Let’s face it, romance is a dying art, instead of being sent flowers, we now get super-liked on Tinder. Don’t get me wrong; it’s a nice feeling that somebody is paying to set themselves aside from the crowd to try and pique your interest. But what really entices us to swipe right? Now, there are a lot of factors that come into play when deciding if you want to go through the whole “so what do you like to do in your free time” small talk, or swiple left and leave them drowning in the vast, desolate Tinder Sea.

To help you guys out, and for our own sake, here is a guide guaranteed to have everybody swiping your way.

We will start with the don’ts and provide you with alternatives.

Instead:

Chuck a group photo somewhere towards the end of your tinder roll, it’s a green flag to see you do have friends. This way, you have already established yourself clearly as an individual and aren’t getting lost in the crowd.

Pro tip: It helps if your friends don’t look good in the pic, so you stand out more!

Instead:

Opt for a fit pic - showcase your personality through your style!

Instead:

Literally anything else.

Instead:

It is solely the floppy fish that’s letting you boys down. If you are hell-bent on showing your undying love for fishing, switch it up a bit, rock a trendy tee that screams “I can handle my rod like a pro!” We want a hint of your fashion sense, and personality, not your fishy conquests. Trust me, it’s a much better look for reeling in those matches.

P.S. Tinder is actually banning "fish photos" because it has become such a problem. May as well get ahead of it.

Instead:

Cover up, subtly show off that you exercise and look after yourself, in style. Show us how you adventure. Let me reiterate that personal style matters, especially when it comes to keeping potential matches from sprinting for the hills at the first sight of nipples. Wearing clothes is a step in the right direction, saving us all from a hasty retreat. If anything, we want to see your frolicking around in nature.
