Ever since Tinder launched into the online dating market in 2012, they've been adjusting how their app works to improve the user experience and to keep you hooked on swiping.
To do this, they've continued to roll out more features to enhance the experience of using the app, and the Tinder top picks feature is no exception.
If you're new to online dating it might feel frustrating at first, but once you figure out how to make dating apps work for you, you'll start getting more matches — which will lead to more dates.
If you struggled getting matches, it may be because of the algorithm, not just your photos! Have a look at our latest product, summarizing all you need to get a TOP account, in a few hours.
The goal of Tinder is to get the right swipes until you find your perfect match. And while this might not mean being life-long soul mates, you can at least find Tinder users you find attractive.

That’s why you should go with ROAST, who have studied how dating apps work so that you don’t have to. Put your profile in their hands, and they’ll show you exactly what you need to do to make it a winner. You’ll start getting more matches and likes in no time. Start by taking their quiz.

Ready to boost your online dating knowledge?
STOP swiping for nothing, use ROAST to get data-driven feedback and a clear action plan to become an expert.
So what are Tinder top picks? Launched in 2018, the picks feature aims to show you the users that Tinder thinks are the best match for you.
As Tinder explains, all users receive one top pick a day, but only Tinder gold or Tinder platinum members will see a whole set of top picks every day. If you aren't a Tinder gold or platinum member, you're missing out on the ability to take full advantage of the Tinder top picks feature.
Because Tinder is full of potential matches, it can be worthwhile to take advantage of the premium user experience to get an advantage over free users.
All of these features are just unnecessary fluff. Tinder hinges on the moment when someone decides to match with you or not. That’s the real moment of truth. Improve your odds by improving your profile. ROAST knows all the best ways to optimize your profile so you get a right swipe. This will naturally lead to more matches and more people who vibe with you. Talk to ROAST today.
Small aside. Did you know it is possible to make your profile more attractive in 2 minutes and get more dates every day?
Thanks to our AI trained on 10,000+ pictures rated by hot guys and girls, you will be able to access personalized feedback and tips to boost your dating profile for good.
You will know exactly which pictures are good or not, and most importantly why.
So, what are you waiting for to take charge of your dating life?

ROAST can help you understand WHY and HOW to fix it.
The Tinder app's algorithm combines information from your Tinder profile along with other details you've provided to decide who the Tinder top pics should be for you — while doing the same thing for other users.
The Tinder algorithm also looks at your swiping behavior to decide who your top picks should be.
Once the behind-the-scenes magic is done, Tinder shows you a batch of profiles it's decided are your top picks, and then you get to decide if you want to like or Super Like any of the profiles.
If you struggle with your matches, don't hesitate to have a look at ROAST. It might be the start of a new life! Nobody knows how to use Tinder the right way at the beginning. It’s actually a science, with specific cues and specific behaviors, and it’s pretty different from real life social interaction. But ROAST knows, and they’re ready to give you the keys to the kingdom. They’ll review your profile and tell you what you should be doing differently. You’ll always know what to do after getting help from ROAST.
Let's get down to study those top picks deeply!

The good news is that the Tinder algorithm is looking for a lot of the same things that regular Tinder users are looking for. So you can use the same strategy when deciding how to build out your Tinder profile.
Here are some of the features top profiles have in common:
You're tying to find dates you think are attractive? Well, they want to find you attractive, too. It's important to choose a profile photo that will highlight your best features.
You can choose which photo Tinder will show first, so that should be your best shot. But the other photos you include matter too.
To take a good picture, make sure you consider everything from the lighting to the background. You want to make sure your features show clearly, and that nothing behind you is distracting. No bathrooms and no piles of dirty laundry!
Take advantage of tools on your phone such as the timer so that you can get a flattering shot, without the tell-tale selfie angle.
But don't go overboard with photo tools. It'll be obvious if your image is heavily filtered and people will wonder what you're trying to hide.
You want to give both Tinder users and the Tinder algorithm as much information as possible to work with.
Share details about yourself, your hobbies, and any unique characteristics you have. Remember, you're trying to stand out from the crowd so she won't swipe left, and the more information you share, the better chance you have to get a match.
Another thing the Tinder top pick algorithm is looking for is how to categorize your profile. Because it's trying to match people who are likely to get along, it's taking each user's profile interests into consideration.
So if you like sports, the top picks profiles it shows you are likely to be sporty, and so on.

Our official answer? Maybe.
All Tinder users stand a decent chance of getting matches by using the features that are already available to everyone for free.
When deciding if you want to pay, consider all the additional perks and features that will be available, like knowing who has liked your profile, rather than whether the top picks screen alone is worthwhile.
Also, you don't need to be a gold or platinum member in order to show up on another person's profile as a top pick. So it's still worth using all the tips outlined here for maximizing your profile's potential to become a top pick, even if you aren't going to pay for the feature.
If you're still uncertain about what to do, try out the basic version of the Tinder dating app first. Play with optimizing each section of your profile and pay attention to what results you're getting.
If after you've tried changing out your photos and editing your bio you're still not getting the results you're looking for, then maybe it's time to join the ranks of Tinder gold subscribers to see if Tinder top picks and the other premium features give you the boost you're looking for.
Paying for Premium is not a guarantee. It doesn’t improve your profile at all, so everyone who sees it will react the same way. That’s why profile optimization is the way to go. ROAST can optimize your profile because they know what a good profile looks like. They know what kind of profile attracts someone. They’re ready to apply that knowledge to you. They’ve even got an AI that analyzes how successful your profile picture will be. Start by taking their short quiz.
