7 Ways To Maximize Your Hotness On Dating Apps

• Your First Pic Should Pop

  via Giphy

  That first visual impression is everything, ladies, and if you don't believe me, just ask yourselves this: what do I do when I see an awful profile come up? Of course, I'm not referring to the profile, since you haven't even read his bio yet. You've only noticed the horrendous angle of the selfie, the blurry quality, and the awful cropped image. If you're generous, you'll note his kind eyes, that twinkle that'll make you click, check him out some more, consider him as a "maybe". However, we're not that generous…so just put up your best photo as your first photo and save the squad pic for last.

• Ease Up On Those Filters

  The end goal here is to actually meet the guy(s) you're matching with, right? I wouldn't say "Don't set high expectations!" I'd say, "Don't set alternative expectations!" Filters don't make us look necessarily bad or worse, (depending on which we use of course), but they do alter our faces. Fine-tune a skosh if you must, but leave the heavy filters alone. It'll only worsen your dating app game AND your self-confidence.

• A Little Bit of This and That

  Your overall number of photos shouldn't be less than 3, but no more than 5. You want to give just enough, but also leave a healthy amount of mystery. And a keen reminder: bikini pics and mirror selfies from the gym are optional not optimal, no matter what social media will have you believe. As long as your images aren't more than 2 years old, it's fair to post them.

• A Smile Goes a Long Way

  None of us are Victoria Beckham or Kaia Gerber. We can't get away with the stern expression and expect every hot guy to fall madly in love with us because of it. So queens: bare those pearly whites. Just smile. It'll add a genuine flair to your character and hopefully your dream guy will see it and think Damn, better wife this one up!

• Spice Up Your Bio

  So, you want to seem approachable? Fun-loving? Like you've got life figured out somewhat and you're not a TOTAL social pariah? Aces! However, don't overdo it in the bio section. It shouldn't read like a novel nor should it consist of only emojis. And while we're at it, don't place "Live Laugh Love" or some arbitrary quote in the bio. It doesn't add a youthful innocence, it leaves the impression that you're a little naïve. Throw in something authentic: a couple of hobbies, what you value, a sly joke even, and a hint of what you're looking for.

• Talk that Talk

  OMG! So you matched with someone you really like and you've started talking. Now, the last thing you want to equate your dating life to is a job interview. And in some ways, it will be exactly that, but in most ways it shouldn't! Don't start off with the "what's your age, what do you do…" song and dance. Take your time, indulge in some humor first, find some commonality.

• Make the First Move

  It's 2022. He's sitting in your matches. You like him. He may just be perfect for you, but he isn't reaching out first. Just message him! No man these days is thinking twice about why you messaged first. You are not desperate. You are not impatient. You are a woman who knows what she wants and isn't afraid to step up first.
