Now that you understand why Tinder's algorithm exists, and the mindsets to have when using the app, let's jump to practical ways of improving your rating!
Get a solid profile
Hack #1: Be exhaustive
Provide a lot of descriptive information. It is important to convey a lot to become an attractive profile.
Tinder's algorithm uses your profile to match you with other people, so the more detail about yourself and what you're looking for in a partner, the better! Be sure to include only super-expressive photos. Some that bring something to the table. Try not to go overboard on tinder bio. Concise and efficient.
But check that you show or state your strengths! No one will do it for you.
Connecting external sources of information such as a solid Instagram or Facebook profile can be a good thing. It will strengthen your profile in the eyes of other users ONLY IF your pictures are good! Otherwise it can weakens your profile even more. Any doubt about that?
It will also give more data to Tinder's algorithm, and... help you be a good user.
Be a good user. Being a model user is super important to be ranked well! In order to do so you have many options!
Hack #2: Use all Tinder's features.
When Tinder launches a new feature, they favor people using them, to encourage adoption! Seize the opportunity.
Vibes are one of the latest addition as I write this article. And it's fun!
The easiest way to get a small boost while having fun!
Hack #3: Connect often.
Connecting often has several impacts. the most important is that you are likely to bring other people on the app! Tinder likes active users. That is clearly the best behavior you can have. Swipe often. It is clearly a win-win here!
Be careful though. With each tip its risks. Even if you are a good active user, don't swipe TOO MUCH. You could be tempted with Tinder Plus, Tinder Gold, or Tinder Platinium to swipe constantly.
There would be a risk for you to get flagged as a bot! It's after like 2000 swipes per day ;).
Hack #4: Travel
Traveling is something Tinder favors. You will receive a boost when reaching a new city. The app wants you to have a good experience associating Tinder and travels.
Be careful though! It is not true with fake travels using passports. The city change feature of Tinder. Abusing a passport is very likely to decrease your score.
Behave like a VIP
It is important that Tinder understands that you are worth a lot! At least in what Tinder would consider important.
Hack #5: Be super selective
That is the most common advice. Differentiate yourself from the mass of other guys. If you are not selective, what will the algorithm think?
OK this guy likes almost everything. So in order to make everyone happy, I can send him anything. And I will save the highly demanded profiles for the picky guys.
Easy work for the algo to please you!
You want to be one of those picky guys. Swipe right only on super attractive profiles. So like I said before, swipe often, but swipe carefully.
You don’t see any super attractive profiles? That means you’re B-ranked or C-ranked, know how to get A-ranked!
Watch your mouth
Hack #6: Write to your Tinder matches, fast.
60% of guys do not even write to their Tinder matches. That is a very bad user habit since you do not bring girls on the app doing so.
Also, you are aware that most girls have WAY more matches than you. Why losing an opportunity to make a great first impression. Check out our article about Tinder openers if you struggle too much!
Learn to take the lead and action fast. It pays off a lot!
Hack #7: Use elaborate vocabulary
It is shown that the algorithm recognizes an elevated tone, with the use of long words. Forget childish internet way of writing.
Hack #8: Use the features, once more
Use what is at your disposal. At the time I am writing it is sharing vibes for instance. But it can be GIFS and everything else!Don't be shy but don't abuse.
Hack #9: Pay!
Who is likely to be favored by Tinder? Answer: a paying user. You are making them a living, of course, they do not want you to stop!
A frustrated paying user would leave fast. I personally would not stop giving all the results I had with subscriptions. In-app purchases are generally welcomed and favored by the algorithm!
However, WARNING. Do not pay if you do not have a strong profile first.
So before committing, checkout Tinder Matcher to be sure to be on track with a solid Tinder Profile review, otherwise you’ll just lose thousands of dollars like me before. I don’t want it to happen anymore to anyone else.
Hack #10: Reset your account
If your score is too low, you can always reset your account.
Watch out though! If you want to reset your Tinder account without getting banned / shadowbanned, you need the right tools and knowledge. This guide will help you do it safely!
Our step-by-step guide will show you how to reset your profile properly so that no one can tell that this was done recently. We'll also teach how to avoid being shadowbanned when doing this or any other action on Tinder (like swiping).
We tried to cover everything you need to know on Tinder's algorithm. It is applicable to other dating apps such as OkCupid, Hinge, or Bumble of course!
But as you can see, this is not really an easy topic, but today things have never been so simple thanks to Tinder Matcher so don’t let your average friends get all the A-ranked hot girls just because they use such an easy tool for FREE.
By construction, there is a NEED for a matching algorithm.
The question is how to play it to our advantage!
