Has your
dating profile become a ghost town as of late? Are you swiping right on every
hot dude there is and getting nothing in return? Not a match in sight? Well,
that's definitely not because you're not a catch! We know you're the ideal
boyfriend and hookup situation, it's just that...your profile is selling your
short. Unless you're a Hemsworth, you have to look at your dating profile as an
ad for why people should either want to date or ultimately fuck you. So let's
break down how you can improve your personal ad and start getting those right
swipes.
1. DITCH THE
INCOGNITO BULL
An '80s song
once proclaimed, "I wear my sunglasses at night..." and so on and so
forth, well it's not the '80s and you should only be wearing sunglasses if
you're outside for an activity or driving during the day. Otherwise, show your
face! How are dudes supposed to see you if you have your gorgeous face hidden?
The same goes for hats. Let them see those locks or that bald head; whatever
you're rocking on top. Let it show.
2. DON'T
WORRY, BE HAPPY
Simply put,
smile more. We're not talking about a forced, school picture smile. Just a coy,
playful one that showcases you're not some hardass who thinks they're too cool
to put them pearly whites on display. Plus, people want to be around happy
people, right? Not these brooding guys who are forever in a mood.
3. BE ACTIVE
& INTERESTING
If your
profile picture isn't going to showcase you just chilling with a cute smile,
then make sure you're doing something in the photo that tells potential
partners that you're fucking awesome. It's an easy way to showcase your
personality as well. Like rock climbing? Take a picture of yourself doing it?
Like playing tabletop board games? Take a picture. You want to find a guy who
has the same interests, right? A profile pic showcasing your hobbies is a great
way to do just that.
4. NO FRIEND
ZONE
Okay, let me
explain this one. You can totally have pictures of your friends within your
profile but not as the featured photo. No one wants to investigate and play
Where's Waldo when it comes to who they're swiping on. Just put yourself as the
main attraction and leave pictures with your friends and family elsewhere.
5. UTILIZE
YOUR TAGLINE
Every dating
app has a place where you can put a bio or rather, a quick tagline to get
someone interested. Remember when we said this is your ad? Think of every great
product to have ever existed. What did they all have in common? Amazing
taglines that made their marketing pop.
6. INSPIRE
CONVERSATION
You can also
be engaging with your tagline and/or bio. Don't just put, "If you like
what you see, DM me." No, that's lazy and something a total Fuck Boy would
do. Instead, mention something interesting about yourself but don't tell the
whole story, so that when they message you - they can ask about it. Give off a
sense of mystery without being weird about it. For example, I would say
something like, "I once sprained my ankle running for the ice-cream man.
You'll have to hit me up to see if I got the sweet treats." Something as
simple as that will suffice.
7. MAKE THEM
LAUGH
Don't let
anyone tell you that they aren't as turned on by a funny man as they are a guy
with a Greek God bod. So have fun with your profile, especially if you are a
silly guy.
8. BAN
NEGATIVITY
Lastly, don't
go listing the things you don't like or aren't interested in. Instead, put what
you love and enjoy doing.
