Tinder Help

1.) get good pictures.

Since your pic is all they have to go off and there are TONS of good looking guys to chose from, your pic has to stand out or you won't even get to make first contact.

Have a nice picture that shows your face (even if from some distance) and, depending on how fit you are, also your body. If you have muscle then show it off by wearing a somewhat tight fitting shirt in the picture for example. Make sure this is taken with either a neutral background or, even better, in nature or a city during nice weather with good lighting.

Having a dog in the picture works great btw or any other cute animal - if you have a dog available (even if it's your friend's dog or your grandma's dog or whatever), go for a walk and take a selfie with him in a nice location or have a friend take the picture. Otherwise if you have an interesting hobby like playing guitar, playing a sport, hiking, etc., this can also help you stand out (if it looks cool)

As a general rule: if you are genetically blessed and have great facial symmetry, have a selfie or closeup shot of your face as first pic. If you're more on the average to ugly side, pictures from farther away with torso or full body in front of an interesting background and details (as described above) work wonders in getting noticed. This is possibly the most important (and most neglected) trick for people with average faces, especially if you are otherwise very fit. And if you have an average face but are ripped, this absolutely has to be your FIRST picture, otherwise girls won't check your other pictures at.

2.) Don't waste too much time talking.

Text them first, obviously, then when you have their attention exchange maybe 4-5 messages max (!) before you ask for their number and add them on what's app. Once you have done that, the same text game as after bar-encounters applies: Text to meet up or don't text at all. Search for people in the very close area only and this should not be a problem.

Honestly, the whole Pickup-line bullshit is overrated on Tinder - basically the way you talk in a bar can work here too - just normal "hey cutie ;)" or whatever, some friendly back and forth and then just ask for their number - what you say really doesn't make that much of a difference (unless it's some weirs shit like fetishes) - what's important is that you innitiate quickly so you don't waste your time on people who are not interested.

Tinder is even more of a numbers game than approaching in person so wasting a lot of time chatting is one of the worst rookie mistakes - y'all can chat and get to know each other on your date.

Do you guys send superlikes ? It think sending one might make me look weak...

Tinder tip: Don't use it.

You have no trouble with game in public? Then go out in public and meet women.
