Photo Strategy

Tinder Photo Strategy for Men

Your first photo will determine 90% of your results. Most women swipe left in under one second. Dating apps are extremely visual, and you must recognize this in order to succeed.

First picture: Attractive full body shot

Use a highly photogenic full body shot of yourself wearing your nicest clothes, and with an approachable facial expression (not overly serious and not overly smily). The goal at this point is to present yourself in the best light possible and encourage her to look at more of your photos.

Demonstrate value subtly

Use only high quality photos that appear to be taken by somebody else - NO selfies. Rather than overtly demonstrating value by flexing wealth (like those cringe car photos), you can imply value by using high quality photos that appear candid (like you did not even know your picture was being taken).

Show her you have a life

The single most important thing you can do to fix your photos, besides the quality, is to simply demonstrate that you have a life. Way too many guys reuse photos from the same locations - in their bedroom, at the gym, in the car. All of your photos should be from completely different locations that imply you actually get outside and have a life. Take photos at the park, on the beach, at a party, in a fancy resturant, on a rooftop, etc.
