I’ve Spent Months Learning What Girls on Dating Apps Seriously Look for in Profiles
Real effort leads to real matches.
Let me tell you something straight. The reason you are not matching isn’t because the apps are broken, or because of some tall guy thing, or because you’re too “nice.” It’s because your profile sucks.
I’m telling you this not as a jealous dude, but as someone who has spent months sourcing that out, through failures, trial-and-error, and awkward screenshots from women I’ve been out with.
And I wasn’t alone. I once shared my profile with a female friend, and a brutally honest one at that, and she laughed.
“Bro, what is this? A résumé for someone joining a union at a warehouse?”
I was dumbfounded. I thought I was presenting my best self: Ambiguous group shot, a blurry one with sunglasses on, a picture of me hiking 3 years ago.
My bio even said, “Just ask.”
She didn’t even swipe. She scrolled and sighed, and said, “This is why girls ghost.”
