The Gentleman's Guide To Creating A Dating App Profile & Getting It Right

Published: DEC 30, 2025

THE FIRST IMPRESSION IS THE LAST

First photo decides everything. Show your face clearly, smile, and skip group shots. Keep it real. Just confident, natural, and you.

SKIP THE SHIRTLESS SELFIES

You worked hard for that body: great. Just skip the shirtless gym selfie. Beach shots, wedding tuxes, or a fitted muscle tee do the job better.

LET YOUR PHOTOS TELL A STORY

Let your photos tell a story. Candids, interests and travel work best. Pets help, even babies too, as long as you explain.

BE CLEAR ABOUT DETAILS

Fill in your basics honestly: location, work, height, and intentions. Low effort is a turn-off. Write a real bio, skip AI lines, as personality beats emojis.

GET MULTI WITH YOUR MEDIA

Since Tinder’s rise in 2012, dating apps added voice notes, polls, and video. Use them smartly, show personality, not party chaos.

AFTER THE MATCH

The goal isn’t endless chatting, it’s meeting. Get to know her, keep it fun, and make the move before the spark expires.
