Dating apps are inherently superficial.
So are we as human beings.
Dating apps amplify how superficial we are as human beings.
That reality has hit you over the course of the last 2 weeks.
You have gotten 0 matches.
That isn’t the result you were looking forward to when you decided to sign up on dating apps.
Now you are wondering whether you are really that ugly.
You are not alone in this.
There are a legion of people who are hit with the reality of human superficiality when they sign up on dating apps.
And yes, several of them receive next to no matches either in the ensuing weeks that follow.
The superficiality of dating apps has so much to do with the reality that people are judging you based on the photos you have posted on your dating profile.
It’s akin to looking through a brochure and turning the page when nothing on the page captures your attention.
Don’t take it personally.
We are all superficial to varying degrees, including yourself.
Now that I hope I have given you some consolation, here is the reality of your situation.
To get matches on dating apps, you must have excellent photos on your dating profile.
Too often, guys are far too lazy in the nature of the photos they post to their dating profiles.
A fuzzy photo of yourself in your backyard isn’t leaving a good impression on any potential match that views your dating profile.
A photo of you lounging in your living room, looking relatively bored, isn’t scoring any points with a girl that views your dating profile.
A photo of you in a group of people is making any girl that views your dating profile confused and frustrated in not knowing which person in the photo you are.
A photo of you taking a selfie through your bathroom mirror, makes a girl who views your dating profile think that you are boring and were too lazy to take a proper photo.
To reiterate, the photos you post on your dating profile are extremely critical.
They have to be well done for you to have any shot at getting matches.
Use photos that are taken in good lighting.
Focus on using photos that show you involved in an activity.
Instead of posing for the camera in all your photos, have your photo taken as you are participating in an activity you love.
What are your favorite pastimes?
Do you love to travel, camp, hike, bike, kayak, swim, scuba dive, etc.
Use photos of you indulging in these activities.
This makes you so much more interesting to a girl that views your dating profile.
It gives your life so much dimension and richness.
A girl that sees photos in this vain in your dating profile envisions what it is like to be alongside you doing these activities too.
This personalizes you, making you interesting and fun.
Women are mentally stimulated by what they see, especially when they are compelled to use their imaginations to further enhance that initial impression.
Posting photos where you appear to have an active lifestyle entices her to imagine a world where she gets to be with you as you perform in those activities, or partake in them too.
These are photos you use in the body of your dating profile.
Your primary photo is the first one she sees.
It’s vital you get it right as well.
Use a primary photo that is shot in good lighting, with your face a few feet from the camera so that your entire face is captured at a safe enough distance that she isn’t looking up at the hairs inside your nostrils.
Smile.
Don’t overdo it.
Smile at the camera naturally and show some teeth.
Women love primary photos where men smile enough for them to see that he has beautiful teeth.
Yes, women are attracted to good teeth.
That’s it.
Take these measures with your photos right away and you spend the next 2 weeks getting substantially more matches.
