Even though how hard you need to try vastly varies from who you are. A recent experiment done by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=lY8rzo4Ik4M\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">\u2018whatever\u2019 <\/a>showed that men should put more effort than women to attract right-swipers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Between two Tinder profiles opened with a similar number of photos, ages, and locations from a male and a female model, the woman\u2019s profile received matches 70% of the time, while the man\u2019s profile only 27% of the time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What happened after matching? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, that female\u2019s profile received a whopping 400 messages in just a few hours as compared to the 28 messages received by the male model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Men should work a bit harder when using Tinder but the same profile tips apply to both parties. So let us enlighten you with the best Tinder profile tips to transform your love life. Here they are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Choosing The Right Photos for Your Tinder Profile<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The old adage <em>\u201cDon\u2019t judge a book by its cover\u201d<\/em> falls flat here. You\u2019ve got only a few seconds to hook your profile viewers with your photos before they decide which way to swipe. So here are a few tips for your photos.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Let Your Photos Tell a Story<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Your photos remain one of the most important parts of your Tinder profile. Users will often swipe without even reading bios or seeing interests. The wrong pictures could lead to quick left swipes and fewer matches.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Go take some fresh pictures that show the best of you. The details shouldn\u2019t be fabricated. For instance, if you\u2019re someone who loves nature, it wouldn\u2019t make sense to have only indoor pictures on your profile. Through your photos, you\u2019re not only showing your physique but also your personality.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Research shows that outdoor pictures get you 19% more swipes than indoor pictures. What about selfies? They\u2019ll encourage as little as 8% fewer right swipes on your profile. So get creative and start snapping some pictures outside. (Avoid posing with a tuna in your hand, though. It\u2019ll backfire.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Use Group Photos But In Moderation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>No matter how many bad decisions you\u2019ve made in your life, this might be the worst. Using group pictures shows very little about you. The only usefulness of group pictures is to show you have a good social life.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other than that, they\u2019ll lower your Tinder profile chances to win the right swipes. But if you use one or two pictures where you\u2019re clearly visible (don\u2019t set any of them as primary photos), you\u2019ll be fine with them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So keep these Tinder profile tips in mind:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Don\u2019t select a group photo to show first.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Avoid group photos with over five members where you\u2019re hard to see.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Don\u2019t block your friends' faces with emojis or edits of any kind.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>However, avoid uploading any pictures of you on the football team. It would be nerve-wracking for your potential match to spot you among ten other guys. They\u2019re here to date, not play detectives.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Wear Bright Colors In Your Profile Picture<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Wearing clothes that show you in attractive light is possible. In the same way, it\u2019s possible to wear ill-fitting clothes that make you appear immature and unattractive. So invest in your looks, and grab something appropriate.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After figuring out the right size, pass into selecting clothes with the right colors. Based on <a href=\"https:\/\/datingxp.co\/tinder-statistics\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"12580\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Tinder\u2019s statistics<\/a>, over 72% of its users wear neutral color clothes. Stand out. Wear bright colors to appear more interesting.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t spare wearing clothes in orange, yellow, or red. Spice up your style, and in the worst-case scenario if you don\u2019t have any clothes in bright colors, pose against an interesting wall, or picturesque scenery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Keep Your Shirt On&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ve hit the gym for months, and now you want to flex those hard-built muscles. I get it. But throwing your shirt away might do more harm than good to your profile attractiveness. Muscles aren\u2019t everything.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shirtless pictures risk showing you as a self-centered person incapable of empathy. Remember, if you\u2019re searching for a healthy relationship, you wouldn\u2019t want someone to fall for you solely because of your physique.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Besides this, there are plenty of other reasons to keep your shirt on. Think of those people scrolling through Tinder from their offices with coworkers around, or taking the train back home.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When your bare chest comes out, they\u2019ll embarrassingly get rid of your profile quickly, let alone consider swiping right on you. Don\u2019t lose the game so early. Keep your shirt on, and save those shirtless pics for later.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. No More Than One Selfie<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Selfies are easy to take. But quite often, the easiest things to get aren\u2019t the best. So it happens with selfies too. But there are no zero-selfies rules either. One selfie done right is extra points for your profile.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some Tinder profile tips to capture an irresistible selfie:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Show yourself participating in an activity or sport.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Photoshop yourself into an amazing stunt (or hire a Photoshop expert to do it for you.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Experiment with angles, lighting, and backgrounds.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Just avoid selfies inside a car, mirror selfies, and generally the awkward ones in low quality. You\u2019ll include only one or two so put effort into them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"pro-tip\">If you're still struggling & confused, you can check our <a href=\"https:\/\/datingxp.co\/tinder-profile-examples-for-guys\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"4061\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Tinder profile examples for men<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/datingxp.co\/tinder-profile-examples-for-women\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"4229\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">for women<\/a> \ud83d\ude09 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Writing a Compelling Bio for Your Tinder Profile<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After your photos draw eyeballs on your profile it\u2019s time to <a href=\"https:\/\/datingxp.co\/best-tinder-bios\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"415\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">win them with your Tinder bio<\/a>. Never leave it empty. It\u2019s your chance to shine a light on your impressive personality. Here are some Tinder profile tips about your bio.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Make Your Bio Relatable&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Avoid superficial bios. We connect with people who relate to our struggles, passions, and dreams. That\u2019s why mentioning them in your bio is vital. Doing so will attract the right person for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are a few more things to remember when you\u2019re writing your bio:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Use little emojis (avoid placing them mid-sentence).&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Keep your sentences short and space them for easy reading.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mention your intentions and list interesting facts about yourself.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep a positive attitude, and use simple language. It\u2019s not the right place to flex your education. (Unless you\u2019ve gone to Stanford or Harvard.) Here\u2019s an example of a well-written profile:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cHey! You\u2019re looking at a relentless romantic who\u2019d cuddle and chat for hours with you. I also can cook delicious dinners, and take you places. Traditional man. Aiming to find my Mrs. Right here.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Play around with your sentences. Write something funny or intelligent but avoid cliched phrases. (Everyone likes to laugh and have fun with friends.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. Use Humour With One-Liners<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Humor is priceless. Not only shows that you\u2019re that funny person that makes everyone crack up in laughter when hanging out, but that you\u2019re also capable of cheering them up when they\u2019re bored.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How to show this in your bio? One-liners are perfect for it. Use punchy one-liners to increase the likelihood of your potential matches swiping right. Don\u2019t tell them you\u2019re a funny person. Crack a funny line instead.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Enough with theoretical&nbsp; Tinder profile tips. Let\u2019s have a look at a funny Tinder bio that will flood you with matches.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&#8220;Swipe right if you're ready for a partner who can quote entire episodes of The Office and laugh at their own jokes.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Bonus points if you can keep up with my obscure movie references and love for puns.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Warning: dad jokes may be involved.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Being funny means stating the obvious unusually. So, think of your surroundings, hobbies, and trends, and write a few lines in your own style.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8. Write A Bio To Showcase Your True Self<\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/datingxp.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Being-Straightforward-on-Tinder-473x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Straightforward Tinder bio\" class=\"wp-image-1423\" width=\"237\" height=\"512\" srcset=\"https:\/\/datingxp.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Being-Straightforward-on-Tinder-473x1024.jpg 473w, https:\/\/datingxp.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Being-Straightforward-on-Tinder-139x300.jpg 139w, https:\/\/datingxp.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Being-Straightforward-on-Tinder-768x1663.jpg 768w, https:\/\/datingxp.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Being-Straightforward-on-Tinder-9x20.jpg 9w, https:\/\/datingxp.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Being-Straightforward-on-Tinder.jpg 1125w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 237px) 100vw, 237px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Take the examples above or in any other source with a grain of salt and come up with a bio that matches your personality. No matter what the experts say, copying what works means pretending you\u2019re someone else.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Use these examples as inspiration. Preserving your authenticity is more important than anything else. You can fake it or have someone else write a bio for you, but you\u2019ll attract incompatible matches, and you won\u2019t be able to keep the conversation going. So keep these tips in mind:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Be honest.<\/strong> If you\u2019re not funny, don\u2019t force yourself to appear so.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Be specific. <\/strong>Charm them with your best qualities and your vision.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Be a planner.<\/strong> Drop a line about activities you\u2019d want to do together.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember to keep your bio concise. Tinder has a limit of 500 characters but an ideal bio is around 250 characters.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Additional Tips for Your Tinder Profile<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you set up your photos and an alluring bio, it\u2019s time you start swiping. But before getting there, we have four last Tinder profile tips for you:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9. Highlight Your Interests&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though we\u2019ve mentioned it before, this deserves your full attention. Your bio is an optional space to mention your interests. While we encourage you to do so, it remains optional. Tinder has a special option for interests.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This <a href=\"https:\/\/www.help.tinder.com\/hc\/en-us\/articles\/360046122691-Interests\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">option<\/a> is found in your profile, and you\u2019re allowed to select a minimum of three interests. Other members will see them under your name and they\u2019re a HUGE factor when it comes to matching with potential dates.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>People want to meet people with similar interests, so adding your interests is likely to attract like-minded people. Tinder allows you to select up to five tags for your interests but if they\u2019re not enough, you\u2019ve got your bio.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember, no interest is boring. Binge-watching Netflix sounds like a lame interest. But if you\u2019re really into movies there\u2019s a way to show it in an interesting light. For instance, say something like <em>\u201cGive me 20 seconds and I\u2019ll name ten Steven Spielberg movies on the spot.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">10. Be Selective With Your Matches<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Tinder is a vast ocean of members from different backgrounds, and intentions. Not being attentive and selective will ruin your experience using the app. Swipes are limited on Tinder, and even if you\u2019ve upgraded to Premium, you shouldn\u2019t randomly swipe right on profiles, otherwise:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>You\u2019ll attract incompatible matches and waste time you could have spent talking to people you really like.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You\u2019ll fall prey to catfishes and gold diggers going after your money.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You\u2019ll match with members who don\u2019t share the same intentions as you regarding relationships.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Being selective with profiles you swipe right on should be the norm if you want to find someone worth dating (and compatible). Unless you want to experiment with your dating life and meet some weirdos along the way.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">11. Update Your Profile Regularly<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As you scroll through profiles, read dating advice, and get little matches, keep revising your profile regularly. No one hits the nail on its head the first time. (Unless you\u2019re a serial dater with a six-pack.)&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Among popular Tinder profile tips, you\u2019ll always find the simple advice to keep pouring work on your profile. Your updates should revolve around:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Being authentic.<\/strong> Lying and pretending won\u2019t take you far (unless you\u2019re VERY good at it.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Experimenting.<\/strong> Try uploading new photos and experimenting with the angles, clothing, and backgrounds.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Being creative. <\/strong>Try something unconventional with your photos, especially with your bio.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you follow these tips, finding your ideal match it\u2019ll be just a matter of time. Be patient. As the saying goes, <em>patience is bitter but its fruit is sweet<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">12. Ask For Feedback From Your Friends<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>No matter how much you struggle to get the perfect bio and the perfect photos, making a fair evaluation of them is like tasting your own teeth. So don\u2019t be shy to ask a trusted friend for feedback. Go through your photos together to pick the best ones. It\u2019s best if you ask more than one friend.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do the same for your bio. Ask them to suggest a Tinder bio that matches your personality, or even better, let them help you define what traits make you attractive. It\u2019s best to ask friends of the opposite gender.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They\u2019ll see your profile from the perspective of your potential matches and tell you what\u2019s attractive and what\u2019s cringe. The only thing you should keep in mind is that the process of updating your online dating profiles is never-ending until you find your ideal match. Use these tips wisely, and feel free to break them if you have to. With this said, happy swiping!&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Are you struggling to get matches on Tinder?
