Dating apps are 100% one of those things you don't believe in until it works out for you. Like astrological signs, or working out. You might have to deal with a lot of BS before something realistically nice comes out of it. And, of course, it depends on what you're looking for. But really, many statisticians have shown that regardless of your goals, there are small adjustments you can make to your profile to make it more appealing, and certain phrases you really ought to ignore.

One brave man on Reddit shared his own personal piece of advice.

    Reddit user u/mcgarylj decided to share how he 'accidentally' realized a true key to being successful on Tinder: Exclamation Points!

    You might be thinking... but how? What's the catch? There must be more to this? Well, read on then!

    Rectangle - Alright, my goal here is to be as non-clickbait-y as possible, so l'm gonna divide this into CONTEXT and ADVICE.
    via u/mcgarylj

    First, he prefaces by saying he does not wish for his post to come across 'clickbait-y.' This post is both meant to be an interesting story as well as some kind of an advice column. However you feel about dating apps, this might be of interest to you!

  • 03
    Font - CONTEXT: I've been on dating apps largely unsuccessfully for.maybe 4 years? (at varying levels of interest and effort, in all fairness). The greatest frustration Thad was always matching with a girl, sending the first message, then never getting a response.

    Rectangle - This frustration was amplified by the fact that while I'm neither a stud nor a comedian, I'm generally a fairly attractive and reasonably funny guy (24M at the time of this post).

    Rectangle - About a month ago I deleted Tinder, hoping that a different app with a different reputation would work out better. The thing is, it did!

  • 06
    Rectangle - I got a handful of matches, and my first date from online in quite a while, but this story isn't about that.
    via u/mcgarylj
  • 07
    Font - At first I though it might have been the change in apps, but when I analyzed how I was communicating, I realized that I had changed two thing: on the new app (Hinge for anyone curious),
    via u/mcgarylj
  • 08
    Rectangle - I was excited to talk to new people, and critically Iwas messaging like I was excited to meet new people.
    via u/mcgarylj
  • 09
    Font - I noticed that there appeared to be far fewer people on Hinge in my area, so a little less than a week ago, I re-downloaded Tinder and created a new account. The rest of the story belongs in the ADVICE section, so here we go...

    Font - ADVICE: After downloading Tinder and creating a fresh new account, I decided to make a concerted effort to be excited when messaging new matches (easier for fellow extroverts, but hey, fake it until you make it). The difference was night and day.

    Rectangle - The change that prompted me to make this post are the responses. Literally the difference between "Hello." and "Hello!" has taken me from +50% non-responsive matches to what has so far been a 100% response rate.
    via u/mcgarylj

    Rectangle - It's getting difficult to keep up with all the conversations in between doing my day-to-day life stuff.
    via u/mcgarylj
  • 13
    Font - Now, a disclaimer, not all of the responses have been good, and not all the conversations have been fruitful, but the chances of achieving whatever goals you have on Tinder get a lot higher when you can break the conversation barrier much more consistently.
    via u/mcgarylj

    Rectangle - TLDR: Be excited! Use exclamation points!
