As the great minds in “Spinal Tap” once said, “it’s a fine line between stupid and clever.” How much time and thought you spend putting together your dating app profile can end up being the difference between a “right swipe” and a “left swipe.” Here are the eleven things, ranked, that make women feel the undeniable urge to swipe right past a guy:
- Empty Bio –It’s a red flag to anyone that you’re hiding something or not proud of who you are. That’s your spot to make her curious…use it!
- Trying Too Hard –Conversely, big words aren’t all that impressive if you’re using them incorrectly. Keep it simple, interesting, and genuine. Funny never hurts, either.
- No Trying At All –Believe it or not, some guys just write “hookups” and think that’s going to do the trick. If it does, congrats…but get a medical history.
- Condescension –That whole “swipe left if you don’t like whatever” game just makes you look like a negative douche.
- Shirts –No matter how proud you are of your bod; you still look desperate without one.
- Filters/Captions –Unless it’s funny or relevant to something specific, they’re just weird and don’t do you any favors.
- Few Pics –If you’ve got other things on your profile to make up for the lack of photos, than it’s not a big deal. If you don’t, then having three or fewer pictures is a bad move.
- You –If your first profile pic features someone or something other than you, you’re messing up. Show off your friends or pet in the next one. Make yourself the star.
- Random Quotes –You can use a quote in your bio, as long as it’s accompanied by some of your own thoughts. Just using the quote by itself is pretentious and unoriginal.
- Emojis –You’re a guy. You don’t need emojis. Use words like a big boy.
- Smiles –While there’s not doubting the power of your smoldering stare, a pic with you smiling goes a whole lot further, making you look friendly and approachable.
