Dating Apps Work, If You Know How To Use Them (7 Tricks)
The times they Are a changing It seems unthinkable, but only twenty years ago an ordinary citizen only had the possibility of meeting other people in the physical environments that he frequented: university, office, entertainment venues…
Nowadays, we are just a click away from meeting people with whom we can have a romantic encounter. If you are aware of new trends, you will have realized that there are dating apps. In this article, and thanks to the data obtained and studied by Badoo (the largest dating app in the world), we can get closer to this reality and detect certain patterns that make us more attractive in this digital world.
¿Why pay attention to Badoo? Very simple, after more than 10 years of experience in the sector and more than 370 million users around the world, they are the best people to give advice and thus be successful when it comes to flirting online.
If there are profiles that arouse great interest in these flirting apps and others that do not do so much, it is logical to think that there are some tricks that work, and others that simply generate rejection.
Let’s find out what are the tips to be more attractive in these apps. Are you prepared?
1. Select your profile photo correctly
In a previous post, and also thanks to the data provided by Badoo, we revealed which types of profile photos are most used by users and which are most successful.
Profile photos that work and therefore maximize your chances of attracting matches have the following requirements:
2. Present yourself as someone with positive passions and hobbies
We are much more predisposed to meeting someone who transmits values such as optimism and joviality, and who enjoys positive hobbies. Think about it: do you prefer to share moments with someone who doesn’t leave their house, or with an athlete, or a climber, or a traveler…?
It’s not about exaggerating. If you really have calmer hobbies (reading, video games)… you can also find your ideal partner through dating apps. But if you have an adventurous soul, you should exploit this version of yourself as soon as possible.
3. “Matches”: 10 minutes a day are enough
To encourage other people to “match” with you, dedicate 5 or 10 minutes a day to the app You know: on Badoo there is the little heart or swiping the profile to the right to the people you would like to meet.
The algorithms of these dating apps have a predilection toward users who interact more frequently, so the possibilities of accumulating matches accumulate over time. It’s up to you to manage these incipient interactions to reach an in-person meeting.
4. Be original, creative and respectful
Once you have gotten a few matches with girls or boys you like, comes the part in which the interaction will mark the destiny of this potential relationship. At Badoo they have detected that some interaction styles are much more powerful than others.
There is no point in being cold or excessively pedantic. Just be simple but creative and, above all, always maintain good manners and let the person you interact with know that you care about their feelings.
5. Have some idea about your expectations
Life is changing, surprising, uncertain… But when you start a conversation with a person on a dating app, you should have some basic notions of what you expect from that interaction. That is to say: are you looking for a partner? Are you only looking to have sporadic sexual encounters? Maybe you are interested in a friendship “and whatever comes of it”?
Being honest when you start to have some intimacy with your match is a great idea. It is not necessary to reveal all your cards at the first opportunity, but you do need to give signals of what you are looking for and what you are not, and see if that person also thinks the same, so as not to waste time if you are not on the same wavelength.
6. Analyze the profile of your matches well
By taking a few minutes to explore your matches’ profiles, you can gain valuable information that will help you create a friendly environment For example, her interests and hobbies can help us see if we get along with him or her. And if we have hobbies in common, what better excuse to open a conversation about them?
In the end, when we seek to have a romantic encounter we are eager to feel comfortable with the person we are meeting. It is not a universal maxim, but having shared interests is a great facilitator: communication will be more fluid.
7. Avoid anything that makes you seem frivolous or superficial
Even if you are only interested in sporadic encounters, showing a superficial appearance is never a good letter of introduction. For several reasons: other users may not take you very seriously, so the interactions will be very one-dimensional and focused on sex… Maybe you’re just looking for that, but… isn’t it better to leave a door open so that something else can arise with someone you’re really attracted to?
To avoid giving an image that is too superficial, take some time to complete and improve the interest sheet, your hobbies and tastes, so that other users know that, in addition to being a physical person, you are a person who they can discover if they earn it. .
