1. Verify yourself on Tinder.

Most dating apps offer photos verification, including Tinder. Women are skeptical of men using old photos and misrepresenting themselves.

You can put a woman's mind at ease by verifying yourself. Verifying your profile shows women they are seeing current photos.

Verifying yourself is simple. Trinder presents you with poses that you mimic. You take a photo, and Tinder compares your profile photos against posed photos you take for verification.

Tinder puts a blue tick on your profile which can have a huge positive impact on your results. It's wise to verify your Tinder profile.

2. Turn off the Smart Photos feature.

The "Smart Photo Feature" is a setting that lets Tinder choose the supposed best picture that will most likely attract women. It's basically a split test for your photos, determining which is most likely to get a right swipe.

I recommend avoiding this feature. It's impossible to know why a woman swipes right on your profile. It could be your bio. Maybe it's your 3rd photo.

Heck, maybe the woman accidentally swipes right, something everyone does on Tinder. Other variables impact your likes on Tinder.

Also, Tinder is literally using your photos to test against each other. What if a great match sees your worst photo and instantly swipes left. Ouch!

3. Use the best pictures possible.

A great portfolio is critical on Tinder. Each picture can sway a woman's decision to swipe right, swipe left, or respond to your message.

Creating a solid portfolio is simple. Follow these photo tips for Tinder:

• Smile - The first thing women look at in photos is your smile.
• Include a full-body shot - Women want to see your head-to-toe. Add a picture or two showing your entire body; otherwise, it looks like you're hiding your body.
• Don't hide your face - Don't cover your eyes with sunglasses. Women want to see your eyes. 
• Showcase your interests - add a photo or two of you engaging in things you enjoy. Hiking, kayaking, dancing, concerts, wine-tasting, etc., are examples.
• Add a picture with your dog - Do you have a dog? Add a picture alongside your pet - female dog owners are more likely to connect with you.
• Traveling pictures are a fantastic idea - A lot of women enjoy traveling. Adding a picture of yourself on an adventure allows you to connect with fellow travelers.

4. Put effort into your bio on Tinder.

It's a no-brainer to write something about yourself. Unfortunately, a ton of guys put zero effort into their bio.

If you think a bio doesn't impact your results, you're mistaken. Women read them. The amount of effort you put into your bio shows women how serious you are about dating. 

Include a few of your interests, hobbies, and passions. Mention an upcoming vacation Share a funny philosophy. Mention a guilty pleasure. 

It's a good idea to include what you're looking for as well. Maybe write about your future adventures together.

Keep your bio light and fun. If you can make a woman smile, you're off to a great start.

5. Don't overlook the passions feature. 

The Passions feature lets you choose up to 5 of your favorite things from a preselected list. Scroll through the list and choose 5 of your favorites.

Whichever passions you select are highlighted on your profile. Even better, the interests you share with a woman are highlighted in your bio.

Passions are a great addition to your Tinder profile. They can attract women who share the same hobbies and interests.

6. Include the college you attended.

According to one study, people with a bachelor's or advanced degree are seen as more attractive. It's simple, college-educated men perform better on dating apps.

According to one study, college-educated men can expect to receive 35% more messages than a high school graduate. A college education shows intelligence and makes you more desirable.

Another benefit of including your college is that it can grab a woman's attention because she's a fellow alumni. She may swipe right or contact you because you both attended the same university.

7. Connect to Spotify and Instagram.

Tinder allows you to link your profile to Spotify, which shows the music you enjoy. Select the music that defines who you are. You can add an anthem to your profile with Spotify as well.

You can also connect your Instagram account to your Tinder profile. This helps women see more about your lifestyle and interests. 

Tinder claims people receive more likes when their profile is complete. Adding Instagram and Spotify helps flesh out who you are, which is a good thing. 

8. Make your move - send a message!

Once you match up with a woman, send her a message. Don't let her sit in your queue. You're the man, so make the first move.

The longer the woman is in your queue, the less likely you'll connect with her. She may unmatch with you if you don't make your move. Even worse, another guy may step in, and you'll lose her forever. 

When should you send messages to women? In the evening! Women are most active on dating apps in the evening. It's best to use Tinder after 7 PM when women are using the app.

9. Write good icebreakers to women.

Put some effort into your icebreakers. Messages like "Hey" or "How are you" are boring, show a lack of effort, and are not engaging.

Showing curiosity is a great approach. Find a common interest and mention it in your message. Share something about yourself in your message as well - your message shouldn't be one-sided.  

Complimenting women is also a good idea. Be careful; stay away from complimenting a woman's appearance. It's better to compliment something in a photo or their bio.

Confidence and humor are also recommended. Making a woman laugh is about the best thing you can do with an icebreaker.

You have options when it comes to an opening message. The key to responses is effort. Take some time crafting your message. It will stand out.

10. Get Tinder Plus, Tinder Gold, or Tinder Platinum.

Tinder offers several premium memberships. You can certainly do well on the app using the free version. The premium membership gives you an advantage - unlimited likes.

The free version of Tinder limits your daily likes. I also like the swipe rewind feature, but not enough to pay for Tinder. However, unlimited likes are worth the price.

Here are the features that make each membership worth using:

Tinder Platinum
- Unlimited likes
- Unlimited rewinds
- Can attach a note to every Super Like
- See who likes your profile

Tinder Gold
- Unlimited likes
- Unlimited rewinds
- See who likes your profile

Tinder Plus
- Unlimited likes
- Unlimited rewinds

All three offer what I consider the only must-have feature; unlimited swipes. The other features are worth exploring, especially Tinder Platinum's ability to send messages with a like.
