[ArousalScience] Observations on Tinder through the eyes of an attractive female. 4 types of profile pictures that will end with you getting rejected.

The information here is interesting to read. But I would go back and edit your example paragraph links to the link only being "figure X." The will power it took to read the blue text was unnecessary.

Interesting read, but I have a few questions. So you mentioned that women rate higher on social status than appearance, but then later you said avoid group photos. I'm pretty confused on how to convey status without photos at social gatherings with friends. Also, if I'm doing an interesting activity by myself, then I come across as lonely? Would you mind expanding on this?

So what this means, is that if Tinder wanted to make it easier on guys who wanted a better chance at getting matches is if there were 3 options to choose from. Reject, would fuck, and would date. This would reduce the hyper-inflation of female users' self-worth and filter out the guys that girls don't want to bother with by Tinder only matching with guys they want to date or guys they want to have sex with.

I'd love to see examples of positive responses.

As a guy, things that make me swipe left almost immediately:

If after 3 pictures, I still can't tell who the subject is because she's in a group of 8 people, and they're all the same friends. It hurts my brain to try to decipher who you are.

6 cat pictures in a row. You might love your cat. I don't give a shit about your cat.

Nothing but pictures of a child. You might love your diaper destroyer. But, I'm concerned about you first.

All of your "don'ts" could have been "dos". That would have been more positive and easier to comprehend. Otherwise cool article.

Hello OP. I just finished reading all three articles and changed my pictures accordingly. 2 minutes later: BAM! A match. Can't believe how it worked. Although I still need further study to see if more girls like it so that we know it wasn't just one hit. Will edit tomorrow with the match count. Thanks man!

Awesome. I'd love to see examples of positive reactions.

What about having ex's in your photos? It feels a little weird but the pictures make me look good.

Have a profile picture with dogs or animals, works like a charm :)

Women are guilty of the same problems things that ruin it for me are

1.using a screenshot from Instagram/Facebook its not that hard to upload a picture. Or at least crop it

2.multiple people in the picture problem or just censoring they're face

3.taking a pic with a another guy who doesn't look related (like previous point)

Only uploading a selfie

5.writing nothing in your profile (not really a problem on tinder)

2015-06-17T11:39:39+00:00

I thought this was well established. Default pic is just you - rest is you displaying value.

This is great. Thank you for sharing.

also putting red dots and cross hairs on your pictures will also turn girls off.

TL;DR Be attractive don't be unattractive.

Flexappeal · 2015-06-17T14:42:05+00:00

I don't really agree with the "don't have other people in your picture" thing. I mean, I guess at face-value these lessons kind of contradict one another. Easy way to not look 'lonely' is to include other people. But don't include them to the point where you aren't the focus or prominent figure in the photo.

this has been my tinder photo for a while. Blurry, multiple people in frame. But it's worked pretty well. It's rather obvious why, though. I'm not a girl, so the middle person becomes irrelevant, and the person on the right doesn't really look like he'd be named Jake.

exzackly69 · 2015-06-17T16:17:09+00:00

Tl;dr go out and say hi to an attractive female and strike up a conversation because your big balls will make her wet, not a witty profile with pretty pictures and trust me, you really DON'T want a woman who is desperate enough to meet a guy she met online.
