Hey everyone,

Just looking for some feedback on my Tinder profile and bio. I attached the five pictures currently on my profile and you can read my full bio in them. I haven't linked my Instagram or used the anthem section and left my job blank. My college (graduated) shows.

I haven't been getting as many matches as I thought I would be and have been having a hard time getting things going with the higher quality ones.

Let me know what you guys think. Thanks.

I think you're getting close to the success you want.

Keep these:

-B&W pic of you with window shadow
-Third pic showing you and the two laptops

Those are both good, I would get rid of all the rest. The pic of you pointing at the camera definitely needs to go, because it will come across as cheesy and forced (don't feel bad about it, it's SUPER hard to take natural looking photos).

I think there are 3 more potential photos you could take that would help:

-Candid shirtless photo showing off your physique
-High quality pic that shows your whole face, taken at the perfect angle
-Social photo of you with other people to show off that you have cool friends too

Remember that by far the most important photo is your FIRST photo. Have a KILLER first photo. It will likely be a shirtless pic of your physique, or a natural looking, high quality head-and-shoulders shot so the girls can clearly see your face. You can use photofeeler or Tinder's "best photo" mode to figure out which pic is best as your main.

You're doing great, you've already got 2 great photos that you can use. Keep tweaking and trying new things. Test that shit out on ratings websites. You're almost there. Right now you're just being held back by the way these 5 photos seem to play out. You don't need to be redundant, one DJ photo will do it. Just use the best one you can.

Actually, it just occurred to me: another possible suggestion for your main photo is you wearing a really nice suit. This is something I'm gonna test out as well.
Thanks for everything you guys. It's time for me to move on to bigger things!

So long, and thanks for all the fish!

Yo I'm an iOS developer too! You might want to try keeping that out of the profile. I would think a guy with good physique and style who programs is a good juxtaposition, but I'm also worried programmers just have too much of a nerd/loser stereotype. Don't need to hide it once you start messaging girls, just might wanna try not putting it in the profile. Pics are way more important though. Do you use the "Boost" feature? In my experience that's basically required to get a good number of matches. Do it on Sunday evening.

don't feel bad about it, it's SUPER hard to take natural looking photos


True dat. What I've found helps with getting natural looking pics is to set up the camera to take a burst of photos over say 15-30 seconds, and literally try to forget you're having your picture taken. Have it take 20+ pics. Some of them, especially the first couple, will look forced, but somewhere in the middle to end a good natural one (or a few) usually pops up. I move my head around at different angles to get different options (looking away from the camera, right at it, up, down, deadpan, smirking, etc.).

I've thought about the suit thing too. Good outdoor shot, with totally maxed out "rich guy" style. Tell us how that works out when you try it!

Exactly what I would say... 1,3. The candid shirtless photo is tricky. I took mine in Thailand on a secluded island




They worked great on dtf, quantity chicks, but the quality chicks who are looking for something substantial and got talked into getting online by their friends get sketched out more. I just have slim fitting clothes nowadays

Dude.... are you still in KW region atm? i went to UW and graudated last yr...

Your photos might need work that that is not the biggest problem, summer terms in KW area is DEAD, Tinder is even deader. All the hot UW and WLU bitches are not there during summer term. You will get like 10x more matches in sept-apr when most girls are in school.

You can have the best photos in the world but it won't do any good in a town with like 100 chicks in it.

I wouldn't focus too much on Tinder during summer times tbh. I'd cold approach on UW campus 11:15-11:30AM, or 2:15-2:30PM Mon - Thurs (Frid campus is empty), you can easily approach 10 chicks in 15 minutes around SLC and RCH area during those 2 time frames because that's when most people who are there during the summer terms are on campus going to and leaving classes so there's a good overlap.

Most Tinder chicks in KW are from WLU and UW Arts/Business but there's still plenty of others from other programs but are not on there.

Tinder may be dead but it's SO easy to pick up chicks at UW because, well, you know the stereotype there. I cleaned up when I was there and from the looks of your pics you would too. FUCK I miss those days.
