Today, it isn’t uncommon for people to use online dating sites in search of a significant other. Similarly, the app “Tinder” has become a popular way for people to communicate and sometimes meet people in their area. Since the audience likely reading this article understands what Tinder is and how it works, I’m going to skip all of that for now. What I will discuss is how to make your Tinder profile appealing – whether you are a guy or girl. These are all basic tips/ concerns that I have overheard in conversations or heard about from users.

The Bio

The biography you put on your Tinder profile is pretty important to a lot of users who are active on the app. You do not want to come across as something you aren’t, and you don’t want to come across as someone who is willing to do whatever with whoever. Sometimes, a little mystery goes a long way, but it is important to give some basic information so others can get a sense on whether or not it’s even worth the “swipe right.”

Your bio doesn’t have to be all serious though. Sometimes a corny pick up line or a sarcastic comment can be funny and cute, and a good sense of humor is never a bad thing. On the other hand, some pick-up lines can be too aggressive and have the chance of resulting in a “left swipe.” Similarly, writing a biography with objective remarks about the opposite sex will not likely help your chances of finding a “match.”

The Pictures

Pictures are obviously important to a Tinder profile, despite how superficial this may be. Honestly, don’t just put one picture to your profile. There is no way one picture portrays who you are, let alone what you look like. Add a few different pictures to your profile that demonstrate a variety of angles or places that demonstrate who you are and what you like to do. Essentially, your pictures should tell the story your biography provides a glimpse of.

It seems that the most frequent concern people have about pictures people use on their Tinder profiles is that they do not reveal pictures that provide even somewhat of an image of what the person looks like. For example, using blurry pictures or a bunch of pictures with groups of people is not effective because other users cannot determine what you look like, or even who you are in a set of group photos. Adding more of a close-up photo, a photo out with friends and a photo of you doing something you love is a good start to a decent profile. This shows variety and adventure and your personality.

Sure, Tinder is generally perceived as an app people can use to find someone to hook up with or meet out at the bars or frats one night, but you never know who could be on there who is using it for more serious purposes. This is something you could even include in your biography if you feel that is necessary. Take this advice or leave it, but if you want to increase your chances of getting matches on Tinder, here are some ways you can improve your profile according to feedback and comments other users have mentioned.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
