Long gone are those days when it was considered shameful to try to meet love online. Dating apps might have their disadvantages, but they also have their undeniable benefits. For instance, why would you limit your options only to your own town or neighborhood when the world has much more to offer? Dating apps such as Tinder can theoretically put you in contact with people from all countries of the world.
Let’s say that you have a pretty unique personality that makes the majority consider you “difficult” or “antisocial.” With a dating app, you have better chances of finding someone with similar personality traits as you. But perhaps you’ve been using Tinder, and even so, you barely got any matches.
The truth is that it can be difficult to match with others if you don’t know about some very important tips. It can be especially more difficult to find matches as a guy than women do. Let’s see how you can get more matches on the app:
Upload photos of you and your friends
Women are naturally attracted to influential guys. The more you surround yourself with other people, the more the girls will be inclined to swipe right. You can even raise the stakes and post photos of you at parties, concerts, or while speaking in front of an audience. Women love men who take the lead and are confident as well, and it’s nothing to blame for that. It’s just how the world works.
It’s also a good idea to emphasize in your photos that you are an active person, as nobody likes to be around dull people. For that matter, you should post photos in which you appear as part of a team, at a desk surrounded by people, with each of them having a laptop in their front, and the examples could continue.
Be friendly and positive
Would a girl like to date someone who constantly tells her about the fact that the Universe is teeming with black holes and that the world could disappear at any moment? Of course not! Nobody likes pessimistic and negative people in general, regardless of how realistic they may be. People have enough dirt on their plates already, as we’re all fed up with a modern society in one way or another. We don’t need another individual telling us similar stuff. Life is difficult already, and one of the main reasons we want a life partner is to gain some level of comfort in life, not to exacerbate the difficulties.
Therefore, it’s important to transmit a positive vibe through your profile, including the photos you post on it. Go ahead and follow the same path as you start texting the girl.
Be funny
Remember what we said that people look for a life partner to gain some level of comfort? Being an amusing guy remains one of the most efficient ways to win a girl’s heart. While being positive is good enough, knowing how to crack a joke in each conversation can be a huge bonus. Women will also find you attractive if you are funny, and they are naturally repelled by those guys who are grumpy.
Don’t ask for too much from the start
Nobody likes when their liberties are taken away, or when someone tries to. In other words, if you go on a date with a woman after you two match on Tinder, don’t just go ahead and tell her that you want her to delete her Facebook and Instagram accounts for you, not have any guy friends, marry you and give you 4 kids, for instance. Even though you may want those things, it’s important not to mention them right from the start. The pressure would be too much for her to handle. Otherwise, you won’t get a second date with that person.
Be honest
Everybody knows that you can be anyone and anything you want as long as you’re hiding behind an online profile and a computer/smartphone. But guess what? Sooner or later, you will be exposed to your true identity, especially if you want to meet women in real life by using a dating app. In other words, it’s crucial to be as honest as possible, regardless of how tempting it may be to make things up in your profile. Don’t just post photos in a car while holding the steering wheel if that car is not yours and you don’t even have a driving license, for instance.
Another strong reason why you need to be as honest as possible while you look for love online is that information passes on from person to person, and you may rapidly gain notoriety as a liar, especially if you live in a small country. If that happens, nobody will trust you anymore.
Don’t be judgemental
Of course, it’s hard not to be judgemental nowadays, but guess what? Women don’t like judgemental guys, especially if you’re willing to shame them for their past sexual lives. If a specific girl you meet online doesn’t fit your requirements, it’s better to ignore or just leave her after the first date than to try to shame her. Nobody out there will change their way of life just because you don’t like it.
As of September 2021, roughly 75 million people were using Tinder every month. There’s no wonder why, as the famous app is available in more than 190 countries and in 56 languages.
