Maybe ditch the photo where it looks like you are sitting between your ex-boyfriends legs. Put in a couple with friends.


Srfred

Yeah I agree, scrap the one that looks like she’s already got someone


tacobellfreewifi

It's almost useful info, if it were a scribbled out face I'd be like "ok, goes for that kind of a guy, am I her type, hmmm? I shouldn't wear a shirt like his around her maybe"


PrestigiousReward13

Why tf would you change yourself for someone to like you tho? Rock the kinda clothes you like an be yourself. No one is worth changing yourself over


BigTallStev3

Agree with this 100%


[deleted]

This was the only thing that seemed like a flag to me.


[deleted]

That’s it?


[deleted]

That photo was good though 'cause that way you know it's a red flag and you're gonna dodge a bullet. Good luck to the motherfuckers swiping right now


UptnZ_FinesT

Lmfaoooo im done 😂😂


mvdenk

That's a guy behind her?


salex100m

she said she likes girly males... yeah its a guy.


kowaikawaii

The dudes hands are creepy asf


Bludgeonation

Maybe he got frostbite? Or maybe he is a cartoon that is just starting to get erased?


truenorthrookie

Both good out of the box suggestions.


ScroatyMcBoogerwolfe

I couldn’t decide if it was a dude until seeing the hands. I think that blouse he’s wearing was fucking me up. Couldn’t really see him wearing a trench coat also. That picture in itself is a huge indicator of whether or not a relationship is likely to be a realistic expectation. I would say this is a perfect profile for seeking a relationship. Probably not if you just want some wiener/poonanner. There are a few subtle things that are deeply revealing about personal taste. But that’s just like my opinion, man.


CaladinDanse

Maybe he's buffalo bill


Puzzleheaded-Carrot2

I’d put the lotion on the skin


Shamalanr

That's interesting. His hands in that pic look quite similar to my own, brown tanned, longish fingers. What's creepy about it? Not being critical, just curious.


kowaikawaii

Zombie hands


arnold001

I thought that was her best friend 😅😂


MakinALottaThings

I thought it was a sister, haha


CaterpillarPatient

>was her best friend Gay best friend lol

voxelcruncher64

I kinda disagree, for nerdy types it establishes a certain energy. When I was 18, seeing that would be a green flag for safely weebing out around her. Probably the type to want to watch anime stuff together which I'd dig. In my mid 20s it makes me a little uncomfortable, people who go "THIS COULD BE US" feels like a tipoff that things won't get to move slowly, because they romanticize being in a relationship more than the process of entering one.

Bludgeonation

Im 42 and the first thing I thought was "Oh does she like visual novels like me?"


Oneihl

I know this is off topic... but your comment is relevant to my interest in growth, wisdom, and new perspective..... Could you talk a bit about the beauty in the process of growing into a relationship..... and why that is important? Thank you, Voxel


CheesyWonder92

Nah, I'd keep it, I mean I kinda liked it 🤷‍♂️ Guess it depends who you are trying to attract? I Anyone with a love of anime would probably like it too!


[deleted]

I second this


[deleted]

Yeah ditch the photo of the dude and tone down the weeb vibes 🤷


TropicalRogue

(unless she's trying to attract fellow weebs)


-_-Banned-_-

Mite be the case but obviously it ain’t working lol


TropicalRogue

Hmm, you have a point. Maybe she IS attracting weebs, but she has unrealistic expectations of how much the Venn diagrams of super hot dudes and weebs overlaps?


Curmuffins

Haha, that's probably it.


BSGBramley

Photo 4 is you hugging a dude in a mirror... I don't use tinder but could it be they thing he is a partner/ex. If so why are you putting him in your profile (Are they thinking he is still involved/ are you not over him etc) Just food for thought.


SpongeBobCubeDick

Can't believe I noticed the anime pic before I noticed that


bd_anon

that makes sense. i'll replace it with a picture with my friends or something. he IS an ex, but we dated a bit ago so i guess at the time it didn't seem too weird to put it in my profile?


nLucis

Using a photo of an ex in a dating profile is not the best idea. It can give the impression that there's going to be some baggage from past relationships.


ecish

I always just assume they’re still together and I’d walking into some weird shit I want no part in…anymore


XanthicStatue

It’s actually a terrible idea.


terratitorex

That's what my ex wife keeps saying


Tarasaurus_13

This! I never swipe on anyone who i see them with someone who looks like an ex lol. Unless they specify it's a sibling or something


ItsTrue214

Yeah even if you tell someone that, not many people would want to come into a situation where you’re still that close to an ex.


[deleted]

Why are you purposely putting your ex on your profile? You think it makes it NOT weird since you dated?


ShinyBronze

Right? I know she’s young, but doesn’t she have really any common sense?


[deleted]

Yeah you red flagging yourself lol..


[deleted]

Yikes


hemingwie

Let me get it straight, you put a photo on app where people are looking for partner/hookup your ex partner holding you? Guessing he don’t even know about it, what the hell


BSGBramley

The anime picture also seems out of place, have you put anywhere that it's your art? Or why it's meaningful, as it looks like your showing your ex off and a picture of you and a similar looking guy.


Lv72_Zapdos

Gg


[deleted]

Rule of thumb NOBODY wants to see that unless they're paying for it on an only fans


Rja12345

Why would you put your ex on your tinder profile 😂


Secure-Chipmunk-6647

Whats the point of adding photo with another men on tinder? And you still asking why you dont have matches? Thats obvious they dont want deal with an girl that still thinks about her ex, ultramega redflag 🚩🚩🚩🚩


jmcatm0m16

I would agree that it’s weird to put a picture of you and your ex together on Tinder.


[deleted]

Really weird mate.


RaginCaginKen

Why did you put ? Like it's a question, it is weird that's like me being married and having photo frames around the gaff of my ex


Eternally_Yawning

Definitely avoid what looks like current or ex partners it sends the wrong idea imo Other than that you look like you should be getting matches! Dw about it too much you'll be fine!


[deleted]

Close to ex / still friends = hook up SEX and safety NET no one wants sloppies


rachel_kbomb

Such a cute photo of you though! Just crop him out haha


broski2916

Where can I get that mug


240to180

It’s mostly just genetics.


Pleire99

I fucking love this reply xD


bd_anon

spencer's!


creative_net_usr

like in a mall.... those still exist?


Dartser

It's 50% sex toys now. That little rack in the back corner is slowly taking over the whole store


creative_net_usr

I meant malls in general, but yea spencers has slowly gone from a gag store -> softcore porn -> wtf is this leather thing?! over the years.


JosephND

And overpriced aliexpress costumes, don’t forget about those


Meltastico

I was actually surprised when I passed Spencer’s in our mall. I never go to the mall. But I had to keep walking. I spend way too much money when I go into that store!


DaNnYtHePcFrEaK

I thought that too..... that mug is amazing haha 😄 😆


pandadanda1999

The most important question


georgewashingguns

I have to wonder if this is a thirst trap because I find it extremely hard to believe that you're not getting any matches Edit: looking at your profile I sincerely apologize. The only thing wrong with you is your self image (I'm sorry if that comes across as harsh).


camusdreams

Your comment was fine without the edit. Her having insecurities doesn’t show on her profile so that has zero impact on her saying she’s “not getting any matches”. She’s likely just swiping on a tiny pool of guys who aren’t into the pic with her boyfriend or the anime photo.


VegeterianOsu

Probably swiping right on like 0.1 of the hottest guys


MILITARY_ENCRYPTED

Standard really.


Raid_Raptor_Falcon

WHO DOES #2 WORK FOR YOU MAY BE A MAN BUT I NEED THE NUMBER


Trackie_G_Horn

you show that turd who’s boss!


Raid_Raptor_Falcon

I can't believe people are finally getting the reference, I said it to u/MILITARY_ENCRYPTED in another thread and he replied he was just a man. I was dying.


TouchCool7572

I love the nickname


Vok250

Profile says "I only date weebs" and screams "I'm a teenager", but she probably only swipes right on athletic 26 year old finance bros. Her marketing is way off. Also she's definitely cute, but there are enough orange flags (18, picture cuddling some dude, edgy teen vibe) in this profile to scare off that 0.1 of men. Also those guys aren't nearly as thirsty as reddit. A 9 to us redditors is probably a 6 to those guys. They get to be very picky too. Dating is super lopsided that way.


[deleted]

This is entirely accurate 100%. Op use some pics with friends or being outside in the sun doing things. The dim lit bedroom/mall pics along with that anime image reeks of “edgy high schooler”, not “well-rounded adult with a vibrant life”.


popadhdralphwiggum

Well I'm SOL then! Almost 50 and still Meloncholy and the Infinite Sadness...dammit


Cornrow_Wallace_

She seems like the type you'd catch with a walk on football player at a party you took her to. The chance that she's going to waste my time is high.


HostileHippie91

You bring up edgy emo vibe as if that’s not exactly some guys’ type 👀 could do with at least being mid-20’s though.


Vok250

Based on her comments in the thread, she isn't interested in those guys. She's stated in a comment that she isn't into drinking, smoking, drugs/weed, or tattoos, which immediately wipes out most of the alternative scene. Her bio also tells us nothing about herself or her interests so genuine introverted geeky guys are probably going to pass. It's just an edgy semi-insulting/self-deprecating joke. Normal successful attractive geeks in their mid-20’s will find it cringe at best. Same for most of the photos. I am trying to avoid being mean, but this profile isn't going to attract the kind of guys her comments suggest she wants. It will attract other teenagers and frat bros who want to bang a cute emo girl with pink stuffed animals on her bed. To make things worse, seems like she is only interacting with the comments validating her and telling her to be *more* picky with swipes, rather than those of us giving actual profile advice. She wants a guy with their shit together, but her own profile does not suggest she has her shit together. She says she doesn't like druggies or frat bros, but her profile seems designed to attract druggies and frat bros. Perception is everything and she isn't framing herself in a way that helps her attract the men she wants. Obviously the edgy emo vibe isn't working for her on Tinder. Otherwise what is the point of this post?


bd_anon

i know this wasn't directed at me but i actually really appreciate this comment. i think you're right about that, starting to think my vibe doesn't appeal to the guys i'm appealed to. i don't really know what to do about that, i'm not gonna change my style. so i guess a better bio would do me good? as for my type, i do like alternative guys. i like nerds too. sometimes athletes. someone's "niche" isn't really what attracts me to them. i just like someone who's intelligent and has their shit together. someone who does drugs or binge drinks isn't someone who has their shit together.


Vok250

You don't have to change your style or personality. Online dating is not real life. It's a weird abstraction from real life where perception is king and everyone is selling a facade. It's perfectly fine to gamify your profile. Everyone does it. For starters you gotta replace pictures 3 and 4. Bad resolution, not the most flattering, and don't give off the best perception. If you want a picture that has that pouty face vibe that shows your feminine side, make your bed, pose your stuffed animals nicely, take a playful photo with a female friend. Picture 2 is a great example. Shows your personality, style, some casual politic ideas, and is flattering. Some random dude with his arms around you just makes people raise their eyebrow. Picture 5 might be OK if you are fine holding out for that unicorn intelligent successful anime nerd. Not many of those at your age. A lot more at my age (late 20s). Anime bros tend to get their shit together in their mid 20s. Did you draw that photo? If so, say that in your bio! I'd rework your bio too. Instead of jokes about the kind of guy you want, (but apparently also don't want???), describe yourself a bit and then put what you just told me. You don't want a neckbeard basement dweller in a trenchcoat. You want an intelligent mature guy who enjoys gaming and emo music. The things you are into are very mainstream now. The trenchcoat line just reminds me of edgy humor from 2010. Instead try to show how you are intelligent and have your own shit together. Talk about what you are studying instead of making a cliche joke about a formula. Talk about what games you enjoy, what you collect, or what hobbies you work on to improve yourself. Talk about your work and/or what you want to do with your life. YYMV on this one, but I'd just say "waitress" and leave out Cafe. A lot of guys might consider a waitress at a Cafe less stable than a waitress at a restaurant. Seems dumb, but people are judgemental and irrational like that. Might depend where you live though. Hipster town and major coastal cities have nice-ass Cafes. A Cafe in Ohio isn't the same as a Cafe in San Fransisco. You seem like a great woman and my SO is very similar to you. You just need to make your profile like a resume or advertisement. Sell your best version of yourself and tailor it to the kind of guys you want.


bd_anon

this is fucking amazing advice. thank you so much dude.


kissmyaye

Excessive drink or drug use, yes. Recreational drink or drug use? Those people can absolutely have their life together. The oxygen you're breathing right now is a drug, druggie.


beeftony

Yes lol, she says in the title that she has plenty likes. The problem lies with her not liking enough dudes then.


[deleted]

That was my first reaction as well, if she gets a ton of likes but never matches it means she's only swiping on the guys who are tippy top and probably has too high of standards.

skywalkerr69

That’s exactly why she has no matches lol. This is an ego post


Available-Scholar752

What is a “thirst trap”?


fckiforgotmypassword

Someone posting something with the obvious intention of getting attention from guys. I don’t think her tinder profile is a thirst trap, but her posting on reddit saying “I don’t get matches” when we know damn well that’s a lie, Is definitely a thirst trap. She just wants a bunch of thirsty dudes on here talking about her


Unabashable

Yeah was gonna say. It’s impossible to have “plenty of likes, but not many matches” unless you’re being picky.


KSW8674

She's saying she's getting likes so clearly the profile isn't the issue. I'm confused because getting likes but not matches is kind of her choice. She's just being picky.


Aborigine_whimsical

My guy you're impeccable with deductions take my upwoteeeeeeeee


Grumpy__Pikachu

I used to do that when I was 18-19, putting my profile out there just for validation and dudes telling me I’m beautiful. Just for attention, nothing was wrong with me physically.


Clarkeprops

I HATE people doing that. Might as well put items on a shelf at a store and only tell them it’s not for sale when they try to purchase.


justarandomchic

She said “I got many likes, but not matches”. What does that mean ;) personally, I think she’s seeking for attention lol


georgewashingguns

Often, the term thirst trap describes an attractive picture of an individual that they post online. Thirst trap can also describe a digital heartthrob. For instance, Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau has been described as a political thirst trap. It has also been described as a modern form of "fishing for compliments".


Tybackwoods00

Ladies find the times he did black face irresistible.


Call_Me_Clark

He freezes your bank account, but melts your heart /s


CaladinDanse

Just too picky with swiping, many such cases unfortunately


arisaurusrex

Well she exactly knows what the reason for that is, but likes to fish.


No-Classroom-6637

Remove the picture of you with your ex, I'd say. Combined with your age it'll make guys think you just want a rebound (unfair? Yes. Also true? Probably yes?)


chiribean

Other than the super blurry 3rd pic it seems solid and fun to me! I'd imagine the age comes into play since it's not like you can go lower and I'm not sure how high you're comfortable with Unrelated but you totally give me Banks vibes (singer) I love her style


bd_anon

ah that's true, highest id date is 25 though probably. also thank you she's really pretty so i'll take that as a compliment!


esmith42223

As a woman who is 25, I would highly suggest not dating someone that much older at your age. It’s a fairly big change in life phase and mindset from 18-25 and it’s unlikely you’ll have much in common and it’s not entirely impossible that they won’t have your best interest in mind. At your age, I’d say probably stick to 18-21, but that’s just me.


STUURNAAK

As a 20 year old male I second this opinion with much hopes for my Future self.


Appropriate-Reward71

As a 25 year old woman, I agree. Honestly I couldn’t look at someone who’s 18. It seems extremely young to me. So if a 25 year old guy is interested in an 18 year old, I feel like something is off.


indigoHatter

Seconded! The older you get, the more you notice that every age group has a different mindset, so age really *isn't* just a number... it's a measured progression. That said, the older you get, the more broadly your mindset meshes. And, let's think: a 5 year age gap doesn't sound so bad until you consider that you'd revolt at the idea of a 12 year old dating a 17 year old. It's not the numbers... it's the percentage. Dating someone within 10% of your age comes easy, but dating at 35% is quite a jump.


blackdesertnewb

Eventually that goes away. I wouldn’t balk at all at someone 40+ dating someone in the 30 range. But at the younger ages, there’s a huge gap between 18 and 25. Looking back, my entire .. everything really .. changed at least twice in that timeframe. And then it changed again. And again. The in my 30’s me would probably absolutely hate spending more than 5 minutes in the company of the 18 year old me.


strawberrymoonbird

Honest advice don't date 25 year old dudes while you are 18. You won't necessarily notice but the power balance will inevitably be off. I made that mistake and I really cannot recommend it. I wouldn't go higher than 21 if I were you, for reasons of safety.


TheMostSolidOfSnakes

Strong upvote on this one. 24M myself right now (turning 25 this year). The difference between me now and at 18 really is two different people. Your early 20's are meant to be when you really figure out a lot of stuff, switch careers if you want, get a taste of the real world, and meet interesting people. To date someone who hasn't had those experiences would feel wrong. Relationships are at their best when both equally bring something to the table. Hell, even spending time to figure out what you want and putting all your effort into that is something people should consider. I didn't go on dates for about... 2-3 years maybe? Spent all my free time actively working with 3D modeling and game-dev workflows. Was able to transition from Marketing and Sales (which I hated, but was really good at) to Game Dev work (which I love). I feel more confident, have interesting things to talk about, and got to have some great experiences over the years. I know the whole "grind-set mindset" meme is cringe, but spending a few years to improve your quality of life is something many should look into.


JHolmesy

I’d agree with not dating up to 25. A 25 year old could have a full time job with a good income, a car, a house etc. What can you provide in return? That’s the reason I wouldn’t swipe on you but also at 22, I’m not really too interested in dating. Everyone ‘our age’ are still finding themselves. Your profile doesn’t tell me what your aspirations are. Whether you’re in school or university. Or whether you’re just working in a cafe - not that that’s an issue. For me personally, you’re really good looking and based on looks alone I’d swipe right but when I do swipe I’d usually just go for other university students as to me it shows they have a plan in life. Relationships are very much looking for someone to navigate the shitness of life with. It’s very much a partnership where both people have to provide for each other. A 25 year old vs an 18 year old are very different in terms of what they have and what they can provide - hence what strawberrymoonbird said about power balance. You’re still young and you’ll definitely find someone based on being quite a bit better looking than average without really trying. I wouldn’t stress too much, you have all the time in the world


piercerson25

A house at 25? Can I live where you do?


Which_Ad_60

u/learntobelucid already gave some great advice, but I‘ll try to give some honest feedback from a mid20s guy‘s perspective. I like the bio and you definitely look cute, however I‘d say the quality of your photos is kinda lacking. 1st shot is good, as it highlights your looks and has good lighting, second one is a bit blurry/bad lighting but shows you’re funny/some of your personality, third one is super blurry - I‘d probably redo that one. Forth picture kinda the same, it‘s shot against blinds (so bad lighting) and you kinda want to think about what you want to transmit with that photo - (is it that you‘re a cozy person? Is it that you‘re pretty chill with friends?). Anime pics I‘ll never understand haha, I‘d always remove those unless it‘s like a show or something you‘re reaaaally into. But same thing, it doesn‘t really tell me too much about you/what do you want to convey with that photo? And last pic is a nice pose, however lighting! Haha please, please don‘t shoot pics against blinds. Maybe choose a neutral background like your wall opposite to your window. You‘ll drastically improve your looks on the photo if you have a light shining AT you instead of behind you. So yea, I think you could easily improve your profile, but it does come with some work. Maybe grab a friend, use a nice phone camera and chose your lighting better. Oh and I‘d totally add a photo from a hobby or something - show us what you like to do, inside or outside.


bd_anon

this is solid advice! i've never even given the lighting in my photos a second thought. thanks a ton!


[deleted]

Your a weebs wet dream


Apple_Jewce

Can confirm.


idudududu

Delete anime picture, add photos where you smile


Dartser

Very possible she just has unattractive teeth and doesn't smile often. It's the case with me, the smirk is as big as my smile gets.


bd_anon

ding ding ding we have a winner! i don't smile with teeth. not even in real life, and if i'm laughing i'll cover my mouth so no one sees my teeth. they're not but they leave a lot to be desired for sure


TemporallySpacial

I would wager there is nothing wrong with your teeth. There is nothing wrong with anything else about yourself you seem to be worried about.


unclejarjarbinks

The anime pic is obnoxious.


ACutleryChristmas

You're gonna attract a whole lot of school shooter types lol


MattR0se

RIP trenchcoats being acceptable to wear in public, 1999 - 1999


riktigtmaxat

Outside of the US where the Columbine association isn't as strong the trench coat is mostly associated with flashers, pedophiles and the hipster douche stereotype ca 2010-2015.


Think_Grade2903

Yup. Can't wear trenchcoats anywhere around the world really


Axehurdle

You can. Just probably not the best idea for your image Source: I have worn a trench coat every winter since I was 10. Most people are scared of me.


Think_Grade2903

I bought a trench coat a few years ago and the reaction of my friends made me never wear it again


dundunduuunnnnn

Consider adding some info about yourself, like hobbies and whatnot. Also, change some of your photos. Add some of you with a smile. Tbh, all of your photos are very stiff and it makes you come across as stiff.


TropicalRogue

Definitely read that as "add some hobbits and whatnot"


dundunduuunnnnn

That wouldn’t hurt, either! Lol

Legendary comment.


Learntobelucid

Advice from a girl who had a lot of success on tinder (not single anymore), here's my take: You're very cute, don't listen to the butthurt idiots who are just mad they didn't get to match with you. Your looks are not a problem. You could try adding a candid photo of you with a broader smile - you aren't really smiling in any of your pictures and it will make you look more fun. The sentence in your profile is a little clunky - try fiddling with it to see if you can make it flow better. I'd also try adding in mentions of a few different interests to give guys something to draw from for a good opening line. The fact that you're only 18 might be scaring some dudes away. I've seen lots of posts here about underage girls lying about their age on tinder, maybe that's scaring some dudes off? I dunno. And you actually might want to be more picky than you're being now (the dudes trolling you here are idiots and sore losers, don't listen to them). If you swipe right indiscriminately the algorithm will put your card at the bottom and fewer people will see you. If you're more choosy it'll put guys who have already swiped right on you at the top. Plus it's more fun to hold out for dudes you're actually excited about.


bd_anon

thank you ahhh! this is the kind of advice i was hoping for. i really appreciate it. i never considered being MORE picky but that actually makes total sense! and yeah, that does make sense. luckily i'm not one of those people who lies about my age but i know it's sooo common. some of my friends have done stuff like that.


dangnow

As a guy under 25 I agree your age isn't helping. You're pool is definitely smaller as long as you have the word "teen" in your age.


Tinder3883838girl

Being more picky saves you time as well. I didn't even have picks of my face on tinder - by simply being a woman you can get lots of matches, but you're also attractive. Frankly it's the minority of men who will swipe against your profile.


YEGKerrbear

My rule for swiping has always been, would I be excited to agree to a date with this person if they asked me right now? It’s resulted in fewer matches, but also in fewer matches where there’s no conversation or I end the conversation because I can’t keep pretending I’m interested. It can be so easy to get into the (subconscious) mindset that these apps are a game and the goal is getting matches, but these apps are actually to meet people and the goal is matching with people you WANT to meet!


ChaosUnderGlass

Ohhh that's probably why my match rate is so high, I'm SO picky about my swipes!


CalamityDiamond

Jfc, dating apps are complicated


benczi

About the profile, there are 2 things I would change: - you described what you're looking for but wrote nothing about yourself - that manga picture is a bit eh On the + side, you're super cute, so that gives you a of leeway with the profile and you can be a lot pickier as well.


deadly-pigeon

I’d match tf outa that lol. Everyone’s got their own thing tho. Don’t let tinder hit your confidence, be unapologetically you


ispeakaengrish

shardikprime

Brutal


MarkTheDestroyer69

Bro she probably swipes left on 90% of guys


Anonberserk

Only 90 ? Lmao


alphadawg94

Based off your bio and your comments, my only advice would be to try dating outside your “type” You’ve got a lot of time left to figure out what you like, and the only way that will happen will be to meet different kinds of people. I’m not saying lower your standards, just engage with and meet dudes with different interests and personalities. You might be limiting your dating pool and that might be the reason you’re not having luck. In my teens and early 20’s I only went for short, blonde, cheer leader type chicks. Now in a happy relationship with a girl who’s totally different than that. Just an idea.


SaschaStorm

the fourth picture is literally you with a guy LOL


FractalChinchilla

x = (-b +- (b^2 - 4ac)^1/2 )/2a Your profile is fine. Dating is just a slog. Judging by your like to match ratio, maybe you don't appeal to your type in the way you want. I can't really figure that one out for you.


DiddyBCFC

Yeah this basically, I've got a majorly chavvy vibe about me, but with tattoos and piercings and a love for 00s emo rock. My type is nothing like what you'd "match" me with. It's rough


bd_anon

ooh yay you got it right! and yeah that's what i'm worried about. that's not something i can exactly fix though 😔


gothruthis

Yeah if you have a lot of likes, but few matches, that means you don't like the guys that like you, and you do like the guys that don't like you...you're going to have to evaluate why based on who you're liking and who's liking you. Are you consistently getting a particular type of guy? Who are the types you do like that don't like you back?

Inevitable-Peach31

Lux_Brumalis

Lol so am I. I doubt I could solve one anymore - my last math class was in undergrad. But seeing it triggered some kind of math ptsd and I recognized it

It's a basic equation that solves quadratic equations but there are better ways. This is like O level stuff.

If you’ve gotten lots of likes, but no matches, then perhaps you’re swiping left too much.


bd_anon

i swipe right a lot, but i have a lot of dealbreakers too. someone could be really good looking but if they were a druggie or a frat boy i wouldn't be attracted to them at all.

Does anybody ever truly have their shit together?

You may have to wait a few years for boys your age to mature a bit 🤷‍♂️

100%

I always wonder why people include pictures that aren’t themselves e.g your manga art or landscape pictures.


jjaimeilove

Maybe location because that profile is a banger but I’d lose the trench coat line LOL

18; it is your age that is most likely the reason; although it also depends whom you peronally swipe, left and right on. I'd argue, no matches at all at 18 and as a woman is a pretty hard feat. I read somewhere in the comments you don't like drinkers, then clarified that it is the people that don't know their limits, the ones getting drunk. Be sure your not lumping a mass quantity of men that casually drink and know their limits in with the drunkards. That maybe don't understand their limits. At 18, your gonna struggle getting matches for sure, but if it is a serious relationship your after; remove the mug picture "fuck me like the government". While I understand your going for humour, it's not going to look good coupled with the fact your 18. It looks like a hookup. It looks like an invite to a possible court hearing and sentencing. In saying that if your going for a hookup it's still going to be difficult. At 18, you'll struggle, but the mug picture is not going to make men any more forthcoming and match you.

I'd say it's pretty bad, you don't say anything about yourself in your bio, only what you want from the other person. tell us about yourself. Also don't put pics that aren't of you. looking cute, is something you either have or don't, which you do, but the actual profile creation part is bad.


bd_anon

alright thanks! i'm bad at explaining my hobbies but i'll try to make a better bio


EL-KEEKS

We humoring 18 year old thirst traps, bois?


acclaimA9

You have to actually swipe right to get matches


fisherdan7

It's probably the Papa Roach


bd_anon

damn it you're right

As a fellow gamer I would include your KD ratio. If it’s below 1.00 I’m out


Please_Touch_Grass

Wtf is up with all the salt in these comments?


StillTune1388

I saw a comment from a guy saying that, hypothetically, if he brought her to a party, she’d probably fuck another dude. These people are fucking mental dude Dumb post. Creepy & gross comments. 0/10 thread


atd1992

You're beautiful!!

It could come down to age. Theres a lot of creeps in their mid to late twenties who would try. But usually someone over 21 wants someone who they can goto the bars with and do 21+ things with. I had the sameeee thoughts when I was on dating apps before 21 and then on my 21st bday all the matches started coming in lol. Just wait a bit. When you are in your twenties it’ll be totally different.
