Tips for the best Tinder photos

Forget trying to get the perfect Tinder profile, Everyone wants the best Tinder photo. But very few people know what a good dating photo actually is.

Straight to the point: it doesn't matter what each individual photo on your profile looks like. What matters is the story all the photos tell together!

When you look at your profile, it should always meet these 3 points:

1. Fun

2. Attraction

3. Trust

There are easy ways to check off all three of these in your profile. Let's start with "Attraction" in the next tip.

Make sure your first profile picture is irresistible.

An irresistible profile starts with a good first photo.

It has two purposes:

1. Showing yourself at your most attractive

2. Enticing people to view the rest of your profile

So what does a good First profile picture look like?

Steal this scientifically proven checklist when creating your own top photo:

• Show chest and face. So no close-up.

• Show a smile and eye contact with the viewer

• Wear a good shirt, shirt or sweater (so no crazy colors or prints)

• Minimal background distractions

• Good contrast between you and the background

• The image is of high quality

Think of it this way: someone is swiping through an endless stack of profiles. Your job is to make their brain think "Wait a minute, this is pretty nice" You also make eye contact and smile which makes you look welcoming. does she click on your profile and go to picture 2? Then your 1st picture has done its job.

Enough talk about profile pictures, let's look at the rest of the lineup.

Add Vibe photos to show how fun you are

If you get this tip right, no one can compete with you on dating apps.

In all the profiles I've seen during my career as a dating photographer, this is where men go wrong the most. It's all about Vibe photos. And the concept is simple: People care much more about how they would feel hanging out with you than how attractive you are on a scale of 1 to 10.

Consider any photo that focuses on the mood or vibe, rather than your appearance.

Photos taken during walks, sports or city trips. Maybe it's you chilling with friends at the beach. Or maybe it's you cozying up by a fireplace with a family member. Just keep in mind that you want to look as good as possible in every photo on your online dating profile.

So even if your appearance is not in the spotlight during a walking photo....

...you still want to be well-dressed, have a neat haircut, good posture, etc.

Your profile is only as attractive as your least attractive photo.

Use a maximum of 5 or 6 photos on Tinder

Listen, I combined the scientific research with the findings of my team of dating experts AND a panel of super-attractive women.

The ideal number of photos to show on Tinder is 5 or 6.

On Bumble, it is 5.

And on Hinge it is 6.

The reasoning behind these numbers? You want to provide enough information about yourself to convince fellow daters. But you don't want to oversell yourself. No one likes someone who tries too hard to be liked.

Avoid these 4 most common mistakes in profile photos

I'm going to list the most common photo mistakes so you can avoid them. Let's make sure you have only good photos. Avoid the following:

1. Selfies. Women can get away with it. Men can't. Tough luck, guys.

2. Group photos where the focus is not clearly on you. If you are not the star and hunk of the group photo, throw it away.
   Showing off in photos. Don't show off your car, watch or abs. Modesty is attractive.

3. Women in your photos. This quickly feels like a threat to the girl swiping. The only exception is group photos where you are not standing next to the girl. Personally, I wouldn't even use those.

4. Studio photos. it just looks too manufactured. short and simple

The Best Tinder Bio's

And contrary to popular belief, the best Tinder bios are NOT:

• Long

• Broad and general

• Trying to convince someone of how cool you are

• A good Tinder bio is short, breezy and shows a lot of personality.

Compare these two bios:

Sports, food, friends, travel and architecture!

Or

Don't hate me when I read every sign in a museum

It seems that the first bio gives a lot of information about the person. And the second one doesn't. But let's look longer than 4 seconds. The first person likes sports, food, friends and traveling. How many people do you know who don't like these things? While the second Tinder bio seems to give us almost nothing, it is full of personality. We get a better idea of what it would be like to spend time with this second person. are you starting to see it?

Here are two more solid profile texts to inspire you:

• Beware: I talk to animals in an irritating baby voice

• Tell me your very first email address

• And one for you to be creative with:

• I would donate my kidney for (your favorite thing in the world)

Notice how specific these bios are. Detail is good. It gives your match a peek into your character. And if they can relate, they might even send an opening line.Also note that they don't include emojis. Leave those to the girls.

Best Tinder Prompts

Good prompts make the difference between an okay profile and a GREAT profile. You can think of them as extra bio's, but easier to fill out. Spending some time on your promts can help you:

• Delivering more matches

• Making sure matches send you a message first

• Even setting up the first date

The rules for Tinder prompts are the same as for bios. Less is more. Make sure you have enough promts about different things. For example, one prompt can share a fun fact about you and make the other person laugh. The next prompt might start by telling a story about you but end on a cliffhanger. Keep these prompts short and use correct spelling and grammar.

• Are you looking for a relationship?

• I talk to my pet about: Finding a good mother figure so she can develop a secure attachment style.

• Looking for something casual instead?

• I bet you can't beat me with: Jenga.

These prompts not only provide insight into your personality, but also invite interaction. The goal is to provide a starting point for conversation, increasing the likelihood that someone will respond to your profile. Remember, the best prompts are unique, engaging and a touch challenging.

The secret to getting quality matches

Time for contrarian tactics that can turn an unsuccessful Tinder experience into a golden opportunity. Listen up. Every woman wants the best man. And every man wants the best woman.

But tastes differ. "The best" is different for you than it is for me. You can think of the whole dating thing as a marketplace. Imagine you want to open a pasta store. Your marketing might be: "We sell food."

That would be the worst ad ever. Instead, you would want to appeal to the diehard fans of a specific niche and attract them to your restaurant.

"We have the healthiest whole grain organic spaghetti bolognese made from fresh, hand-picked ingredients."

Anyone interested in that niche will now prefer your restaurant to the competition.

And even the average pasta lover will probably be curious to try out that top product within his niche.

Translated to dating advice:

If you present yourself as that funny guy who loves music and traveling.... Then you will be like Pieter, William (and young me).

Why would a girl choose you when Pieter and William are better looking? She won't.

But if you market yourself much more precisely, you will attract the ladies within that niche. You are now "the best match" for them.

I can already hear you thinking, "Okay, okay, sonny, interesting theory, but do you have any examples?"

Sure. Keep in mind that this niche theory applies to your photos and prompts as well as your bio. But I'll give a bio example.

Probably not in your league. But hey. any chance you don't take is a missed opportunity.

This was my Tinder profile text many years ago. And here's why it worked so damn well:

At the time, I really didn't feel like meeting ladies who are shy, have low self-confidence or don't like men who love themselves (a little too much sometimes).

I felt like seeing women who love teasing and being teased, challenging each other, and knowing of themselves that they are good enough for me.

That's why I wrote this bio.

Some women think, "OMG, arrogant asshole. Probably a player. I swipe left.

Others rise to the challenge: "Not in my league? Would he think he's not in my league and swipe me to the left?"

She can only discover it by swiping me to the right.

Anyway, this worked like a charm for my profile. The ladies I matched with were exactly the type I craved. They were the ones with whom I could effortlessly vibe and date.

Those who did not appreciate my narcissistic bio never came into my matches. And that is PRECISELY the result we want. These ladies would never have laughed at my jokes and I wouldn't have laughed at theirs.

Saved my time and saved their time. Now tell me again that I am not a gentleman.

Have you come to the conclusion that you'd rather have that profile created for you? Then book your free consultation here.
