Tinder Secrets?

[Butters]

What is the thing for Tinder that gives you the highest leverage in 2026 as a male? My results have always been abysmal and I don't know why. I once asked a cute girl and showed her my Tinder profile and she got upset saying I look really handsome IRL, implying that my pics were bad or misleading. I've always been bad at this stuff, but at the same time don't care enough to make better pictures.

i think everybody's moved on from Tinder and dating apps in general for quite a while.

it's also not really your fault that you're not doing well on there  - that's pretty much built into the system. you can find videos explaining that on YouTube.

I want to test a hypothesis. Are you down to make it public? I can help.

@ButtersUse AI, upload your face and then have it pose for you.

You mean share my profile on here? Hell no 😂

@Hojo oh shit you're right, I forgot about that. I remember literally thinking a few months ago: "dating apps must be terrible now because of Ai, I definitely won't use them again". Then I started to travel and voila.

Let's assume you have 6 pics to fill up on Hinge/Bumble (probably the best two dating apps in most places) then a good template for a profile is something like this:

• Pic 1: Professional or high quality photo of yourself with a clear view of your face (this should be the only staged pic, the rest should be natural or it will likely end up look like a LinkedIn profile unless you really know what you're doing)
• Pic 2: Full body shot of you doing something cool or interesting
• Pic 3: Group pic where you look confident and sociable
• Pic 4: Another shot of you doing something cool or interesting
• Pic 5: Another group shot where you look confident and sociable, ideally with a different group of people
• Pic 6: Cute/funny/hot pic, basically a wildcard photo where you can express some personality, humour, or show off more of your good looks if you have them. If you have a nice body, show it off here but in a non-douchey way e.g. a beach pic

Bio/prompts should be something short and witty, and they should encourage a girl to swipe right or ask you about something. It helps if the bio ties into one of your pics. In my case I have a pic of me holding a giant rat in my profile and my bio is "Yes that's a giant rat I'm holding, it's a cool story and you should ask me about it"

You don't have to follow this template exactly, but it's a solid starting point.

This should give you a clear idea of what a good profile looks like and what you’re lacking. 

Good looks don’t help much if you come across as boring in your pictures.

No. You don't need to share your profile here.

You just need to create a new profile following rules that I think will improve your results. 

I want you to share your results.

Yes I'm game, share! 

Can I just use the same profile though? It's maybe 2 weeks old. 

But if it's close to what's shared here above, I think I got enough to go with and just AI the pictures with my face as suggested.

As I mentioned before, this is just an experiment to test some hypotheses. We'll run the experiment with no expectations of getting dates.

The goal is to get matches and make the algorithm recommend your profile to more people over a long time. Whether women will go out with you or not is a matter of how you handle them after the match.

1. If you have an account, delete it. If you don't have one, create a new one. You won't need a premium account. I want you to make a free account and not spend any money.
2. Write only your first name.
3. Photos: You need to be genuine, real and honest. I want you to use 9 photos. Put two photos of yourself (decent ones, no need for professional photos. Be minimally groomed, whether it's a selfie or something somewhat polished.) The other 7 photos will be of your hobbies, books, interests, memes, curiosities about you. You don't need to appear in the other 7 photos. I use photos of books, places I've been, personal artifacts (moon lamp), photos I've taken. Show your hobbies and personality beyond your personal photos.
4. Description: Write about your college degree/profession if applicable, talk about your passions related to the photos. (examples: I like to meditate, run, travel, meet new people, sing at karaoke, skate, etc.)
5. Write the city where you live.
6. Use a photo of a hobby or your favorite book as the main photo. Don't put your face photo as the main one. The idea is to intrigue women, show that you're different and not playing the beauty game. You're offering something different and unique. You're being 100% vulnerable, showing your hobbies, tastes, lifestyle, what you really find interesting beyond beauty.
7. Set the maximum distance and age range. (Remember, this is an experiment. The idea is to make the algorithm see you as someone worth showing to the maximum number of people.)
8. Like all women, ALL of them. Regardless of beauty or age. We want to test how far your profile can go with these tips. Don't judge. Don't judge. Just follow the experiment. You DON'T need to talk to the women you don't find interesting.
9. Talk with woman you really like.
10. Share your results here.

Just to clarify. I did 4 accounts doing the same steps mentioned. I got +90 matches in all of them with different girls. Yes, +360 matches.

I want to see what this is all about. Am I a chad? I don't know.
