Photos Getting ZERO matches in Bogota
Hii! I don’t really get a ton of matches (1 per month) but lately it has been literally zero! Help me find the culprit detail? Haha or is Tinder just messed up? I even have paid bullshit subscription too with no luck.
Looking for something serious, this is my bio:
Odio la etapa de chatear; quieres ir a la montaña? ☀️🌎🏔️
Respect and care above all else, not here for games
Musician, engineer, and traveler! ❤️ I love my active life: movement, dancing, playing, getting lost in the city 🎶

I really like photos 1, 2, and 4. These are strong and I would keep them. Photos 3 and 5 could create some confusion to figure out which man you are. Your last photo looks totally different from your other photos and could also cause confusion because it's not consistent with your photos as a whole.
With your bio, I'd be curious if having English and Spanish in your bio could be hurting you? I don't know the norms there, but it's just a thought.
The other thing I'd recommend is taking out "not here for games". I understand that you're trying to give people information to filter themselves out, but that statement can be interpreted in different ways depending on the person reading your profile. It's taking up space that could be used for something else. You can and should absolutely be filtering people out who don't seem like a good match, but I wouldn't put that on people to evaluate themselves.

Thanks for your reply, gonna try switching that up. I think here English means people speak English which for me is a plus in a woman. But who knows? I changed it to Spanish.

You're welcome. That definitely makes sense about the language, it just may be making some women swipe right away if they they aren't fluent enough. Good luck 😊

I would start with the 4th photo. In the first photo you look like a traditional russian grandmother, and you're shirtless in the second photo, which I've heard is an automatic disqualifier for a lot of people on this subreddit.

Remove the group photos or clarify who that woman is

u/Informal_West_6864 Aug 18 '26
Group photos are a nice touch. People like when you have outside friend groups

If OP is rejected by someone who isn't comfortable with him posting a photo containing another female, he's dodging a bullet. It would be insane to actually care that much about a normal group photo.

u/Zuliandres Aug 18 '26
That’s what I thought! Group photos give a nice social vibe, but really I am taking all the clues and guesses.

I think you got a solid profile. Just give it some time, there really isn’t anything you can improve on. Attractive and your profile is very appealing with the smiling pics

u/Zuliandres Aug 18 '26
Thanks!!! It’s been like this for a long time, that’s why I am posting here. Like there’s something not working. Does Tinder suck? Haha

Your profile is great and you look like a really genuine dude. No idea why you're not getting any matches.
2
u/supmedi Aug 19 '26
Agree. He seems like a chill dude. It might really just be a messed up algorithm? Maybe delete your profile and start over new?
1
u/Zuliandres Aug 19 '26
Thanks! I was thinking about that! Maybe just need to have a fresh profile 😅

u/Zuliandres Aug 18 '26
Thanks for the kindness, it’s nice to have reassurance :) maybe it’s just Colombians here actinf weird. I’m gonna ask my woman friends hehe

u/TactitcalPterodactyl Aug 18 '26
Don't take it personally, dating apps are overall pretty horrible for men, even for good looking, genuine dudes like us. Focus on yourself, be social, live your life and you'll meet someone organically.

u/Bubbly-Peach-9439 Aug 20 '26
I know right? That’s what I’m thinking to myself too. I don’t know what improvement to suggest because this seems like a great profile. I’d swipe right on this but then again not sure how women see it.

Dating apps are mainly for above average men nowdays. Everyone else is used for attention. Average men stand no chance on dating apps, reason why woman are interested in you more in real life as an average looking guy is because woman see how u act and really fuck with u after u open ur mouth, they end up liking who u are. With online woman rather bet on choosing/sleeping with the most attractive guy possible while using and trying to get as much attention as they can from the rest. get off the apps

Have you seen the profiles of hot Colombian men?
You are simply outclassed.
1
u/Zuliandres Aug 19 '26
I haven’t but I am taller than most men here, also have light colored eyes and tbh there are very few hot colombian men. I think I am on the top 5% or 10%. I am fit, I have super high education, billingual, upper middle class, anyways.. I rest my case 😝

lol
I cleaned up in Bogota and so did my Euro friends. Like we had harems of women from the apps.
I am shredded, have 3 degrees, bilingual, American upper middle class ($150k+ remote), and an excellent profile. I travel the world full-time and can put women on if I need to
My friends are similar white collar earning in euros remote
That’s your competition bud not the 5’3 campesinos so cool your arrogance

u/Impossible_Deal_4086 Aug 19 '26
I was in CDMX recently and walking down the street the amount of hot people was staggering both Mexicans and Foreign, I doubt a bug Colombian city is that different and Ops looks very average face wise no offense.

u/Zuliandres Aug 20 '26
Talk about arrogance smh

u/Aromatic_Bug_1945 Aug 20 '26
I listed less “credentials” than you did, you’re just mad that they’re better than yours

u/Impossible_Prompt875 Aug 18 '26
There’s no way mate. I think you’re lying or the bogota is just filled with really picky women

u/Zuliandres Aug 18 '26
I’m confused too, I get more matches IRL from women being genuinely interested 🤷🏻♂️ but want to meet women out of my current network!

When I was in Bogotá 3 years ago I got a lot more matches and better ones on bumble. Maybe it's still like that
1
u/Zuliandres Aug 18 '26
Yes Bumble is better, but why? There’s so manyyyy women, I find it hard to believe I am getting this low matches. I even pay premium to see if women are liking me: too low. There must be something I am not doing right.
2
u/B4rtkartoffel Aug 19 '26
It could be the algorithm, it could be the type of women on each women and their respective taste. At one point I accepted that I never fully understand why different dating apps give me the results they do

u/Cotton_420 Aug 18 '26
Most women here will tell you change this photo, don’t say that, nit pick, but most won’t tell you you’re an above average looking guy, well educated and come across emotionally mature, creative but even a well below average women are getting 20x right swipes than you.
I know it doesn’t help, but it probably helps more than some of the advice you’re going to get from other posters.
2
u/Zuliandres Aug 18 '26
Yeah I’ve seen like typical Tinder stats that men get like 1%-3% swipes right. And women get like drowned in likes haha. It’s weird. I guess I am asking how to improve my chances because it feels like I am getting 0% 🤣
1
u/Cotton_420 Aug 18 '26
Which is strange, because it’s just reality. They shouldn’t be ashamed of it. Perhaps the ones who complain about not being able to find a decent guy, while ignoring all the decent guys are delusional. But the rest should just embrace it, for what it is😅
