Hot take: most guys on dating apps are losing on the prompts, not the photos

I know everyone says photos are everything. And yeah, they matter. But I've seen decent photos completely killed by prompts that say absolutely nothing.

"Looking for my partner in crime." "Love to travel." "Ask me anything." These tell me nothing about you as a person.

The guys who seem to actually get traction are the ones whose prompts feel like a real human wrote them. Not a LinkedIn bio.

Helped a friend redo his Hinge profile last week. The results surprised me.

My friend had been on Hinge for months, barely any matches. I sat with him for like an hour, just rewrote his prompts and swapped out two photos.

Within a week he texted me saying he had more conversations going than the entire last three months combined.

No idea if it was the photos or the prompts honestly. Probably both. But it made me realise how much small changes can shift things. Has anyone else done a full profile reset and noticed a difference?

How to get matches without following Rule 1 and Rule 2

In a dating world where guys have it tough, an average profile is an instant left swipe. A guy especially needs to have great pictures where he is showcasing his A-quality photos, picture perfect bios, and conversation sparking prompts.
Miss any one of these and it becomes a left swipe immediately.

We mostly focus on getting the best photos and rightly so. But we ignore the bios and prompts majorly.
The best way to get matches if you do not follow Rule 1 and 2 is: to focus on the latter bit. Not everyone is looking for a handsome hunk. Some are looking for fun, meaningful interactions along the way too. And what better way to showcase it than your bios and prompts?

Does not mean you put in a dirty mirror selfie and a naked gym pic and expect matches to magically appear. Have some good pictures of yourself put out, something that shows your personality. You will get a thousand rejections. But 1 right swipe is all we need :)

I believe in you! 👑
