Before you join a dating app, be aware of what to expect so that you don’t find yourself prematurely quitting online dating altogether before getting the results you want.

Having any luck on dating apps is contingent on your readiness to learn from where other men go wrong.

A popular complaint from plenty of men who use dating apps is that they barely receive matches.

Scarily, several of these men complain they receive none.

Listen, this is a reality on dating apps that you must be mindful of.

None of this means that you are destined to experience the same fate.

There are men who have success receiving matches online, and several of them end up going on dates and even finding girlfriends.

That said, keep in mind that online dating apps are a visual platform.

Given that these women don’t know you as a person, they are inclined to judge you based on what you look like.

A massive mistake that so many men make on dating apps is that of posting lackluster photos on their dating profiles.

Some of the most egregious of these are photos of them taking selfies in their bathrooms.

Never do this.

These are photos that simply kill any chances you have to receive matches.

Besides selfies taken in a bathroom, photos where you are in a group of people, under poor lighting, at too far of a distance, and too close to the camera are huge blunders.

So many of the men who have bad luck on dating apps would do so much better if they took the time to post much better photos on their dating profiles.

Women are all about photos.

This is constantly proven by how dominant they are on social media.

Women dominate the social media space, with many taking as many as a dozen or more photos a day to keep their social media stories thriving.

Men are nowhere close to this.

Some men don’t even remember the last time they took a solo photo.

If this is you, this has to change.

To avoid the bad luck that a multitude of men have faced on mobile dating apps, you must have excellent photos on your profile.

Before signing up on dating apps, take the time to get a number of excellent photos taken.

The photos that work the best with women on dating apps are those that trigger their imagination and make them ask subconscious questions.

Take travel, for instance.

Women love travel.

When you take photos of yourself at an exotic and interesting travel location, women who see your profile are not only excited about these colorful and adventurous photos, but they are also asking subconscious questions such as:

Where did you take this photo?

What gorgeous structure is in the background behind you?

What ocean are you parasailing on?

What country are you in?

When you use photos that not only excite a woman’s imagination but also compel her to ask subconscious questions, you force her to stop on your profile instead of being so swipe-happy.

Yes, women on matchmaking dating apps are picky and swipe left almost instantly upon seeing a male profile.

The staggering reality is that women on dating apps generally swipe left, rejecting a profile at an extremely high rate, at around 85% to 95% of the time.

This means they only “swipe right,” as in like a profile, on roughly 4% to 15% of the profiles they see.

You see, as a man, you are already at a disadvantage based on the frequency with which women swipe left on male profiles.

This is why the quality of your photos are severely pertinent.

When you post photos that make her stop, instead of almost certainly swiping left as she does with 85-95% of other male profiles, your chances of getting a right swipe are much stronger.

A well-planned-out photo strategy on dating apps changes your luck, setting you apart from most guys who have bad luck on them.
