How to Create an Irresistible Dating Profile: Tips That Will Guarantee Right Swipes on Tinder
Update your Tinder profile with these tips and control the quality of your matches. Hopefully you will never have to face a rejection or deal with one of those people who leave you stuck in a texting purgatory again.
Dating apps can be exhausting to the point where it breaks your thumb to sit and swipe on a Saturday night. It's a heart-pounding experience that can cause your tummy to flutter over a future love connection. But what if we told you that there is a way to perfect your Tinder profile and get all the right swipes? So if you want to have your messenger full with messages from better suitors, follow these tips.
Lead With a Bright Display Picture
If you are on Tinder you must have noticed that most people opt for a more neutral colour like beige, navy, white or blue for their first profile photo. But if you want to be the cynosure, you may just want to pick a brighter coloured outfit and click a picture against a background that makes you stand out. The important thing here is to do something unique to catch someone's attention.
Show Your Teeth and Don't Turn Your Head
We are not asking you to pout but a grin can up your chances of getting a match by over 100 percent. A smile can make you appear more approachable and welcoming. So show your pearly whites in that profile picture. Dating App Users Beware! You May Suffer From Loneliness, Social Anxiety.
Pen Your Personality in the Bio
Use your bio as a place where you let your personality shine. Apart from simply penning down your list of hobbies, include other cool facts like your favourite character in Game Of Thrones or if you like extra cheese in your pizza. A great idea is to offer up an open-ended question in your bio something like "If you could visit that one destination in the world, what would it be." Update your profile and see the responses flowing.
Don't Be Basic
If you like to travel, display a picture of yours in front of Macchu Pichu or Great Wall of China. If you like to eat out every weekend snap a picture of yours with that king-sized burger.

Ditch That Hat and Sunglasses
Wearing a hat or sunglasses or anything that hides your face potentially reduces your chances of a right swipe. People want to see your gorgeous face, not your trendy sunglasses.
Link Your Tinder with Other Social Media Profiles
Link your Instagram with Tinder so that they know you are not hiding anything. And don’t worry about getting random follows from peeps you swiped left on as they can’t see your IG handle from your Tinder profile. Non-dating Teens Are Less Depressed, Better Socialized: Study.
Be Real and Honest
Your profile is yours to show who you are in whatever way you feel is best for you. The most successful profiles are the ones that are truthful and feel honest. So if you are an animal lover and that’s important to you and something you want to reflect, pictures with animals are totally fine.
Pick a Reliable Ice Breaker
Once you have got a match, use a funny GIF as an icebreaker every time. Something like a "hello there" or "knock knock". We know it is corny, but it can make them laugh out hard.
Do not feel low if a date does not work out. It’s about making connections, it’s about building relationships with other people. Avoid seeing people as lost time or wasted opportunities.
