation will be crafted differently because you won’t make comments only on their appearance.
You will sound smart, funny, and confident!
11. Engage more with other profiles
The ultimate Tinder advice for guys is to engage as much as you can with other profiles.
This will enhance your chance to get better matches and the ones that are suitable for you.
With one word, you need to raise your ELO score. If you just swipe constantly left then Tinder immediately will recommend you less.
To avoid this, you need to be active and interact with as many profiles as you can.
You can do it just by following some simple steps.
- Create your profile showing who you are and what you want;
- Give your profile your real name or just your nickname. This will increase the chances to have more matches.
No woman wants to interact with someone who doesn’t have a real name. To interact, they need to know more information about you.
This is the difference between other social media and dating apps.
- Don’t choose a match more on their appearance than on what they like or who they are.
- Try to interact at least with five people during the day.
12. Keep alcohol, drugs, and smoking out of your profile
It’s not wrong to mention you like to party or just have drinks during the weekend.
What women don’t like in general is seeing photos of you drunk or just constantly partying.
Even though a woman might like to have fun, party, and is a free spirit that doesn’t mean she would only like you for that.
I want to highlight that you need to balance your profile. Try to touch every aspect of your life.
Only by doing that you can give a short tour of your life.
Also, if you like hiking, swimming, working, or dogs, and you only post about them, that will be something negative.
Women and also men like to know someone who is colorful and makes them excited.
13. Is a smile something bad?
You should smile more in your Tinder photos.
A study shows that smiling in a photo does not make you more credible.
Yet, smiling can create a positive aura and is more attractive than a grumpy photo.
You don’t have to show how attractive you are.
A smile can show how confident you are and that you enjoy your life and who you are.
One thing that you should avoid is smiling just for the photo. Make it more natural.
Have your friends or cousins or anyone else take random pictures of you while smiling and laughing.
This will have a huge impact on your profile. More women would like to interact with a positive guy.
Remember, smiling is attractive and sexy!
14. Avoid being ‘The Predator’ or ‘The Pick Up Guy’
I know that when you are desperate to get a date and need a change in your life, you will do this.
Well, it is better to take a step back and work on these feelings and thoughts before joining Tinder.
Boost your confidence first. Work on your mental and physical health.
When you join Tinder, no women would like to see photos of you with other women or how desirable you are.
This will make them run from you.
Remember, when initiating the first conversation and calling them babe or bae will give them the ick.
You can use their name or create an inside joke and then give them a funny nickname.
What should I not ask women on Tinder?
The one main thing that you should not ask on Tinder is What you are looking for?
If they did not state this in their bio then you cannot ask them immediately.
This would make women cringe. Even though it is your right to know what type of guy or relationship they want.
Hence, you might get information about it while having a conversation.
~Despite that, what women don’t like in general is to ask them to hook up.
Yes, some might want it and they are just looking for that but those who would like to date will find it uncomfortable.
In this case, you should avoid saying something like:
- “Hey, nice bum, would you like to hook up later.”
- “Those nerdy glasses are sexy, would you let me try them later on.”
At some point, it might be offensive to them and you won’t get a reply.
~Avoid asking her boring questions too like “How was your day?”.
This might not sound bad to you but you cannot ask someone how was your day without getting to know them.
It might seem weird to that woman and they don’t know what to say.
They still don’t have something to share with you.
How long is too long to message on Tinder?
This Tinder guide for guys suggests that you should find a balance when you match and want to message a woman.
You should not text immediately since you will give the impression that you were waiting impatiently to text.
Yet, you don’t wait too long to message them because it might seem like a forgotten case.
The best period to wait is 12 hours to 24 hours.
This will give them the impression that you have things to do but you are finding time to have a dating life also.
If they reply and you have a good conversation then don’t make them wait.
Since this might push them away for you because they might have a ton of guys out there waiting to talk to her.
If you like her then don’t make her wait and play mind games just so you can keep her hooked.
If you are already using Tinder and talking to them for more than a month, you need to step up the game.
Don’t wait for the woman to make the first move.
If you already matched with her and your conversation is good, you can either ask for her Instagram or her number.
This means that you are interested in more and want to make it more personal.
In conclusion: How to be good at tinder?
To be good at tinder you need to have a colorful and diverse profile.
You need to have that type of profile that will make you different from the other guys and make you outstanding.
To do it, you need to be authentic. If you like animals, don’t be afraid to put this info or a photo of it on your profile.
If you like cooking, rafting, bowling, or whatever, put these details on your bio or take a picture of these activities.
The best thing to do is to not exaggerate what you do and not show off.
Women like someone humble and authentic. This is what they find attractive and interesting.
Don’t forget to try and keep yourself in motion!
Sincerely,
Liam Barnett
