We know you’ve been told not to smile in photos. Not only are dogs adorable and cuddly, seeing you with a dog in your Tinder pic makes women think you are probably a stand-up, responsible man who can take care of something beyond himself. I know it sounds cliche and all, but it’s just scientific fact that most women really, really, really, really like dogs. You can even take great, non-selfie Tinder pics at home alone if you’re careful about it. To get non-selfie Tinder pictures, grab a friend to take some pics around your town or doing activities you’re into. And selfies are totally void of anything a woman would find attractive about a guy. An average man can look unattractive or very attractive based on the story his photo tells, and the personality traits it displays. Women tend to base their attraction to guys on WAY more than physical features. Not only do selfies distort your features, they also do a terrible job showing a high-value personality in Tinder photos. Look, it may seem like only male models get right-swiped, but even the Chaddiest Chads get overlooked when their Tinder pictures are lame (or even mediocre).Įven as an average-looking guy, you can set yourself apart from the pack by optimizing your Tinder pictures. Your Tinder pictures are - in all likelihood - the only thing standing between you and more matches than you know what to do with.
