Dating Apps: Your Profile Might Be a Red Flag

Speaking from the perspective of someone who has seen a lot of dating app profiles, there are quite a few "silent swipe-left triggers" that people don't even realize they have. Today, I'll list the most common examples.

1. No full-body photos

Having only close-up face photos is very common. Women will be wary, thinking, "If I can't see their body type, are they hiding something?" Please, definitely include at least one full-body photo that looks clean and presentable.

2. The bio ends with just "Nice to meet you"

If your bio is just a greeting with zero information, honestly, people will just scroll past it. If you include things like your hobbies, how you spend your days off, and your line of work (the industry is fine, no need for details), it creates a conversation starter.

3. Showing off cars, watches, or money too aggressively

It comes across as "trying too hard" instantly, and it actually turns people off. Photos that convey "this person seems easy to be around" or "seems easy to talk to" get a much better response.

4. Too much filtering, or only one dark photo

Over-edited photos lead to an immediate "game over" when the gap between the photo and reality is revealed upon meeting. Conversely, having only one dark selfie is also a huge disadvantage. A photo taken in natural light where you are smiling gets the best response.

(2) Things you can do starting today

You don't need to redo all your photos and your bio right this second. First, just try doing this one thing: "add one full-body photo". There are quite a few people who have seen their response rates change just from that. Next time, I'll write about the moments when women think, "Oh, this is a turn-off," while using LINE. Mana🎀
