10 Best Tinder Tips for Guys in 2025

Think about the best Tinder profiles you've seen. You know, the ones that make you swipe right on sight?

They're short and sweet.

The perfect balance of witty, confident, and attractive—all in a few sentences. So don't be like those people who write novella-length bios or post selfies with their cat (yes, I'm looking at you).

Furthermore, the most important thing in your dating profile is your first impression. It's the way you want people to see you and it can make or break how successful your dating experience will be.

Don't let one bad picture ruin the whole thing, take time with your profile pictures and think about what they might say about you before posting them on Tinder.

How do you know what's a bad picture? You see pictures of yourself all the time, so how can you judge? You need another pair of eyes -- someone who sees you as a stranger. ROAST can help you out. They'll tell you exactly how your profile will perform and how to change it. They know how Tinder works better than anyone else, and they're ready to help you get more matches. Start by taking their short quiz.

This one is so simple, yet so powerful.

A study conducted by Golle et al. (2012) revealed that the evaluation of attractiveness is strongly influenced by the intensity of a smile expressed on a face:

Smiling is a natural expression and it can help people feel happy, confident, and comfortable. It also makes the person seem approachable. So go ahead and smile! You'll be glad you did!

When we created ROAST, the most efficient way to boost your Tinder profile, we asked

"When I'm looking for a date, the first thing that catches my eye is someone's smile. It even becomes more noticeable in pictures!", Anna

That's why you should always be smiling when taking tinder selfies; it'll make you seem much more attractive and desirable to potential matches.

People are more likely to swipe right on your profile if they see a big grin plastered across your face - so put those pearly whites on full display next time you take out your phone camera!

Getting the perfect smile is hard. It has to be organic, natural, and candid. ROAST can take a look at your profile and tell you which one looks the most genuine and appealing to others. Their advice will net you more matches in no time. Talk to ROAST today.

One of the most important aspects to consider when putting together a Tinder profile is that it should showcase variety. The same photos over and over again can get boring, which isn't what you want for your potential matches! That's why we recommend uploading at least 3 different types of pictures in your profile.

It's also important to think about how each photo is portraying you, and the type of person that might swipe right on it. For example, if you're looking for someone who likes to stay active or enjoys traveling then try including more pictures showcasing these things!

Pictures are a powerful way to express your personality. With the right one, you can let people know what type of person they'll get if they end up dating or living with you!

That's for this reason that you may not only rely on your bio to convey your passions and hobbies.

If you want to learn more about which pictures you should upload or not, I'd recommend reading this article that explains the fundamentals of a good Tinder profile.

The best way to know if you're succeeding is by having someone else take a look at your profile. Who better than ROAST -- a team of experts at dating apps? They'll tell you straight up what needs to change, so there will be no more confusion. Their help will get you more matches in no time. Talk to ROAST today.

Did you know that a study found that people are more attracted to individuals who make them laugh? It's true!

But it doesn't stop there, laughter increases the production of hormones such as dopamine and endorphins which can relieve stress. So when you're swiping through Tinder looking for your next match, don't be afraid to crack a joke.

Sending a small joke during the first message is a great way of conveying that you don't take yourself too seriously. It also shows that you're not afraid to make light of things and are able to laugh at yourself.

Humor is so difficult. You can find a joke so funny, but nobody else does. How can you be sure your joke will be funny or charming? Have ROAST take a look. They're like your brand management team, and you're the brand. They'll do everything they can to enhance your best qualities so that they shine. Have ROAST work their magic on your profile today.

Last month I ran a little experiment.

For one week, I replied immediately to all the matches I got. Throwing the first opener that popped in my mind. I got 62 matches and out of those 62 matches, 51 replied.

The week after, I waited about a day before replying. Just if I was pretending to be busy or looking for the perfect pick-up line. I got 57 matches, but can you guess what happened? Only 31 girls replied to my first message!

THAT’S A REPLY RATE OF 54% VS 82% BEFORE.

But that wasn’t the most surprising thing…

Even a mere “hey there” sent immediately was doing better than the most creative line sent a few days after

That may seem odd for some of you… but it's normal. If you wait for too long, she’s gone. Gone!

And your message gets lost among the hundreds of other ones…

Sad, isn’t it?

You want to catch her attention while she’s online

When it comes to online dating, being a good listener is the key.

A conversation should always flow smoothly and if you are able to get them talking about themselves, then they’ll be more likely to open up even further in person!

Plus, you'll never have to worry about running out of things to say. No more awkward pauses in conversations!

So make sure that you're taking some time to really listen and ask questions. You'll be surprised at how much they'll be attracted by your attentiveness and it will definitely lead to more successful dates.

Tinder messages are a delicate balance of flirtation and conversation, but you can never know when to stop. It's up to the other person to make it clear that they're not interested in more chatting or meeting up. This is often very subtle like an emoji or one-word response that will either keep the conversation going or end it.

If you're getting mixed signals from someone, read between the lines so you don't waste your time!

You could also do with a little confidence boost. When you know your profile is fire, your messages will follow suit. That's why you should let ROAST fix up your profile. They've studied what works on dating apps, so their help will point you in the right direction. Start by taking their short quiz.

Emojis are great for adding emphasis to your text or simply communicating quickly - but if you're not careful, they can make it look like you're an emoji spammer. So when is the right time?

Emojis should only be used sparingly and strategically so that people know what emotion you mean by them.

If someone is feeling angry, you might want to use a frowning emoji so they know that your text is not just an offhand comment. And if someone is happy or excited about something - like their new job! - it's appropriate for them to share the excitement with others by adding in some of those smiling faces.

If you want the best of luck with this new app Tinder that is sweeping the nation right now- make sure your mindset stays positive!

Why? Think in this way: if you are feeling negative feelings like anger or sadness from a text message then it's very likely that they will be interpreted as such and responded accordingly on an emotional level - which means negativity.

It doesn't have to stay so sour though; just follow these steps for staying happy while texting someone through Tinder and never get carried away by those pesky emotions ever again-- having fun and a lighthearted attitude when using apps can really help turn things around!
