How to flirt through an app? 7 tricks that work
If there are profiles that arouse great interest in these dating apps and others that do not, it is logical to think that there are some tricks that work, and others that simply generate rejection.
We are going to know what are the tips to be more attractive in these apps. Are you ready?
1. Select your profile photo correctly
In a previous post, and also thanks to the data provided by Badoo, we revealed which are the types of profile photo most used by users and the ones that are most successful.
Profile photos that work and therefore maximize your chances of attracting matches have the following requirements:
- Your face is shown correctly
- They have an optimistic demeanor, although not necessarily smiling
- Color photo better than black and white
- Avoid overly artistic photos
2. Present yourself as someone with positive passions and hobbies.
We are much more predisposed to meet 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 does not leave home, or with an athlete, or a climber, or a traveler ???
This is not to exaggerate. If you really have calmer hobbies (the reading, the videogames)... 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 is 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 slide the profile to the right of the people you would like to meet.
The algorithms of these applications to find a partner have a predilection towards users who interact more frequently, so the chances of accumulating matches accumulate over time. It is up to you to manage these incipient interactions to get to an in-person meeting.
4. Be original, creative and respectful
Once you've gotten a few matches with girls or boys you like, comes the part where the interaction will mark the fate of this potential relationship. On Badoo they have found that some styles of interaction are much more powerful than others.
It is useless to be cold or overly pedantic. Just be simple but creative and, above all, always maintain good manners and let the person you interact with notice that you care about their feelings.
5. Have a certain idea about your expectations
Life is changing, surprising, uncertain... But when you start a conversation with a person in a dating app, you should have a minimal notion 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 up"?
Being honest when you start to get intimate with your match is a great idea. It is not necessary to uncover all your letters at the first change, but you do need to give signals of what you are looking for and what not, and see if that person also thinks the same, so as not to waste time if you are not in the same wave.
6. Analyze well the profile of your matches
If you spend a few minutes exploring the profile of your matches, you will be able to obtain valuable information that will help you create an environment of sympathy.. For example, his interests and hobbies can make us see if we get along with him or her. And if we have hobbies in common, what better excuse to open a conversation around 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 cover letter. 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 for something else to come up with someone who really attracts you?
To avoid giving an image too superficial, spend some time completing and improving the interest sheet, your hobbies and tastes, so that other users know that, in addition to being a physicist, you are a person whom they can discover if they win.
