"rarely get matches" "I have solid pics"
One of these is a lie and i think we all know which one it is.

Online dating is a waste of time if you aren't model-tier in looks. Literal chads with idiotic bios get more matches. Delete the app and waste no more money on that shit. Get to cold approaching or risk suffering online-ddating induced depression or low quality relationships.

Dude.. I have used OLD for years. And typically I would agree.. I would catch matches every so often and 9 times out of 10 it would either go nowhere or I would take a closer look and realize they used the first picture to seem way more attractive then they were… I’m by no means a chad or model, he’ll even my pictures go against what the typical advice is here. I lowered my search region down. And holy shit I have been catching matches with women I never would have expected to match with.. banged a few, talking to a couple now. With a date set up tommorow.. idk what’s happening but I’m not mad at it

I certainly don't have "model-tier looks" and online dating has been very successful for me. I think online dating can be successful for average-looking men if they invest time and resources into their pictures.

Just because you have bad results doesn't mean everyone does. There's tons of dudes on here that do just fine

Your bio is not the reason youre not getting matches lol.

Brutal lol

Post your profile. It’s impossible to comment without seeing the evidence
[–]Heavy_Plow 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
For online dating, your written bio is of very marginal importance. Instead you should direct your resources and effort towards improving your photos. I recommend hiring a professional photographer, it was a very high ROI move by me.

Yup. You could come up with the wittiest, funniest most original bio, and if the pics are garbage, girls will just laugh and say "wish he was hotter" as she swipes left.

You don’t have good pictures

Online dating is absolute garbage for a majority of average dudes. To get women interested you have to have superinteresting life at the very least (travelling, animals, parties, martial arts etc). Many people can't afford all of that to compensate on their average looks. I am not going to fake and stage pics to get matches only to show them that I don't do martial arts. It is equivalent of getting a boob job. Go fuck yourselves.
Second issue is there are many good looking dudes being oblivious to how good looking they actually are and giving false hope to others. We have PUA's (won't mention their names, as some of them lurk here) who are natural V-shapes and 8/10 telling how easy is pick up lol. Get the fuck out of here
If you are average and don't have enough resources to support interesting lifestyle for majority ODL women audience chances are you will struggle a lot. Get rid of the app and don't pay a dime.

This. Looks are all that matter. Anyone telling you that they aren’t model tier and are getting tons of matches is lying, about one or both of those.
No one reads bios, no one cares how fast you text, no one cares if your pictures are in the bathroom mirror or not….
They care that you’re hot.

Take a look at my last post in this subreddit.

The method my friend Alex uses is to like every woman. That way you will see all of your matches. He does this for every dating app. Then if it turns out you actually are interested in a match then you just message them or reply if they message you.
It works surprisingly well for him but he is 6'4.

100% this. Swipe right without even looking, then decide who you want to talk to after you match
[–]Zebrahead033 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
It's a loophole around having to pay to gain access to certain features. Not ideal but it works.

Online dating isn’t a average man’s game. To get consistent matches you need to be on the high side of attractive ..

I have just the remedy for your problem my friend. Check my profile
[–]Ecstatic-Flounder-48 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
My pics kinda suck but I get matches because of my bio (it’s cringe Af) but feel free to take what you want:
6’1
Pornhub promised me MILFs and I’m here to collect
My star sign isn’t cancer but it might as well be
I have an executive membership at Costco
5’11+ women swipe right 😜
^ literally copy/paste of my bio

Well your interests don’t set you apart at all. You’re essentially saying you’re the same as everyone else. That’s probably most of your problems. I put dumb stuff in it and stuff that applies to me and I get more matches than I can realistically speak to any I live in a very competitive area
[–]MoreConcentrate5906 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
My bumble bio:
Super charming and funny.
General good egg.
Kinda in to quirky weird girls.
Definitely average looking, bold with dad bod. Happy with the amount and quality of matches I get. Girls are always trying to prove they’re weird and quirky enough. If they’re trying to qualify themselves to you in the first message you’re in a great position
