Finding the best Tinder tips for guys isn’t always easy. Sometimes, dating online<\/a> can feel daunting. This is especially true if you\u2019re a guy who\u2019s had bad luck on Tinder for a while and it might be a sign that you need to switch up your game and try a few new tactics. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thankfully, we know what you need! You need some Tinder tips<\/a> for guys – from a girl! When it comes to finding love online, there’s always room to fine-tune your approach. If you\u2019re not getting any matches there’re things you can do to help yourself out, and if you\u2019re not getting replies to messages, there’re small tweaks you can make to get a girl chatting in no time. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tinder Tips for Guys – From a Girl Who Cares<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ditch the selfie but have a photo of your face<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Women who use selfies on their dating profiles tend to get great results. For guys though, that isn’t so often the case. But since the initial connection is made based on your photos, you still need a good shot of your face. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Group pictures can be deceiving and might cause someone to swipe past your profile rather than taking the time to figure out which one of those dudes in suits is the owner of this profile. So getting a good selfie<\/a> is key. If you don\u2019t have a good photo that a friend\u2019s taken, here\u2019s a trick\u2014use the timer on your phone to take something. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pick other great photos<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Too many guys have photos of their cars, trucks, or motorcycles on their Tinder profile. We get it, your car is something you\u2019re proud of and there\u2019s nothing wrong with that. Women love their cars too, it\u2019s not just a guy thing. But you\u2019ve only got a few photos to make a first impression. Do you really want to waste one on your car? <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Women want to know who you are, not what you drive. That also applies to the fish you\u2019ve caught and any poses with weapons (pictures with guns can easily be taken the wrong way). Remember, you\u2019re trying to impress a woman, not another man. So choose photos that tell a story that’ll appeal to her. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Share about yourself<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A bio that reads \u201cJust ask\u201d is not giving us a lot of incentive to get to know you further. You can be super attractive, but if you have nothing to say about yourself, that makes you look boring. A bio doesn’t need to cover your whole life story, but you should give us a reason to want to know more about you. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Talk about your favorite things to do, your ideal Friday night, or what you nerd out about the most. You can ask a friend who\u2019s a girl to help you craft the ideal profile<\/a> for some inspiration.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t be negative<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s a certain kind of bio that lists all the things a dude DOESN\u2019T want in a woman. Maybe you\u2019ve been hurt before, or you\u2019re sick of matches who just want to chat forever without meeting up, and you think that being proactive and protective of yourself is the way to go. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

But, when you put something like \u201cNo drama please,\u201d or \u201cI\u2019m not here to write novels back and forth,\u201d to us, it comes across as you being picky and negative. That\u2019s not a good first impression. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be courteous<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You might think that\u2019s a no-brainer, but really, courtesy when using the platform<\/a> is underused sometimes. Don\u2019t ask if we’re DTF or talk about sex immediately. You might think of Tinder as a casual hookup app, but it\u2019s evolved into a more complex dating platform. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re only there for casual sex and you find someone else who makes it clear in their profile that that\u2019s their jam too, great! But, you still need to open the conversation with some basic decency. If you\u2019re operating off the assumption that you can start a conversation any other way, you\u2019re not treating us very well. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make an effort<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

An opening message of \u201chey\u201d isn\u2019t very interesting. It doesn\u2019t take a lot of time to look at our profile and craft something a little more personalized. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Comment on our wildest photo, or ask about what we wrote in our profile. If you don\u2019t want to go to that much effort, you can do something as simple as asking, \u201cWhat\u2019s the best movie you\u2019ve seen recently?\u201d Trying a little bit can make a big difference.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have fun<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of all the Tinder tips for guys we could throw at you, this might be the most important. Taking it too seriously can ruin anyone\u2019s experience. If you set out with good intentions and a good outlook, you\u2019re bound to have luck eventually. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you\u2019re there for a hookup or looking for something long-term, treat us well and trust that being kind makes you a true catch.<\/span> What are you waiting for? Head out there and try out these Tinder tips for guys!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
