how to get matches on dating apps

For all of the guys struggling with getting matches on dating apps

I been getting consistent matches and a decent amount of girls even like my profile first.

My demographic: 28, large city, asian american (least swiped on race statistically so if I can do it you guys can too), appearance wise I am the fit nerdy type.

The fact is most girls as in over 90% are looking for a relationship rather than a casual hookup. If you’re competing on the hookup game chances are you will not succeed. I got off any apps with hookup stigma like Tinder. I went for CoffeeMeetsBagel and Hinge instead.

Pictures:

  • No selfies (few folks here suggest a tripod setup instead)
  • Try to avoid pictures with other people (main reason is that it is sometimes difficult to figure out who you are, try to make it obvious at least)
  • Try keeping your shirt on. Shirtless on the beach hanging out with friends? Cool. Shirtless bathroom selfie? No.
  • Clear photos of yourself showing at least 2/3 of your upper body
  • No face coverings like sunglasses if possible 1 is fine (this applies to women too like I wanna see what you look like this just screams insecurity)
  • Picture with an animal helps (girls love that shit)
  • Picture of you doing a hobby you enjoy
  • Try to max out the amount of pictures your app allows
  • Use a professional photographer if all your friends photography skills suck (try to keep things candid and non-stiff)

Bio:

  • Yes, this makes a difference and they do read it. It shows effort
  • Be clear about what you are looking for in a women
  • Showcase your hobbies
  • Throw in some humor
  • Mention something about food and/or travel. Without fail every girl I dated could talk endlessly about these two things (but only if you’re into it as well)
  • Edit: Avoid talking about yourself negatively unless its clear its part of a punchline ( I thought this was a no brainer but very few people want to date someone who doesn’t like themselves first )
  • Edit: It pays off to be bold and to put your genuine self out there. Non-generic profiles are more memorable and stand out. For example if you like this weird specific thing mention it.

Additional:

  • If you’re really struggling, delete and recreate your profile. I am pretty sure if you are new to the app the algo tends to show you to more girls to entice you early on.
