10 Rules For Finding Love On Tinder
1. Pick good photos
You want your photos to showcase your best right?. This means they are good, but realistic.
2. Be very upfront about what you want
If you’re only looking to hookup then you don’t have to worry about stating what you want, though if you’re looking for a Real Relationship you want to make that clear as soon as possible. There’s a big chunk of people on Tinder that aren’t looking for that, so you want to weed them out before you get sucked into someone.
3. Ask the person you’re talking to what they are looking for
Its vital to know what to expect from the other person.
4. Don’t waste time on what you don’t want
So you meet a hunk, cool person who you want to hang out with, but you know he isn’t long term material.
5. Don’t be afraid of having a bad first date
Bad first dates do happen.
6. Always Keep an open mind
Think about the opposite sex friends you have in real life. Go on Facebook and look at a few of their pics, would you swipe right? Tinder is 95% based on looks and initial attraction, you still need to interpret that loosely.
7. DONT SWIPE RIGHT ON FACELESS AB PHOTOS
They are not looking for love! that I promise!
8. Don’t swipe right on everyone
Some say it’s best to swipe right on every single person because you can amass matches as quickly as possible. The problem with this is that your inbox because extremely cluttered to the point that it’s un-navigatable. You’ll miss messages from people because Tinder’s inbox feature sucks and sends you a “message” every time you match with someone and real messages can get buried. Plus, it’s just bad karma. Don’t waste people’s time, don’t waste your own time.
9. Be OK with letting a hot person get away
People who are just looking to hook up will compliment you and seem promising, but you know what they want even if you don’t want to admit it to yourself. You have to be OK watching them walk away for this to work.
10. Remember the kind of person you’re trying to attract, and also act accordingly
Always keep in mind on what kind of a person you are looking for. at the same time dont settle for less than what you want.
