Dating Apps Reddit – Mentality, Slide, and More

Dating Apps Reddit

Dating Apps Reddit: Online dating/apps are a tool for you to meet people you might never otherwise meet.

Introduction

• Welcome to the beautiful world of dating apps! You have never been closer to knowing your future OS/connection while defecating than you are now.
• It will sometimes be exciting and fun, and that’s a good thing! With the right mindset and profile, you’ll be a happy and active member of your local dating group.

Mentality

• Before diving into dating apps, you need to have a good understanding. Jumping on dating apps days after an emotional breakup won’t be a cathartic experience, and you’ll end up feeling worse than before.
• On the other hand, if you’re a horny college student, take a second to come up with a proper game plan before you start. You will avoid unnecessary pitfalls and save yourself a lot of time, energy and money.

Profile Settings

Damn, are you still here!? Awesome! Let’s set up your profile. Your goal here is to present the best version of your authentic self.

• You want to be honest about who you are, what you look like, what your personality is like, and what you like to do.
• BUT you should still choose photos/write a bio that emphasizes your best traits, not your worst.

Photos

• Your first photo should always clearly show your face, with no other people roughly your age or gender.
• People want to know what you look like, and you’re not doing yourself a favor by making it more difficult to recognize yourself or see your face.
• Your other photos should show your potential matches and a couple of other things: your body type, your hobbies/interests, and evidence that you have friends.
• You are taking at least four photos. Everyone must contribute in at least one category, and among all the images you have included, all types must be covered.
• The more unique each photo is from the last, the better. It shows more of your personality and gives potential matches more opportunities to find things about you that they can relate to.
• For example, suppose all the photos are of you with your frat brothers drinking bud light from pastel koozies or duck-faced bathroom selfies.
• In that case, your potential matches will assume you’re idiotic and basic as shit because you haven’t shown them anything to indicate it.

Slide

• All dating apps penalize people who furiously hit everyone. Don’t furiously swipe everyone because you’re just “casting a wide net” – it’s a lousy strategy, and your profile will be shown to fewer people.
• Your judgment on who to swipe should be yours. Lifting to more or fewer people has pros and cons. I prefer less because when I hear a ding that I met someone, I know it’s someone I’d like to go on a date with.
• But, again, whatever you decide, don’t let part of your judgment be to prove to yourself that you are attractive to men/women.
• You’ll invariably feel snubbed by people you weren’t attracted to in the first place, who legitimately assess you based on their criteria and decide you’re not the one for them either.

Dates/appointments

• As other users of this sub have said before, choosing something that requires a low commitment is your best option for a first date, so if everything goes wrong, don’t get stuck in a dull/bad/dangerous situation. Study together (if they are students).
• Drinks, coffee, and dessert are good options. Bad/potentially harmful choices are an expensive dinner, a movie, a home-cooked meal, or a nature walk. Save them for date number two or later.
