    This is how you find out your profile’s bad.

    I don’t know how applicable this is to this persons specifically, but here’s some general advice from someone who’s been on both sides (I’m trans), and got a high amount of matches either way.

    Every woman I’ve spoken to about Tinder agrees :

    • Men overwhelmingly have profiles with little to no info in their bio (most often copy-pasted jokes, extremely generic facts like “I like food and music”…)

    • And poorly taken and/or cringe photos (posing with their car, half drunk with half a dozen other people, making a weird face, showing off nonexistent gains…)

    If you want more matches, you need good pictures (not blurry, not from far away, not backlit) that stand out from the rest (especially, no one cares about your car. An expensive car is a huge douchebag redflag), and a bio that actually says something about your hobbies, world view, etc.

    So, in summary, two steps :

    • Actually be an interesting person (probably already true, but hard to fix if not)
    • Communicate that properly (easier than you think, see above)

      It’s been a minute, but it was an automatic “no” when someone would answer “what are 5 things you can’t live without” were stuff like food, water, and air. Yes, I know that. Tell me about yourself!

      It was almost always men that answered that way.

      I know I’m incredibly dull. I’m average looking. I was a single parent. A decent picture and a little about myself and I did alright though, even with the ladies.

        “ACKtually, there are certain molecules and bio-organisms you can’t live without and-- Hey, where are you going!?”

      Counterpoint: tried the above to make a “good” profile, and also a “basic” profile literally generated from AI as a control.

      The basic AI generated profile full of cliches and revealed nothing about me consistently got more attention.

      Research has shown that most people overwhelmingly prefer “average” people, so if your goal is just maximising the number of matches then an “interesting” profile is actually worse.
