Someone asked Martine:
âI keep swiping and getting no matches on apps⌠could it be my photos? Any advice on that, or on prompts?â
Hereâs what Martine wants you to consider:
1ď¸âŁÂ Start with your photos.
Are they recent? Do they actually look like you today? Your profile should give someone an authentic sense of who theyâre going to meet.
2ď¸âŁÂ Show your life, not just your face.
Your photos can tell a story. Love to travel? Include a photo from a trip. Big sports fan? Show yourself at a game. Give people something to connect with.
3ď¸âŁÂ Let your personality come through.
Your profile shouldnât just answer, âWhat do you look like?â It should make someone curious about who you are.
4ď¸âŁÂ Think about what makes you YOU.
Your interests, personality, lifestyle and the things youâre genuinely excited about can help the right person see a reason to start a conversation.
5ď¸âŁÂ Give people something to respond to.
Your photos and prompts should create openings for someone to say, âWait, tell me more about that.â
6ď¸âŁÂ Donât measure your worth in matches.
A dating app is one platform with one set of algorithms and a limited snapshot of who you are. The number of matches you get does not determine your value.
The goal isnât to create the profile that gets the most matches.
Itâs to create a profile that authentically represents you and attracts people who are actually interested in getting to know you.
And sometimes, the right profile isnât about looking more impressive.
Itâs about letting people see more of who you already are.
