Tinder advice

Firstly - I realise there's bigger issues out there, I get that.
Also, I know tinder is ****, so superficial etc.

However, I'm getting virtually no matches, and wanted your guys advice on what I'm doing wrong!

Here's my profile: https://www.gotinder.com/@matthew150

Not sure how it works, but supposedly that should let you see it or something. I get it's not a great photo, but I have very few of me that's not in a group.

Also, what would people recommend from these:

Tinder link will only show your first picture. I don't know why they even bother with that feature but hey-ho.

Firstly, which one is you in your first pic? If I can't tell, then 90% of girls won't be able to tell as they won't bother swiping through the rest of your photos/read the bio.
Secondly, don't worry too much about Tinder. It's a load of shite. Also if you're on Android apparently it's bugged. I hardly get matches myself, but everyone I know with an iPhone gets loads.
Tinder is where girls get to be as shallow and judgmental as they want, because tons of guys match with them.

Ah I see, I thought there was a link which took you to the profile in-app?

The one on the right, but fair enough comment.
I do agree about it being a load of ****, but seems worth a shot, have had success with it before so thought I'd give it another try.

Would either of these be better?

Top 1 is good, you're a bit smiley, can be off putting. Actually in certain cultures smiling like that is considered insincere and foolish :tongue:. On tinder everything is about appearance to the lowest detail, the helicopter seems your best bet, you look quite confident, tall, and the helicopter says things about your personality, not to mention how it captures your attention.

I can't see why you don't get any matches you're fairly good looking and you go to a great uni doing a great course **** I wouldn't stand a chance if you don't get any replies.

And don't say that, I'm sure you'll do fine! As others have said, Tinder is awful.

Well I only saw the first one as I don't have an account and don't want to make one but perhaps if you had a photo like the one you've got but with you on your own. I'm not being funny but you with another guy detracts from your self a bit.

I'd remove the last picture. It's not very flattering but you're otherwise good looking.
Maybe gain a little muscle and you'll be fine.

You are very good looking. I just think people know what a waste Tinder is. It's basically a hook-up for sex database lmfao. I'd say a lot of guys and girls just use it to toy around, that might be why.

Yeah Mathew you're too good for Tinder, IMO you need photos of you on you're own portraits of yourself.

Which one do you think is the best out of the ones I posted?
