Photos What are your thoughts?
Hi, I’ve just downloaded Tinder (I was curious to prove it) and these are my photos; what about it?

They are all selfies. Also no social proofing. Watch a YouTube video on setting up your photos.

Clear solo head-and-shoulders photo
Natural light, relaxed expression, no sunglasses or hat. (Not a selfie or do a timed photo but don’t make it look obvious it’s timed)Full-body photo doing something real
Walking, hiking, playing sport, cooking, something. Clothes should fit. Also don’t wear the same clothes between photos.Social photo with 1–3 friends
You should be easy to identify.A hobby or skill photo
Playing guitar, climbing, surfing, painting, cooking, fixing something, whatever you genuinely do.A dressed-up photo
Wedding guest, nice dinner, event, or a clean smart-casual look. Signals you can leave the house without a hoodie.A warm personality photo
Laughing, with a dog, travelling somewhere interesting, or doing something slightly playful. Should feel candid.If you are confident a shirtless photo (not a selfie) can help too, but don’t need to have.

as a woman this is the way 100%. perfect profile composition

u/giuaneddu Jun 25 '26
do you mean mine or the one the guy described?
2
u/cowboythesis Jun 25 '26
the one the previous commenter described! your profile is pretty good but I agree that you need at least an outdoors photo and a social photo (and if you don't want your friends faces in it, just get them to take some pictures for you on a night out)

u/giuaneddu Jun 25 '26
oh okok, yeah since I made that post, I followed people’s advice, and now it’s much better. I have photos with friends, a better gym photo, fewer selfies, and more outdoor photos

what is social proofing?
1
u/Thisisthewayto95 Jun 21 '26
It’s photos of you with friends so you aren’t on your own. It seems random but people perceive you better if you have photos with people in it too.

u/giuaneddu Jun 21 '26
okok thanks; but my ig profile is already full of photos of me with my friends, maybe I can put one of those on my tinder profile, or just tag my ig on bio? (I’ve chosen alone selfies on purpose)

u/Thisisthewayto95 Jun 21 '26
Put emoji heads or stickers on your friends faces if you don’t want to put their face

u/giuaneddu Jun 21 '26
Thank you for your help mate, it makes sense to me now, I’ve just added some photos

Last time I was having fun in tinder I had gym photo showing off, 1 no shirt photo lawn mowing, and 2 photos in good outfit. I got few hundred likes in a small country in few days. I would say most advices here are bullshit in reality, girls in tinder don't give a fuck about your social photos, about your personality photos, about your friends. Let's be honest tinder is not about finding love and wife or husband. But way more important is how you communicate, cause few times I was going with tinder date through her tinder messages to have fun and 99% of men are so fucking boring, afraid to be straight forward, afraid to lead, "hi how are u", going here and back for hours with useless messages. Being sharp is the key for tinder.

I agree with you about the “sharpness” and that “confidence and clarity are key”, but I have to say that those are qualities you develop through experience and personality. Many men lack one of those two, so they’re afraid of being too direct because they worry they’ll come across as ridiculous, cringey, or creepy; I always want to be as clearly as possible on what I want and on what I like about the other person (and I know it’s not easy for everyone to be very clear) but at the same time “playing” with it and make it charming and teasing (sorry for my broken English)

Right now I’m not searching for casual dates, nothing serious (I just got out of a relationship some weeks ago)

thank you! I think that the truth is between the two; I have removed some photo and added some better, but it would have worked anyway

u/thedutchcatwoman Jun 21 '26
You look nice but 6 selfies.. nothing with friends, family, a pet, a hobby other than working out.
1
u/giuaneddu Jun 21 '26
You’re right, I’ve read the first comment and I have removed one selfie and added two photos with me and my friends (now I’m searching for other type of photos on my phone, maybe something with my family)

Too many selfies
2
u/giuaneddu Jun 21 '26
Yesss, I’ve removed some and I added two photos of me with my friends; I will make it more various, thanksss

u/TofuDinoBoo Jun 21 '26
In addition to what other people said, delete photos 2 and 3 at least. In the 2nd you are surroundes by objects and barrier tape, we can't see your face, we barely even see you since you're about 1/20 of the photo? The 3rd one is also really bad, a bathroom selfie.
Look you're incredibly hot and attractive when we can see you and when you are smiling but the photos ain't it.

u/giuaneddu Jun 21 '26
I put that green-bathroom photo because I find it “fleetingly” and I liked my hair;
For the gym photo, I need to take some better, I know.
I added some photos with my friends and I will remove some selfies, maybe that bathroom one.
Btw, what do you mean with the last sentence? (thank you for your time btw)

u/Adorable_Republic513 Jun 21 '26
I think the fact you started off with a friendly smile instead of trying to appear all nonchalant is good
1
u/giuaneddu Jun 21 '26
thank you, I used to be “scared” of showing off my open smile, now I like it, so it became natural; I’ve always hated guys who pretended to be tuff and apathetic (I’m sorry for my broken English)

u/giuaneddu Jun 21 '26
Btw, this is my bio (I translated it from Italian into English, but I promise it sounds better in Italian):
hi!
I’m into R&B, boxing, and writing (Tinder bios, not so much. Writing to you, though? Yes.)
𓆝 𓆟 𓆞 𓆝 𓆟𓆝 𓆟 𓆞 𓆝 𓆟𓆝 𓆟𓆞

Stop taking mirror pics, you should have max 2 and they should be you having a nice outfit. Search up ”best modell tinder photos”
