The Best Ways To Compliment Women On Tinder

The best ways to compliment women on Tinder include mentioning her lifestyle, a photo, or that she swiped right on you, to name a few. Knowing how (and when) to use a compliment is critical for success on Tinder.

This post shares 5 of the best ways to compliment women on Tinder. You'll discover how to boost the likelihood of responses from women following the tips below. 

BEWARE: Most men compliment a woman's looks.

When it comes to compliments, most men tell women how pretty they are. Below is an example.

Never compliment a woman's appearance on Tinder.

Women regularly receive messages like the one above. Here's a simple fact - the hotter the woman, the more messages she gets telling her she's pretty.

Online Profile Pros claims 31% of men compliment women's appearances. Of those, 51% sent a general message like "you're hot." 

You will never stand out by complimenting a woman's appearance in an icebreaker. Don't worry; the rest of this post shows you the best way to compliment women on Tinder.

Tip - Use the word "you" in your compliment.

When complimenting a woman, make sure you use the word "you." For example, "I like that you..." followed by what you're complimenting her on.

Avoid saying, "I like a woman who..." followed by a compliment. Do you understand the difference?

Using the word "you" speaks to the woman reading the message. The words "a woman" means anyone, meaning any female in general.

You want the woman to feel that your message focuses on her directly. Saying, "I love a woman who loves traveling," does the exact opposite. 

1. Compliment a woman's lifestyle.

One of the best ways to compliment a woman on Tinder is by mentioning her lifestyle. Anything a woman shares in her bio is fair game for a compliment - make sure it's sincere.

Below is an example of Jen's bio on Tinder. You can see she's active based on the "passions" section in her bio. Anything on a woman's bio can be a conversation starter.

Anything on a woman's profile can be used in an icebreaker.

I use Jen's passions section to start a conversation. My message begins with a compliment; then, I ask a question about her activities.

The message above is effective because I compliment Jen's lifestyle, then ask a question about it. You can see Jen responds with a great answer. 

Starting with a compliment works, but your icebreaker should be engaging. Women want to see an effort in conversation starters, so show some curiosity after your compliment.

Note how I share something about myself in my opener. Your icebreaker should never be one-sided, so share something about yourself regarding whichever topic you use.

2. Compliment the woman's style. 

A great opener for Tinder is complimenting a woman's "style." This approach is ridiculously effective and one of my go-to's on the app.

The message is simple, but it can make a difference for you. Women appreciate this type of compliment.

Below is an example of my icebreaker to Cristina. She mentions how she likes playing the mobile game GamePigeon, so I use that in my opener.

You see that Cristina thanks me for the compliment. Success! The icebreaker above also works because I showcase humor (something you should use also).

3.  Compliment a woman's energy.

Another approach I use is telling a woman she has great energy. I typically use this if a woman's bio is funny or positive. I'll also use this approach if a woman uses photos where she's laughing or having a blast.

Look for a woman who gives a great vibe in her bio or photos. Yes, it's a generic compliment, but it works (see below).

4. Compliment a woman's photo.

Another way to compliment women on Tinder is by focusing on profile photos. Remember, don't compliment a woman's looks.

You can compliment a view, the background, something interesting - even the photo itself. Anything is fair game. The key is asking where the picture was taken; don't just compliment the photo.

Below is one of Aly's profile photos. Her bio was empty, and the rest of her pictures were selfies, so I used this photo as a conversation starter.

Aly answers my question but isn't engaged. That's fine; all you want is a response. From there, you can take charge of the conversation.

5. Compliment a woman for liking you!

A cocky way to start an icebreaker is complimenting a woman for liking your profile. That's right; you compliment the woman for her taste in men. 

As crazy as it sounds, it works. Below is the message in action to Maria. Note how she compliments my bio, showing that women do indeed look at your profile.

Examples of a compliment on Tinder

Complimenting a woman for liking you is effective.

Get creative with your compliment. Here are examples of how to start your message on Tinder. 

  • Thanks for the like, you have great taste men.
  • I appreciate the right swipe... I knew you had good taste.
  • Thanks for liking my profile, clearly, you have exquisite taste in men.

Complimenting a woman for liking you is a risky approach, but women react to the energy of the message. After your compliment, transition the message to whatever opener you choose to use.

Final Thoughts

Complimenting women on Tinder is very effective at starting conversations. Use the tips above in your icebreakers, and you'll boost the likelihood of getting responses.
