How to maximize your Tinder profile

Get more matches from people you could actually like

I got know Tinder last summer, but it didn’t really convince me, there was just too much guys that weren’t my type — guidos like straight from Jersey Shore or filthy looking forever alones in their 30’s. Nowadays there are actually really nice selection of my kind of men, though just have to keep on rating them so they will be found.

For many it is just nice entertainment in boring lectures or gray hangover mornings, like for me too, but I don’t exclude the possibility that I could actually find some reckoned company there.

Now I spotlight some facts, that anybody who wants to get matches with considerable gals or guys in Tinder, should define.

1. Define your target, what kind of people do you like?

I was organizing a job fair for students in January and finnish management expert Nonna Babitzin had a lecture there about how to achieve your dreams and about the first thing she said was that whatever you want, you should picture it clearly in your mind, have a vision about what is it like. For example if you want to have a girl- or boyfriend you should define exactly those features you want.

For example I like funny, cute, smart but laid-back dressed, pretty tall guys who share my passion with good food and wine, summer nights and going out with friends. I also prefer him to be educated like me.

So when searching for company in Tinder, have in mind what you want.

2. Do you look like that the girl or boy you just described would like you? You better do.

After defining your perfect match, your profile should correspond that vision. The pictures you have in your profile are fatal — the first impression everybody gets from you is that photo which is the first on your Tinder profile, make it a masterpiece. I have consulted one of my friend with his Tinder profile and tips that could work on most of people you would like to meet are probably something like these: You should look as good as possible, happy, smiling, smart.

This my friend’s Tinder profile wasn’t so great, well the profile picture was nice, but the others weren’t. For guys absolute number one rule is not to put army pictures of you to the Tinder let alone other mediums. It’s just something that is instant turn off and usually those aren’t event those best sides of you.

In your other photos you can reveal your passions, like If you’re really into wines you can put a photo of yourself tasting a good wine, looking happy because it is something you really love. With this example I want to say also that it can’t be any drunk photo, you must be really careful with that.

You can reveal your other life aspects there in the photos, like my friend. He studies in the same school as I am, and he found perfect photo of himself wearing tail coat at our student associations anniversaries last fall — It was just perfect, he smiled and he was classy in his outfit, exactly what he would like to see in his target group in Tinder.

The one pretty interesting spot in Tinder profile is that one you can have your own “statement” under your name and age. This is pretty tough one, in right context any line can be good or it can be in worst case harmful. I use “Hello you white chocolate” line because it was in one pretty funny movie and I found it so outrageously over flirty and I hope my target group, who should be funny dudes, will understand it as a joke in the context of my profile.
