Firstly, you should know that guys swipe right on 60%-80% of the profiles he sees but girls only 8%-15%. So if you do the math, the probability of getting a match is 😅
If you want to get more matches you need to stand out from the crowd. Here some ways to do that:
Get more right swipes.
Do not put a selfie, group photo, photo wearing a hat or sunglass, poor quality photo, photo with a filter or photo where your face is clearly not visible as the first photo.
Always have at least 4 photos on your profile.
Put variation of photos like outdoor, full-body, leisure activities….etc
Contrary to the popular opinion go ahead with a shirtless photo if you have a good physique to show off.
Have a funny, simple, readable bio.
Increase your Elo score.
Get more right swipes by having a killer Tinder profile.
Tinder actually evaluates how picky you are so don’t swipe right every girl you see. (Be a picker)
Often swiping and messaging will make your profile more visible to others.
On a personal note.
Sometimes, getting a few matches depends on the socio-cultural background of the place you live in.
Two years ago I moved to Paris and I didn’t get matches in the first month (Although I used Tinder for 5 years across 5 different European countries and quite successful with it).
What I did is I test my profile with different photos with photo order changing and bio. commonly-known as A/B test.
After that, I got at least 10 matches per day and dated quite a few girls across multiple nationalities.My point is your Tinder profile should match the location in order to get more matches. (example - Photo with a pet is working in Asia but not in Western countries.)
Alternatively, I recommend you to use Cupido, which is an A.I. trained using millions of dating profiles, which can figure out all the flaws in a dating profile highly personalized to the user, providing you suggestions about the right photos to post and their right order to make you more attractive and likable, and eventually making you get up to 30 times more matches and 10 times more chances of an answer!
