Step 1
A ‘Fake’ Facebook
Before you login to your Tinder account, you need to create a fake Facebook. While some men may have the perfect photos on their personal Facebook account, a majority of men will benefit from creating a fake Facebook account strictly to use on Tinder.
See Tinder does not provide men with many photo-editing options. All Tinder allows you to do is select a photo from your Facebook and then center it. You barely get any cropping options and certainly no filtering choices.
By creating a fake Facebook account, you allow yourself to tinker with your photos until everything is just right. You can upload photos of yourself that may not be on your personal Facebook. You can upload photos that you would not want on your personal Facebook.
Your photos are your most important part of your Tinder profile and game. Creating a fake Facebook account gives you the flexibility to ensure all your best photos end up on your Tinder profile, not just the ones that happen to be on your personal Facebook account.
Creating Your Fake Facebook
To create your fake Facebook account, go to Facebook and click the “Sign Up” button. There are two things to note when creating your fake Facebook:
● First, you want to use your real first name and a fake last name.
● Second, you want to use an email for this Facebook account that you never use or check. Make sure you are the only person with access to this account. This email account will get blown up with notifications.
Once you have signed up for your fake Facebook and verified your email, you are free to begin setting up your fake account.
The first thing you will want to do is go to the Tinder Seduction Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/pages/TinderSeduction/1416986031894452). This page will help you add new “friends” to your fake Facebook.
*Do not add any photos of yourself until you have completed the next few steps…
To use Tinder you must connect your Tinder profile with a Facebook account that has at least 50 friends. Tinder has determined that if you have less than 50 friends on Facebook you are a fake or you’re too much of a loser to use Tinder anyway.
So the first step in getting your fake Facebook up and running is to get 50 friends. This is where the Tinder Seduction page above comes into play. While logged into your fake Facebook account with zero photos posted, ‘Like” the Tinder Seduction page.
Once you ‘Like’ the page, go to the section of the page where you can ‘Post’ comments. You should see numerous people posting there, asking people to add or ‘friend’ them. These people are all doing exactly what you are.
Quickly type something into the Posts/Comments section like, “Add for add!” Then scroll through all the people who have posted in that section of the page in the last few days. Open their profiles in new tabs and send them all friend requests.
After 12-24 hours, you should have at least 50 new ‘Friends’ on your fake Facebook. Once you do, you are almost ready to add your photos.
But not yet…
Step 2
The “Facebook Liking Spree” Hack
Before you add photos, you are going to want to go on a “Liking” spree on your new Facebook account.
We do this because girls use Tinder differently than guys do. With us it’s purely physical, especially on Tinder. If we see a girl we would bang she get a ‘swipe right’ plain and simple.
Most of these girls actually read your profile and look through all your pictures. Weird, I know. But you need to remember…
Tinder is a place where the comfort aspect of the game is almost wholly forgotten. Thus, if a girl finds herself highly physically attracted to a man’s photos on Tinder she may desire to know a bit more about him. She may want to feel comfortable before she meets up with you.
This is certainly not every girl. Many women on Tinder are doing the exact same thing as us guys. Still…
These girls who desire a certain amount of comfort, the same girls that read your profile also check to see if you have any common “Interests” together. This is again her way of creating comfort with you.
When she looks at your commonalities, the only “Interests” that are shown to her are the commonalities you two have both ‘Liked’ on Facebook will. She has no ideas about your interest outside of the commonalities you share.
Use this to your advantage!
Sometimes the difference between getting the ever-coveted ‘Swipe Right’ and getting the axe is your commonalities. Comfort game for the win!
Now this is rare due to the superficiality of Tinder, but it does happen. This doesn’t mean you go around “Liking” every single thing you see on Facebook. No, there is a strategy to this…
When you go on your ‘Liking’ spree on your fake Facebook, think of the random things hot girls ‘Like’ on Facebook and in real life. Then begin ‘liking’ these same types of things.
The only things you want to avoid ‘Liking’ are things that may cause a girl to question if you’re a closeted homosexual.
Sports, sporting teams, musicians, movies, animals (dogs!), foods, etc. are all great things to like, especially anything that is local.
Next, begin ‘Liking’ any and every restaurant, bar, and coffee shop within 5-10 minutes of your place. This is the most important part because you can easily transition into setting up a date near your place if she also “Likes” one of these places.
Then, ‘Like’ all of your favorite bars and clubs in your city.
Next, ‘Like’ every single place you have ever travelled. Finally, ‘Like’ anywhere in the world you would like to travel.
This should set you up to have some type of commonalities with a majority of women on Tinder. While not a huge deal, it’s the little things that count.
Before you upload any photos to your fake Facebook account, you need to educate yourself on selecting the best photos for your Tinder profile…
Step 3
The Most Important Part
On Tinder, your photos are by far the single most important aspect of your profile. If you do not have compelling photos you will get zero attractive matches.
Now I am not going to sit here and tell you there is an exact method and order to selecting your photos on Tinder. There is not. You’re most attractive photo will probably be a completely different style of photo compared to my most attractive photo.
While there is no single formula for determining the perfect Tinder photo, there are a few guidelines. The best photos for your Tinder profile communicate the following to girls:
● In Shape/Athletic
● Fun loving / Social Man
● Cleans Up Well
At this point you should have some type of understanding of the importance of using your best photos on Tinder. And while your photos are the most important part of your profile, they are trumped by one thing on Tinder…
Lust At First Sight
While all the combination of all your photos on Tinder is the most important aspect of Tinder ‘game’, your initial profile picture is the absolutely vital to getting any matches.
When a girl initially sees your Tinder profile the only thing see will see is your first picture. If she is not physically attracted to your first picture or at least intrigued, she will not even look at your other photos, much less ‘swipe right’ on you.
Women experience ‘lust at first sight’ just like we do. If she is not physically attracted your first picture, you will not get what you want from her. Thus, the first and most important hurdle in the Tinder game is your first picture.
Selecting Your First Picture
There are no absolute guidelines when selecting the first photo for your Tinder profile. This is because the absolute best first impression of you through a photograph will be completely unique to you. Your style, swagger, physique, posture, surroundings, and much more determine if you look great in a photograph or if it is a dud. There is no best answer here…
What I can do is give you a few minor guidelines, then show you examples of some of the best photo types to use on Tinder.
First, when selecting your first picture for Tinder you want to make sure the photo is only of you. You can do this by selecting a photo of yourself where you are alone or by cropping a photo. Never use a group photo as your first picture!
Bonus points if you crop a hot girl out of the picture, but you can still kind of tell she is attractive because you keep a tiny sliver of her in the shot.
Your first picture should be from the waist or shoulders up. You should not show your full body from head-to-toe in your first picture on Tinder. As well, you first picture should a high quality photo, but should not look like a professional photographer staged it.
You may have a photo in mind to use as your first picture on Tinder already. You may be looking for a bit more specific advice…
Either way, below will help to clarify some of the best types of pictures to use on Tinder.
How To Select Which Photos To Use On Tinder
Meeting single women on Tinder can take a little skill, but it is not complicated. With little to no introduction, a women will decide whether a man is worth her time or not, and your photos are the single biggest indicator of what she chooses. At the end of the day, your pictures will be doing the legwork for you.
Two more keys with your photos:
● You need a minimum of three photos on your profile. I’ve found the sweet spot to be 3-5 photos on your profile. I’ve occasionally had 6 photos on my Tinder profile.
● Also, make sure to diversify your funds. Don’t have three of the same photo types. One face selfie is great. Five of them makes you look like a narcissist with no friends. Just make sure to have a few different types of photos.
Examples Of The Best Types Of Photos To Use On Tinder
The Selfie:
Yes I said it, a selfie. Specifically, a selfie that shows off your face. Tinder is a dating app where people choose if they are attracted to you strictly through your photos. Women are typically rank facial features as the number one physical trait they are attracted to in a man. Thus, women want to see what you face looks like right off the bat. One of the best ways to do that is with a selfie.
No matter how anti-selfie you are, you probably have one where you look good. Don’t be afraid to throw it on Tinder.
A selfie that highlights your facial features can be a great first picture for men on Tinder.
The Man’s Best Friend:
A photo with a cute puppy may be the absolute best picture to use on Tinder. While I have accepted this as fact, it makes absolutely no sense to me. Which makes sense, as these hoes make no sense…but a picture with a dog is a huge hit on Tinder. Seriously, these girls love puppies.
*If you have a decent picture with a puppy, use it. As well, if you facial features look good in this photo with a puppy then this would be the best photo for your first picture.
The “This Is What I Do” Photo:
It’s never bad to throw a picture of you doing what you love to do on your profile. If you have a picture of you doing a favorite hobby or activity, throw it in your profile.
Well, unless you love to run marathons or play videos games. Don’t put a picture of you running a marathon or playing video games, they are like anti-poon.
The best types of photos featuring you doing something you love to do are typically athletic. These could be a photo of you surfing, playing basketball, lifting weights, etc.
These photos are also a great way to show off your physique. If you have six-pack abs or are jacked, use a photo that shows off your body while you are doing something. Straight flexing mirror selfies are not a big hit on Tinder.
A photo that shows off your physique (if you are in good shape) while doing something can be a great first picture on Tinder if your facial features are also prominent.
The Smiler:
Yeah, dating is supposed to be fun. Weird, right? So show some emotion in your pictures, these are not prison photos!
Smile and look genuinely happy in at least a few of your pictures. What kind of girl wants to get to know, let alone date a guy that looks depressed or emotionless? Please keep in mind: a smile or looking happy does not mean duck faces, these sorts of faces make men look immature and ridiculous.
While a smiling photo or two are great, I would personally avoid them for your profile picture unless your physique looks incredible in the photo or you just have a great fucking smile.
The Outdoorsman:
Another great photo option for men on Tinder is to use a photo that features you in the outdoors. Women love to date men with a sense of adventure. Women love men who enjoy and appreciate the great outdoors.
This could be a photo of you fishing, surfing, hiking, on the beach, at the lake, etc. There are thousands of different ways to enjoy the great outdoors. You can also use an outdoorsy photo to show off your physique.
One key ‘don’t’ with an outdoor photo is to never have a gun, an animal you killed, or a fish you caught in your hand. All these photo types are played out on Tinder.
The Suit:
This is where the “cleans up well” guideline comes into play. If you have a picture in a suit, use it.
Chicks dig suits! Just make sure the suit is well fitting and stylish. Chicks love a man in suit, but not if the suit is hideous and/or does not fit you well.
