You may have seen the "Top Picks" feature that recommends your profile to other users based on your interests and hobbies.You will have a higher chance of matching with someone if you become a Top Pick.If you make a few changes to your profile, you can increase your chances of becoming a top pick on the dating app.
Step 1: Tell us more about yourself by filling in your education and job information.
Adding your education and occupation can help the Top Picks algorithm pick you out.It is more likely that you will be matched with someone as a Top Pick if you provide more information about yourself.For example, say that youStudied Engineering atASU and are currently working as a technical engineer for a startup.
Step 2: Use the right words to get the label you want.
You can use your bio to increase your chances of being a Top Pick.Put "fitness" in your bio if you want to be labeled an athlete.If you want to be called a scholar, put "literature" or "university" in your bio.Try to write your bio with key words that the algorithm will pick up, because you can't choose your own labels.If you want to be labeled an adventurer, you could write, "I'm always jumping from city to city, traveling around and seeing new things."I don't stay in one place very often, want to join me on this adventure.
Step 3: You can link your social media to your profile on the dating app.
It will allow your potential matches to look a little deeper into your life and personality, but it will also boost your profile and give you a better shot at becoming a Top Pick.The more you have on your profile, the better.Since they will know a little bit more about you, linking your social media accounts can help strike up a conversation.
Step 4: To avoid confusion, use clear language.
The Top Picks feature is run by a computer and can be fooled by certain phrases.If you say that your exercise includes walking to the fridge and back, the program will label you as an athlete.Straight-forward statements about yourself highlight who you are.It is possible to put jokes into your profile, but try not to use humor that could make you look like you are not.
Step 5: Make sure your picture is the first one.
When they assemble all your profiles in a grid, you will only see the first picture of you.Make sure that your first photo is in focus, has good lighting, and doesn't have a bunch of other people in it to distract from your smiling face.
Step 6: The Top Picks grid has head shots of you.
The upper 1/3 of your body from your shoulders is usually shown in pictures.If you have a photo like this, make sure you put it as your first picture so it shows up in the Top Picks grid.Almost all of the top picks are made up of head shot images.
Step 7: Make sure you can see your eyes in the picture.
Pictures of you hiding your eyes with sunglasses or a wide-brimmed hat make you look like a strange person.If you don't have obstruction on your face, the dating app will be able to see who you are based on.Since people can see who you are right away, this will probably get you more matches.
Step 8: Your matches know who you are if you choose a photo by yourself.
It is easier to pick out who you are in a photo with profiles with photos of people alone.Group photos of you and your friends are fine if you have them.Try to limit it to 2 or 3 shots, and put them near the end of your pictures.People may not be able to tell which person you are in too many group photos.
Step 9: Avoid taking selfies on a self-timer.
Although it is easy to take selfies, they don't look very engaging in the Top Picks grid.Try to choose a photo of yourself enjoying a hobby, spending time with friends, or chilling outside in nature.If you have a really great selfie, put it in the middle of your picture roll so it is not the first one.You should not use filters that distort your facial features.It can be off-putting for potential matches to see a photo with a lot of filters.
