Super Swipeable

Some people seem to be flooded with matches while other people get zilch. Are you one of those people who’s not getting enough attention? Andie and Duckie help you tune your dating profile like a pro! Get tips to make you super swipeable so that you are a hard YES for anyone lucky enough to see you in their feed. Which photos should you use in your dating profile? What should you write about yourself (and what to leave out) so that your dating profile catches the attention you want. Also: we review the dating app Open. Show notes and links Photo Dos and Don'ts Use your most attractive pics (Duh, but so many people miss this!) Primary photo has to be well-considered No group shots Don’t put hot people in your photos No silly filters (Bumble just added these, ugh!) You can only look goofy if you’re really hot Show your personality with active life shots (bathroom selfies = 💩) Include at least 1 full-body shot, flattering angle/light/clothes Smile, even a little (some people look angry and grim) Show off your best feature (thirst trap) Text Dos and Don'ts Don’t lead with a list of don'ts (like we just did in this list! Listing your turn-offs is a turn-off). Lead with what you’re looking for instead Remember the 3 Ps - Positive, Punctuated, Personal Don’t waste space saying things like “No Scammers” Duh! No cliches (partner-in-crime 🤮) It’s okay to be a grandma but that shouldn’t be your headline! Saying “No Drama” = I AM DRAMA Don’t emphasize characteristics that aren’t sexy (hard-working) - this isn’t LinkedIn!
