The Brutal Importance of Dating Profile Pictures 😬
"No matches on tinder" is a growing search term on Google, and for good reason. Everyone knows it's slim pickings for guys on dating apps.
And if you've ever seen a woman use a dating app before, you'd know why.
Just the other day I sat on the same sofa as a 23 year-old girl using Tinder. She didn't realize I was studying what she was doing.
The same pattern kept repeating itself over and over again.
Swipe left, swipe left, swipe left... ⬅️
Then, stop for 1 second, swipe left. ⬅️
Then, stop for 2 seconds, check the second picture, swipe left. ⬅️
And the cycle repeated itself.
The craziest part is, a lot of the guys were not half bad looking. Many were even well above average as far as I could tell.
This was the moment I had my big revelation about dating profile pictures 🤯
Your first impression isn't just the most important thing, it is the only thing. End of story.
If your very first image doesn't literally force her to swipe right, then it does not matter what else you put on your profile.
So what kind of image can force her to swipe right? 🧐
It would be easier to start with what NOT to do with your first picture. Here's a quick checklist:
DO NOT DO ANY OF THE FOLLOWING IN YOUR FIRST PHOTO ❌
- Selfie, car selfie, or gym selfie. NO selfies.
- Group photo
- Sunglasses on
- Shirtless
- Sitting somewhere boring (like your living room)
- Looking too serious
- Smiling too much
- Poorly dressed
- Strange facial expression (raised eyebrows, winking, etc.)
- Overly posed, tight body language
- Another woman in the photo or background
- Not looking at the camera
- Taken from far away
- Taken from too close
- Too low quality
- Too high quality
Exhausting, right? 🥱 At this point you're probably thinking: well that eliminates all of my photos.
That's the point. That's why guys get no matches on tinder.
If you don't make the perfect first impression, she is not going to swipe right. Plain and simple. So what does a good first photo look like?
Here are some examples of dating app photos that we have rigorously A/B tested 🧪 and found to be by far the most successful:
These are very different pictures that both perform exceptionally well with women, because they show that you are approachable, warm, and safe, yet still allow them to fantasize about exactly what kind of man you are 😉
What do all of these photos have in common?
- They expose exactly who you are, in your entirety, with seemingly "nothing to hide."
- They have perfect body language, facial expressions, lighting, fashion, and back-drops.
- The quality is professional, but yet doesn't draw attention to itself. This demonstrates high value subtly.
- They portray confidence and pride, something that we have found is highly attractive to women in our testing.
- They appear candid - as if you were mid-step without a care in the world when your picture was taken.
