Now this usually leads to a lot of folks complaining about how this means most guys are shit out of luck and we’re back to the whole 80/20 thing again. You want your photos, especially the first couple that a potential match sees to be SHARP. People are gonna look at your pictures first and then check your text, so you want to make sure you’re putting your best face forward. Your dating app profile is how you’re introducing yourself to literally thousands of strangers and while some of the photos you posted to Facebook may be good for you and your friends, they tend to make a really poor first impression for people you want to date.Īnd if we’re being real here, dating apps, even more profile-forward ones, are primarily a visual medium. The first is that it makes your profile look sloppy at best, or begrudging at worst, like you can’t believe you have to lower yourself to be here.Īnd honestly, it’s 2020, it’s time to stop pretending you’re too good to be on OKCupid.īut the bigger problem is that this creates a poor picture of who you are. The problem with this approach is two-fold. But let’s be real, you never have, have you. Oh sure, they say they’ll get back around to revising things.
They bang out the account without really thinking about it, grab a few photos they liked from their Facebook account - especially since that’s usually the only ones they have - and then call it a day.
This is an interesting one because it ties into a LOT of issues guys have with dating apps - usually in the context of why women aren’t responding to their Tinder profiles.Ī lot of guys tend to blame that on women being too picky or having all the power or the rather thoroughly debunked 80/20 horseshit, but aside from the different ways that men and women use swiping apps like Tinder - something we talked about in a previous episode I’ve linked to it in the description - is that a lot of guys treat online dating as a sort of slop-and-go situation.
