Looking for Tinder tips because you're not happy with the quality (or quantity) of your matches? The average guy [http://www.nytimes.com/2014/10/30/fashion/tinder-the-fast-growing-dating-app-taps-an-age-old-truth.html?_r=0] spends around an hour and a half each day on Tinder [/tinder-guide/], checking the app about 11 times. That translates to a lot of wasted time and a very frustrating experience when you’re not matching with any women you actually want to meet. Or worse - you’ve got no Tinder matches [/no-tinder-matches/] at all. But don’t worry. These 5 Tinder tips will give your match rate the boost you’ve been hoping for - and you’ll get higher quality matches! #1: BE EASY ON THE EYES (NO MATTER WHAT YOU LOOK LIKE) If you want to maximize your results on Tinder, practice the KISS method when it comes to choosing your photos [/profile-pic/]. In a recent study [https://imotions.com/blog/science-tinder-case-study/], researchers presented participants with an array of Tinder photos and studied their swiping patterns and reactions. They discovered simple, uncomplicated photos were consistently rated as more attractive. It all boils down to “cognitive workload [https://www.unravelresearch.com/en/blog/your-brains-on-tinder-neuroscience-reveal-the-irresistible-tinder-picture],” which in layman’s terms simply means how hard you need to think about something. When it comes to Tinder photos, the quicker your brain can process what it’s seeing, the more appealing that photo becomes. With that in mind, here are easy 3 ways to make your Tinder photos more attractive [/tinder-pictures/] with an image editor like Pixlr [https://pixlr.com/express/] or Photoshop: ADJUST THE CONTRAST: When there’s a higher degree of contrast, you stand out from the background and instantly catch her eye. That’s crucial when she’s swiping through multiple photos in a short amount of time. CROP YOUR PRIMARY PHOTO: You want the first picture she sees to make the best impression possible, so consider turning it into a headshot with the crop tool. Simple = more attractive, so crop in on the upper third of your body. THICKEN YOUR LIMBAL RING: The limbal ring is that dark ring around the iris of your eye, and having a more pronounced one gives your perceived attraction level a boost [http://cogsci.uci.edu/~ddhoff/EP09137146.pdf]. #2: MAKE SURE YOUR PHOTO LINEUP SAYS ALL THE RIGHT THINGS Choosing photos where you look good is important, but a lot of guys stop there. If you want to attract the highest quality matches, you need to take it a step further and capitalize on what your photos are signaling to her. Signaling is the process of conveying meaning with a photo so you don’t have to explicitly state it. For instance, a photo of you zip lining in Costa Rica signals that you have the resources to travel and that you’re adventurous. That’s an example of good signaling. Improper signaling happens when you think your photo is communicating one thing, but the viewer comes away with a completely different take-home message: Gathering feedback on your photos is one way to virtually guarantee you’re sending the right signals. Use a site like Photofeeler [https://www.photofeeler.com/] to evaluate your options, then use the most popular photos in your lineup. You can also enable Tinder’s Smart Photos [/tinder-smart-photos/] feature, which automatically rotates all your photos into the primary position, then adjusts your lineup according to popularity. According to the app’s data, you’ll see up to a 12% increase [http://blog.gotinder.com/introducing-smart-photos-for-the-most-swipeworthy-you/] in matches. Want more help?

But if she’s undecided, a rock solid bio could make up her mind. Besides, guys with Tinder bios [https://www.vidaselect.com/best-tinder-profiles/] get more matches [http://arxiv.org/abs/1607.01952] than guys without - and getting more matches is the whole reason you’re reading this, right? Your bio has one job: make her want to know more about you. If you can’t spark her curiosity, the odds of you two meeting in real life are slim to none. You’re about to get 3 examples of good Tinder bios [/best-tinder-bios/], but first grab a pen and paper and do this quick exercise: 1. Describe what you do for a living in one short sentence. 2. Jot down some of your hobbies. Maybe you travel, or like to go windsurfing, hiking or scuba diving. Or maybe you know your way around a BBQ or the karaoke stage. 3. Add some of your favorite things, like your family, your dog, craft beer - whatever floats your boat. Now check out these examples, and choose your favorite style: #1: #2: #3: Refer to your list, customize the particulars, and boom - you just got an irresistible Tinder bio you can use right now.

More profile views typically equal more matches, so it’s likely worth the small investment. Tinder Plus [/tinder-plus/], Gold [/tinder-gold-review/], and Platinum [/tinder-platinum/] users get a free boost every month, but if you’re not a paid subscriber you’ll have to pay for the privilege. Depending on your market, a single boost costs around $7, with a price break for buying them in quantity: Tinder Boost Cost (2025)1 Boost - $6.995 Boosts - $6.00/each10 Boosts - $5.00/each #5 CHOOSE A FEW PASSIONS TO DISPLAY Tinder shows you which Passions (or "Interests", in some markets) you have in common with a potential match by highlighting them on your bio. Thanks to the “implicit-egotism [http://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1111/j.0963-7214.2005.00344.x?legid=spcdp%3B14%2F2%2F106&patientinform-links=yes&]” effect, people tend to gravitate towards other people who are similar to themselves. So having something in common could plant the seeds of attraction. But stick to choosing interests you genuinely enjoy, since the topics are likely to come up in a message exchange.
