Post pictures where you look sexy.
Jokes…well, sort of. A new show in the U.S. called Love at First Swipe is about to hit the airwaves (I implore you not to watch it, let’s not encourage this crud), Huffington Post honouring the announcement by chatting to two experts on how one can get more right swipes.
The rationale? Right swipes lead to dates, dates lead to relationships, those end in marriage and a lifetime of happiness – or for the more immediately gratified you might get laid a little more often.
Let’s see what pearls of wisdom Clinton Kelly and Devyn Simone have for those looking to give their profile a tweak for the better:
One: If it’s broken, fix it. “If no one’s responding to your profile, write something different,” Kelly said. “If you don’t like your photos, grab a friend, go to a park, and take 1,000 shots to get one you like. Nothing says you’re married to the first profile you put up.”
To that point, it’s also worth NOT comparing yourself to friends — instead, get them to help you out. “Just because your friend Sally is getting messaged like crazy doesn’t mean she has any better chance at love than you do,” Kelly said. But, “if you can’t think of anything nice to say about yourself,” Kelly mentions, he advises having a friend say it for you.
Two: You can definitely find someone online! “As of this year around 10 percent of couples have met online,” Simone explains, and she assures that “there is hope” for anyone.
Finally (and most importantly), any app of your choosing is just a platform and your success depends on you. “The power is in your hands,” Simone said, adding “the website, the subscription plan, not even your potential dates determine your success in finding love. You do!” And if that’s not encouraging enough, remember: “After all, you never know when you’ll have a date with destiny.”
Inspiring stuff, really top notch team.
I’m willing to bet that Sally is getting messaged like crazy because she’s sending racy pics of herself…
