The Real Reason You're Not Getting Matches

80% of people use their WORST photo as their main photo.

You pick photos where you "look good." But your forced smile triggers instant rejection in people's brains.

Your match's brain spots fake smiles in 33 milliseconds - faster than conscious thought. Instant left swipe.

The fix: Use photos with genuine smiles

Genuine smiles get 3x more matches. Same person, different photo, completely different results.

Take New Candid Photos

If your current photos all score low (under 50), you need new photos.

How: Get a friend to take 20 photos while you're genuinely laughing. Tell a funny story. Watch a comedy. Be ACTUALLY happy, not posed.

3

Use Your Highest Scorers

Swap your main photo to your highest scoring one (ideally 65+). Use your top 6 scorers for your profile. Delete everything below 40.

FAQ: Not Getting Matches

Why am I not getting any matches on Tinder?

99% of the time it is your main photo. If your main photo has a forced smile (bathroom selfie, car selfie), your match's brain spots it in 33 milliseconds and swipes left. Test your photos above - if your main scores under 50, that is your problem.

Is it my bio or my photos?

Photos. 100%. People swipe based on photos first. They only read your bio AFTER they like your photos. If you are not getting matches, fix photos first, then optimize bio.

Should I get professional photos?

Usually no. Professional photos often look too polished and score lower than good candid photos. A friend taking 20 photos of you genuinely laughing will beat a $300 photoshoot 80% of the time.

How long until I see results?

If you swap to better photos (higher scores), you should see more matches within 24-48 hours. If you do not, then expand your search radius or adjust age range.

What if I change photos and still get no matches?

Then it might be: (1) Your search filters are too narrow, (2) You are shadowbanned (rare), or (3) Dating apps just are not active in your area. But 95% of the time, it is the photos.

Stop Guessing. Start Getting Matches.

Upload your photos. See your exact scores. Fix the problem. Get results.
