I’m a girl and i was talking with a dude friend that also like men about why we swipe right on someone. We realised that someone with a genuine smile can turn a left swipe in a right swipe lol. Just a conversation i had with another dude liker.

  1. One of the first things that caught my eye on my now-boyfriend’s Hinge profile pictures was his beautiful smile and cute dimples!

  2. All of your pictures should be taken in mind of “is this a person someone can see themselves on a date with…or in a relationship with”…that’s literally how you sell yourself OLD. Smiling and looking fun is usually a good look on people.

  4. I try to smile in a lot of my pictures, just as an instinct because I don’t really know what else to do. But I’m told sometimes that it makes me look gay

  6. This is old news and it doesn’t work. Go to a profile help subreddit. Tons of guys asking for help on their profiles and they are all smiling.

  7. I’ve always read this, but I tried putting pictures on that Photofeeler website and if I put a smiling picture they say it looks forced (no matter how I’m smiling, I’ve tried different smiles). So then I post one without me smiling and they say they wish I was smiling. I can’t win!

  9. 100%

    Not smiling makes me think you either have bad teeth, you’re too serious or maybe depressed, or you’re a creep who will murder me. I never swipe right unless there’s at least one smiling photo.

  10. Guys should always have at least one smiling pic for their online profiles. Not smiling doesn’t make a guy look cool, but it does make him look like a hard-ass and possible sociopath or serial killer. Guys, it’s okay to smile

  14. I swipe right on everything because I have no patience. My logic – swipe then go through them after. I don’t smile and it works. But I keep myself well groomed. I think that’s important too. Smiles are great though, show off the pearly whites. If you’re on tinder though, nobody says “I swiped right because of your smile”

  15. Highly depends.

    * Some people have a nice smile, some might not. Fortunately I have a decent smile, but it took some practice.

    * Smiling in too many of your pics is usually not a great idea, but again, it depends.

    * The harsh reality is that looking “masculine” is pretty important in dating profiles, unless you’re finding a niche wife. You can look very masculine while smiling, but again, depends on context. I’ve seen profiles where the guy smiles but looks goofy and kinda like a kid.

    Basically, there’s a middle ground here. It’s not just “smile and you’ll get more matches.” Throw in a smile in the first or second pic. Make sure you look good in it. You don’t *have to* smile in every pic. Often a non-smiling pic can make you look just as good, as long as there’s a mix.
