When it comes to dating profiles, you want to make sure you're presenting the best version of you, and that includes photos, because your photos determine 90% of your success online.

I would say post no more than four photos because it's enough to really showcase who you are. Make sure your photos are clear and not grainy and that you can see your whole face and you're smiling and looking confident. You want to make sure you're presenting a warm and approachable image. When you're choosing photos, ask yourself, "Who am I trying to attract? What type of person?"

The most important thing when making a Tinder profile is to make a profile that represents your interests, lifestyle, and personality, and to be very clear about what you're looking for on the app: are you after a casual relationship? Something more committed? Say that.

That's something that a lot of people are afraid to do because they think it'll limit their matches, but when you leave it open, what happens is that you attract the wrong people. So when you're very clear about why are online, whether it's Tinder or other dating sites, that helps filter the people who are not right for you from messaging you and helps you attract those people who are really the right fit for you in terms of your goals and your vision for what you want in your life.

Def be clear about what you want cuz the number of times I've matched with a guy who wouldn't be up front about what he was looking for *eyeroll* it just wastes BOTH our time!!!! When it comes to photos just basically make sure you have photos that show what you currently look like, maybe photos where you're smiling and look friendly and open. Include a photo or two of you with your friends to show you're social and have a life, but make your opening photo just of you so nobody gets confused about who you are.

Be open about what you're looking for on your profile but otherwise I'd keep your profile pretty spare. Include one or two prompts that let you talk about yourself and showcase your personality (and come up with your own answers, don't just use recylced nonsense everyone uses), but in general I'd wait until you're in someone's DMs to get a little more personal, but even then I'd hold back and wait until you can meet in person to open up more.
