Tips for a good tinder profile?

A guide to a good Tinder profile (from a straight woman's perspective)

I've been on Tinder for a few months and have seen a lot of really good and a lot of really bad profiles. I have mentioned a lot of these things in other comments, so I thought maybe it would be helpful to have them all collected in one post.

(Please note, all opinions are my own)

Photos:

Make sure the images are clear and there is good lighting. Daytime outdoor pictures are great because of the natural lighting.

One or maybe two mirror selfies are okay, but try to have at least 2x as many “non mirror selfie pics” - if you have two mirror selfies you should have at least four pictures that are not. And PLEASE for the love of god, make sure your mirror and the room behind you are clean.

Hygiene! If I can smell you through your photos, I'm not even going to consider you.

Include a minimum of two full body pictures, and at least one of them should be standing without anything obstructing the view. You don’t have to be standing there awkwardly, though. If you feel uncomfortable, it’ll show. Some sort of candid action-shot, even if it’s just walking, works well.

Avoid shirtless pics unless you have a reason to be shirtless. At the beach? The pool? Go ahead and post those pecs, baby. 👌🏼 Standing in your dirty house in front of a dirty mirror? Boy, bye 💁🏼‍♀️

Douchey bro-poses get an immediate left swipe. I shouldn’t have to explain what this means.

Post photos of you doing your hobbies (if you have any). Even if you think women won’t be interested; you never know! We like men who have interests!

Speaking of hobbies, don’t post pictures of dead animals. If you hunt or fish and want to post photos of that, you do not have to share your kill.

If you have a pet, post a photo of yourself with him/her! You love animals. You want to attract women who also love animals.

Don’t post pictures of your kids. That’s just creepy. In fact, I’d suggest avoiding pictures of any children, but if you have one where you look amazing and want to share it (or are trying to show off your paternal side), slap a sticker or something over that poor innocent child’s face.

I personally don't mind a single photo with a cigarette/joint if you're a smoker; just remember it is not a personality trait. Don't make the photo about smoking. It's just there, it should not be the focus. Some people are repulsed by smoking, though, so keep that in mind. Better for them to know you do beforehand rather than being horrified to see you light one up after dinner.

If you aren’t in the picture, don’t post it. Trust me, we don’t care about the pictures of your truck, no matter how awesome the filter is. We don’t care about your chili (unless you cooked it and are in the picture!). We want to see YOU, not your stuff.

Bio:

Be positive! Nothing is more of a turn-off than bios that complain about women, or tinder in general. Don’t be negative. Don’t be a “nice guy.” And definitely don’t be an asshole.

On that same train of thought, don’t insult yourself (unless it is blatant self deprecating humor). Everyone has different tastes. Don’t assume right off the bat women aren’t going to be interested and go on the defensive. We can see your pictures and we can read your bio, let us make our own decisions. 😊

Be honest about what you are looking for. Some women just want a hookup or FWB. Some women are looking for relationships. Some are just looking for friends. You’re more likely to find someone who is looking for the same thing you are if you are upfront about it. The biggest thing to remember about this is to be respectful in your description of what you are looking for. Someone in another post said he was “Looking for something casual, but not necessarily one night stands. More like dates and FWB (actually mean the friends part too) with the occasional hookup.” His tone, phrasing, and vocabulary was very open, honest, and respectful. It was the perfect way to describe what he wanted without sounding like a player or scumbag.

If you’re funny, be funny! If not, don’t force it. Just be genuine. Avoid copy/pasting popular “funny” bios. It just makes you come off as unoriginal and boring. Keep it lighthearted and honest.

If you have kids, you can mention them, but avoid saying “my kids come first.” No duh, they come first. Anyone worthy knows that already. (No need to mention your ex - that can come up later in conversation. You’re single now, that’s why you’re on tinder, and that’s all that matters)

Don’t be graphic or gross. If your bio describes what you wanna do to my pussy, you’re getting a left swipe no matter how perfect you otherwise seem.

Spell check. Grammar check. Syntax check. Yes, it matters.

Most importantly, be friendly and have fun. And don’t get discouraged if you aren’t getting a ton of matches. It’s just tinder. 😊
