Ultimate Tinder Roadmap - How to get more matches

Increase your Tinder matches by 4x (Use these tips wisely!) Follow this roadmap step by step for best results.

Introduction

I’m tired of seeing people shitting all over Tinder. If you do it right there is no easier way to meet women in my opinion. The ones shitting on it are the ones not having any success. I’ve seen people literally beg people to give them a chance, some even go as far as stalking someone they found on tinder in the hopes that them giving attention and devotion to their match outside of tinder would do the trick.

Here’s some proof

All these guys messaged a tinder date of mine her on Instagram, while she was in another man's bed. My bed.

Now if you see a girl you like on tinder and if you haven’t matched with her, chances are, you won’t match with her using Instagram either. And if you have matched but she’s ignoring your texts, it’s probably because your texting skills aren’t what she expected them to be or maybe she’s just too busy to respond. Of course, if you all of the chicks you match with seem too busy to reply, chances are, the problem’s in you mate, not with the app or the chick you matched with.

I on the other hand, have been successful at Tinder(and Bumble) for the past couple of years and in this blog post, I’ll show you how to achieve the same.

Steps to Game tinder

1. Step 1 - Understand The Ultimate Maxim of Tinder

   IF YOU ARE NOT GETTING MATCHES, ITS BECAUSE YOUR PICTURES SUCK. 100% of the time this is the case. It's not Tinder screwing you, it’s not Tinder trying to get you to pay for its Plus/Gold features.

   

   It’s not shallow women, it’s not women only on there for validation, it’s not a glitch, it’s not anything but the fact that your pictures are ass. Keep this in mind when you inevitably see someone shit on Tinder in the comments of this post or elsewhere.

2. Step 2 - Understand The Tinder ELO System and how it works

   Tinder uses an ELO rating system to "rate" each account to judge how attractive the account is based on their swiping and how they get swiped. Obviously, if your profile gets swiped right a lot, you'll have a higher rating, and vice versa. It's not just how people swipe you that determines your rating, but also how picky you are. If you are swiping right on everything, your rating will go down because when you do that you are swiping right on low rated profiles. If you are pickier and only swipe right on higher rated profiles, you'll have a chance for a better score, assuming you are getting swiped right a lot as well.

3. Step 3 - Know your competition

   One thing I recommend doing, if you have the time, is creating a fake Facebook account as a woman. Use it to make a Tinder account and select that you are interested in men. This way you can scroll through the profiles to see the men you will be competing with in your area.

   A general theory of Tinder is that for brand new accounts, you get a "noob boost", which means they are going to show you the higher ELO rated Tinder accounts first, and your profile will also be put toward the top of other user's stacks so they don't have to scroll through many profiles before seeing yours. This doesn't mean every single Tinder account in your stack that you scroll through will be high rated, because remember, there will also be new accounts in your initial stack who are also being boosted, many of which will suck.

   Why am I mentioning this noob boost? Because you can use this to scout your competition. The profiles you will be seeing when you do this are generally the profiles the attractive women will be seeing. That way you know what you need to do to beat the competition.

   For the sake of this post I went ahead and did this for my area(medium sized city). I scrolled through the first 100 male profiles and gave each profile a rating on picture quality(1 being shit, 5 being top tier) and attractiveness(1 being ugly, 5 being top tier) and then I flagged an account if they were not lean.

   Settings: Age 18-30, 30 mile radius.

   Results:

   Of the 100 profiles, only 3 of them had what I considered top tier pictures. Most were shitty selfies, bad quality pictures that had grainy or fuzziness in them, bad lighting, or bad poses. Lots of crappy gym selfies and mirror selfies. The average picture quality rating was 1.866 out of 5. That's bad, and shows you don't really need to do much to have better pictures than the rest.

   The average attractiveness rating was a 2.1, not much higher than the picture quality number. And this is supposedly contains the best profiles? I think a lot of the profiles I saw were "noob boost" profiles, no way they would be high rated. Either way, I only handed out a "5" to 4 profiles, that's 4%, and only handed out a 4 to 3 profiles. That means out of 100, only 7 were what I considered attractive enough profiles a woman would swipe right on.

   65 of the 100 profiles were not lean, 51 were overweight, and 32 were obese. Once again, shows how much impact being lean has.

   Average age was 20.9, but the average age of the profiles I gave a 3 or higher to was 24.6. Older guys seem to have a better grasp on this.

   Moral of this story? You really don't have a high bar to clear when it comes to having a top tier Tinder profile. Most guys Tinder profiles suck ass. All you need are good quality photos and to be lean to beat most Tinder profiles out there. Unless Tinder only shows the highest rated accounts to accounts who already have a proven high ELO score and still hides them even from noob boost accounts.

4. Step 4 - Yes, being attractive matters

   This is an app where people judge you on appearance. You think looks don't matter? They absolutely do. I am not saying this app is worthless for you if you are below a 7/10 in looks, but you have to reel in your expectations. Women on these apps are pickier than they are in real life, so if you are a 5/10, don't go in expecting to match with 8s or higher.

   Before dismissing Tinder and other apps all together, try to max out your looks first. Lose weight, get lean, lift, dress well, wear the right accessories, sport a good haircut/hairstyle, have a good facial care/skin care routine, and all of that. Doing all of this + taking good pictures will go a long way and can add points to your attractiveness.

   Tip: Your lead picture needs to be your best one. It needs to clearly show your face and your body, uncovered eyes(no sunglasses) with clothes on(no shirtless pics as your lead), by yourself(no group pics). Your last picture also needs to be a good one, as if a girl is swiping through your pics, will be her last impression before she decides to swipe right or left on you. Remember, she will judge you by your worst pic.

   1. I'm not going to post my profile, but here is a breakdown of my pictures:

      • 4 of 6 I am smiling

      • 3 of 6 I am looking at the camera

      • 2 of 6 I am wearing sunglasses

      • 5 of 6 are full body shots, head to toe

      • All are taken outside

      • No shirtless pics that I am currently using

5. Step 5 - Having a mysterious bio

   Think about it, what’s the best way to get people to text you? If you post something really absurd or something that sparks curiosity & intrigue
   A bio that makes a woman or man match with you just to ask you a question related to your bio will do half of the ork for you! You won’t even need to worry about making the first move.

   Take a look at my bio for instance 👇

   

   it’s not too try hard, simple enough really but it does beg the question, what are assault charges for?

   Want to see the responses?

   

   Received quite a few responses about my bio (70+ if i’m not wrong)

6. Step 6 - Swiping Right!

   Be picky. Only swipe right on girls that you are certain are who they are in their profile. Remember the rule: "If you got it, flaunt it". Girls live by this. If they have a good body, they will show it off.

   

   Difference between your DMs and my DMs is simple. I treat Tinder like a game, I play to win.

   If it looks like they are hiding something, they are. Read her profile, don't just look at her pics. Chances are you might like her pics, but then you look at her profile and it will state she is a single mom. Generally, if you have been swiping a while and have reached the point of the stack where all the girls are ugly, and then you come across one that is hot, chances are she is either a bot or single mom. Because legit hot girls who aren't single moms or don't have major red flags will never be that far down the stack.

   Being picky also helps your ELO score, which increases your chances of being shown at the top of the stacks of the more attractive women.

7. Step 7 - Tinder Gold

   Personally, I am a fan. I only recommend, however, using this on a month by month basis. I think it’s a good investment to use your first month. The queue which shows who has liked you is helpful and will help you gauge how good your pictures are. If it’s not filling up you have shitty pictures. Also the quality of girls liking you will also help you see what type of women is finding you attractive. Lastly it helps because it helps you ground yourself to reality. A lot of girls don't log into Tinder that much, so by seeing who has already liked you, you won't get your hopes up for girls in the stack who may or may not be active(Tinder hides profiles inactive more than 2 weeks).

8. Step 8 to 12 - You’ve Matched! Now what? *paid subscribers only*

   As successful as I am at this, I would still say only about 10% of women message me first(and many women who message you first will be bots if you were unable to detect them prior to swiping). You are going to have to do the initiation.

   Fuck that shit about message timing, when to message her, et….……………………………

   Conclusion and Final Thoughts

   1. Your approach if you are looking for hookups and your approach if you are looking for something more long term has to be different.

   2. It really is a numbers game. I know this sounds cliche but the more matches you get the more your odds are in favor of at least one working out. Tinder might seem like a lost cause if you only get 5 matches and none of them work out. But if you have 50 or 500 matches you're going to have matches that work out, it’s the law of averages.

   3. Don't get your hopes up on any one individual girl until you actually meet up with her in person.

   4. Don't match with a girl unless you are 100% certain she is who she is in her pictures. Read her entire bio and look at all her pics before matching to find red flags.

   5. Tinder Gold in my opinion is useful if you are already successful at Tinder, but it won't turn you from unsuccessful to successful.
