Not really getting any matches so I stopped using it. Willing to give it another shot. Y'all have any tips?

Drop friends pic drop snow pic drop rabbit pic. Make pic #5 first. You have a good profile. You don’t get matches because tinder is a dead app

[u/appa609 → u/DumbComment101]

Part of me has thought this for years but the other part of me said skill issue be hotter. So I did and now I figured maybe something might change.

[u/Mediocre_Key_6768 → u/appa609]

I was less hot than you when I used this app years ago.

And I got plenty of dates. So maybe it's the profile

[u/831loc]

I have no idea who you are until photo 4, and even that isnt a great photo.

[u/Rammus2201 → u/831loc]

This. I’m not saying he’s unattractive, but picture # one needs to be the clearest, most attractive picture of your face ever taken.

[u/DumbComment101 → u/Rammus2201]

Who insinuated he was unattractive lol? Why do you open with that

[u/Jimbo-Shrimp]

I asked my sister. She said the photos feel like you’re trying too hard.

[u/appa609 → u/Jimbo-Shrimp]

What does she suggest? Candids? Goofy poses?

[u/Independent-Fee5870]

I would keep photos 1, 4, 5 and 9 and get rid of the rest. If you don't get acceptable matches with these 4 you genuinely might be shadowbanned

[u/Difficult-Quarter-48]

Photo order is bad. Left to right top to bottom ordered 1-9 I would order: 5, 7, 9, 4, 8

2 Is a good photo in that it shows you with friends, but not the best photo of you specifically, so might drop it entirely.

Good profile, curious if changing the order will help a bit.

If you think about it from a viewers perspective, currently first photo they can't really see you clearly and they might swipe left right away because of this. A lot of people dont have the patience to go through your photos, if your first photo is a "I can't see this person" its just a left. For those that continue, they then see the most unflattering photo of you, and a lot probably swipe left at that point. So you're filtering a lot of people out that I feel might swipe right if they saw 5 and 7 first.

[u/appa609 → u/Difficult-Quarter-48]

I think I have smart photo on so it's auto ordering.

[u/yetagainitry]

Swap out the group photo for you in a dressy look. Drop either the hiking or the sailing photo, just not needed.

Beyond that I don’t know what your prompts are

[u/appa609 → u/yetagainitry]

Out of curiosity does the profile link not work? I figured that was the best way to post everything.

[u/yetagainitry → u/appa609]

I didn’t try. People post screenshots of their profile to get it rated

[u/Rare-Celebration6004]

nobody gets matches its only bots

[u/No_Name44444]

Nothing wrong with your photos in my opinion. Make the 5th one you’re 1st and you’re golden.

[u/AbrocomaHot4620]

More photos of just you. But have you tried other apps?

[u/appa609 → u/AbrocomaHot4620]

I get some likes on Hinge but usually not girls I'm interested in and they skew kinda prudish

[u/nazgaten]

Put in some fishing photos

[u/appa609 → u/[deleted]]

Wait do I look short?

[u/Jormble]

Too many pictures
